My first card lived for about 6 months and so did my second.  Both cards started getting the black screen which was only fixed by a reboot.  Last night though, it did not come back and was laid to rest.  I submitted a ticket and am awaiting my RMA approval.  I have had many videocards in my time and I cannot say I ever had this happen even while working at a computer shop for 14 years....very disappointed.  I will say EVGA has some of the best customer service and they stand by their products so I am keeping my hopes up..

I would say better to buy the air cooled version and then buy the hybrid kit, easier to rma that way.

As someone whose had 2 pumps die or get really loud, the 1 year warranty with the kit isn't long enough. It's better to get the card with a 3 year.
