PasTecHi
I just feel like getting the cheapest 1080 right now and swap it with the hybrid kit but...cant find it on amazon
 
EDIT: Found it...unavailable 


Yeah it was available to order a few days ago but wasn't in stock, sort of a pre-order.
 
I ordered two but haven't heard anything about when stock is due.


Amazon runs in stock for 30seconds....then boom out of stock meh

One pointer, you want to turn the rear radiator the other way around so the tubes are coming out of the bottom. I've mounted an AIO cooler not quite the right way before myself and it caused micro bubbles to wind up in the pump and cause a lot of noise. It also makes the pump work harder. If you put the tubes at the bottom, gravity means the pump isn't 'pulling' the water all the way up the radiator and also means any micro bubbles forming will end up at the top of the radiator and wont be in danger of getting circulated down the tube and ending up in the pump.
 
Here's a recent GamersNexus video where he talks about this and shows the best way to do it: 
 
:EDIT: well it wont let me post a youtube link, the video title is "Ask GN 23: RX 490 Talk, GPU Power %, Driver Performance" and  the relevant part is about 8 minutes 40 secs.
 



Thanks Dandi,
I had considered that when doing the first install in the pic, but the positioning was causing tension & kinking on the lines & fittings I really didn't dig on. I just got my second one, and now the plan is to tap and cut the plexi on my case so that both radiators will be mounted directly out the side. Trying to criss cross the tubing so that the circuit of flow is ventral into the cooler is not working out. Looked like an MC Escher pic when I tried it.

I am everyday but i wasnt focused on the hybrid kit. Kinda wanted the sea hawk or gb waterforce since i have not hear anything of the 1080 hybrid. Then i started checking for the evga FTW but it ran out of stock when i went to purchase lol. Now that i am thinking i can get the stck acx evga 1080 and swap it with a hybrid, or a sc acx then swap...but then again the hybrid kit was unavailable for a couple of days on amazon lol. Hopefully by thursday i can make my purchase

I saw the Zotac 1080 for sale this morning. I'm sooooooo tempted to get it and just toss a hybrid cooler on it. After all that is the end game. A hybrid 1080. I just replaced the thermal paste on my 980 ti hybrid and that rascal stays at a nice 53c at 1440/60+ at Witcher 3 minus HW. 

Call me a nut job but sometimes I will just let the game sit and just enjoy the beauty of what's going on. Just had a ridiculous cutscene in the first expansion with all sorts of fire going on in the background. I just sat and let it run. Admiring the scenery and watching to see if the card goes any higher. I clearly have issues. I would marry my 980 ti if I could bring it into the real world as a 30 year old Salma Hayek. At the least fornicate the snot out of it until I'm tired of hearing it talk then turn it back into a video card......

Jacob said on Twitter that they were monitoring daily on the Hybrid and were hoping for next week.  If someone already mentioned it, sorry.  I'm not reading back through all of this at this point.
 
I'd say with what you ordered and the kit once it arrives you will be pleased anyway.  You may be pleased without the hybrid kit anyway....
