Care less about the controversy and more about when the damn kit is going to sell. They said on twitter they were getting shipments today; would like this year+ bigfoot hunt to be actually realized so I can move on with my life ugh.
 
Gonna give it this week then I'm probably going to mod a regular 1080 kit, seems like a pain that didn't need to happen but EVGA is really killing with this.

So you don't care in the slightest that EVGA not only jacked up the price and it trying to justify it with misleading marketspeak, but also allegedly going to be a "limited run"? Even if the kit launches, good luck getting your hand on it. This isn't going to be like the 1080ti where you sit back fro a month and you can eventually get one. If it is a TRUE limited run, they will produce x-qty and then poof...Furthermore, because they were so kind as to announce this on twitter, you know scalpers just got reaaaaaaaaaaaly excited.

Firstly, no, I don't care. Would I have liked it cheaper? Sure. Is it still cheaper than a custom loop? Yes. Yes it is.
 
Secondly, you're making incredibly broad assumptions. We don't know what limited run means. And yes, thank you for the luck. I was able to get my stepup in within the 20 minute window before the EVGA site blew up. Also, it's not going to be out of stock for eternity, I just want it to be sellable so we can get this show on the road. 
 
Lastly, if I can't get the Hybrid I'm willing to go look at custom loops or other solutions, but the last thing I want is to waste time and effort modding the 1080 kit or going custom cooling just to have the TI kit release and be easily attainable, so soon as I know my "chance is up" I can move on to Plan B and C without fear. Likewise, I might just end up getting my kit without issue..
 
A lot of people already water cooled via mod or custom or don't care, everyone else is eyeing all the other variations of the TI that are now going in stock. I don't think the demand is as bad as you think, and if it is, oh well?

Yea makes sense...
 
So I think it's safe to say that with all the demand the Auto notify wont be any good for the hybrid kit either.

 
All the demand? Where are you even getting this from? Could we please stop being melodramatic?

Millionth and one time, modifications ARE NOT REQUIRED. They are only needed if you want to install the shroud. Leaving the shroud OFF doesn't require anything other than attaching the GPU cooler.

And without a Shroud how are you going to Cool the VRAM and VRM/Chokes?

That should clear up any questions anyone has
 
EDIT: To clarify on those pictures, they aren't mine, there is zero modification to the midplate neccessary. Literally just taking the shroud off, installing the GPU cooler, screwing it back down.

Who is arguing that you cannot make a ghetto mod?  If you want to use the kit AS INTENDED, you MUST do modifications. That is a fact. I hope this clears up YOUR confusion.

What a pissing contest this thread has become.
 
Any mods out there?
 

 
You are okay with a arbitrary price hike, we get it. You have voiced that you feel $40-$50 is a drop in the bucket when compared to the 700 thrown down on the card. So why are you still here? You clearly do not agree with the subject matter and that is fine. However, throwing up the opinion that "this is a shouting match" and "everyone is being silly because you had no problem throwing down $700" is hardly constructive and does nothing to argue for or against the issue at hand.

I'm not "still here."
 
I just came back to this thread for the first time in like 4 days and all I see is back and forth bickering about misinformation being spread and a bunch of other quoted crap that I'm too lazy to read.
 
I've actually got better things to do... but feel free to continue trying to convince each other who is right.
 
I'll come back in a few days with popcorn to see if any progress was made... and yeah, $40 is a drop in the bucket on a $4000 PC.
 
Laterz...  :) :)

I know. What I stated is an OBJECTIVE fact. If you want to use the kit as intended, you must make modifications. Apparently that is very confusing to some.

I would recommend the way it is designed as one of the main reasons being is, it helps direct air flow over the areas it is needed since with a AIO liquid kit, only the GPU is being cooled, otherwise you will have the air flow scattered any which way it wants to go.  The air flow in the case in general can alter the blowers flow hence why there is a shroud included.

The heatsink being replaced is for the GPU and cooling the GPU only. The midplate is what dissipates the heat from the VRM's and the blower blows the hot air off the heatplate out of the back. Now, without the shroud over the GPU itself I could see the ambient temperature in your case going up a couple C but not enough to be noticeable however if you are that enthusiastic about your cooling in general you would be getting custom loop and not doing hybrid or AIO anyway.

Woohooo! Back for another F5 marathon.
 
I know EVGA cant tell us when its coming exactly but it would be really nice if they could just tell us when its not coming.
 
Maybe I'm asking to much.
