I removed the original shroud and fans (aka "deshrouded" it) and replaced them withNoctua A9x14 fans – they’re incredibly quiet and do a fantastic job keeping the card cool. ZOTAC GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity – Custom Noctua Mod – Super Quiet & Cool.
Amazing card. Great value for money, even in this market. It's everything you can expect out of a 3080, fantastic performance and can max everything at 1440p and a high refreshrate monitor. The card really shines paired with a decent CPU, so don't skimp out. It is a triple fan design and as such, you can expect some howling from the fans but it keeps the GPU relatively cool.
