So I am looking at getting this card likely in March.

OR

The classified.

For me noise is a big factor so the hybrid looks like it might be the winner from what I've read

However.... It comes with 120 mm rad and fans, and I have 140mm fans throughout my case and honestly prefer the noise frequency I can hear the difference.

SO Can I change out the default installed AIO for my H90 or Kraken X41 (already owned) and a set of 140 fans?? (I Run the 140 fans from a controller so wont pull from the card.)

If I get it and it runs fine and I cant hear it, I wont touch it (save replace the stock fan) if it annoys me however I want to be able to swap out the default AIO for mine and I'd just like to know if that's possible?

Also they still warranty it right ?(provided I am not a plank and break the darn thing) - I understand EVGA allow this.

Any comments about the noise from the Classified vs hybrid would be appreciated.
 
I've already got an AIO (h90) fitted to my current r9 290 (using a g10 and 2 X 140 cougar vortex fans) just wondered if the plate for the hybrid is fixed or you can unscrew the AIO from the mounting plate and fit your own AIO?

The pictures I've seen suggest its just mounted into a plate but it's a standard aio (looks to be the H50 )

However if you link to those I'd add it to the consideration Thank you.
