Finally got everything the way I like it, I think. Had to use a couple of things from another case to move the radiators a few inches closer to the gpu's so there isn't as much tension as there was when I ran them all the way to the front of the case. Love these 980 ti kits.
Did you cut out the geforce gtx led? or was that something you bought seperate? looks nice but feel like it would void warranty.
No, no cutting involved, the LED part just pops out of the reference shroud. When I took the first one's shroud off it kinda just popped out on it's on so just popped the other one out. You do have to figure out a way to attach it to the shroud...i used velcro strips. If I need to RMA i can just put it back into the reference's shroud. But maybe it will void the warranty even doing that so user beware. I wish EVGA would have made the Hybrid words transparent and included a thin LED strip to put behind it inside the shroud using the same power socket the Geforce GTX light strip uses. Can't remember what the inside of that part looks like but I imagine a small LED strip would fit. Then the logo, etc. would light up. I'll be honest though I didn't like the look of the hybrid shroud but seeing it in person I think it looks nice.

Just grabbed one for my Titan X (lucky I'm not one who cares for looks), anyone know if you can have a backplate attached with this on? Edit: Nvm, took the time to actually look through product pics of hybrid titan x

IN STOCKKK NOW! GO GO GO!
Missed it again!!! Arghh! Really wish EVGA would allow pre-orders.... I'm getting ready just to sell my EVGA TX and 'downgrade' to either a hybrid 980ti/G1 980ti/EVGA SC+ to get rid of the noisy stock cooler. My EVGA TX is just too loud when playing Witcher 3.

Someone ask before few days for TITAN X Hybrid in Europe...
I think they are available on Caseking but probably will gone fast.

Vlad dude, You've been posting in English speaking forums for a few years now yet your English is still like something a drunken old man would sound like after 10 bottles of vodka. Let me help you with your sentencing dude. "Didn't someone ask a few days ago about the Titan X Hybrid cooler in europe ?As far as I know they are available on Caseking but will probably be gone quite quickly due to their popularity"

Finished installing and tweaking both of my AIOs earlier in the week, very happy with the results. Special thanks to ShadowYuna for the idea to use the NVTTM reference with the EVGA AIO, works very well and retains the same great look of the reference shroud. I also installed backplates on my cards (1xEVGA and 1xNvidia that I stole off my wife's reference 970). Overall extremely happy with the mod, temps hit 53C max on both cards OC'd to 1404MHz instead of 85C and even 90C on the output card with the reference cooler, once overclocked, with a max OC of only ~1291MHz before things started getting hairy. I was skeptical about these AIO solution on graphics cards but now I'm a firm believer, for these 250+W monster GPUs AIO is the way to go. The only way this could be improved in the future is a full block AIO, or more feasibly, a new plate with beefier fins/heatsink to handle the VRMs, RAM, PCB cooling. The existing fan and plate on the reference cooler do not do a good enough job cooling the VRMs, PCB and RAM imo as the reference shroud and backplates still get very hot to the touch even though the GPU itself is much cooler. Another thing I noticed is that overclocking in SLI is much more difficult with all of these different boosts, voltages, clocks, ASIC qualities. It really took a lot of tweaking to get stable and I ran into some really odd behavior as well. Basically, under certain settings, one card would go to max voltage no matter what (1.237mV) and would get super unstable as a result as it constantly hit the OV max limit, Voltage limit, and Power % limit. But it was unstable at pretty much any overclock. By itself, it would boost up to 1467MHz with +150 offset with the AIO cooler so I knew it wasn't the chip itself. I had to find a combination of settings on both GPUs that would prevent it from just trying to overvolt to the max Voltage setting before I found a nice stable overclock of 1404MHz on both cards, so I am happy with this setting for now. It could be an issue with Precision and how it handles 2 different cards with different BIOS settings.

So what's the consensus on the noise on the hybrid cooler? I'm considering getting the EVGA 980 Ti Hybrid as I was not happy with the fan performance on my Gigabyte G1 980 Ti (the fans over 50% have this loud high pitched whine, not coil whine and not sure if issue with fan or just the way they are) as I'd like high overclocks combined with reasonable noise levels.
I have read that the various reports that the pumps can have a buzzing sound audible on idle? Is this still the case and is there anything you can do about it? Is it really so loud you can hear it outside the case? What about fan noise otherwise?

The buzzing sound of the pump is true; I think that every kit is like that. It is very quite, that´s because maybe not everyone notices it, but not silent, I notice it (I´ve the case Fractal Design R4 ad 1m distance) if I hear nothing around me and it is for me really noisy when I work with the pc. That´s because I will report back the card and I will take the SC ACX 2.0. It´s a pity then the card is cool and quite while full load. ASIC: 81%! I connected the fan to the fan control of the case. With 7v it is silence. At 12v it is very loud.

Thanks for your answer! I have the Fractal Design R3 sitting under the table, probably about 1m distance from my ears then.

