What are the chances of custom water cooling may go wrong? I must know because this is the last chance of saving my gtx 1070.

4 possible options.
1) order new fans, fix the gpu, replace ALL the fans, not just the dead one.
2) RMA through the place you bought it from, that depends on their warranty period.
3) Manufacture RMA if it's still valid.
4) call a local repair shop and pay through the nose to have any work done. More than likely a 30 day shop warranty against their repairs and labour.

But that boils down to 1 option, get the fans fixed or burn up the gpu.
Your chances are somewhere between 1% and 100%
There is actually no possible to way to tell you what your failure rate will be. Even if you know what chance it was, it could happen tomorrow or 10 years from now.

What do you mean saving your 1070?

Yes my ONE fan spins ok and 2 to 3 days ago, and that is when my fan started to make a noise

Replace that fan. Sounds like you have a bad bearing in it. Also, you really need to check your thermal paste... Rather, you need to double check that you applied it. It sounds to me like you forgot. I would suggest draining the loop and double checking everything.

I'm assuming that you didn't have this heat issue before you put your custom loop in? Is the loop connected to just your CPU? Or are you water cooling both the CPU and the 1070?

Let me know if you have any other questions.
