My gaming x 1080 does pretty well with a stock fan but you are making me think to go the liquid route. Are you running a Corsair cooler?

The fan thing was the initial rumor for the reason of the high temps, but last I read it has been debunked. The last I saw was that people were saying they used the fan/heat sink from the regular 1080 on the Ti Armor. Which is not adequate at all.
I quit looking into it once I went with the liquid cooling.
I'm running the corsair 280 cooler for the CPU and a Thermaltake 240 for the GPU. The NZXT GPU adapter requires a round heatsink/pump and I couldn't source a corsair locally that would work since corsair has gone with the square heat sink/pump on their new models.
If your stock fans provides adequate cooling (without being too loud) and you don't want to OC the card high then it's not worth it. My setup allows me to run 9 (PSU fan is the 9th) fans total with very low noise.
