Yeah its mounted as a rear exhaust with hoses at the bottom. TBH though i've tired it in every orientation and direction and the pump buzzing doesn't stop

Yeah bro, unfortunately an RMA is your best option.

Bottom line: if you're not happy with the noise, then RMA. If you can live with the noise and temps are ~50C and below, you're fine.

Your comment does not exaclty help at all here but I won't turn this into a flame thread. Instead you could help us by telling us if your pump makes any noise or if it's silent.

As someone else stated is not that simple , I myself dont mind some noise but I prefer a nice smooth air sound than a buzzing noise. Again I purchased this kit because they claim to be cooler (and they are ) and very quiet

Not exactly that straight forward. I don't want the hassle of 2 RMA's if they all make that noise, as in that case I'll return it and get something else

They don't all make that noise, a small minority do. I can tell you I have 2 and neither makes any noise.

I'm not trying to be a pain here, but we've established that these cards run cool and quiet. If a particular one doesn't either the owner fixes it, lives with it, or RMA's it. This goes back to the OP's post.

I have RMA'd my 980 Ti Hybrid.
 
I will let you guys know what the replacement is like. Fingers crossed!

Well I got my new Hybrid 2 days ago and it's silent
 
Interestingly this one boosts higher than the other one too.  Striaght out of the box it goes up to 1366Mhz and if I increase voltage to 1.22 it boosts to 1402Mhz but I hit the 110% power limit often so I might be flashing a new bios soon to stop that happening.
 
Anyway glad I did the RMA. If anyone else is reading this because your pump buzzes then get the card replaced!
 
Also I have to say dealing with EVGA was so easy, first time I had to deal with their tech support and RMA team but it was a breeze
Always good to know support is there if I need it from a company, will make me want to by from EVGA again.
 
 

hello, sorry for my very bad english , i like a silent pc, but my evga hybrid pump was very noisy, buzzy. i made some reasearch and the pump only have 2 wire and too control the pump via motherboard i need rpm check, because if you plug the pump directly to the MB fan header the pump will run at max, i renove the plastic cover of the pump and see only 2 wires but a solder point for the rpm, just solder a wire on it and i can control the pump via mb. and i make the pump running always at 1500rpm and now is dead silent, the fan are directly connect to 12v psu, they run always at max 1200rpm and very silent, my temp have decrease about 10 dg, and run at 1500 mhz at 40/41 dg playing battlefield 4 at max

Very interesting to know that.
 
Now EVGA need to put Corsair AIO on their cards. 
 

Any of the round bodied Corsair AIO's are the same make (Asetek) as the hybrid pump, so they already do this.

I had read that as well, but it can't always be done. Take that first picture, for instance -- if the card were an EVGA Hybrid, the tubes would terminate at the bottom of the radiator all of 1" away. I don't think they can bend that extremely, and even if they could they would protrude so far as to stop you from closing your case.

For anyone who is curious, EVGA has confirmed that the above modification will void the warranty. It is not clear if they mean the card's warranty or the hyrbid cooler's warranty. Regardless, proceed with caution and prepare to accept the consequences.

Buzzing noise for me, too. Very annoying. I'm thinking of making a custom loop for just GPU...
