I just want a stable bios for my hybrid kit card 3080 xc3 ultra, can u link to me the right bios i need to use please'

yes with 94.02.26.88.92 my problems gone, the only proble is the pump noise... i changed fans with 2 noctuas!

man use noctua any day, the fatory ones are orrible, u need noctua with high static pressure the F ones

Anyone know if I can run Noctua NF-A15 HS-PWM fans off the XC3 hybrid fan controller?  Ran out of spots on my motherboard to plug any more fans in.    And I do not want to go down the route of getting a commander pro that will not play well with my x570 without a internal USB hub.

No, i don't think u can do it, it's different attach and you may have problems for voltage/ current, but not sure, wait someone suggestion too

Just finished the install. Thanks to the Youtube videos of people breaking the connectors I was able to avoid that mistake.  Took forever to clean off all the thermal putty.  And I don't know how many times I cussed those small IO screws as they would jump out of my hand.
 
Kept the stock fans.  With my system at full load I measure about 44 db on my phone.  With the cooler fans cranked to 100% I get just above 45 db.  It was not worth it at this point to reconfigure my system software so I could go with Noctua fans.  The Argus Monitor software is very nice, but I am happy with my Asus Fan Expert 4.  When I change cases it will be something to look at.
 
Strangely enough running Precision X1 did not prompt me to update firmware after the install.  I will probably flash the techpowerup vbios after I know things are stable.  The change in cooling on both the CPU and GPU were dramatic.

My hybrid converted 3080 XC3 ultra is idling with 20w power draw. My monitor is G-SYNC 145hz, NV control panel at defaults. Did you use the bios from tech power up? Maybe that would fix it.

Shoutout to you my man, that resolved it. 
 
94.02.42.80.3A = 185W idle
94.02.26.88.92 = 21W idle
 
G-SYNC enabled, 144Hz. Thank you for the feedback guys, this was a headscratcher.

I tried to go directly to Techpowerup VBIOS Version 94.02.26.88.92, but it would not allow it due to a  mismatch.  
I was able to flash the bios from EVGA_Jacob to get me to 94.02.42.80.3A, which I understand is not the best version.  Considering it was at 180w at idle I understand why.
After a reboot I was able to use the TechPowerup one and am 35W board power again.
 
temps seem to be lower, but I am getting a lot more variation in card utilization at idle.  Need to do some reboots and benchmarking.

PX1 now recognizes it as a hybrid card.
 
Also seems the higher temp was either I had a custom fan curve or the default fan curve has changed.  I am 32C with 30% fan and the temp is still dropping.  I'll update the post in the morning with the final temp.
 
Update:  Overnight my system stabilized at 30C in a 21C room.  Considering my radiator has half a fan obstructed by my Air cooler I am happy with the results.

Hello everyone, someone from EVGA or knowing the subject well can answer a question that I ask myself? What is the use of the BIOS update presented by Jacob or techpowerUP for people updating their cards with the Hybrid kit?

Because I went to inquire I could not find information to convince myself, I also went to see the product sheet on the EVGA site of the RTX 3080 XC3 HYBRID, and the frequencies are identical to the basic one, namely the RTX 3080 XC3 ULTRA. What does this update really bring?

Because I seem to know that a saying says that "If everything works, don't touch!"
 
Nevertheless it seems interesting on the part of EVGA to offer update kits to upgrade the customers' product.
After my side I still remain very skeptical of these kits although they are excessively interesting, I am still convinced that we can do better.
 
I'm waiting to see what EKWB and Alphacool will offer, I know that they announced AIO GPU kits last September. I contacted Alphacool last week and learned a little more
The proposed kits will be AIO GPUs with 360mm radiator only no 240mm, 280mm planned according to them, pump and Full-Waterblock (GPU, Memory, VRM and coil) Exactly the same Waterblock for a custom loop, available within 2 to 3 months on the main GPUs (FTW3, MSI SUPRIMX, ..) is the middle / entry level will come a few weeks later (XC3, ..).
 
These are new Alphacool Eiswolf 2 models, they were after the person I had, totally redesigned, So we can assume that they will be different from the first visuals of a few months ago

ok, i installed evga hybrid kit on 3080 ftw3 ultra. I am NOT able to flash hybrid bios from EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 XOC BIOS BETA thread, its says no display adapter found.... no matter if its normal\OC.
 

I have the same problem. I did these steps :
 
- install the original 3080 ftw ultra bios in normal (no problem)
- rebooted pc and switched to OC 
- try to install the Ftw3 ultra 3080 hybrid OC version ( Then i get : No display adapter found that are compatible with this update)
 
Tips ? 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Thanks! I installed the hybrid kit and updated the FW with the FTW3 version thinking all was good until I saw this thread. Everything looks good in X1 now. Should a 3090 be running in the mid 70s with settings on max when running ARK and GTAV? It gets so toasty. 
I am not completely familiar with how monitor setups can effect the load, but I am running 4 1440 monitors. 2 are 144, 1 is 100, and the other is 240. 

Well, found the answer after all here:

Only thing the different bios does is indicate in PX1 you have a hybrid. Does not support Rebar and OP indicated it shows 2 fans vice 3 as well in PX1. I think I can live without those items.

Very cool. I didn't know a BIOS conversion was needed for Air--to--Hybrid GPUs.

Hybrid cooler on 3090 XC3 Ultra is working better than expected, no need to update bios at all, have rebar, OC better and maintains less than 60c while gaming with default settings. Threadripper 3960x system with 64gb of ram.
 
Took my time when installing, no major change over issues, instructions I think is missing some convenience steps. At times I was holding the board after plugging in the fan/led cables and trying to open a package for the paper washers and install them (failure on my part for not thinking ahead). Anyways those paper washers are sticky on one side and could have been done before plugging in the plugs. No biggy.
 
After installing into computer, after pulling out an AMD card using DDU, tried to load newest Nvidia drivers and got a blank screen when installing and Windows would take over 10 min to load afterwards (this was painful, initially kept rebooting until I just left it on and did something else and came back greeted by Windows log on screen. 3dMark was a slideshow, 8-10fps. Repeated DDU, turned off rebar in the bios . . . Painful. Went back one driver version and everything works and working really good. Thought I messed up the card. Somehow the driver was corrupted or has issues with my setup. 
 
My vram junction temperature actually went down for mining. Card is not currently being used for mining nor planned at this time as a note. This is really a good product and exceeded my expectations, very good deal if you don't mind tinkering a little.

Did this issue ever get resolved? Has their been a fixed/updated "official" hybrid bios? Does anyone even know?
