Thought about that too. Honestly the improvement is 100% worth it anyway but I'll keep the original fans and shroud so I can swap them if I ever sell the card
I bought 2 adapters from EK Water Block on caseking. Might be a bit more expensive then some options on amazon but with EK I know I have a product from a reputable brand. Here is the link to caseking: https://www.caseking.de/ek-water-blocks-ek-cable-pwm-fan-adapter-fuer-gpu-50cm-waek-1347.html?flxSmartSuggest=1
The push the air on the card, like normal GPU fans also do
Just got a reply from Arctic via Twitter and they said that the new revision of the black P12 max also use a fluid dynamic bearing. Idk how to make sure you get the new revision though
Don't wanna be that guy but I'm a German so I have to ruin the fun: We don't call it "Antibabypille". "die Pille" is what most people just call it
The max fans are great. The black one has been out for a while now with a lot of positive reviews but it uses ball bearings which have a tendency to be a bit louder (it's still incredible given its price. See reviews) The white one was just recently released and Arctic gave it an upgrade with a fluid dynamic bearing, further reducing the noise during low rpm
I got a GPU fan to normal pwm case fan adapter. There are a lot on amazon but I cant guarantee their quality. I ordered 2 adapters from EK Water Blocks on caseking. With 4,90€ per adapter they might be more expensive than some options on Amazon but with EK Water Blocks I know I have an adapter from a reputable brand
Anyone know what I can do with the old fans and shroud haha 
Idle temps are down about 10°C (probably also because the new fans dont completely stop spinning even on 0% for some reason. But you cant hear them at all so idc). In Furmark temp is down 4°C while being inaudible now. Keep in mind I havent changed the fan curve at all and it was tuned to be as quite as possible with the OG fans. Resulted in higher temps in the past but I just wanted to keep those OG fans as low spinning as possible because they were really loud at higher rpm. Oh and this mod is a rather common one. Usually with noctua fans though, which is why its called a noctua fan mod. But Arctic is way less expensive and their P12 Max fans are incredibly impressive
Edit: In games in might be an even bigger improvement temp wise. Noise wise its like night and day. I cant even hear the GPU fans anymore. I can hear the coil wine better than my fans now lol
The noise. I use open back headphones and even though its possible to ignore the noise when you have in-game sounds, it still bothered me whenever there was a quite scene, or I didnt use my headphones and I just didnt like my room to sound like a jet engine in general. So yeah the noise is why I replaced them
Tun sie auch. Die DB ist operativ eigentlich ein ganz guter Betreiber. Halt eben nur auf maroder Infrastruktur. Nur hilft die Planung eben auch nicht viel, wenn Züge dann über andere Strecken umgeleitet werden, die auch schon stark genutzt sind, wodurch es wieder einfacher zur Verspätung kommen kann
