I'm planning a single 1080 Ti build and want it to be as quiet as possible without custom water cooling. (I don't have the time or skills to be doing w/c.)
I had a really bad experience with a very noisy gfx in my last rig - I could hardly bring myself to use it. So I'm wary of my choice this time round. Was thinking of just going on air (no overclock) with a massive beQuiet CPU cooler and "silent" case, but couldn't decide on the graphics card.
Then I saw that Corsair have a card that is basically a pre-assembled MSI GTX 1080 Ti cooled with a CORSAIR HYDRO Series H55. I'd be interested to know if anyone has any experience with this card. And also is there any annoying pump noise with these closed-loop w/c systems (I have zero experience with them)? It seems bloody expensive but for a quiet system it might be worth it.
Any input greatly appreciated!
