Why not, Cuc? I read if I picked up the hybrid card, I should replace the stock fan with a Noctua NF-F12 industrialPPC-3000 PWM 109.9 CFM 120mm Fan. Anyone have experience with this fan? I hear it's on the louder side and I'm going for most power with least noise.
Any recs?

Yeah that's a high static pressure fan. That's what you want on radiators. Running at 100% it's going to be loud (spoiler: most fans are). The key is stepping it down. Note the card still has a blower fan on it.. so it's twice the fans. You'll probably be able to set fan profiles to keep them silent while underload and maintain decent temps.
I didn't look at the price of the hybrid card; they used to be $150-200 more.. at that point, just build a real fuckin' loop.
Though the card you linked looks like it's like $50 more so.. go for it.
