I have a 980ti and I want to water cool it I'll list my 3 options and problems with them, tell me which you think is best
1.Corsair hg10 n989 + h75 , I heard the bracket is better than the kraken g10 but I heard this bracket had many problems also quick question with this one, can it fit NEW hydro series water blocks
2.Kraken g10 + h75 , the problem I have with this is that I heard vram isn't properly cooled, it's a pain to install, and that to me personally it's ugly
3. Evga Hybrid kit , again it's a pain to install, later I'm gonna sell my 980ti so it's gonna be a pain to reassemble or I can sell it as a hybrid, other than that no problem
 
Solution
I have a titan x hybrid and i personally love it, the temps are extremely low and it doesn't look bad. The tubes and fan are all black so nothing stands out. Personally i am a fan of the hybrid coolers. It performs pretty closely to my custom loop.

Are you planning on going to a Pascal card when they come out? If so then I would just wait as the coolers will probably not fit the new cards. If I had to chose I would go with option 3. Way better cooler (IMHO).
 


I am with you on this one. Much easier to deal with than the all in ones but that is my opinion. You can upgrade your graphics card easier unless you used hard line like I did. 🙁
