Jet.com just shipped my Hybrid out earlier today. supposed to be here around Thursday-Sat.

no regrets with the gigabyte 1080 waterforce, glad I took the chance.

man i keep checking this site and new egg for the launch of this card with no luck. built a whole new pc all i need is a 1080 and i cant decide on the evga 1080 hydro , the asus stric oc 1080 and the zotac amp extreme 1080   

isn't the EVGA Hydro made for systems with a custom loop watercooling system? the Asus Strix OC's are like unicorns. the regular Strix has been available, but not the OC model. i've seen it only once in like a month, or more, and it disappeared right away.

i could be wrong but isnt the EVGA 1080 hydro an AIO style water cooler not the coustome loop one?

that's the Hybrid that has the AIO cooler for the chip and a fan to cool the VRAM's. the Hydro Copper is full waterblock setup that's ready for a custom loop system.
 
post away. =P

on youtube they did a breakdown of the 1080 hybrid (ftw) and it has a copper plate that extension. technically the pump cools the chip and vram.

Wow! That looks great. No more orange!!

If you are satisfied that's most important.
But for now this is the one of most serious and most elegant GPU I ever saw.
When I build clean PC for me even before few years I always wished similar GPU.
This is probably Obsidian 450D from and RIG of one member from EVGA Forum.
 

@Systom- nice job that looks pretty sweet. Still no issues of excessive pump noise or anything? I'm tempted to try a Gigabyte too, to see if it clocks much faster than my Hybrid. My max stable core OC is 2038mhz. 
 
@Vlada011- that build is mine, I love the all black / hint of gunmetal color of the whole system. I've since replaced the stock H80i GT CPU cooler fans with two ML120's and cleaned up a couple cables + tied them down. The ML120 is the real deal, so quiet compered to the SP120. I was going to get another one for the Hybrid but I'm happy with the stock fan honestly. It is much quieter compared to the 980 Ti Hybrid Kit and my temps rarely exceed 50 degrees. Usually hover at 46-48 while gaming. 
 
*Edit- kind of embarrassed by that AX1200, lol. I know it is totally unnecessary. Used to run 780 and 780 Ti Classifieds in SLI and just kept the PSU. If it ain't broke, don't fix it I say.
