Hey everyone.

I just purchased two evga 1080 hybrid cards. I have a cooler master haf x case. Im trying to come up with ideas on where to mount the second radiator on the second gpu. The top gpu raditor will be mounted in push/pull on the rear top exit fan. I'm having trouble figuring out where and how to mount the second radiator for effective cooling. I was thinking maybe the unused pci brackets by purchasing a 120mm size fan adapter that would just bolt right into the pci spaces but I cant seem to find anyone that makes that specific adapter. I was also thinking that maybe the holes in the stock pci brackets that come with the case may fit the screws to mount through the pull fan and to the radiator. Anyone have this issue and figure it out? Pictures or links to solutions really anything would be appreciates!

    Is there a place in front for both radiators to be mounted? If yes put both of them up front, if no, then 1 upfront 1 from back, looks ghetto but it will work, if the tubes are long enought to reach the front mounts.
    Example:

    Hey everyone.

    I just purchased two evga 1080 hybrid cards. I have a cooler master haf x case. .................



    It'd be cool (excuse the pun) if you'd post a pic of how your case is currently configured.  I looked at it on Cooler Master's website but it didn't show much. My first thought was to mount them both in the top if there is room. 

    Asus Formula VIII, i7-6700k, Tt Riing 360 AIO, 16GB Corsair Dom/Plat 3K,
    EVGA GTX 1080 ACX 3.0 (6181), SS 850 Pro 512, 2xWD Blk 2TB, EVGA P2 1000w,
    Dual Boot Win7Pro64 /Win10Pro, Tt Core X-9, SS2693HM 1900x1200, Fuzzy Dice

    6181-KR Step-Up began 29 June, queue hit 29 Aug = 62 days
    RMA 980Ti SC+ to EVGA 31 Aug. Recvd by EVGA 10:41 am 2 Sep
    UPS track # issued 8 Sep - delivered 13 Sep 2:54 PM EST
    HYBRID AIO 400-HY-5188-B1 Ordered 8 July - Recvd 15 July

    EVGA 780i, E8400, 8GB OCZ (4x2), XPpro/Vista64
    EVGA 8800 GTS G92 512 SLI (2), OCZ900MXS PS

    lead, follow, or get out of the way

    Ok i see what they did there. Looks like they eliminated or changed direction of the from 230mm fan. I was hoping to keep that as intake. That does look nice tho. Thanks for the reply!

    Its a blank canvas haha, nothing in it yet not even out of the box. Im just doing some planning i have more parts to purchase before i build. I will have a corsair H115i cpu cooler mounted in push/pull under the top two 200mm exit fans. Thanks for the reply!

    All 8 Fans in the Front a Pulling in Cool Air into the Case, same for the Bottom Fan.
    The Rear 2 Fans are also Pulling in Cool Air into the Case.
    The 2 Top Fans are Pull Air out the Top and the 2 Graphics Cards are pushing Air out the Rear of the Case.

    I havent opened the box yet but tried to find the instructions online and couldnt seem to find them for my cards. Whats the reasoning behind this? In your picture im assuming thats your setup? Does your card work fine being mounted in the lower front? Thanks again!

    When I opened mine it now has a slip that tells us this.
    When I installed my GTX 980 Hybrids the box did not have this slip as far as I can remember.
    But the problem was Pump Noise it what may have made this change.
