Fair warning, MSI warranty sucks big time.  No modifications whatsoever are allowed - not even switching out the radiator fan - crazy!  Also, warranty is not transferable to second owners.

MSI warranty is based on time (three years) from the production date of the card.  That date is located in the S/N.  It is not from the date of the purchase, but there is no restriction as to the the number of owners.

Except not everyone can buy from EVGA's own website, currently the only place that sells the 1080 FTW Hybrid and Hybrid kit.

ShopBLT, Jet, and NewEgg sell the Hybrid kit PN: 400-HY-5188-B1

That isn't the FTW Hybrid kit he was talking about.  That is the reference PCB kit.  Unless he also meant the regular kit, in which case I apologize.

I knew about Newegg, but as I mentioned somewhere else, as soon as I change shipping destination to my country the kit gets removed from the cart.
 
Didn't know about ShopBLT or Jet, neither came up when I searched for the kit. However, ShopBLT wants front and back images of my card, whereas Jet.com showed nothing when I put in PN.

Ah, thanks.  I must be getting the MSI warranty confused with another manufacturer.  Either way, the EVGA warranty is still way better :P

Installed a 1080 Hybrid today. Phenomenal job, EVGA! The shroud was a little creaky, didn't seem up to par with the usual industry leading build quality, but the performance is stellar so far. Love running at 2,114 MHz core and 11,016 MHz mem stable over an extended stress test without exceeding 47C. The overclocking is on par with what I had seen on my Classified, but with MUCH lower temps (obvs). This one is a winner! And man, is the temptation to Hybrid SLI strong. Must. Resist.

Pics??

NVIDIA is only for the original owner and not transferable.  I do agree that eVGA is better overall as well.

Well I have installed my Hybrid and I have had it running for 2 Days at 2126Core and 10,800Memory.  I love this card, it has replaced my since sold  GTX 780 SLI setup.  I am running at ~49C now with Dual ML120 Fans in a Push Pull on a fan controller.  The best part is my office is not 90degrees anymore. and my power usage went from 795Watts gaming to 420Watts.  The wait is worth it, however I do think I am going to be buying another Hybrid, I just miss SLI, still need to decide on a case though.

No prob fitting the 2 hybrid coolers up top in a thermaltake core x9 case. Thats what will house mine tomorrow when I get my 2.
