Alright, so for "reasons" I finally gave in trying to mod the cooler on this card and replaced it outright with a Raijintek Morpehus II. Basically I got a case that is much more open than the previous one and suddently 92mm fans running at 1200 rpm were quite noticeable. Here's a bit of info...

That's a new one, PSU coil whine from replacing GPU fans. Sounds like a defective PSU to me, that might just not have been as obvious to you before?

If you mean between the fans and the heatsink, I don't see why not. Just be aware that the thicker your insulator material, the bigger the gap between the fans and the heatsink, and the more air pressure on the heatsink you will lose.

Anyone have more results to share? Curious about other approaches too.

You absolutely could do that. For me the AIO cooler pipes are too short to reach the rear exhaust fan mount though, so it wouldn't work without modding anyway. And you would have to deal with the VRMs separately. And it would be overall more expensive. Besides water coolers only really move the...

Your results with that might not be so good. You basically have to plan in a way that the air enters the case on one side of the components you want to cool, and exits on the other side. If you do one intake and one exchaust next to eachother, they'll more likely just loop the air between then...

Well I'm glad it was useful - at least for inspiration. I had fun doing it was the main point ;) It's actually still just tied together with cotton string and twisties - it worked, so why bother. As for vibration, there is none. Whatsoever - even if I jack them up to max speed. I had some small...

McGyver is probably right :p I warned it isn't pretty, but after a few weeks of running it, it is SO much better than the stock setup. It's much cooler and whisper quiet. The stock fans are LOUD when they go over 12-1300 RPM. It does require some flow in the case, though, as the removed shroud...

Well, I was super annoyed by the fan noise on this card too, so I replaced them with Noctua Redux 92's. It's now basically silent whether idle or under load, fan speed is down by 4-500 RPM under load and temps are down by about 8-10C under normal gaming load. It doesn't look pretty, but I really...
