I can see that it is not just one or two people complaining of this same problem. Wonder what caused this problem. Even returning to the original cooler won't help.

I have two FTW3 1080Ti hybrid kits from Amazon. They all work fine though. But during the installation, the metallic edge setup is not right on both of the shrouds. The metallic edge should be locked inside the shroud. It goes loose. I've posted the problem before https://forums.evga.com/FTW-3-Hybrid-Kit-is-kind-of-dangerous-m2741766.aspx   edit: two more things may be important, on the lower end of the metallic edge there is a black electrical tape to avoid direct connection to the PCB. The tape covers the red circle shown below.  Be sure to check the metallic edge to see if the electrical tape is there. Better cover the area with a tape if it's not. And does anyone notice this in the manual? The rubbers have a purpose placed in there.

Wow, thanks to SilentMarket's post I noticed the metallic edge was not in place as it should be and it does not have the tape. I may try a reinstall, but I fear no good will come of it since the OG air heat sink didn't solve the problem. Anyone want a reduced price 1080ti before I head to ebay?

Thanks to SilentMarket for the tip. But I don't think that solves the current problem.
I did follow stuff you mentioned in your post but didn't help.
Anything else you could recommend before I RMA my card?
I can't understand why a change of cooler completely messes up the performance of a GPU.
Hope someone comes up with a solution before I RMA mine.

Why? Shouldn't you be contacting evga for an rma if the card is not damaged from there faulty hybrid cooler?

I am awaiting their response about charging me extra for the plastic that was chipped off during the reinstall of the original heatsink (pictures on page 2 of this thread).
With the pictures I sent them, their response was that my warranty is now voided and they cannot help me.

Thanks to SilentMarket's! I dismantled this metallic edge and collected everything back, but it did not help ( I wrote a letter to the support team, I'm waiting for an answer from them..

You sure it wasn't caused by installing the hybrid cooler?? Cause the one link above outlined how the edge of the hybrid cooler can break that fan/led connector.

if there was a short circuit, then something burned .. now we will be helped only by the exchange of video card cards in the warranty service..

So I just completed the above tape maneuver. and at EVGA's suggestion I also re-seated the hybrid unit. No success for me. In fact, its worse. Early benchmarks are 50% the performance of my other 1080ti FTW3.

I've reassembled the stock cooler completely only to find the same issue. I guess something have completely altered the GPU by installing the hybrid kit.
I'm kinda concerned about getting a RMA because small bits of plastic got chipped off from the socket for LED control(although LED works well) during installation.
My local service center allows replacement to a new product within few weeks for initial defects of a product. I don't know if this will work or not but I still have to give it a try.

Called the technical support and they told me that the card is eligible for RMA.
I'm returning the cooler kit. I don't think I'll looking for another water cooler in the near future. Wasted my weekend because of this thing.

That would be my question as well... would be very skeptical to install it on the new card when it arrives.
I wonder if I can still return it to Amazon or not, it's almost been 30 days

Strange how on Amazon there's a lot of positive reviews on the cooler? Bad batch going around?

The problem with the Amazon reviews is that those reviews are not just for the 1080 Ti FTW3 kit, but also the kits for the 1080, 1070, and FE.

Hi just got my AIO FTW3 kit from Newegg and had a quick look at the rear of the shroud where you have the metal grill. All seems to be OK with mine, nothing seems to be protruding and the tape is in place although it looks poorly applied and that area could still make contact with PCB in certain circumstances. I'll apply some PVC tape to the shroud or PCB just to be on the safe side during installation. And for the record given the issues raised here I'm going to be extremely vigilant when installing the kit just in case the same issues arise as the others.
I'll post back when I get to it but heatwave conditions over the next few days so will prob wait until its a bit cooler.

Do shroud only.. wouldn't want it on the pcb as it would void warranty if you can't get it off cleanly.

My installation went fine as far as i know. The voltages are good on load, but my last rma on fan had the same issue everyones been having on here, it might have been a previous hybrid upgraded card maybe.
SilentMarket
I have two FTW3 1080Ti hybrid kits from Amazon. They all work fine though.
But during the installation, the metallic edge setup is not right on both of the shrouds. The metallic edge should be locked inside the shroud. It goes loose.
I've posted the problem before
https://forums.evga.com/FTW-3-Hybrid-Kit-is-kind-of-dangerous-m2741766.aspx
edit:
two more things may be important, on the lower end of the metallic edge there is a black electrical tape to avoid direct connection to the PCB. The tape covers the red circle shown below.
Be sure to check the metallic edge to see if the electrical tape is there. Better cover the area with a tape if it's not.
And does anyone notice this in the manual? The rubbers have a purpose placed in there.
You can find the rubber inserts in the same zipper the pump sticker was in, I did not notice it until i found it on the ground somewhere and installed it on later. Also keep in mind theres a cable youcan easily pinch when installing the screws in, and its a LED cable I think
Well even before opening the clear sachet I can only see 1 rubber and I know there small so wouldn't surprise me if it was just missed. Yeah I checked the sachet thoroughly and opened it to see if it was hidden behind the pump sticker. Also the manual is hardly clear. I'm looking at the online manual and zoomed in and couldn't see clearly exactly where the rubbers go and what there purpose is. Can anyone clarify the purpose of the rubbers and exactly where they go??? Thanks

and here I'am about to start asking why is it that EVGA is so backed up on the 1080Ti's especially the elite ones!  no where to be found.  I guess I just better sit this one out and wait until they're in a normal pace production.

I've talked with my local service center today and will be getting a replacement for my 1080ti card tomorrow.
I was told by some expert in a forum that the issue of clock speed not going over 1569mhz and system locking up after overclock is related to tension inside the graphic card.
He said the a disassembled graphic card should be re-assembled in a way that provides exactly the same tension and placement to the core and the card itself. Possible changes in the tension applied to the core and the card after re-assembly can be the cause of malfunction.
I think this is a quite possible cause one may have tightened the screws too much or too little which can alter the configuration of the card.
For those experiencing this issue should try to reassembly your card again properly. You should also try to put the thermo pads at the right place as much as possible. I cannot guarantee it will solve the problem but it is worth trying.
