Question about the Base Graphics Card that is used in the EVGA GeForce GTX 980 HYBRID.
I see this on 3dMarks Web Site "Graphics card is not recognized"
http://www.3dmark.com/3dm11/9673191 & http://www.3dmark.com/fs/4550850 show Generic VGA(1x)
If it was the Reference Card then I would think that 3dMarks would recognize it.
Thank you for any information.

I think, and could be wrong, that they need to update the part number for the card itself in the records. I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure they add that in for the validation part,just like gpuz would give you.

Thanks I will see what GPUz Shows

Some new GeForce GTX 980 HYBRID Benchmark Scores 3DMark Fire Strike:  13,076  3DMark 11:  17,355
After adding a second fan in Push/Pull Air intake in the front and out the back of the computer case Temperatures never hit 40C. Next to Fold on them to see how hot they get, good way to burn-in a GPU.

Any update on availability of the 980 hybrid?

Thanks.

I have bought the upgrade version for my reference GTX980. The quality is great and thanks to wise VRM/MEM cooling solution it even imporved memory overclocking capabilities for my card (7600->8000 MHz). But unfortunately the pump is quite noisy, it is the loudest part of my PC at idle. I'm thinking about buying "4-Pin PWM to 4-Pin GPU Connector" to lower the voltage of the pump via motherboard bios or speed controller. I know some of the AIOs designed by Asetek support variable pump speed (e.g. NZXT Kraken Xx1 series) but for example Corsair strongly recommends to connect their AIOs to 12V. So my question is: is it safe for EVGA Hybrid Watercooler?

Ok results are in for my 3x Titan X’s AIOs:

Setup:

3x Stock Nvidia Titan X’s with stock BIOS with EVGA 980 All-In-One liquid coolers

Case/Cooling: Caselabs Mercury S8. 7 intake fans. 6 exhaust fans (room for 1 more exhaust)

Fans: All Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions running at the static full speed of 1,450RPM 23dBA

GPU Fan speed: Lowest possible setting (22% around 1050RPM)

GPU setup: Sandwich stacked

Overclock: +225Mhz on all 3 cards (1440Mhz speed)

Highest temperature rating running intense GPU benchmarks: 60C (Probably 50C in games)

I couldn’t find anything to measure GPU VRM & Memory temp unless someone can point me in the right direction

If this was Tri-SLI sandwich stacked on air, the GPU fans would probably be running at 100% at a full 5800RPM and would probably be reaching 90C+ and throttling. Plus 100x louder.

Yes I have room for 1 more AIO Titan X & a slot at the top to put the radiator but I don’t think I’ll need it! (at least just yet)

My biggest complaint is the motors make an annoying buzzing sound. I am VERY familiar with the problems all the Corsair CPU AIOs have and this isn’t any of them. This isn’t the sound of air trapped inside nor the sound of the pump getting too much voltage leading to a ticking sound. It’s the same sound as a wire slightly touching one of your case fans or something. My suspicion is maybe the pump is getting too much voltage or this is just how they are. I have to run a voltage regulator on my Corsair CPU AIO H105 so it doesn’t make a horrible grinding/ticketing sound. This might be happening because the Titan X’s fan the pump leeches off of may have more amps than the 980s and this pump was made for the 980 so that MAY be the cause but again unsure. When I just had one of these running, my fans running at 725RPM would cover up the sound. Having 3 of these now the buzzing sound grows. Now I can still SLIGHTLY hear it even when my fans are at full 1,450 RPM. Again not a big deal because I can’t hear it at all when playing games or there’s some type of background noise. Only in a quiet room with just my computer running I can hear the motors.

These AIOs perform in both performance and sound exactly where it should. Between air cooling and full water cooling. I am happy with the purchase but I wish it didn’t have the buzzing sound. I may get a single Titan X AIO if EVGA ever comes out with one to see if the buzzing goes away. I don’t think I can mod the voltage to the pump since it uses a weird small 4 pin connector that the GPU fan uses.

It’s not pretty but it’s functional! I stopped caring how the inside of my case looked a few years ago when I realized I was spending more time building my computers than actually using them. No window on my case. I recommend everyone try to do the same. It’s like a weight has been lifted off your shoulders.

That is a nice looking Image you have. Though it might need a little cable management.
 
"My biggest complaint is the motors make an annoying buzzing sound" I only heard that for about 10 minutes and after that nothing.

I ordered the gtx980 hybrid from overclockers.uk and it was meant tobe in stock on the 10th. As you can see its past that date now and i rang them and asked what was going on, they stated it was evga's fault. Now im finding this hard to believe, so im wondering if anyone from evga can comment on this, because to date i have never known evga not to deliver to companys when they say they will. Because and dont ask me why, but i have a sinking feeling that something is amiss here.

nice desing!
