question. my top 980ti gets to 70 degrees and the rad, reservoir and tubes get really hot to the touch. is that normal?
 
and, what are the rubber caps you speak of?

Has the top 980Ti the only fan exhausting air? Is the air it is getting already "warm"?
Guess the rubber caps are the ones on the side of the shroud.

The rubber caps that hold the hoses in place

It definitely should not be getting hot to the touch.

It may see a little dumb, but try putting the fan on the inside, and push the air through the radiator rather than pull it through.

And, make sure your fan is actually working and it isn't pinned down or stopped.

My 980ti hybrid has got a rather annoying fan whine on the vrm's, its driving me mad, can that be RMA'd.

i can only do pull in my case if i want the rad to have the reservoir on the bottom. i even rma'd one of my hybrid kits thinking the pump was bad since i cannot touch the res for more then a second without burning my hand. when i have free time, i will swap the 2 cards and see if the problem follows the top card or if its a problem in the top spot because of heat.
 
i am confused because i had a 295x2 before this setup. and i dont ever remember the tubes, res or rad getting this hot even though it was cooling down dual GPU's and OC'd. 
 
idle temps are around:
top card = 40
bottom card = 30
 
all these temps are with noctua nf-f12 fans that are running around 70% direct from Mobo header. if i push the fans to 100% (and my side intake fan to 100%) i can get the top card down to 67 degrees. but the tubes and rad are still hot to the touch.

40 idle is definitely high for that top card. I wonder what is causing it. Would you be able to check the thermal paste when you swap them around, and make sure it has good coverage?

Are you sure it is the fan? You can definitely rma for coil whine and fan whine.

Well I'm putting together the hybrid kit on my Titan x and noticed I did not get the rubber caps **** !!! How do I go about getting these ? I bought the 980ti hybrid kit from newegg and I'm not about to take it all apart and send it back just two get another kit and hope it comes with the rubber caps !

 
I will forward this on to support and see if they can help you out.

Thanks

I got the LED shroud today and installed it
 

I never received an email about this promotion and it seems I've lost out on obtaining a free one.
Any way I can purchase the shroud for my Titan X?
Kind of sucks no emails were sent. :(
