You'll notice that on your card the die is shifted back further than most GPUs and that's the reason for your fitment issue. See if you can return the Accelero and look at an alternative. The Raijintek Morpheus II might fit, but you should measure first.
..well, difficult to answer !
I can compare only what i have tested, i did not test the one you are looking to.
Air Noctua NH-C14 is very good in temps and noise, perfecly adaptated to the ncase, but you have to change the 140mm fans by 120mm as i've done if you want to push pull and also to put a second 120 on the lateral panel.
nh-c14 is expensive and tends to be difficult to find actually as it's not sold anymore. If you add the price of 2 good 120mm pwm fan, it starts to be an expensive air solution.
I can compare to AIO kelvin S24 (240mm) and Corsair H60 (120mm) as i've tested both.
I think 120mm will definitly not be enough for an i7 OC, i had tested it in push pull also (see my thread), it wasn't able to keep under heavy loads at good temps so it became very noisy. May be it would be OK with a stock i5.
Kelvin S24 240mm was tested in 2 fans on one side, as you are not able to push pull a 240mm rad in the Ncase with standard 25mm fans (but possible with slim fans...). It was really good in temps, maybe be 5° or 10° cooler than the air C14 rad in bench ful load.
In iddle or very low loads, very often AIO pumps make more noise compared to an air solution, or you have to choose an AIO on which the pumps can be PWM regulated, it's not often the case.
the kelvin S24 is not very noisy for sure, but it's not totally silent, so if you work all the day on you computer it can be annoying, but you only play in the evening it will not disturb at all.
AIO can also be different to air when you open your case to change a part. The rad will hang unless you remove the block pump from CPU, but you will have access to RAM, GPU, etc... the NH-C14 will have to be removed at each time you want to change something as it really cover everything around him. I cant' remove the GPU without removing the air cooler. But it's very simple to remove, so not a real pb.
I'm not sure to understand, do you speak of the rubber that fit between the NH-C14 and the noctua fan ?
in fact this is not rubber, this is compact foam. This is a simple foam tape (like adhesive) you can find everywhere in makeshift/DIY stores. This is on sidded adhesive, 3mm thickness, i added 2 one above the other to complete the gap.
you can look at pages 4-5-6 on my thread, i had done a lot of picture, i do not want to over load this thread with my pics !

First you put this anti-vibration mounts from the bottom trough bottom grid from the Ncase M1, than you place your fans on the ground and you need a helpful tool like a small pliers to catch the top of the anti-vibration mount and you need be careful pull it up, make this 4 times very patient and the job is done for fan number one, the 2nd fan is bit more tricky since you have no room left, but this works the same way, good luck.
I think its a mistake bc its suppose to be $130 and the 350 $100
. What card? 1080 Ti? Cards with full external exhaust are best in such a small case.Grazi!
And a bit of an update. I got the card in there pretty quick (FE cards and this EVGA card fit removed/fit in without me even having to take the side bracket off -- first big score of the day
Card is wonderful! It's an 'OK' overclocker, but it held steady at 1987Mhz on BF1 after about 30-45 minutes. CPU peaked at 67C, but stayed around 60-65 the whole time. But the best part is the card. Fan speed stayed under 50% and kept the card at a max of 70C. The card literally flopped between 45-50% fan speed and the temps did the same between 69C and 70C. HUGE improvement over what I had to do for the STRIX. So a slightly worse OC'er, but an overall cooler and quieter GPU for this scenario.

Only downside I came across was that I was getting some sag, but this could be more of my mobo slot...who knows. This caused a slight bit of fan interference on the shroud. So to remedy, I put a rubber bump stop on my intake fan's fan shroud where it lined up with the GPU's shroud and voila.
Pics or it didn't happen, eh?
EDIT: Changed that first pic as apparently there was another film of plastic I hadn't yet removed.
I'm thinking of upgrading soon-ish, and would really like to go Ryzen. I'm really hoping we see a board with 2 M.2 slots, built in wifi/BT and of course a great layout. I would be ok with a single m.2, but I have yet to see a leak of this layout :/.
Grab it while you can.. its in stock atm
.What is the RPM at 50%? I ask because I'm still on a 660 Ti and RPM is 1890 at 50% and that is when I begin to hear it and start to be annoying but no need to go there with fan curve I defined I can keep fan below 50% so I'm very curious to know on a 1080 Ti (with blower) what RPM it give when at 50%.
Your signature shows a Strix but you traded it for another 1080 Ti right?
