I hope my 1070ti can chug along for another five years...

    If by chug along you mean just live and allow you to browse and play some light 2D games - yeah, probably. For anything else bad news for you, not even Nvidia is going to update drivers for it anymore. I survived on 980 for over 10 years until the fan bearings died.

    You could just rip off the shroud and strap some Noctua fans onto it with zip ties. Cyberpunk as fuck.

    With the price of Noctua fans you might as well just get another 980 or any other budget/old GPU that's even better. Some old hardware is simply not worth repairing, especially when software support is also non existent at this point.
