DONE!!! You are the man for sharing this with the community!!!
I have non-Ti version of your card, ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING. I ran the same benchmarks you did with the same program. Set to "ExtremeHD" minus AA. Prior to alteration max temp, on OC mode (2088MHz), was 77c. Its also noted that I had two EXT fans plugged in drawing out the heat from above. In the alteration I used two Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans I had left over from when I built my custom chassis. After alteration, i love the zipties, max temp only reached 65c. WTF?!?! HELLS YEAH!!! 80% and i can barely hear them.
Instead of running the new fans through the bios or Fan Xpert4 (Asus software), I just plugged them into the two EXT ports on the side of my GTX1080. I control them through Asus GPU TweakII software.
Funny sht...the wife said I was doin some redneck mods, lmfao.
