Yes you would need to modify the shroud, I don't know anything about the warranty depending on that. However, you can probably orientate it to the left instead of up like the Japanese OEM did. The mounting bracket seems perfectly square so you can probably rotate it. and mount it a different direction. There's a little hole where they put the tubes through, not sure if it came off via screws or through modifying the shroud.

There is also an option to not use any shroud. It would not look too great but VRM and memory cooling may be even better (standard EVGA plastic shroud prevents blower from blowing at that heatsink part on rear of the card). On the other hand EVGA shroud should be compatible with future reference coolers based on NVTTM design, you just need to accept that it says you have an old GTX980 ;)
 
BTW The great thing about EVGA Hybrid is that it uses smaller copper base which perfectly fits GPU with no need to remove MEM/VRM cooling part. To do so with AIO designed primary for CPU you need an additional copper shim that obviously increses thermal resistance.

Do you by chance have an image or a link to the Japanese OEM version?

(I'm being prevented from linking due to spam prevention to link anything)
Anywho you can look up "Japanese OEM replace GTX Titan X" and probably find it.
 
The japanese OEM is simply a company that sells computers that builds computer's mind you, the AIO cooler is from Asetek I believe. the "Asetek 740n" is my guess.

I think at this point the  Part Number: 400-HY-H980-B1  has proven its self as a great AIO Cooler.
 

 
 
Also yes, I agree. I want the 980 hybrid to work for these because I ultimately interested in buying the 980 hybrid. But what if I can use that cooler and mount it on future reference coolers? 
 
Anywho, the whole point of this is that the 980 hybrid kit might work with a Titan X. But I don't know for sure.

 
Hey
 
At this point it would be really nice if somebody with a titan X and a hybrid AiO came here and told us, here guys that how it looks etc and talk about fitting... EVGA_Jacob said it fitted and he didn't mention anything else about it so my guess is that it all fits well beside that the shroud says 980 :D. If i end up using this shroud, i'll just paint it another color (heat resistant paint) like all black or all green dunno. If i ever do it i'll post pics etc here.

Hey
 
i had already seen the japanese version which i find awesome and i don't know why nvidia haven't got this first. They're probably keeping it locked and tight until we see some competition from amd and then BAM slam the market with the Titan X Ultra Watercooled. Anywho, can't find stock for the 980 Hybrid Cooler, amazon and ncix are all out. Will have to wait -_______-

I really hope a kit like this can somehow be universal to all future nvidia cards. That'd be really sweet to be able to use a hybrid setup for each new card you get down the line

The AIO coolers still have a lifespan to consider.  They aren't infallible by any means.

No Computer Hardware is infallible or to common user "never failing; always effective" So your point is not really Valid.
I have a Warranty Period: Extended Warranty 10 Years on my card.
