with a seemingly endless supply of aio's, steve's at it again.

If you don't want to bother with a full water loop like me, you can buy AiO 120mm hybrid coolers separately from evga (prob the easiest DiY) or you can buy something like a corsair H90 140mm AiO cooler (or H55, or the nzxt versions), nzxt kraken G10 brackets for around $35 each, and some M2.5 25mm screws + a copper shim. It adds to the cost considerably though, per card... and that's not even counting if you replace the stock fans with two hydro-dynamic bearing ones on each radiator for push/pull. You could also just wait on the (120mm) hybrid version of the card of course which are typically $120 or more than the stock card.
I'm waiting on the SC ACX or ICX model because it has higher stock boost clocks and more importantly because they have a mid plate which acts as a heat sink and protective layer covering the vram and everything else other than the gpu. The mid plate/cover works better for taking off the stock hsf and installing AiO cooling, without having to mess with gluing on after market mini heat sinks to the vrms (which could fall off over time depending on how well adhered vs heat, incidentally). I already have bags of extra screws, shims, vinyl washers from the first time I did this, and I have two spare nzxt g10 brackets and can re-use my 140mm Cougar CFV14HB fans so I'm all set on those misc parts.
This is how I did it on my two 780ti sc 's with 140mm corsair H90 coolers (two Cougar CFV14HB hydro bearing fans push/pull on each radiator not pictured). Swapped out the stock bracket vrm fans with ARCTIC F9 PWM Rev. 2 Fluid Dynamic Bearing, 92mm PWM fans too ..
