i dont even need them. i figure its a sign, be happy with my 980ti hybrid and wait. or maybe get another 980ti hybrid again and be happy with a 980ti sli setup for a while. to be honest, i haven't even really gamed in months.

Got both my kits installed cards much better when kept cool

NZXT 810 case demo? Looks great btw

are those 2 FE's with the kit? looks groovy!
 
i also own a Switch 810 and would love to see more pictures of the whole setup.

Where are the fans that should be mounted to the radiator? Using front case fans to push air through from a distance, let alone missing parts of the rad?

the 2 fans sit inside that white mount that u see.
 
here's a clearer picture of my build in it's early stages:

Ahh, I see, interesting.

I already had an FTW and I got rid of the FTW because there's still no ETA for the kit, could be a month or two, and then having to deal with trying to get one on the first wave, if you're willing to wait THAT long, you'd might as well just wait for the 1080ti or whatever is coming next--not to mention paying more overall.
 
The wait is getting waaaaaaaay too long for this cards release, I DEEPLY regret not buying gigabyte's waterforce the multiple times I had the chance just because of my loyalty to EVGA, DEEPLY after this error nonsense.

Not a cure at all.  THE SAME EXACT THING WILL HAPPEN WITH THE 1080TI - hello!  It will probably be even worse because everyone is expecting the 1080Ti to have near Titan X specs for $400 less.  Nvidia learned from their mistake with the 980Ti having similary performance to the Titan X Maxwell, so don't expect the specs to be as close this time around.


Most likely specs of the 1080Ti:
 
8GB GDDR5X (not 12GB, sorry)
3072 shader units (to be expected - greater amount than 1080, but less than Titan X)
384-bit bus (a gift from Nvidia as they could easily skimp and give us the 256-bit bus that the 1080 uses)
GPU & Memory clock speeds are anyone's guess, but will most likely be a bit lower due to the additional unlocked SMs vs. the 1080
 
Or, just ignore all of this hypothesis mumbo jumbo and wait for Volta...or even later for ????
 
You get the point ;-)  You can keep waiting, but eventually you are going to have to settle and buy something!

I agree with this logic which is why I think it's important to jump on the new train ASAP if you are going to upgrade to enjoy your investment for a longer period before prices on it plummet thanks to a new product, let alone that slap in the face for people who do buy a high end card late only to have a new one drop within months of their purchase.
We're going on into our third month now, EVGA's hybrids still not released, they drop preorders today that will ship next week even though supposedly it was this week? But nothing new there. There's no ETA on the FTW kits by themselves, we'll be into what by then, the 4th-5th month? That's my point

I feel your pain, I really do.  All of us posting here really wanted the best EVGA has to offer.  When patience runs out, then you grab the next best thing.  2 month of trying to grab the next best thing was the same story being told over and over.  30 come in at X, gone in seconds.  Then wait 2-3 weeks, another 10-20 come in, gone in seconds.  Sign up for email notify, what a joke.  By the time you read the email, another 30 was gone hours ago.  This process didnt happen one time, or 2, but watching availability daily for 2 months wears on you.  I gave in, but very glad of my decision other than a "EVGA".
 
Dont let the frustration get to you on the EVGA Hybrid.  I see another 2,000 lurkers at my post that have not signed into EVGA today. EVGA will not have exceptions to the few that signed in here, you have 50X waiting outside this forum.  IF EVGA is just now having a few available, you know they didnt build up any supply at all.  Same story for all these new card.  Get a few in, gone in seconds.
 
You have 3 choices:  1-track it daily and hope you get lucky. 2-wait another month, maybe supply will be better. 3-screw it, grab something else you like.
 
I feel your pain, it hurt me for over 2 months!!  I hope you are one of the lucky few :)
 
Believe me, this will be hit and miss for many days to come, weeks, or even months.
