Pretty certain that someone has stated this somewhere on this thread... Nvidia warranty is not the same as EVGA's warranty. EVGA's far surpasses Nvidia's any day in anyone's life. Speculation: Chances are they are probably in the written negotiation stages with Nvidia, because this would require the user to take off Nvidia's shroud, which (in theory), could void the warranty (or totally void the warranty in this case), if Nvidia wanted to say so. So, it really sounds like they are working out a negotiation, or this whole thing is a no/go, because of the plan above, and you're all wasting your time. Even though EVGA is Nvidia's best OEM partner, each company still has to follow warranty guidelines. Let's hope that choice is A is the matter of what could possibly taking so long. We can't forget that lawyers are probably involved in it too, regarding the warranty. This is what I'm thinking, don't take my word for it.
Secondly, Not quite sure none of you have posted this on Nvidia's forum page, titling "Petition for EVGA Titan X Hybrid kit"; Nvidia techs don't really come on this site.
EVGA cannot just come straight out and say "Yes! There will be a Hybrid kit coming!" This will never happen, nor will they hint to you that it's coming until it's finally released. Both Nvidia and EVGA have to come to an agreement, and mostly this will be a yes or no answer from Nvidia, not EVGA. Nvidia is the one that's going to honor the warranty for the video card, not EVGA, EVGA is only providing the cooler. This is the problem that I see on why it's taking so long; sounds like it's never been done before. Lots of negotiations everywhere.
