Does anyone here who's installed the Hybrid kit on a 1070/80 get this loud constant pump noise, like a buzz? Mine is really driving me crazy, as I can hear it even in my kitchen 8 meters away.

i'm pretty positive that's not supposed to be happening. i would get in contact with an EVGA tech ASAP and get things situated. it looks like they have the Hybrid kits in stock, so sending u a new unit shouldn't be a problem.

Yesterday I managed to get through the billing page in the preorder process, after I waited a couple of hours. But I didn't go through with it, I decided to wait until next paycheck (since I now know the price and that it's actually possible to get it). Out of curiosity I checked the preorders today again, and got this: "The items for preorder has been sold out or no more are valid to preorder!" Hopefully are more to be released in about 2 weeks or so.
 
The price for 1080 FTW Hybrid is €819 (EVGA store), MSI 1080 Seahawk X is €923-€965 (official MSI retailers price in Sweden). According to the terms for EVGA the VAT is included in the price, so I expect their price not to change after an order is placed. Quite the difference, and I'm glad that I didn't get the Seahawk.

To my understanding EVGA does not bill when you make a pre-order, only when the item ships. On the last page of the checkout I think it said something like that the final price for the card and shipping will be determined when they are ready to ship. So I guess the price could still change.

I would love to get this hybrid Kit for a GTX 1080, but I know without a doubt us Aussies won't see such a kit here for a very long time, so I am just going to Sea Hawk it!

I talked to a rep yesterday and they told me they plan to ship the FTW Hybrids next week for those that got through with a preorder.

Mine are quite couple things to check make sure no wires hitting fan and take rad out and tip it upside down/right side up see if any air trapped.

GTX1080 with Hybrid kits are nicer than Founders Edition.
Only I don't like that SLI Bridge... Personally for me is ROG SLI Bridge nicest. 
Classic and clean. It would be nicer without logo... But NVIDIA is terrible.
 

 
 
 

I personally don't like any of the hard bridges including that one you posted they are all bulky and overlap the cards. I got nvidia for obvious reason it made to match FE and was the first available I pref floppy bridge look and paint it black.

Yeah, it said something along the lines that I won't be charged anything at the time of preordering. Regarding a change in price - I meant more along the lines of VAT/import fees/similar being added afterwards as it seems like they only don't take into consideration any fees related to ordering/shipping to outside of EU.

Corsair / MSI hybrid is available right now in the corsair store for $749 if anyone wants it. Looks like it only uses 1 8pin power connector, but it is a hybrid card and is currently in stock =D

Thanks! I managed to grab one. Just tired of waiting at this point for the Evga Hybrid 1080, didn't want to play the F5 game for the next several weeks trying to snag a pre-order. Of course, with my luck the Evga Hybrid will be readily available immediately after I receive the MSI card, so you are all welcome.

Cheers bro!
 
Let us know how well it works out.
They still seem to be in stock - There's a manufacturer that knows how to do a launch... or they just haven't been discovered yet xD
