Hi mates. I got two 1080TIs Founder's, one of which hits regularly 90C (sometimes 91) with a room temperature of 20/21C, and its fan at 88-90%. The other runs marginally cooler, but always above 85C.
Needless to say, they are loud as hell, and I get no boost (sometimes they even go below 1400 MHz).
My case has a good overall airflow but it has to be said that I use the cards for training neural networks, so it's not like gaming.. They always run at full load.
Now, I got two possible solutions:
a. Accelero Extreme IV. But this will exhaust a lot of hot air inside the case. Moreover, the cards are very tightly spaced.
b. A couple of H55s with nzxt G12. This should be a good solution, but I'm a bit worried about vram/VRMs. Look at what that guy on reddit did:
This leaves the original fan/heatsink for cooling vram and vrms, and should be finer than just a custom fan that blows over them, as you would have with the G12. It looks a bit too much DIY for my tastes, though.
So, in the end I'm asking:
Thanks!

So, in the end I'm asking:
- Do you have experience with a solution based upon H55 and g12? Pros and cons to report?
- Will the stock fan included with the g12 be sufficient for cooling the parts? Is it sufficiently quiet? If not, which 92mm fan would you suggest?
- The H55 seems to be one of the few compatible 120/140mm AIOs (e.g. the h75 2018 is no longer compatible), but if you have any other suggestion, it would be welcome.
Thanks!
