Stable at 2060 seems pretty decent, right on par, not every card is hitting 2.1. Also, performance wise it's pretty insignificant, maybe 1 frame if you were able to hit it, pretty negligible unless benchmarking is what you are into. If it's for gaming, you'll be thrilled.

i dunno . . . i'd be pretty let down with only 2060MHz. alot of aircooled cards are boosting themselves up to 2050-2101MHz without any OC'ing. my Strix 1080 boosts itself up to 2101MHz in OC mode and my Founders Edition peaked at 2153MHz.
 
i'm probably going to grab a Hybrid just to try it out. the Gigabyte Waterforce would've been a complete no brainer if it wasn't for that damn orange color scheme. it's the only ones that i've seen with a stable clock of over 2200MHz.

Tested my new EVGA 1080 FTW Hybrid while overclocking in my room with my ambient room temps at 84-88F & settled on a core at 2101mhz & memory at 5805mhz. Was able to get the core to 2125mhz stable but the memory OC was suffering a big hit though. After 20min of Heaven Benchmark looping my max top core temp was 47C with the room temp at almost 88F!
 
After turning on my air conditioning I got my room down to about 61-65F (I prefer 63-67F). After another 20min of Heaven Benchmark looping with the same settings my new max top core temp was 35C! During 3DMark benchmarking it did hit a max temp of 37C but that seems to use a little more of the card's power.
 
While multiboxing 10 World of Warcraft accounts at 2560x1600, I noticed the GPU was at only 50% usage & my core temps were only 30C.
 
The thing I can not get over is how QUIET this thing is. I can not tell the difference between idle noise and full GPU load noise from the computer at all. Even forcing the GPU fan to 100% from the default 50% or whatever its set to I could not hear the difference(the fan on the card itself which cools the video memory, can't control the radiator fan). I do have like 6 case fans, but I was expecting a low to medium noise difference while the GPU was under load from the radiator fan at least.  I had tried a 1080 FE earlier, but at 50-70% fan speed the noise it made was way too loud & annoying for my taste. My Hybrid has no coil whine either, I could not be happier.
 
The case fan I had to remove to fit my radiator/fan onto the roof of my case I ended up installing outside of my case on the top to "PULL" more air through the radiator making my setup a push/pull config. Ended up using the zipties that came with the card, wish I could link a picture on here but I don't have enough posts I'm pretty sure. I could not be happier with my purchase.

That's what I like to hear, those temps are insane! I also plan on putting my rad in the push/pull config.

@Vlada: I ordered a pair of ML120's too but they haven't arrived yet. Honestly, the cooler on the 1080 Hybrid is so quiet already. It is amazing how much quieter it is compared to the 980 Ti Hybrid. 

$25 per 120mm fan.  $35 for a pack of two.  Ouch.  If they are as magical as they say though, I will look at using some.  I guess buying in two packs is about the same as my Noctua fans.

Amazing card... Guy in street close to me bought 980Ti Hybrid before few weeks... He say incredible card.
Now when he see GTX1080 FTW Hybrid... But OK he payed 550 euro card.
 
To be honest I didn't expect so attractive GTX1080 model.
 
 
 

Imagine for radiators, 140mm incredibly silent 400-2000RPM.
That fan probably is very good, better performance for radiator is not possible.
 Maybe is this long waited game changer after Gentle Typhoon.
I think, how they work as case fans? 
 
Caseking still didn't get EVGA GTX1080 FTW Hybrid.
Only Hybrid kit for reference PCB.

im not 100% sure what you are saying. but they do make 140 to 120mm fan adapters, so you can use 140mm fan with these rads. on top of that i heard using a shroud/shim/spacer helps with the airflow and gives better temps. i am looking into some 7mm shrouds for my rads.

Vlada011
YES, YES, YEEEEEEEES!
I don't know but did you see new CORSAIR Magnet Levitation fans for Push-Pull for EVGA Hybrid.
I decide to buy two of them... 
 
28db on 2400RPM
 

 
That's impossible, if they are so silent we could keep them on 2000RPM...
They are 400-2400RPM
 

 
 
 
 
 
 

Wow. I was planning on getting 2 Gentle Typhoons, but that's just crazy, these fans must've been made by a wizard.

Nereus
 
Strange.. the ones I'm looking at are 2000RPM, not 2400.. even the Pro version.  ..Oh wait, they say 2000RPM control range, which means min 400, max 2400 rpm.
 
 
Airflow : 12 - 75 CFM

Static Pressure :0.2 - 4.2 mmH20

Sound Level :16 - 37 dBA

Speed : 400 - 2400 RPM

Power Draw :0.225 A
 
 
It appears the difference between ML120 and ML120 Pro is the rubber fan mount system.. I think...
 
 

Bingo the fine print

 
Oh wow ok I didn't realize.. from that tear-down video a few posts back, the guy said the fan mounted in the 1080Hybrid card itself sucks air from what would normally be the exhaust and blows it into the case, is that correct???

So I just finished watching the gamers nexus videos of the tear down and the review. I understand that EVGA has a better warranty and all of that. What I took from these two videos is that the price difference for the MSI is not worth it. So considering you can actually buy the MSI right now there is nothing about the EVGA that makes a big enough difference to keep waiting with no clue of when I can buy one.  If I am wrong please inform me of my misunderstanding so I can learn from it thanks. 

I don't think so, no. After all my research the thing that really seems to sway people with GPUs at this level is the small things like that. All these cards are within the ball park of each other when it comes to base performances, but there's tweaks involving better OC ability, temperature, voltage, aesthetics, and also availability, pricing of course those things are what win people over in the end. You're not going to curse your MSI when you buy it, they're all good products, that do their job which is give us amazing graphics.

Good of you to point us toward this channel but it just lost you a preorder...
 
Seahawk here I come!

I finally received my Hybrid and it is awesome! 55°C at full load. I have a question regarding the boost clock. What is the stock out of the box boost clock for this card? My card boosts up to 2025 MHz out of the box. I'm not complaining at all but it seems high to me.

It's rated at 1860MHz stock boost clock.
 
Looks like you won the silicone lottery.

Should have waited for the actual review...In the review he says EVGA Hybrid > MSI Seahawk.
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0a7qajig5Q

Yes, in the two review units he tested but I've gotten about 2150MHz stable on my SeaHawk which makes the differences overall negligible between the two when it comes to overclocking. Basically it comes down to the silicone luck of the draw. But the Hybrid is cheaper, has a custom pcb, more power phases and looks nicer.
 
The one thing that was concerning was when they removed the copper plate and re-tested the temps came down.
