Why should EVGA hurry to produce a cooler for a card that nVidia won't let them market? For what it's worth, I have a 1080 Hybrid kit on a Titan XP and the base plate is not a problem. I used a Dremel tool on the shroud but if one doesn't care about having a shroud it isn't important.

I understand your choice but I prefer to have the kit design for it. What clock do you have with the hybrid on it?

I don't OC or even run software for fan profiles so my clocks are from the default bios. I can say that my temps are about 20C better using the Hybrid kit than with nVidia's piece of a cooler and hasn't come close to throttling as happened with nVidia's cooler.

I can see they really put some emphasis on the subject line...

Pretty much confirmed that the Hybrid Kit for the Titan X Pascal is coming. We just don't know when :)

This has pretty much finally decided me on not doing a 3rd RMA on my 1080 FTW Hybrid and instead getting a Titan XP. Sure it's a lot of money to pay for a card, but it should keep me happy for a good couple of years, particularly once it has the AIO cooler on it - I didn't want to go back to a full custom loop again, I just don't have time for maintenance etc.. Also my work owes me an additional $640 for recent travel expenses I've already covered, so with that and the refund of the 1080 Hybrid I have no worries.

Awesome man! Damn the Titan XP is a powerhouse. But omg the card is loud :/ OC the card to 2050 MHz with the stock cooler and the card stayed at 75 C with about 80% fan speed. My room is pretty cold I should add. About 21 C and 18 C on the floor level where my PC is.

The card is about as loud as my previous EVGA GTX 770 SC ACX but the Titan XP has a higher pitched sound from the type of fan so it's a bit more annoying. But that is when I clock it a bit higher. However i do run the card at stock settings right now just for the acoustics while I wait for a decent AIO kit to come out. I was first about to buy a custom loop kit but its quite expensive just for cooling a gpu (I have a AIO kit already for my CPU) and adding the maintance it requires makes me a bit split in the decision.

I just ordered the 1080/1070 hybrid kit.  Going to slap the AIO cooler on my Titan and see if it works as good as the folks on the internet says it does.
 
Going to keep the Titan X P coldplate, and not have a "cover" over the AIO waterblock.  I'm OK with this if the temps on this card will drop to what my 980 Ti Hybrid does.

If possible for you when you will have installed it, take the temperature of the video ram area. The side where you have no cover. on the cold plate. Im sure with aio you have so less heat coming from the gpu the vram should be a lot colder. I use an IR temp gun to take my temperature measure but I dont have the aio yet.

Good luck. Originally, I thought it was going to be easy because of others posting that it was only 2 cuts on the backplate. Unfortunately, it required a lot of grinding near the VRM / capacitor area because the backplate wouldn't close (probably due to the capacitors) or meet the screw holes otherwise. This video was 100% spot on, but I would take off the heatsink at the very end next to the fan (2 screws) before grinding. Was a frustrating experience for me since I'm a complete noob with a dremel and I don't have a workspace or garage to do this kind of stuff. Due to my lack of experience, the backplate looks like a mess but I put thermal pads over the the areas that I grinded and put it all together. It works and now the Titan won't go over 53C for me, but I still might consider buying the hybrid kit for the Titan XP when it comes out since I felt like I did such a poor job and some areas are still not as tight fighting as I would like.
 
Really disappointed in EVGA that the kit is taking this long and we still have no ETA. Maybe they're waiting for the 1080Ti to come out and release one that would work for both? Also disappointed with Nvidia and how loud the original cooler is.
 

No hybrid kit is the only thing keeping me from buying a Titan XP right now.

Well the hybrid kit is confirmed to come. We just don't know when. Could be next week or next year.

For the moment i run the card on it's stock cooler (the original that comes with) and yes, the card is loud as F. However that is just under load when i crank the fan curve to aggressive. When it idles it's just like any other air cooled card.

My case is quite open as well so if yours is closed and you use headphones I think you can live with it.

Amazing card, disappointing cooler.

But it's very obvious that this card is meant to be put under water. Why Nvidia is not offering their own water cooling solution is a mysery.
