you're not going to get close to a custom water cooled loop on air.  however, you can get close to the best AIO water coolers with the best air coolers available.  the Noctua D14/15 units are among the best and biggest.  look to augment the stock case cooling as well with better/more case fans.  the cooler on the 1080 expels heat out of the case via the rear I/O area.  DS can certainly accomplish a tolerable, thermally efficient air cooled system.  it just won't be as cool as the best custom water loop can be.Big%20Smile

where does noise fall on the thermal performance to noise ratio?  an open case like the Velox is bound to be noisier than a closed case like the Corsair Carbide 400Q, however you'll get better air cooling out of the Velox.
