Anyone able to provide guidance when I get these in a few days? This is how I have my case setup right now... a bit weird with the rear fan as an intake, right? (old picture, it's an intake now) I wanted to ensure positive pressure plus cool down the GPUs and H100i as much as possible.
 
Anyway, I'm not sure where to place the radiator fans for the Titan X's. I can use an adapter and place them both in the front (since the front has 140mm fans already, not static pressure fans though), but the front of my case, a Corsair 750D, has a front panel cover with not much room for air flow by the looks of it. Don't know how much/if it'll impact, but my guess is yes... plus it's so far away the tubes may not reach by less than an inch.
 
So I'm considering the bottom. There should be plenty of room under the case for airflow. My dilemma is setting them up as intake or exhaust. As exhaust, the front fans will be pulling fresh air directly over top of the radiator fans - but, with how close they are, the front fans will likely be pulling some of that hot air right back inside and I could lose positive air pressure. As intake they might compete slightly pressure wise with the front fans, and will heat up interior temps by quite a bit, getting sucked into the GPU blowers and spreading all the way up to the motherboard, CPU radiator, etc. - just my guess.

My testing showed that when I increased the GPU Fan it also increased the Fan on the Radiator.

Impossibru. Blower is PWM controlled and fan is only 2 pin (as well as pump cable).

Well then I will go right now and re-test.
 
Well Mr. Impossibru I mean Mr. mjs85  is correct.
Now I know why I added a Fan Controller.

The 120mm fan uses a separate power connection than the blower fan. All of the power does come from the card though, so that's a good question. The GPU blower won't be blasting though, especially not at the default profile since the temp will probably never break 60.

My testing showed that when I increased the GPU Fan it also increased the Fan on the Radiator.

Interesting. What speed do the fans typically run at under load then? If you manually set to 100%, what RPM is the blower fan?

My Re-Testing showed that when I increased the GPU Fan it Does Not increased the Fan on the Radiator.
 
With the Blower Fan set at 100% it hits 4200 RPMs

Air Flow works well on my AIO RIG.

 

I don't think I'll get a fan controller. My motherboard handles it pretty well with the AI Suite software. I actually just saw one of Linus' videos on fan configs with radiators... SP as push and AF as pull (like I would, and now will, be doing) produced the best result! I have to wonder though what the specs on the EVGA fan are. 1350~ RPM is pretty low to me when my H100i SP 120's are configured for about 1800 RPM under load. I may replace the EVGA fan with SP 120's just because I feel they'd perform better, plus I wouldn't have that ugly cord running to the GPU.

One of the EVGA Techs did remind me about Fans and Radiators.
If you use different fans in Push/Pull you can create some strange Fan Sounds through the Radiator.
So you may want to test your Fans before you mount them in your Case @ 100%
The EVGA Fan that is mounted or the comes with the AIO Unit at 100% was hitting 2000+ RPMs.

I believe that is turbulence caused by mismatched CFM rates. I should be able to make these be fairly equal. All else considered, I probably won't hear it or be bothered by it anyway.
 
I thought you couldn't adjust the EVGA fan? Well, that wouldn't make sense... only adjustable when connected to a fan controller/motherboard, right?

Will this fit on the 780/Titan?

MrImSoGoodI don't get why someone who just bought a $1,000 CPU won't spend just under $300 to properly watercool it

A lot of us have no desire to water cool. If I change the cooler on mine it will be an Arctic Accelero Xtreme IV.

Not really an option for most people since the Accelero occupies 4 slots - 3.5 below the PCIe slot and one above the PCIe slot. Many mobos actually have a vrm heatsink above the first PCIe port and below the CPU so in order to install it in most motherboards you have to use the 2nd pcie slot, which means you lose performance with a x8 PCIe slot...which makes the "mod" pointless.

Well that went rather quick... more are on the way to other etailers right now.

Any going to Amazon? My preorder has been in pending status for over a month now lol. I thought when it went in stock on EVGA website it might mean my Amazon order was going to ship. Now outta stock at EVGA website and still no stock at Amazon :-(

Should I cancel my Amazon order and just wait for it to be in stock again at EVGA website?

No point in talking about the EVGA AIO kit for those of us dying to get one since they're never, ever, in stock for more than an hour a month.
 
Get the auto-notify email, hop on over, TOO LATE.
 
Same with third party vendors, Amazon is quoting "90 days" currently...sigh.  Can't understand how EVGA management knew the Titan X would be compatible, thus they must have known just about every Titan X owner would be interested in this instead of the blower...and yet they don't boost production or increase orders at all for the massive demand. 
 
Three months now trying to get one. Rediculous. 

Got mine from amazon. Took about 2 weeks. Got it last week. Place an order with them and cancel it of your lucky enough to buy directly from evga or vise versa

Really? Amazon must be just randomly fulfilling orders. I ordered from Amazon 5 weeks ago and it's still no ETA yet.

You ordered the aio cooler or titanX 5 weeks ago?

I was referring to the aio 980 hybrid. I placed an order 04/06 and got it a week ago. If I got one before you Amazon needs to not fulfill orders randomly.

In stock! http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=400-HY-H980-B1
 

Thanks for the update about the In Stock but mostly a Big Thank You for not Increasing the Price.

Yes, Thank You Jacob. Got 2 and looking forward to a paint job as well.
 
Side note, never got a notification from the evga product list. I had put in for notice twice.

Hey !
 
Just wondering for those of you who's already done the job, is it possible to NOT use the fan passthrough given by EVGA, leave the stock fan plugged in and put 2xCorsair SP120's (radiator fans) plugged into the mobo so i can create a custom profile ?
 
Feedback about this would be great.

That is what I am doing, But Store the Original 980 AIO Radiator Fan (400-HY-H980-B1) with the Original Parts from your Titan X.
Remember to that you will only have 4 Mounting Fan Screws and 4 Small Mounting Screws so you will need 4 LONG Screws to Mount the 2nd Fan on the Radiator. And Make Sure they are not so long that you screw them into the radiator and cause a leaks.
