I actually bought GTX 1070 SeaHawk X and send it back immediately, it had a ridiculous coil whine in my silent build. The second problem was the fan no where to be controlled base on the GPU temp. Other wise the card peformed well, i didn't OC it manually i only used the MSI app. My low temp was 30C and max 49-54C (depend on the fan RPM) it was running 1200RPM most of the time giving me a result of 54C. And yes it was so quite i could've hear a small coil whine even when not gaming.
If my first EVGA card dream wont happen then i will still go for the MSI instead of Gigabyte Waterforce, simply because you have to cut the fan cable in order to install a custom one which make no sense in my opinion.

So, the Waterforce fan can't be changed out unless you cut and re-wire? That's pretty stupid for a card that cost that much.
 
I wonder how loud the stock fan is.

Yah, unfortunately i can't post any Youtube link which is annoying. But serach on Youtube: GIGABYTE GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming Waterforce - Fan test

I was about to go with SeaHawk X too, but for no apparent reason MSI delayed shipment for that model so now I have either to wait until 29 July or hope to get an Hybrid card before that day.

Actually the seahawks come with the founders pcb and it already comes overclocked. Where was the coil wine coming from? Not from the watercoolerkit right?

Hello EVGA! :-) When will EVGA 1080 hybrid on the Slovak market? (Slovak Republic) Thanks so much for answers.

Look at this... Thursday July 14 on newegg for 769.99?

i have a love hate with the gigabyte. 
 
Love: it has HDMI ports on the back of the card, for VR needs in the future. The fan control software looks to control the rad fan (evga fan control only controls card fan, rad fan is set speed).
 
Hate: cant change rad fan out

Another soon lol

I can confirm 100% it's Coil Whine, i tried to play games like Tomb Raider with my PG279Q and the coil whine was insane unless i lock the frame to 60FPS. But hey what's the point of my 165Hz monitor if i need to lock the frame rate in order to avoid the coil whine?

I just saw that too. Good luck trying to get one though.

769.99 im not sure....if it was 749.99 then ye.... lol

144hz here i know the struggle of that :')
My other struggle is my 970 having to lower graphics to maintain that 144fps xD
But there are some people that have coil wines and some doesnt...maybe you had the bad one :s
The video  petmic send from the 1080 waterforce noice im not sure if its the 1080 waterforce or 980ti because they are being released on the newegg market tomorrow so i am not sure if that video is legit 1080 or not


The problem is, it's not even 50 / 50 to get a good GPU with out a coil whine. It seem like most of the 10x0 serie GPU having this issue (if you serach on google). How ever, i have faith in EVGA i know they are really good company and their support is the best, that's why i'm here. I never had a EVGA GPU before, i'm trying to move from Asus product to EVGA.

'Soon' is actually a bad sign. I think end of July seems like the most realistic ETA. I'm now certain they're not going to make any Hybrids until they fulfil their FTW demand (they both use the same PCB).

That would suck. They would lose a lot of customers to the competition.

Look at this poll on OCUK: https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18731115
 
The irony is that EVGA have had the worst launch out of all the brands in terms of releasing their aftermarket cards on time.
 

I preordered the SeaHawk, it's up to EVGA now to let me delete the order to get the Hybrid. I really hope they kept some FTW PCB to fullfil at least the first Hybrid demand.

ive pretty much lost all hope of the hybrid actually being able to purchase this month.

Well due my credit card issue im getting a new card july 29....so if by 29 i do not see a hybrid available ill buy a gigabyte waterforce or a seahawk. no other choice.

Not entirely sure why the Hybrid wouldn't be out soon, I mean they are selling Hybrid kits already so one would think they are just prepping enough for a big shipment, but what do I know

Maybe because they want to finish of the ftw's thats still on demand(out of stock for those who pre-ordered probably)..all im saying is by July 29 when i get my new mastercard and that hybrid isnt up for sale or out of stock im buying something else.
