Something's off.  A gpu with a AIO loop should NOT be breaking 55 Deg C unless you're running furmark on it or have it OC'd to 2150 to 2200.  RMA and replace.

Nice combination. That setup is going to be awesome.
 
I have the same Enthoo case, just not the full glass door version. It's a really nice case. I assume you are going to mount the EK rad up on top? And the Hybrid rad on the back? 
 
You have to post pictures when you're done with the build. And I'm curious to hear about the Corsair ML fans too.

Indeed, I can't wait! And yes the EK 360 will be installed on top and the Hybrid on back, but I have to see in person if everything will fit okay if not I will have to figure out another way for the setup :) And I will post pictures once I have my parts, but that will not be for a couple of months and hopefully when I have enough to buy everything in one go most of the parts should be cheaper by then too 
 
I already have my case it looks amazing, I was originally going for the standard version, but when I noticed the glass version is only a bit more expensive I thought why not? Plus, I got is cheap anyway, it's a super solid case love everything about it!

I love how the case has the slide out bracket for the radiator so you can install it on the outside and then fit it back in. You might have a slight problem mounting the Hybrid on the rear of that case. My setup has a Corsair H100i V2(240mm) and a Sea Hawk rad(120mm) all mounting up top and it's very very close to the rear fan. I don't think you will fit it there based on what I see on my case.
 
You can always mount that EK rad up front too.

Yeah, if you check it out here you can see, you can't fit a back fan on it with the EK 360

Here is a picture instead 

 
I don't really want the EK 360 on the front, but looks like I will have to do it that way :( Hope i can still have room for my HDD's

Wow! That rad is huge. Is that how they recommend you mount the fans? Are they pulling air out or pushing it through the radiator back into the case?
 
This is how mine is setup. Works well.

If a fan is specified for push configuration like for example the noctua high static preasure ones or the noiseblocker eloop that would make a strange noise if you mount them in pull configuration yes you should use push. Other than that with regular fans it usually doesn't matter how you mount the fans performance wise. But for aesthetics and for the easier cleaning it makes sense to mount the fans in pull configuration.

Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.
 
 

Thanks for the responses on my High Temps. Jacob recommended calling in to support. I did and they are cross shipping me a replacement. Luck of the draw that I got a bad one, at least I hope so for everyone else's sake. We'll see as others get theirs if there are more like this.
 
I must say though this is one reason I stuck it out and waited for EVGA. Responses from Jacob on a Sunday, Tech Support available on a Sunday, no hold time, talked to someone who could speak English without a heavy accent and within a couple hours the entire process is done. Waiting for the shipping in a day or two. I think EVGA support is awesome and that's why I stick with them. Thanks Jacob and EVGA for supporting your customers. It does matter.
