Hybrid 1080's?

(Reposting because I accidentally posted this in the CPU Motherboards and Ram thread, my bad lol)

I am using the NZXT Manta, which has very little airflow room for the gpu fans (About 12mm I would say), and right now my 1060 3gb is maxing out at 70^o at 13%-20% usage in Team fortress 2 (usually never dipping below 100fps). I was looking at a few hybrid 1080's for my next gpu upgrade, since the Manta has so little airflow for gpu's. How well do these work in your cases? Should I even bother purchasing one, or would i be better off with an air cooled 1080?

They work well, but make sure you have enough room for the radiator for the gpu, as it would more then likely go to the exhaust fan.

I have used the previous 2 generations of hybrids in SLI (980s and 1080s).  Without hybrids I would run pretty warm at idle.. and 85c at full load.  With hybrids they idle at 25-28c and never go about 35c at full load.

 

Well worth the investment if you don't want to fool around with custom loops.
