3 I went with Gigabyte as well, My card will arrive tomorrow.
Pretty sure  got a AIO from Gigabyte might have been waterforce can't remeber, and  got a sea hawk from MSI.

That would make it 4 then: you, triledog, seyumi and sheehan

I have an alert set for the Gigabyte 1080 Extreme Waterforce also. Whichever one is available to end up in my cart first will be the one I get.

Don't make me pull the trigger on MSI Seahawk EVGA, I'll do it!!!! I am Crazy like that!!!! You have till the end of the month. This is a promise not a threat! My heart can't take another soon (TM), it just can't :(.

Alerts don't work in time, the only way you'll get either cards, Gigabyte's or EVGA's whenever they release it, is by clicking on the actual page at the exact right time, OR, constantly spamming the refresh key all day everyday 24/7 AND EVEN STILL, you're competing with others doing the exact same thing, if not some coded piece of software.
 
MSI Seahawk is reference PCB FYI, since EVGA already released their DIY kits, you could just get a kit/cheaper reference card and voila, EVGA reference hybrid.

Too bad Hybrid kit for 1070/1080 went out-of-stock within the exact same time of any other card. I'm pulling the trigger: going with SeaHawk. I waited much too long, 2 month without gaming only to wait for this card... not worth it.

"if not some coded piece of software"... Yes, like something that continuously requests the product page and looks at the returned stock code, and if has stock sends me an email, txt, and pings my web dashboard, all with a link to the add to cart button... For sure "Alerts" don't work >_> I guess I'll assume you meant the notifications from EVGA, or Newegg, etc.
 
As for the EVGA 1080 GTX Hybrid... I'm just refreshing the product page randomly since I don't have the product number for it to automate and alert for it. Classy is now up on the page, but no Add to Cart or Notify me button.

I ordered the hybrid cooler kit for the gtx 1080. Does anyone know if I if it's compatible with reference backplate? I know I had to buy evga backplate for my 980ti hybrid kit. But I can't seem to find evga backplate for the 1080. Hope I can use the reference one.

Gratuitously overly macho Hybrid 1080 pic. Just waiting to get off duty and install it. Would rather it was an EVGA...
 

Did you have any coil whine even with 1000+ FPS?

EVGA's Hybrid 1080 kit lasted for a few days upon release, surprised it lasted that long.

I assumed the basic forms of notification, guess you missed out on the first wave then with your method? Still might be too slow though with others refreshing the item directly into their carts--but something is better than nothing if you don't have a choice.
