Not sure about the spikes but I do think it can be related to the fan specs in the BIOS of the card not matching your new fans. You're probably never hitting the correct min. rpm for the fans? Here's a quick post/tip on what I did: post-1043722769

It's worth noting that the fan control/rpm setup will be different between the cards. You'll want your exhaust fan specs to fit with those in the BIOS of the card. I installed the Accelero on a FE card and had to flash it with the SC2 BIOS to get any proper fan control since the blower has way...

I agree, those have too little pressure for this card. You're going to need something like the iPPC-2000 or ML120 Pro. You will also need some sort of duct/shroud to ensure that the pressure reaches the heatsink. I don't see any reason to do this unless you have a bigger cooler, like an Accellero.

Note that the GPU bios is dialed in on the fans specs of the original cooler. These are not the same as the F12, meaning the GPU may think it's running it original fans at 50% but is actually pushing the F12s at max.

Yes, they're connected to the GPU. There should be plenty of power, don't let the small connector fool you. Fan headers are usually able to supply ~1A, in comparison a single F12 draws 0.05A and a ML120 draws 0.225A. You should see a decrease in GPU temp by facing the fans the other way...

Yes, 84c is the max limit, so the card may not be running at full speed. Double check that the fans have indeed max RPM using hwmonitor or something. Are the fans pulling air in or pushing it out? I installed the AC4 + extra heatsinks on the 1080ti FE with an SC2 bios and ended up with temps...

The coils (R22) does not fit with the opening. You'll have to modify/cut the hole bigger.

Isn't it possible to use the faceplate of the SC2 cooler to help distribute the heat? I believe I saw someone do that.

This isn't an uncommon issue and I believe interference can often happen when multiple devices share the same "ground". I'm no expert on the matter, but I always separate the "ground" of my audio devices(TV and PC) from the amplifier using a "ground loop isolator". But before you start...

Very nice setup indeed :-) What RPMs are you getting from the ML120 fans when you set the fan control to the min. %? I'm running the SC2 bios on my 1080ti FE and the ML120s goes down to 440 rpm when set to min. (0 %). I also tested with the NF-f12 and they stop completely at 0 %, but I too...

I think that the Hybrid kit offers good performance but is a bit pricey + that you get than pump humming noise when your computer is idle – but I guess that's a personal preference kind of thing. I feel it's a bit of an overkill for the 1070 – but the installation is easier than the Accelero...

I'm guessing your card's bios is pretty close to the FE which means that the fan controllers min. is limited to 1100 rpm. The way I solved this for my 1080 Ti FE was to use the bios from the EVGA SC2 version of the card since it allows the fans to stop completely. (if the fan supports it that...

Though I'd share my little project; adapting the backplate of the Accelero IV to fit inside the NCASE M1 with an SFX-L PSU, to give the 1080 Ti adequate cooling with less noise. http://imgur.com/a/13nsI It's not pretty but it works, hopefully it can be useful to someone else playing with...

I believe the III comes with some sort of thermal glue. Personally, I got the IV and bought a whole lot of small alu heatsinks + thermal tape. I believe the tape is easier to remove if you decide that you want to go with a different solution later on.

Any thoughts on cramming the new EK Fluid Gaming A240G into the M1? I guess the main issue would be finding a nice spot for the pump/res... rear fan mount? Appears to be a good value cooling and it would be really "cool" to get a block on my 1080ti without breaking the bank.
