ok men , the problem reside this target  is good novice, the verdaderatle exactly the target is Kingping Edition or For The Win = FTW , this is exactly and unique grafic card´s is WIN.
 
Classified is other history ,xD

I have a FTW edition. To be clear - the ACX fan design coupled with the insane heat of this card at 1401mhz threw off my case's airflow and therefore bumped up my CPU temps ~ 13 degrees(c). My gpu sits at around 65 under load.  My cpu sits at 64c under a 4 out of 8 core stress test(Tj is 70...see my dilemma?) and pushes 70 within 45mins of 8core. Prior to this card my temps were 53/62. Giving me room to overclock my AMD fx 8350to 4.75 (max temp of 69c under a 3hour stress test in prime95) with my corsair h60 (with two noctua fans)  My solution is going to be placing a noctua fan on the bottom on my case an exhaust (ACX blows down) but this won't help in SLI. Perhaps a side vent will. All in all, I should have grabbed the hybrid and overclocked it myself.

All in all, perhaps EVGA should warm people that the ACX setup dumps 100% of the cards heat into the case, requiring some sort of exhaust.

ACX does not blow down at all. Acx blows up into the card, through the fins, hits the heat plate, and then goes out of the sides. More air coming into the case instead of exhausting.

You need positive pressure not negative. Set the bottom fan as an intake, not an exhaust.

Yes, the ACX dumps heat into the case. This is known thing and has been for a long time. Try turning the fans up a little higher on the gpu's to see if you can get them a little cooler.

Already have 6 intakes {one is two noctua fans on a 120mm rad} and 2{top of my case to exhaust the rad's heaT) exhausts. My pressure is positive. 

I will try both options and benchmark em both. Thank you for letting me know that the ACX blows upward. This makes me wonder if I should re-evaluate my entire fan setup. Does the ACX suck in air from outside or from below the card? If the latter, then it makes sense to run the bottom as an intake. 
 
Again, thank you for the information.

If you are using push pull on a rad, I would personally consider it one fan rather than two.

Positive pressure is definitely a necessity for sure.

Could you post pictures of your setup and maybe we can see something that may help you out?

I did count it as one. Anyhoo, I'll see if my fan idea works and post pics if it doesn't.

Also, I'm extremely satisfied with the card overall :) Just a small gripe that is mostly due to me needing better ventilation.

Hello there, I just joined the club with a 980ti sc+, great card. May I ask, is there any "free game" for my purchase?????????
 
:p

I think you have to purchase them at the right time. For example, right now you can get the tomb raider game, but when you go the page to claim a code for it, it says that you have to have purchased your card on or after Jan 7th 2016. If you bought in between promotions you might be out of luck :(
 
 
Speaking of this topic, I'm considering getting the GTX 980 Ti HYBRID, but its out of stock right now. I'd like to get in on the tomb raider promotion and I'm considering going with the 980 (not ti) hybrid instead. Does anyone have any clue on when the Ti model will be back in stock? Also interested in opinions on performance difference if anyone out there has owned both.
 
 
Thanks!

To add onto the above message: nvidia is running the promotion, not EVGA. If you purchased it today (delivery is not the date of purchase if it was shipped), then you would ONLY be able to get the code from the place of purchase. EVGA can not and will not give a code if the gpu is purchase from anywhere else.

If ordered online, ordering from an authorized retailer is required and that retailer is the only place that will give you the code.
