I figured out that having my ROG Swift at 144Hz had my 980Ti close to 80 degrees just for browsing the internet. Had to drop the monitor to 60Hz and am not liking it. 

e29gr8t - That's definitely not right man. Something's up with your card or system. I'm running a 980 with my ROG Swift at 144Hz until my Ti's come in and I never get above 40 C while not playing a game. Do you have EVGA precision or the like installed to control your fans?

Already setup a new rig with new case, new motherboard, new CPU, new CPU watercooler, but... the Hybrid is still nowhere to be seen. I am SAD.

Any word on when the classified hydrocopper and/or the K|NGP|N versions of the 980 Ti will be out? I'm hording my money/gold/credits to buy a few to SLI.

I know how you feel, I have £1000 ready to spend on titan x hybrid.

Calling all 980 ti owners/ future owners! Need help in this forum

Thank you guys :)

Got an e-mail from Amazon saying they will have stock for the 980 ti Hybrid cooler kit on 7th July. But I cancelled the order because I already ordered 2x 980 Ti Hybrids from a local shop, but sux because I don't know when they will have them.
 
EDIT: Well I just found another local dealer who actually have stock of the 980 Ti Hybrid, but they are price gouging like krazy +$150 compared to other sellers who don't have stock:

BTW AU prices.

so what is the rpm of the fans on a GTX 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ , the 4991 version
when running at stock speeds (no overclock)  under load ? roughly
thanks in advance

Check your fan profiles.

This is seriously frustrating... Why don't they do a loyal customer pre-order like they did for the last Kingpin?
