GTX 1080 blower style card with back plate

[Sakib]

Is there a blower style GTX 1080 with back plate apart from the founders edition?

MSI seahawk

FE would be one of the better blower cards. Quiet at load if you don't mind it being a toasty 70C.

Yeah, its an MSI Aero with a 120mm AIO.  I'm pretty sure both have back plates but I know the sea hawk has one.

You could always buy one without a backplate and buy a custom one from a site like V1 tech. If you dont like the idea, Im not sure if the MSI aero has a backplate

Best for op is to get a blower card they like and get a custom backplate or buy msi Seahawk and cut the tubing

D: no don't cut tubing! Then OP would also need a new heatsink for main components.  I'd just screw it on as an exhaust and call it a day

It's actually true. If you're putting the card into a 4U, 3U, 2U (if you can find one), or small enclosure, they don't get hot since they are benefiting from the tight space of said enclosure.

That's not quite what I was getting at, lol

 

Let's just say - I wish blower cards can hit 70c with a quiet fan speed at load.

Exactly what I am going to do. The 1080 goes inside an NCase M1. Should stick with the founders edition?

With the GPU clearance, I would. If you ever want to water-cool, it looks like the case supports it.
