There's a good chance that EVGA just waited to make all the hybrids the quick-disconnect version instead of the standard version & the quick-disconnect version later as originally planned. Find it strange how all the other manufactures got their AIO's out before EVGA when EVGA is like bigger than all of them combined for Nvdia GPU sales. This would not only give them the edge but cut down on the costs as well by not having an additional SKU to deal with.

I agree, it's either that or there having problems with how the quick disconnect system works. Plus the Hybrid kit is basically the hybrid verison, all they had to do was get FTW PCB slap a edited version of the hybrid kit cover or w/e and thats it, Yet it's taking this long. Something must be really wrong for it to take this long... I just don't understand why.

I would have done this, but my card boosts to 2174MHZ if I add +102MHZ to the core if i drop it down to +100MHZ it will fall to 2151MHZ and I'm very happy/stable there. So far I haven't seen one FE card get anywhere near that even on water. So I'm pretty sure the extra power is needed to get that stable or maybe silicon lottery/conservative memory over clock. I found If I pushed my memory to 11k MHZ I was no longer able to get above 2151MHZ, it became a brick wall of sorts and would throttle at times. So watch how hard you push your memory it starts to pull away from the core I noticed, or effect it in some way. However if I leave it at or below 10800MHZ I can go above 2151MHZ stable no problems without any throttling. I settled with 2151MHZ core/10800MHZ memory and very happy with how cool it runs at those settings, but I think a FE even on water will struggle to get that or might do it but will throttle after a bit from what I've seen online. the FTW should be able to do this on water NP, as long as the card is not a trash overclocker(silicon lottery).
 
Just my 2 cents/opinion, best luck guys.

Wow, nice overclock there!!
 I have an FE with a Hybrid kit installed, and just like you said, I can only eek out 2075Mhz from it.
The weird part is that our Heaven Benchmarks are so similar.

PasTecHi
Well no news on the seahawk 1080 n'or waterforce n'or hybrid on amazon so... i pre-ordered this.

If you get the FTW remember to wait for the FTW kit, the ref one one already released doesn't fit 6284 & 6286 FTW's, kinda sucks as there seems to have been lots of FTW cards in stock over the last few days.

I finally gave up on the hybrid and just ordered the FTW. Ill wait on the kit. bah.

I think your monster oc on your delidded i7 6700k@4.9GHZ(holy crap bro!!!) might be helping your numbers a tad, but I could be wrong.

jacob just repsonded to a person twitter account stating "@DHellscream HYBRID will be FTW spec, looking like may have some stock next week in US... still working on it." glad i went ahead and just bought the ftw. incredible
