Hi all,
 
My 1080 Hybrid tube is damaged and I am looking to replace it with new length of soft tubing.  Can anyone please let me know the ID/OD dimensions of the stock tube?
 
Thanks.

    Why wouldn't you rma the card or buy a separate cooler? You shouldn't be modifying your card, as it will ruin your warranty and possibly your system.

    Sorry Scarlet-Tech, I didnt respond to you earlier. 
    The reseller wont RMA the card because "The manufacturer wont accept non-production line defects" and as for a separate cooler well that's expensive when all I may need to do is replace a section of tubing. 
     
    All this for a small pinprick in the side of a tube :(

    Is the product part of a pre-built system or is it a separate purchase? You may want to contact EVGA directly, as they may be able to assist you.

    Right now your EVGA video card has a warranty.  If you remove, modify, or replace the tubing, you may not be able to have any defect or damage replaced under warranty.  Call or email EVGA.  Don't do anything until you have talked to EVGA directly.
     
    Please answer the question and do not consider replacing the tubing at this time.

    Hy tyrelever,
     
    The others were right in the fact that modifying the cooler will void your warranty; which means that we cannot offer any of these details to you in this forum as we cannot make recommendations that are would fall into this realm, and I wouldn't want any passersby to get the wrong idea. 
     
    If you would like to submit a support ticket for this unit, making sure to mention that you understand that this action is outside of the warranty terms, and we can try to request these details from our product management team.
     
    If we are able to provide them to you, you may do as you please (it's your card after all ), however EVGA would assume no responsibility at that point for the consequences of that decision.

    Sigh. Yes ok, ok.  I've stated many times now I get it.  No warranty, but the card I am using at the moment isn't covered by warranty anyway so yes. I get it.
     
    Ill submit a support ticket if you feel this is the best way to get an answer.
     
    Thanks.

    Would you please explain how the card isn't covered by warranty?

    Warranties for any KR Model cards (last letters in the part number) come with a fully transferable 3 year warranty.

    KB models do as well, but since best buy doesn't sell the hybrid, that isn't the case.

    RX models come with 1 year transferable warranties.

    The card came out in june/july... so it can't be out of warranty unless it is physically damaged by water or has been dropped. If either was the case, what is the point of repairing the hose on a completely dead card?

    Since warranties are transferable, if this is a hybrid card, then you should be covered.

    If this is a standalone hybrid kit, the 1070/1080 kit wasn't released until after the hybrid version was out, meaning it would be under warranty. If the kit was from a 900 series, it may be out of warranty, but that is something you can check and verify with the guest rma tool (www.evga.com/guestrma) type in the serial number there.

    You seem very adamant to avoid using the EVGA warranty system. I could understand if the product was stolen and you were avoiding being caught with stolen products, but who would come to the forum and ask about this rather than just trimming the house and measuring it themselves, since that is pretty much what would need to be done anyway.

    Sorry we can't help, but you are sticking to your guns of wanting to cut the hose.. if you are determined to replace it, cut and measure it, why wait for EVGA to tell you what a micrometer or tape measure can? You'll need to replace the fluid with what EVGA uses so you don't clog the pump or radiator. Make sure to bleed it well also, as air bubbles can kill pumps.

    Going to be difficult to refill it fully though since it is normally a closed loop, so there's no refill port etc. Sounds like a challenge. :)   ..personally I'd just go for some marine cement and patch the existing hose if it's only a pinprick leak, and use a syringe to replace any lost fluid.

    Good point Nereus, didn't think of that.  I might indeed try that and see how it goes, cheers!
     
    Scarlet-Tech.  Look, you are making quite a few assumptions and yes I have already contacted support.  Yes, the tubing is damaged but no the card isn't dead.  Nothing to do with stolen cards (thanks for the passive aggressive jibe by the way).  What you are suggesting is what I am trying to avoid.  I do not want to trim any housing, I am wanting the proper tube measurements so I can potentially make a clean tube transition with a few compression fittings etc.  If this is not possible then its not possible but I though id ask the question at lest.
    I am not stupid, I fully understand how a warranty system works and what is and is not covered.  I am not going to waste my time and considerable cost shipping the card internationally just to have it denied due to preexisting damage.  Again, I thank you for your willingness to help but please, just let it go.
     
    Thanks again guys.

    Good luck and let us know how it goes.

    P.s. EVGA is known for having the best warranty practices in the market. That was never an assumption, which is why I explained it.
