If I were to disable the LED Logo on a founders edition card (1080ti) using Nvidia's little tool does it stay disabled permanently?  For example if I was to boot into another OS or the UEFI will it still be off even after a power cycle?
 
I've always unplugged LED's on my previous cards so I have no idea if the setting sticks.  It's easier to unplug the light before installing the card, but I'd rather not fuss with it if I don't have to.
 
Thanks in advance.

    Hmm so EVGA xoc sticks but led visualizer doesn't?As I have set a color on my current card led with xoc. Right now I don't even have xoc installed but it's still on that color.

    The founders edition cards work differently than the cards that allow color change. Software isn't the deciding factor.

    Wow the FE cards are really easy to work on.  I got the LED unplugged easy, but I'm now looking at the construction and I am 99% sure the 1080/1070 Hybrid kit (EVGA 400-HY-5188-B1) would fit on the card minus the shroud/baseplate (pics below).  I think I might order one! 
     
    Hopefully these pictures will be useful for someone in the future to Clean, Change Thermal Paste or install a Hybrid Water Cooling kit on the GTX 1080 Ti Founders Edition:

     Note: It is not be necessary to remove the fan shroud to pull the heatsink.

    Well if you follow Gamers Nexus, you will see they did exactly that.

    So yes it does mean that you don't have to wait for the proper 1080ti hybrid kit.
