I had the same issue when I decided to upgrade my GPU. Every place was sold out of the founders edition so ended up settling for a ASUS GTX 1080 TI Turbo edition - this was over a month ago.
My experience with it so far: it runs fine (touch wood), temps are very good but no getting the same performance as a proper FE - about 5% lower benchmark. I've had it running for 24 to 48 hours with a day or 2 break in between with no issues. While I can't comment on the noise level from the FE, this one is loud. At 90% fan speed, it runs in the low 60's but is extremely loud.
I'd do as epixoip suggested and wait it out if you can.
If not you can try using the above although I might've just gotten lucky.
