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.
evga Jacob already responded on page 2 that the kit was happening.

Also, over on overclock.net, a user was attempting to install a full cover water block and his screw driver slipped and damaged the board. He explained to NVIDIA what happened and the honored the warranty anyways. Nvidia seems to have a decent warranty stance.

Nvidia is a company like any other to make always more cash. 1080 ti will give them more cash so will see. Maybe they changed their plan and will release a new architecture quicker but I really doubt. They do not have any competition so they rule the game!
 
Back to Hybrid kit, I hope they will do the kit for the Titan. I might buy the 1080 kit and mod it to fit but I would prefer just install something design for it. It would be a shame to buy the 1080 kit and 1 week later the titan kit comes out...
 
Thats why a simple yes or no from EVGA would help a lot!!
 


I can tell you that you wouldnt regret it, having the titan running at 50c is amazing with OC. Now if the titan hybrid came out with RGB led on the shroud or perhaps a redesigned shroud then maybe I would kick myself a bit but the 1080 hybrid kit matches my build well and I like the white led lights.

My Titan does 1900 MHz GPU clock, at 79 C, with Fans at 90%.
 
Can't wait to see what it does with this kit...even if it does the same, I will love the silence.

You're right, they did, but a lot of people are "demanding" to know when it comes out, which is why I felt the need to respond with what I provided. They're probably in the negotiation stage, and the only thing that would make sense (excluding Nvidia wanting their hands in the "money maker") is that this would cause Nvidia to re-write their warranty clause regarding the Pascal Titan using EVGA's hybrid kit. After all, the GPU is an Nvidia product, not an EVGA product, and it would have an EVGA cooler slapped onto Nvidia's product. That's all I see in the matter which would make it take so long. I could be wrong.

Lol @ EVGA dropping the ball on this one.
 
Glad I went elsewhere for my cooler.
