No it does not.

1.5mm Hex Bit and 2mm Hex Bit. I had a little pack of screwdrivers already that I think I used on the Wii and/or a mobile phone so I was okay.

Awesome thanks bud, I shall pickup some when I'm out later

BTW the instructions are not brilliant. They start off well but when it comes to fitting the shroud its like the guy who did them had a brief to stick to 1 page double sided. Then getting near the end realised he was running out of space and its like a couple of pictures are missing.

The pump cable that goes to the fan header on the bottom right of the GPU. You need to feed the cable under the pipes at the top and round the top righthand side of the blower type fan curved wall on the outside of this wall. Make sure it follows the inside top of the cooler as the shroud has a little notch in for the cable to go through otherwise it will get trapped. Caught me out at first. Just make sure the cable does not get trapped when you put the shroud on. Its a bit tricky. Also make sure the two tabs with screw holes on nearest the DVI/DP ports goes on the inside of the cooler.

Awesome thanks for the notes, Also found a handy little video on Youtube, I know parts will be different but it should be roughly the same just for visual reference

KillBoY_UK · 22 Jun 2015 at 12:02

I cancelled my order for the hybrids sadly (stock being thin on the ground and no rime or reason to pre-order being filled out) and ordered a couple of Zotac Reference cooler models @ £530 each.

If they are to hot I can install my swiftech GPU only blocks and leave the cooling plates+fans on to handle the VRM's and VRM. Might look abit messy without a shroud but I dont have a window on my 700D case anyway lol

razorpakk · 22 Jun 2015 at 12:15

Still surprised many manufacturers can't keep up with demand at launch, losing potential customers.
Undecided between Inno3D Ultra, Gaming 6G and the Hybrid. It's not like any of those is available anyway.

P.S. I think Inno3D has the best value overall.

The video is a bit rubbish as it doesnt show the important bit. One minute he is showing you the underside of the block the next its fully assembled. Doesnt show how you fit the pump or where the wire routing goes.

Dont forget with Zotac's warranty is void if you take the cooler off.

Yeah I noticed that, I found another video that is a lot longer just for reference sake that shows the important stuff but it's got a few adult words in it that might make the mods have heart attacks if they hear it but it's informative

so SLI 980 Tis for a ROG Swift considered overkill?

always gone SLI been ages since ive been on a single card cant imagine not going SLI

AhadielGames · 22 Jun 2015 at 14:11

Gigabyte G1 980Ti and rest of my new parts finally here but can't finish building until tomorrow as I work nights on Monday

Boooo.

agnes · 22 Jun 2015 at 14:25

So, had 150+ Mhz on the core and 200+ Mhz on the memory, but had a couple of lockups last night whilst playing a few games. Not sure if it was the GPU.

What OC's are people running on the ACX 2.0?

I've not tinkered with voltage.

bemaniac · 22 Jun 2015 at 14:30

For 24/7 gaming I use +150 and +200. For benchmarking SLI I tried +300 and + 500 and nothing went wrong, the score was a good 11% faster too. I'm not wanting to go over 1550mhz though lol that's just not needed for anything at 4k at all.

Best thing is my screen isn't tiled multiple stream MST when on HDMI2.0 it's one panel yaaaaay no more driver problems with MST! I think I might need an HDMI lead capable of some 19gbps to be safe as current one dropped out a couple of times and got some interference lines. I just used the pink one sky gave me.

agnes · 22 Jun 2015 at 14:31

Yea, +150 and +200 is what I was running.

Probably just the games then, Dragon Age Inquisition which was loading new area. And Assassins Creed Black Flag when I was changing AA settings (my god that game is badly optimised!).

Possibly drivers then?

Five.Stars · 22 Jun 2015 at 14:43

Anybody with a g1 fancy measuring the dimensions of card for me?

Wondering if this would fit in my Corsair 250D. Looks unlikely, but would possibly get 1 if it fit.

Twice now when gaming I've had the screen go black and the monitor saying no input detected and then it goes into sleep mode. I can't do anything when that happens so I have to restart the computer.

Any idea what's going on?

I had something similar yesterday... Odd... Eventually goes back to desktop and I just force quit the game? Something like that?

Potential bug with drivers? I'm going to do a clean wipe tonight (oi oi chicken saveloy

)

This is an issue related to the 353.06, 353.12 and 353.30's it is not your graphics card
