Special 90-degree PCI-E power connector adapters an absolute must with this build ;-)

Another angle to show just how close the PCI-E power connectors are to the edge of the case wall.  Again, those 90-degree PCI-E power connector adapters paid for themselves.  You can buy them off eBay ;-)
 
And just for fun, my Titan XP compared to my EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid
 
I had my Titan XP temporarily residing in this system until the Hybrid arrived.  Titan XP is back in the box until next weekend when the water block and backplate get installed into the main system and I wave bye bye to my two GTX980Ti cards :D

Done with installation and the Mini ITX system up and running!

I got mine and found that the temps ran very high. Running Fallout 4 in 2560x1440 Ultra settings and I was hitting over 80c on it. Switched fan to other side to pull cool air from outside case and that had little effect. Tried stock fan and also Noctua 12F and still over 80. Plugged connector to motherboard and cranked fan to 100% and got into the mid-60's. Still not great. It seems the internal sensors just will not crank the fan up fast enough to keep the card cool. I was even getting 40-50c at idle. I don't think for a $700+ card we should have to manually crank up the rad fan every time we are going to play a game. This is essentially a gaming card and it should handle it on its own. I tried Speedfan as Jayz2cents recommended but it doesn't seem to recognize the fan rpm from my motherboard. Asus Z170-Deluxe.

Is there a way to tie in the onboard fan controller to the GPU temp to spin the fan up automatically when it gets hot? Any ideas? I'm really not impressed with these temps or maybe my card has a defective sensor. Thoughts?

Thanks

Something's not right with those temps.

For those of you who have gotten the card already, how stiff have the tubes been? I'm looking to fit one into a corsair carbide 240 which would be pretty tight like Iluv2raceit's but maybe a few mm tighter, though only a 90-ish degree bend instead. Otherwise I would have to make do with fans :(
 
Just as a quick edit: My current card is listed as 126mm (2mm less than the hybrid) and have room spare for the power connectors to move around, but I'd hate to force a tube into some terrible angles.

The tubing is very flexible and you shouldn't have any issues with the Corsair 240 case. There is definitely a lot less room to work with in my M1 NCASE, so there shouldn't be any issues for your build.

You're already using it (speedfan)
 
40-50c at idle on a hybrid though? I'd return that. Wouldn't be surprised if major manufacturing problems were the reason these took so long to ship, sounds like they still haven't fixed whatever problems there were too..

GTX1080 FTW Hybrid installation completed.  Note that a fan guard is not included - I had to add one, which is an excellent idea should you install the radiator into a small form factor.  If not for the fan guard, my cabling inside this tiny case would prevent the radiator fan from spinning.

Nice build. Must have been a **** to get that card in there. Great job. How does she run?

Something is not right with that card. The pump might not be running. Those are temps for an air cooled card. I would RMA it.
 
For reference my Sea Hawk card idles at about 29C or 30C and at full load runs at around 50C, sometimes a little higher with more intensive games like The Witcher 3. And keep in mind I'm not cranking up my fan to keep it cooler either.
