EVGA support advised I re-apply the thermal paste to the heatsink. I re-applied the compound to the GPU/Pump. I have set the front intake fans to 90% and the rear to 90% as well as disabled the top exhaust fans entirely. 
 
           -I have ordered some thermal sensors so I can do some manual data collection. Just have to wait for that. 

I then ran TimeSpy and the card peaked @ 68C. I held my hand to the back of the radiator and it does not appear to be hot. Would you think the actual heatsink on the card would need the compound reapplied?

not quite sure what you mean by actual heatsink ? As the card is a naked die chip with a copper cold plate that touches it. Is that the paste you replaced? Try running a heaven bench for a bit. Then if the air coming out the rad still feels cool ,and not warm.it would point to some how the pump is underperforming either by way of air or low fluid or any other number of things

I think the radiator is low on fluid. I shake it to loosen the air bubbles and it sounds as if there is very little water. 

I actually watched a tear down video by GamerNexus and got the answer to the HeatSink question. The heatsink I had questioned was the mosfets heatsink, it actually is does not use the thermal compound, so I know I pasted the correct components.

you don't really hear a lot of fluid when you swish it around in the rad. But it does appear your card is getting much to warm for a hybrid card since you have even turned up the fans in a push pull and still see pretty high temps.as 68c under load is quite warm for a hybrid even if you had one fan. I would start a ticket and ask for a cross ship RMA if you can handle having a pending charge.
