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

The Hybrid is way quieter than the SAW. The M249 is, sadly, air cooled, and factory limited to 800 freedoms (hURTz) per minute. Afraid to OC it on air, but the GPU is stress testing now...
 
That thing is beautiful, Systom. Understated and graceful.

"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 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

Nope, I didn't have any alerts setup previously because I've been waiting for the EVGA 1080 GTX Hybrid. The point is the Gigabyte 1080 Extreme Gaming Waterforce looks to be just as good, if not better, than what is expected from the EVGA 1080 GTX Hybrid so I'm done waiting on EVGA. Unless EVGA can get the lead out and actually launch the product before the Gigabyte 1080 Extreme Gaming Waterforce is back in-stock I'll probably end up getting that. I would honestly rather get the EVGA card but they are really dragging their feet with this release and I'd like to finally be able to play all of the higher resource intensive VR games sitting in my library that my GTX 770 just can't quite handle without dropping to reprojection.

Honestly don't blame you, my finger is getting very itchy. I mean, look at this thread's page count for crying out loud, it's obviously the most wanted card, so why is it not in top priority? I can only assume they must have run into some sorta problem beyond overall shortages, why else can't they reveal ANY information just yet? It's strange... The most appealing thing to me about Gigabyte's card is the full coverage, they got EVGA beat on that one big time.

and trilegdog got a sea hawk from MSI.

No, I didn't.  Sorry, but thanks.  

I ment thejinx.sheehan I fixed the post sorry bud... oops 

I'm feeling a bit bad now... I couldn't wait anymore and just ordered an EVGA 1080 FTW as it was available at a german shop  :> Well, this way I will have it in my hands for the last 4 days of my holidays next week and I will probably get me an Hybrid Kit on Christmas - they should be available by then xD

Forgive me if this question has been answered fellas but I'm in somewhat of a hurry. Does the new 1070/1080 hybrid kits come with the VRM cooler/fan? If I'm looking to get the kit in the future I might aswell get a ACX 3.0 right now. Anybody?
 
I got the ACX 2.0 980Ti back when and could never find somebody selling a separate reference blower to match the kit so I never got around to it.

If you look at the product page it shows the eVGA fan.  It also lists the regular and SC cards as compatible, so it will work.

EDIT:

Hot Damn! Didnt even see that logo! This is confirmed then? I know my 980ti was "compatible" aswell cause it was a built on a reference board, but you still needed that blower.
