I just installed hybrid kit for 3080 ftw3 and ran into a problem. Once a minute or so radiator fans spin up to 2500 - 3000 rpm for a few seconds and then go down. Very annoying. I tried custom curve in precision x1, the silent one, and it still does it. Anyone ran into same issue?

EVGA_JacobF Here is the BIOS updates to turn the card into a HYBRID. Each .zip includes 2 files. One for Normal BIOS and one for OC BIOS. Only install this update if the HYBRID kit is installed. 3080 FTW3 HYBRID Kit BIOS = 3090 FTW3 HYBRID Kit BIOS =
Is this one XOC version or I have to install the XOC separately after installing this one?

I'm confused. Wouldn't this overwrite the Hybrid BIOS? Is there an XOC BIOS for the Hybrid? I'm expecting my hybrid kit tomorrow for my FTW3 3080 and I want to get it right.

There is, check the OP on the 3080 XOC thread. There is an XOC bios for Hybrids. Once you convert an air card to hybrid with the conversion bios above the you flash the Hybrid XOC bios (if you want to have a 450w power limit).

Yep, I figured it out. Thanks for the answer.

jamexr Its meant for FTW 3 Ultras (the ftw hybrids have the same clocks as ftw3 ultras). I have done it already on mine and it's fine, matter of fact, Precision x1 recognizes the card now as FTW3 Ultra hybrid.
Thanks! Can you just confirm if this is the proper order to update OC BIOS for FTW3 Ultra XOC Hybrid : 1. Make sure 3080 FTW3 Ultra is set to OC mode using switch. 2. Flash 3080 FTW3 Ultra using OC file within https://www.evga.com/EVGA/GeneralDownloading.aspx?file=3080_FTW3_HYBRID.zip3. Flash 3080 FTW3 HYBRID XOC Bios from https://www.evga.com/EVGA...?file=3898_BIOS_OC.zip Once these steps are done. Do we need to update to Precision X1 1.1.3? or is 1.1.2 fine? Thanks!

Okay this isn't working for me. Originally I had flashed teh Hybrid XOC bios first and it flashed fine. I tried flashing 2 and then went to step 3 and it doesn't detect a compatible card. Edit: Silly me, didn't reboot my computer.

Hi, And for those who will convert to full water block - do we need also switch our bios? Thank you in advance, Sergey

Hey Jacob, thanks a lot for posting these. Any chance you could create a thread dedicated just to the FTW3 Air -> Hybrid conversion steps that links to these .zips, and includes the order of operations for people in this scenario? (e.g. flash the normal and OC BIOSes from these zips, then install the Hybrid XOC BIOS) There are still lots of questions floating around in other threads and I think a new one from you, similar to how you made one for the XOC Beta BIOSes, would help to clarify things for the community. Thanks!

Are there any revert flashes to flash it back to 3090 FTW instead of the hybrid? The hybrid bios reduced my port royal scores by 1000.

Look here. https://www.overclock.net...0-owners-club.1753932/
Lifesaver! Thanks! I found the bios and was able to revert from there.

I reverted to original bios as well. Hybrid bios is so much worse.

Yeah those Hybrid bioses Jacob posted are great (LEDs work properly, fans show 2 instead of 3), but the fans are really not good. It looks like the OC bios fan speeds are set to a minimum 40%, and the normal bios won't allow fan 1 to go below 20%. I reverted back to the aircooled bios and can set my fans the way I like again. Btw, last time I tried plugging all four radiator fans (Noctuas) into the hybrid fan header pigtail and they were locked at 1500rpm.

Using this hybrid kit is unbearable. No matter what I do, even if I set all fan speeds statically, it keeps ramping up to 100% speed every minute.

Brotha, same here! I already filed for a refund. I am not even sure I will consider an RMA. It was a b***tch to install. And I do not want to go through that again. It must be a software issue or something. I have no idea how some people are getting it to work. I have a ftw3 Ultra. I had the same problems. Did you have a ftw3 Ultra? If so, this can be for our Ultra models!

This could mean that the ultra models and hybrid kits are not supported with current firmware and software! We solved it dude! Maybe. Idk. Someone needs to verify that they used an Ultra model.
