Great replacement fans at a reasonable price

I'm having trouble with my Asus GTX 1080 Strix graphics card after ca The last fan was the only fully functional one. I ordered these replacement fans and they arrived very quickly, just one day delivery. I ordered all three and swapped all three, the first two fans didn't have a good reputation so I swapped the only working fan and also as a precaution as it was already old. The box the fans came in was also a pretty handy tool for keeping track of the screws I removed. I recommend watching some youtube videos of the process as you will need to separate the heatsink from the rest of the graphics card. The process was easy, just take the necessary precautions. The only issue I had was that the fan cables were a bit longer than needed, but that was fixed with some bending and some tape. All this fits snugly under the case, so there are no particular problems. Another thing I did was take the opportunity to replace the thermal paste on my GPU as it was already old and hardened. I also recommend doing this if your GPU is more than 3-4 years old if you are willing and able. After installing new fans and replacing the thermal paste, the idle temperature rose from 58°C to 44°C with the fans constantly on and from 58°C to 53°C with the 0dB fan on. My temperature under full load also increased from 75-80°C to 60-63°C. Overall I'm happy with the improvements, great product.