Did you try to flash modded BIOS to get higher overvoltage like 1.27 or 1.31V? If your ASIC is <80% this may help. For example my TX(ASIC=70%, still on air) passes FS extreme/ultra on ~1480-1490 boost now, while on 1.24V it is only capable of ~1420-1430. Of course temps are too high even on max rpm, so I also want to go hybrid/AIO.

the sound is now much better after I putted the radiator bottom, very quite, but I can definitely hear the buzzing pump. No way, I send it back. This is exactly what you hear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25515gnTmjM

I've gotten lucky on mine, no pump noise to note. I have a very quiet Corsair H105 too, all Noctua fans on that and for the two AIOs I got Corsair SP120s just to try something different. All in an Air 540 which is much quieter than my previous HAF-X. I have read some reports of pump noise however so maybe just hit or miss. Certainly nothing like the noise we've been hearing in Fury X vids, anyways. I haven't tried flashing the BIOS. I have two diff cards, a reference Nvidia card that I am reluctant to flash bc I may need to RMA it at some point down the line and an EVGA SC. Ref Nvidia card is 72% ASIC and the EVGA is 67% ASIC. The Nvidia card overclocks better by itself, like 1480 effortlessly on the AIO. But when paired up in SLI, the EVGA card requires less voltage and seems more stable. I may look into flashing both to same BIOS some time down the line, but I also don't want to increase voltage too much as the shroud and back plate already get really hot. The AIO does a great job of keeping the GPU cool, but the VRMs still only get that top plate to keep them cool.

Finally got the 980Ti hybrid up and running on my Titan X and so far it's super quiet with push/pull GT AP14s on it. I was skeptical of some people's reports about not going over 40C at load, but with daytime temps out here from 90-100+ F, I'm still seeing 28-29C idle and 45-55C load! I had forgot the advantages of liquid cooling ever since I stopped doing custom loops several years ago.
My only gripe is that my hybrid kit had one of the sleeve ends come loose (at the pump end). Looking at it closer, it seems these braided sleeves are held on by some cheap black shrink wrap/tape material. The thought of RMA came to mind, but uninstalling/downtime/and limited stock of these things made me just say screw it and live with it.
I'm sure my situation is rare, but EVGA should look into ways of securing the braided sleeves on these kits a little better for future models.

Hey guys, if i were to replace the stock fan on the hybrid kit with push pull 3 or 4 pin fans at 7v what would I need? I would like to replace the stock with atleast one Noctua or Corsair SP. Better performance and lower noise level is what I am aiming for. Any tips would be great thanks !!

Finally got the kit installed after some difficulty with stripped screws on my card, was able to get those suckers out and proceed with the kit installation. My initial impression is...WOW. Pump noise really is a non-issue to me and I don't hear any odd sounds or buzzing, etc. Just slightly more "woosh" sound from the fan which is not disruptive to me. I see no reason to lower the voltage of the fans or pump, I don't need absolute silence when idling. I'm idling right now at 26 degrees. Did a couple runs of 3dmark11 at 1476mhz overclock on stock bios, voltage at 1.243, and my max temp was 47 degrees. Prior to installing the kit my load temps reached the upper 70's up to max of 80 at that clock speed for that benchmark. Very impressed so far. If I go with an SLI setup I will just buy a proper Hybrid card rather than the kit.

Have you guys noticed a preferable angle for the pump/fan/radiator? I want to place mine perpendicular to the cards, ie on the back of my case, and want to minimize noise.

I asked someone at EVGA prior to installing. They said you can put the radiator wherever and it will work, but ideally it should be above the card / pump for optimal performance. The pump is on top of the gpu itself. I was originally going to place mine vertically on a hard drive cage but ended up placing it at the top of my case / horizontally.

Struggling to get hybrid versio of 980 Ti so got myself a SC blower version and will wait when aio is back in stock and get it then.
Sorry, maybe it was mentioned before, but.. I dont like the idea that radiator fan spins @ 100% all the time.
Now i looked at the installation guide and.. what if you plug a Y cable splitter where the blower supposed to be connected and connect radiator and blower fan at both ends? this way rad and blower should spin up & down depending on gpu temp.
Has anyone tried this?

Re: The Official Titan X and HYBRID Water Cooler (All in One) for GTX 980 Thread

Bah, I can't find the Titan X version of the Hybrid Cooler (or any version, really) over here in Europe. I had the "Notify me" on the EVGA website on to no avail and also pre-ordered in many places over the past month but they all cancelled the order citing it's no longer available from the manufacturer. What's the deal? When are they going to be readily available again? What are the alternatives? Is there any AIO waterblock that's exactly the same as the EVGA one and fits perfectly (screwholes, etc.) with the original Titan X shroud (and glass removed)? I really want to cool this card without having to have the fan up at 80-100% during the hot days of the summer here.

Just managed to put a Hybrid AIO on my 980Ti last night, and I have to say that I'm rather impressed with how it's kept things cool. Under load I've only ever seen it scratch 45 °C at 1080p, and this makes me really comfortable going to higher resolutions.
The install was a bit stressful though, and I'm fearing that I might have to reopen the shroud and get things positioned a little better with regard to the wires. When I put the power pass-through in, the bit that sticks up and out was threatening to rub up against the fan, and I didn't know how to reasonably tape it down without obstructing airflow over the remaining part of the cooler. I keep having nightmares of that plug head slowly bending toward the fan until it collides while running, and disaster striking. Anyone have any tips for that? It feels really tight in there - it was hard to even get the plug in to begin with, and then it was sticking straight up and needed quite a bit of bending to get it flat.
Other than that it was a reasonable install, and things ran very smooth after flashing the card BIOS. Really impressed with how efficient it is.

The availability of these here in Europe is terrible :( My reference 980Ti Superclocked desperately wants a hybrid cooler! 84°C in Unigine Valley is a tad toasty
I would kill for the hybrid cooler /jk

Canadian availability for this is also abysmal, don't think I've seen it anywhere else other than this website. My card's working ok but not being able to OC this 980ti while waiting for the cooler to become more available is killing me.
