I got 1 coming soon. Is there a way to control the pump speed?

This went pretty smooth, photos below.
 
Some key points:
 

• The thermal "rubber" on the VRM's is a pain in the ass to clean off.  It flakes.  I used a spudger from an iFixit kit to clean it all out
• The tubes are crisscrossed for front mounting, kinda weird. my 1080 Ti Hybrids weren't like this but it's not a big deal, shouldn't cause any issues.
• Don't freak out once you startup.  The pump will be loud and gurgle for about 3-4 minutes as all the air moves out into the radiator, if doing a top mount that probably won't last as long.  As GN says, don't do a bottom mount.  The pump will be way noisier than the fans if you do that.  After the bubbles move out it's silent, contrary to other posts I saw on here about the 2080 hybrid kits. 
• I didn't replace the TIM on the pump, looks to be solid so far

My results are good, switched from my uV normal profile to the 450w OC profile, saw an improvement of 900 pts with a decent overclock (+125 GPU, +300 mem) in Port Royal, and temps never above 60.  Very pleased but didn't get a lot of time to play with it.   I am using 2 corsair ML fans and am using the commander pro to control them instead of the GPU.  Still going to tweak the profiles a bit and see if I can turn up the pump speed by increasing the "black" connector fan speed.

So the thermal rubber doesn’t come off with standard arctic TIM remover? Thanks.

Yeah, its in between the VRM's and that's kinda .2/.3 mm gap there so a PITA to clean. 

hi all
i installed the kit on my ftw3 ultra, downloaded the 3080 FTW3 HYBRID Kit BIOS. I am running precision 1.1.4 so the cards firmware is up to date with the Ultra XOC 450 watt bios.
I ran as admin.
Got this error.
 
ERROR: Unable to set-up NVFLASH driver (0x00000005)
Detailed :Access is denied.

Please note this error and contact your display adapter manufacturer's
technical support line.  It is important that you leave your system ON and NOT
reboot until instructed by your manufacturer on how to proceed.

Make sure you are running as admin. Right click and select "Run as Admin"

OK i am half way there. i used nvflash ans put the default normal bios on then i was able to install the hybrid kit normal  and it worked.
I used nvflash to flash the original oc bios back on but when i rebooted and tried to install the OC hybrid kit bios i got this error

this is the file 3080 FTW3 HYBRID Kit BIOS = https://www.evga.com/EVGA...e=3080_FTW3_HYBRID.zip
is there a .rom of this kicking around? i could try that instead of the exe.
 
working now thank all

Anyone have the bios .ROM's for the ftw3 ultra hybrid kit?
 
 
 
 
thanks
 

i got it figured out thanks for all the help!!!! i had to put the hybrid kit "normal" on the oc switch then flash with XOC "OC" hybrid and it worked. big difference! port royal score went up 700 points.

After you apply the above BIOS you can flash the higher power BIOS that is in the sticky threads.

Somethng's wrong, but it isnt allowing me to flash the XOC Hybrid bios for my FTW3 on either OC or Normal, after flashing the above referenced Hybrid BIOS. The versions show up correct as .46 and .47, but now I am getting No adapters found when trying to flash the XOC.

Should I change to the XC3 Hybrid BIOS? I've read some reports of issues. What are the advantages?

Anyone know what the RPM of the fans that come with this kit? I want to swap over 2 of my ML120's so it matches in my system. 

I converted my xc3 3090 and used the hybrid BIOS provided by EVGA Jacob to 3090 XC3 Hybrid. Everything works fine, but I’m noticing really high idle wattage at around 180-220watts on desktop with no intensive programs. Before converting bios to hybrid kit BIOS, the graphics card wattage would be 20- 40 watts.The temperatures seem fine but I was wondering if their will be a update for the 3090 xc3 hybrid kit BIOS that would fix idle power wattage to the 3090 hybrid kit. It seems 180-220watts on idle would be too much power consumed from 3090.

Install of the kit was simple. Updated BIOS on my 3080 XC3 Ultra was a breeze to the hybrid BIOS mentioned earlier. Undervolt now down clocks the GPU when mining Ethereum. Unable to encounter the downclock in any other scenario including gaming. Be warned people :).
 
Anyone have the link to the standard 3080 XC3 Ultra BIOS?

I don’t believe a fix has been provided yet. I keep checking back and many have mentioned the issue but official responses have been nearly non-existent. It would be nice to have a fix other than plugging your fans into your mobo as a work around. I would also like the original BIOS to downgrade road I intend to go full water at a later date.

Having the mb control them is the way to go to avoid the high speed fan issue, and it frees up a couple watts to the GPU. I actually have my rad fans plugged into a power commander (as opposed to mb) which icue manages based on GPU temp.

 
I swear we are the same person...

Thanks for sharing the pics.  I'm using the same case, and the case is one of the reason's why I'm on the fence in purchasing the 3080/3090 FTW3 Hybrid Kit.   I did think of the same configuration as you, because mounting the rad on the bottom is not an option... unless I went a custom loop with a res and D5 pumps... I prefer a pull configuration rather than push on a radiator for maintenance reasons, but I don't mind push to flex the RGB in front of the case... lol.
 
How is this set up working out for you so far?  Is the pump still performing the same from when you 1st installed it, or does it sound different? and how do you get to the magnetized dust filter in the front of the case for maintenance?
