No they will not line up at all so throw that idea out.

Got it to register.
I accidentally had 1 too many 0's.
 

          

Well, I decided to take it apart again to see if the thermal paste was a good seat, and if I could fix the fan issue.
Well, the fan plug had worked itself out of it seating, I popped it back in and its good now (although I HAD to turn on performance mode in nvidia settings, and use PrecisionX to make the fan speed actually do anything).
 
So, here is what I have learned from this:
The Titan X is SO much slower than my 780gtx. The desktop comes up right away, the apps launch right away, with the 780gtx. With the Titan, everything is slower and hitchy, like the video card memory is overheating or something.
:(
 
So, should I still rma the card?
I think I should, since I have been having issues with it for 2-3 months now.
Or, would they send me the same card back if they dont find anything wrong with it?

OK, RMA'd.
Have had issues with this card since May, so....Yeah. RMA.
I am going to miss the memory until the new one gets here though.
The old video card only has 3gb, and gets pegged at 99% memory usage during gaming.
:(

Well, looks like the new card will be here tomorrow.
 
I have a question:
In the RMA email that EVGA sent me, it says I can purchase an EAR, and gives a link  to http://www.evga.com/support/ear/
What is EAR? Is that just the cross shipping? I didnt do that, I just did a regular shipped mine to them, and they got it and shipped me one.
 
Also, since I bought the original Titan X brand new, I have a lifetime warrenty right? Just because it had to be RMA'ed doesnt mean that lifetime warrenty is gone right?

Is that just the cross shipping?  Yes that is it.

Ummmm.
I just opened my video card box today (the RMA), and it doesnt have the rubber top for the SLI slot.
I sent my card in with that part on it and the plastic plugs in the hdmi/dp ports (which, they gave those back). (they only said NOT to send in the stuff that wasnt on the card).
How do I get the rubber sli top back?
Pretty darn bummed out that they didnt put that on. Dust will now settle in that slot.
:(

Thanks for your generosity.

Freakin great.
Now my replacement is going out.
I found out what it is at least though: The video board 'flexes' downwards (too heavy) and then it starts acting all wonky (memory issues, wont send signal to monitor, is super duper slow). I picked up the end when it wouldnt send a signal to my monitor, and picking up the end made it work. A few days before, I had cleaned up the dust, and noticed I had unhooked a fan cable, that used to kind of keep the end of the video card up (it was going around the 6-pin and 8-pin power connectors, kind of keeping the card straight without me knowing it). So, me unhooking the fan cable made the video card kind of dip down on the power hookups corner. I put the fan cable back the way it was, and now I dont have issues with signal loss anymore, but I am getting the same exact issues as before with my old card: Sometimes the computer is slow (loading the graphics), and sometimes its normal (usually ONLY when I have MSI Afterburner on).
 
Idle is 88F (31c) and it hardly EVER gets past 118F (47.7C) during gaming.
 
So, I think I know what the issue is now: The end of the card is just too heavy, and it starts bending the video board, causing all kinds of problems.
 
Should I send in for another card?
This is getting just ridiculous.
:(
If I do send in for another card, I am going to put my FULL TOWER case on its side just so the stupid video card doesnt bend and get messed up.
