i have the PWM Noctua Redux 140mm's on my Kraken x61's radiator because i, too, couldn't stand the regular brown/tan color. i have 2 of the 140mm brown/tan ones running intake because u can't see them.
 
the Noctua Industrial-series also come in a dark color scheme.

Also, the Corsair levitation fans aren't all they're cracked up to be. I have 2 140s and 4 120s in my build (doing push/pull on my Hybrid) and they perform well, but they're nowhere CLOSE to silent. Air hitting grills or rads WILL make noise. My Noctuas were quieter at the same temps, honestly.
 


Hmmm I'd be interested in some hard facts for this. I want to get the hybrid kit on Christmas and I originally planned to slam 2 Noctuas onto it - after reading about the ML120s I thought these would be the better choice regarding noise to performance levels. I planned upgrading my Corsair H100i with them as well (currently using Corsair SP120s on it) Now you are saying they are louder than the Noctuas and I'm quite confused xD Do you use shrouds? 






I can't give you hard measurements. But I'm just saying the MLs aren't noiseless or physics-defying. I have a pair of them right now on my Hybrid's rad inside my (very quiet!) Define R5 and I can hear them very noticeably over 60% speed.

Has anyone seen any Hybrids pop up at any 3rd party retailers? I can't find any here in the US, but I saw a post mentioning a store pre-order being available.

Was wondering this too. Some guy here from Germany had a pre-order waiting but didn't say from where or how. Did see a hybrid on ebay but in the US was gonna over 1000€ to ship to Sweden. Plus there always the risk of getting brick in fancy box or having the warranty voided for some reason (not really well read about warranties)

I haven't and I've been searching daily (Best Buy, Micro Center, Newegg, etc.). There were a few I've seen on EBay over the past few weeks but they are marked up really high ($1000+) compared to the MSRP EVGA has set. The best advise I can give you is to wait it out, it will come in stock eventually. If you have a local Micro Center nearby it could help to physically check it (as often as you're willing) when you can, they are like a gold mine, you never know what you'll see on the shelves despite what the website shows. I personally ordered (2) EVGA GTX 1070 FTW Hybrid Gaming cards (earlier in the day; got the lucky email notification and ordered right away) since they will be more than enough on a 2K/Ultra settings screen. They are now sold out as well.

Yes it seems the only Hybrids out there are ludicrously marked up about 350+ over the much more reasonable EVGA price. Funny you mention Micro Center, I live about ten minutes away from the only one in my state, but their GTX 1080 stock on their site is abysmal, but I'll have to go investigate in person.

That was me and it was a pre-order directly from EVGA Germany and I received it two days ago.

Alright! Thanks for clearing that :) I did tweet Jacob today about when the EU-store might get stock but he hasn't responded yet.
