**UPDATE** This was caused by using a second gpu (evga gtx 650ti boost superclocked) as a dedicated physX card.
 
so my card is doing some pretty crazy stuff. I'm using 352.86
It only does this when I turn on FXAA higher than MSAA2x
The 2nd image is ultra with TXAA2x

Ok I got my GTX 980 Hybrid in today and installed it into my Cooltek UMX-1 Plus Mini-ITX case.  Had to do some serious shoehorning to get everything to fit.  My only complaint so far is the pump on GTX 980 Hybrid isn't as quiet as I had hoped.  There is a slight clicking noise coming from it.  Gonna have to see if I can wire the pump directly into one of the motherboard PWM connectors and see if I can turn the pump speed down a tad.

I find it amazing that you got all that in there.  Very impressive.

I'm using a Kraken G10 with an X31 AIO (two each) on my SLI 780Ti's.  It's fantastic except the design of the G10 isn't optimal for VRM cooling.  I installed copper heat sinks on the VRMs and it seems to be working ok.  I would instantly buy a couple EVGA shrouds, but I don't need the cooler.  
 
The other thing to be careful about is the tubing length.  I've read here that the tubes are 14" on the AIO.  On the NZXT they are 16".  I have a NZXT Phantom 820 case, and it would be much more difficult with 14" tubing.  I have the radiators mounted on the bottom of the case, side by side and it's a fantastic setup.  The NZXT fans are also very quiet.  I just don't get why we can't get longer tubing in AIO coolers.  I suspect it's a cost saving issue since the coolers are intended for CPUs and the distance to the top of the case isn't an issue.
 
A request for EVGA.  Thinking ahead, people who watercool their GPUs will have AIOs for a very long time.  Don't force them to buy a new AIO when they get a new video card.  Sell the shrouds so we can use the AIOs we have.  Make them as generic as possible so they can fit a wide variety of GPUs.

Anyone tried using two fans on the rad for a push/pull setup? I ordered parts to do so but wanted to see if anyone had issues using a splitter off the fan power connector.

I would not use the fan cable.  Just do a push/pull from a separate direct psu source.  Otherwise you're directly draining from the card bus and fan power tends to fluctuate erratically.

Just set up one of my 980's using a pair of SP 120s from corsair off a splitter to the card and it's been fine. But I still got to put it through some hard benching to see if everything stays in sync. It only draws 1.92 watts which is less then the default fan it comes with.

Any clarification if the Hybrid Cooler will fit on the 980 Ti?

The current rumor is yes if it's a reference one. But I'd just relax till next week and wait for a real solid answer.

This is my personal opinion, but I have just about zero doubt that these cards are already done and waiting to be shipped with all of the mods already done as soon as it is officially announced.
