Thank you so much for doing this video Steve! This literally saved tons of $$$ for me. I was able to get the stock cooler back on my FTW Hybrid after taking the EKWB block off of it. I upgraded to 1080Ti's and I didnt remember how the cooler went on. Life saver.
Are you guys going to be doing the Gigabyte GTX 1080 Waterforce tear-down?
Umm... Please check your info on the alleged "pull" airflow orientation on that EVGA fan (on the graphics card shroud, not the 120mm on the radiator). On all the regular air-cooled models with the "ACX 3.0" fans, those are *back-swept blades*. This has been well-argued since the ACX 3.0 naming was introduced by EVGA. Many folks were griping because the fans *appeared* to be in pull orientation (presumably less efficient in a graphics card shroud), under the assumption that computer fan blades generally are/have been always "forward swept". They missed the part where EVGA specifically made their new generation of graphics card fans "back swept" (similar to recent developments in turbine-engine aircraft propellers), because among other things, they supposedly make less noise that way.
I don't know anything about the EVGA 1080 hybrid specifically, so I could be wrong. I'm just saying it LOOKS like one of those same "ACX 3.0" fans from the air-cooled line, which would make it incomprehensible that it would be running "backwards" from how those new ones were specifically designed.
I can second that. Jayztwocents said so when the ACX 3.0 was first revealed (around the time when Pascal launched around the Texas event? I think that was in a GTX 1080 video he did): those are push fans, the same as everybody else.
And that actually hasn't changed from ACX 2.0: they were back-swept blades too. AIB GPU fans usually spin anti-clockwise when looking from the front.
You have my genuine thanks for these videos, Steve. Your work is very helpful to myself and many others. Keep up the great work.
I remember watching this video shortly after I bought mine. I still have it, and the idle temps are still around room temperature. It'd be nice to upgrade to a 3080, but that won't be happening for some time. This has me thinking about redoing the thermal paste though
Hey Steve great video as usual. I usually use coffee filters with the alcohol to remove the thermal paste. Tends to eliminate the cling ons and gets nice and clean. Always look forward to every new video you post.
Thank you .. This helped re-applying Thermal Paste for my +90°C Hybrid, its now on ~ 30°C :)
I'm watching you Steve, no slipping this time XD congrats from Österreich.
Getting better!
Gamers Nexus hi
For anyone finding this in 2020, I have this card and it is still going strong, no issues with the CLC.
Got one for 250
@@ro_blex8513 buying one used this week for 250 also locally. Good enough for 1440p gaming I think.
Steve i'm pretty sure the fan blows down onto the vrm heatsink even though the fan blade layout looks like it is sucking.
Correction. You stated the fan is "inverted" and pulls air away from the VRM heatsink, it does not. It's a swept back type of fan that blows down onto the heatsink. It's an unusual design choice by EVGA. Only commenting as I'm about to do a mod on this card and replace the stock fan with a Noctua 92mm.
9:29 WRONG: The fan has swept blades and spins counter clockwise... it blows air onto the heatsinks and out the card's vent slots in the back of the card's shroud. it's not like a standard fan where the blades scoop the air and the direction easy to tell by looking at them.
looking at this tear down made me more curious about the results compared to the "sea hawk" card
I know, old vid, probably not commented or checked anymore. What if you took say, a 280mm radiator from an H115i and put it on this pump? Or, combined both of them in their own little custom loop with two rads? Will the pump overfeed the other? Will it be bad results? Steve, test this out sometime in future?
still have mine nearly 8 years later zero issues been repasted a few times over the years but will probably upgrade to the rtx 5080 when that comes out
That's one nice VRM :D
what would happen if you covered basically everything with thermal pads on both sides of the board? all chips, capacitors everything???
Does this card suffer from the VRM issue as of late since its the FTW PCB? since the heat sink is covering the VRAM. i was curious. Thanks again in advance.
is it possible to just buy that corsair cooler? Which model is that? I just purchased a arctic accellero hybrid but i'd rather have corsair.
I just recently got a GTX 1080 FTW Hybrid and I was wondering what kind of acoustic noises you guys heard while running this in windows as well as when running a game? Do you hear the pump? What kind of sound does the pump sound like? I would like to know since I am not sure if I hear the pump as well as a little bit of coil whine.
Just got mine the other day and was extremely upset at first. The pump made a loud hum and whine. But I had a breakthrough thanks to this video. At 10:53 he mentions that the pwm for the pump and fan are tied together. I went into EVGA Precision X and turned up the fan speed just a little bit and the hum completely went away. Turning up the pump actually makes it quieter but also makes the fan louder. Just use the slider and find a happy medium. I setup a custom fan curve so that the pump/fan runs at 65% up until the card hits 50c, at which point it slowly ramps up to 80% at 60c. This method greatly reduced sound output and brought temps down a good bit as well.
Pump does 'whine' a bit. Fixable (Steve says how to in a few of his videos) but it does take a bit of effort.
HEY GN, please watch the corsair video of the Seahawk, they've shown the other watercooling-copper-plate!
What tool kit are you using there chief??
