Hi there,

Anybody mix 2 Hybrid cards, with 2 air-cooled cards, or similar? I have 2x 1080 Hybrids mixed with 2x 2080ti (blower type, 3 fans) . Any recommendations in placement?

1080 hybrid

#2

==========

#3

2080ti
1080 hybrid
1080 hybrid
2080ti
==========

Thanks!

I have 3 cards: a 1080 tI in custom water loop (with CPU in loop), a 1080 tI Hybrid, and a 780 with fan that blows out the back. The 780 is on the bottom (which is what I wanted but is also out of necessity in order to get everything to fit in my particular case).

I would go with your second option.

Also, I don't know if classic style blowers that expelled air out the back are available for the new 2080 ti's but if so, you should consider trying to get that for at least one of your air cooled cards and place the other one on the bottom.
