Was just about to put on a pre-order on the swedish site komplett.se for the Hybrid but saw now that they pushed the release from oct 2nd to oct 21st. What the actual F?
 
Actually I think I'm probably just gonna get the Titan X now. The only thing holding me down on that card is the acoustics (noise).

I've been checking their site every now and then, but never saw that they had it listed so thanks for saying it. It's still a bit more expensive than buying it from the eu.evga.com store though (but still cheaper than the MSI seahawk), so I'm not sure where I'll buy mine from.
 
I'm still hoping that webhallen will have it.

No worries man :) I know there is a petition thread for Titan X Hybrid kit but do anyone know if there is some form of kit for the Titan X besides that hideous Arctic one?

I just don't get the purpose of hybrid card... wasn't water cooling mean to eliminate dust collecting/noisy fans that are inferior in cooling??? What's all the hype? Why not just wait for HydroCopper? Which is superior in cooling, no dust, no noise....

lower temps and less noise. lower temps = more stable and higher boost clocks and OC's; while running cooler then fanned cards.
 
noisy fans, yes, i always replace stock rad fans. get higher quality fans that move more air while making less noise. i recommend noctua nf-f12's
 
i never heard anyone mention the dust collecting, that has to do with your case, air pressure and filters. hydro copper is still going to require a rad with a fan on it. same with this scenario, make sure you get quality fans!
 
though, yes the hydro removes the cards fan. BUT, with the hybrid cards it is normal to keep the cards fan at much lower speeds then it would be if you wasnt hydro. for instance my 980ti fan is set to never go above 35%. you can hear it under 40%. on top of that the hydro is going to cost much more when you add a pump, tubes, ran and fan.
 
 

Do you recommend the ML140 pros?

like the other poster said, you would want ML120 pros, unless you are using a bracket to convert 140 to 120mm. i havent bought one myself, but they look much better then the regular ml120 (as far as style and specs). i would probably go for whatever i could find for less (or whatever fit my build color). noctuas are ugly, but mine are hidden for the most part.
 
i also like that noctua comes with a low noise adapter (they will run slower), a splitter (good if you want to run push/pull or SLI and want to control both fans together), an extension cable (nice to run fan cable behind mobo), and rubber mounts. but the rubber mounts only work when mounting fan to case, not for rads.

You most certainly can use the rubber anti-vibration mounts on radiators. I should know, I have four 140mm Noctuas mounted in a push/pull on a Kraken X61.
 
EDIT -- Unless you meant the rubber screws that come with them, then no. My bad if that's what you were referring to.

i meant the rubber "screws". the rubber anti vibration pads/covers dont effect any possible mounting scenarios.

I don't think you answered my question... What are advantages of Hybrid, over HydroCopper, which has a superior cooling and 0 noise?

Zero maintenance.
 

Gave in and got myself a Titan X. Sorry EVGA. I usually have good patience but waiting 4 months was a bit too much even for me. Jacob said that the Hybrid is just around the corner, so I hope it comes next week for all of you with even more patience :)