Does the hard sli bridge work with the air cooled ftw 1080 and the hybrid? I may buy an air cooled now and later add a hybrid to sli. Will they work?
not bashing Steve at all here but i like using coffee filters to remove thermal paste. It doesn't leave any lint or other material after wiping the compound off.
coffee filters? senseo master race^^
+lokdabest yup haha. they work well!
Can you replace it with like a 240mm or 280mm AIO
Hello, can I ask, I can buy the evga GTX 1070 FTW Gaming ACX 3.0 graphics card. It has faults?
I don't think its pulling air off the VRM it's still blowing down the same as those ACX fans are on other EVGA GPUs
where did you get that tool kit with the wood case?
Hey dude. Would you be able to change the stock 120 cooler for a 240/280 cooler? if so what brands would fit? cheers
Can you change the coolant in this unit? Can the hoses come off or would you remove the copper plates from the pump to drain/fill it?
You usually can remove the hoses with a lot of pulling.
When is the EVGA Hybrid coming out?
The gpu portion of the VRM is a 5 phase that is doubled.
could you do a laptop tear-down on the future that would be amazing!!
so If I understood this video correctly then you could theoretically replace that evga cooler with one by corsair that is cue compatible.
How about the noise? Any details on that?
is that blower cooler on the hybrid even useful? its vram is already being cooled.
VRM cooling
MrSlehofer vrm?
Anti Master Voltage Regulator Module :) thing that powers GPU, that black heatsink under the fan cools them
MrSlehofer oh. so the extra blower cooler effectively increases the lifespan of the gpu by cooling other components too?
Anti Master yes exactly
Sweetness.. Your hair is like a shining dark horse!
love these videos.
the fan blades on the evga board are inverted so does it blow out the big hole on the plate or suck and exhaust out the back like a blower style?
I really wanna know this too. but all i could say is when you look at the top of it where the fan is and it turns counter clock wise then it will blow air to the heatsink or in short terms. act like the blower model. but if it turns clock wise then it will suck air from the heatsink and blow it out from the fan. hopefully i didn't make any mistakes here (if i did please correct me)
My bro got one from ebay and the pump was not working.. had to find where the fan socket is.! Had to return though./
Mine started leaking…any recommendations?
Get your hands on the Zotac AMP Extreme 1080.Its the biggest cooler on a GPU.
I have that same card, does battlefront ultra 4k60ish and under 65c on default fan curve!
+THE AMERICAN PATRIOT yea mine will be showing up next week i cant wait.I got a rog swift 165hz
+THE AMERICAN PATRIOT did u oc it?
Lukeyboy no the pascal cards have GPU boost 3.0 which overclocks it well past 2.05ghz. These cards don't seem to gain much from OCing.
you have a really nice tool set
Thanks! We're linking them in the description these days.
Sorry for the delayed comment, but can anybody tell me if the logo is flipable? Bought a reverse case (600c).
I love these tear downs but considering I am trying to snipe 2 of these on evga's website it hurts to watch...
we get it! the cold plate on a gpu cooler needs to be flat! WE GET it! you don't have to say it 13 times a video anymore
lol hey, the toolkit link in the description below now a link for "3D Fiber Lash Mascara" and it the mascara is Currently unavailable.
the content you provide is exelent but you should consider hiring a MC to do the presentation.
I have a Gigabyte waterforce if you wanna review it?
If you're serious and have a GTX 1080/Pascal model, please reach-out to me via email. Info here: www.gamersnexus.net/supportgn/1200-contact-us
Thanks! ^SB
What screwdriver do you use?
Linked in the description! Unless you mean the yellow one, in which case that's this: bit.ly/2bDbe7J
Awesome thanks
can i use the ftw hybrid and replace the aio with a 280mm corsair aio or will it not fit?
The way Radeon Pro Duo cools it's vram and vrms are way more cohesive, the hole loop covers them. This one, while has its ingenuity, has limits.

Same could be said for the Fury X, to some extent -- but we do not have a Pro Duo for tear-down, sadly!
Well, I hope someone is brave enough to lend you one.
9:45 ddr5x?!? isn't it a 1080 and not the founders,, I thought the 1080 came with ddr5,, and the founders came with X
First: Note that "DDR5" is not the same as GDDR5.
All GTX 1080s use GDDR5X.
+Gamers Nexus ohhhhhh great video and thanks, keep up the great work
So what you're trying to say is the copper baseplate is flat? Kappa
Not all coldplates are flat. There is a slight, unseen curvature that accommodates the CPU IHS on CPU CLCs like the H55 used on the Sea Hawk, but this generation flattened the plate to improve conductivity with the flat GPU silicon.
Oh I know, I was poking fun at how often you mention it haha. Very good video and interesting copper plate on the VRMs
Believe me -- it's starting to feel pretty frequent. I think people are finally starting to understand, though! :)
hey thats pretty fast
i guess murdering that titan x was not enough, lel :)
it's sad to see all that over engineering.
The card is lock by nvidia, and voltage don't really matter for non LN2 oc.
If you don't flash the bios, all this is useless :s
But if on a titan X it's perfect.
$1100 vid card --- ouchy
First like!
