Hello everyone i'm expecting my new 1080 hybrid to arrive 2morrow but im using air cooling for my cpu so i dont think i have enough space for the radiator,Im using a h440 nzxt case..Any ideas where would be the best place to put the radiator?

The Front Top panel of the case should be sufficient space to put on there. Even the front panel just remove the drive bays on the bottom or top depending how your drive or drives are configured. you can mount it there as well

If your cpu heatsink is too big for the usual spots like the top or the backside then next best spot is to put it in the front.

You'll need to remove the fan from the rad and put it on the other side in push mode with it blowing cool air in from the front threw the rad. Hopefully you can turn the rad with the barbs position to the side as it may be tight.. but if you don't care if the barbs block the other fan below then position it with the barbs on the bottom.

That's if it reaches the front. I've seen pics of someone using spacers to make it reach.

Also that's the way you want the rad anyways.. with cooler air blowing threw the rad. The other way with it in the top or to the left side then you would have hot air coming off your cpu cooler blowing threw the rad heating it up.

you might be able to put it on the rear exhaust as a push. but i would recommend putting it in the front if you can and use the push and pull config so you can extend the radiator more towards the vid card so the tubing doesn't stretch to far. Not sure how long the tubes are. if it's still the 15.75inches, you'll be fine putting it in the front. 

thanks alot everyone:)

Hey. Just checking in, curious how your hybrid is behaving. I am upgrading my FTW to a hybrid and just wanted to collect some anecdotal references ;)

hey as usuall pump is abit noise and the fan is noise aswell and some coil whine but you can hear it only if you put your near the case

Coil whine is a fascinating beast for me as I never ever have had it with any GPU I've bought. 
You sure are aware of these discussions going on regarding the FTW and the supposed "design flaw" with missing heat dissipation for the VRMs. As the Hybrid does actively cool these, did you encounter any sorts of weird behaviour, like black screens, artifacts, the card not properly waking up from stand by or whatever?
 
Regarding the noise I can suggest replacing the stock fan ON THE RADIATOR with some aftermarket fans like Noctua or Corsair SP 120 quiet edition. Those should bring down the noise significantly. Of course, you will still have the fan blowing on the VRM that you cannot easily replace, but that fan shouldn't be that noisy in comparison.

Hard to really tell without seeing the complete computer case.
