@EVGATech_LeeM can you please post the BIOS links for the Hydro Copper cards just as you have for the air and hybrid cards? specifically looking for the ones for 3080ti XC3 Hydro Copper

I don't have them currently (for the 3080 Ti), but I've requested them.  For the 30 Series, I only encourage people to use the HC BIOS if you actually have the HC card version.  This is mainly due to different components used on these cards for the sole purpose to improve the way the blocks sit on the card (hence, this is reflected in the BIOS), and may not necessarily work on other card designs.  Otherwise, there's no other reason to flash an HC BIOS to a non-HC card; unlike the situation with HYBRID BIOS, which utilizes a different fan scheme. 

@EVGATech_LeeM any luck on the bios for the other HC cards?  I installed my 3090 FTW3 Ultra HC (24G-P5-3989-KR) card last night and would like that bios.

Can someone confirm that? The 3080 Ti FTW3 Ultra comes with a 450w power limit from the factory on the default/normal BIOS?
Which software is most recommended to try and increase power? MSI Afterburner?

I own one, and no. The listed specs are for 350w, and PX1 allows for an additional 13% (395.5w). MSI Afterburner, which is what I prefer to use for OSD purposes, seems to only allow for an additional 12% and explains why I have not personally seen above 392w. Although, MSI Afterburner hasn't had a version update since this card was released, so maybe a future version will allow for the +13%. What I don't understand is why the OC BIOS is the same version as the Normal BIOS (94.02.71.00.B0). When I first installed the card, PX1 performed a BIOS update, and that was with the selector switch set to Normal. Once I ensured the card was working, I powered down and switched to the OC BIOS, but PX1 had no update for it. As far as I can tell, both the Normal and OC BIOS behave identically, probably because it's the same version.

Px1 does not update the vbios as far as I know, Only the firmware for the fan/rgb controller. Mine sits at 400-415w with power slider maxed. then hits about 430w in komboster. So the limit is 450w but due to power balance it doesnt actually reach the full 450. You can also see on tpu bios details the default target is 400 with limit of 450. Mine is on water and constantly power limited which is unfortunate because im pretty sure my card could do atleast a constant 2100mhz or maybe even closer to 2200 with some more power. Hoping evga releases a xoc bios, Does not make sense to have the same power limit as 3080 on the 3080 Ti.

I ordered an EK GPU block that should be arriving in the near future, so I'm looking forward to putting my card on water. Aside from that, even Kombustor shows my power limit being 112.5% with the slider maxed using PX1, which should mean total max power output at 393.75w. I just used Kombustor and monitored the GPU power using HWiNFO64 and saw a max draw of 449.3w, so I guess it's true that it is a 450w max. Not sure why earlier I was only seeing 392w. Glad to know nothing's wonky with my card.

I have an ek block on mine, The temps are great. 46c and 50c mem junction after running about 20 mins at full load. I used hydronaut and thermalright odyssey for the memory. One 85x45x1mm sheet was just barely enough for the memory.

The EK-provided pads weren’t enough?

Im sure they would of been just fine, But they seem to be pretty basic pads similar to the real cheap blue ones you can buy on amazon without any branding. The ones on my backplate they gave me are already leeching oil out so I suspect they might be pretty low quality. An extra $10-15 for quality pads on the memory is a small price to pay imo. I used the ek pads on rest of the front and the backplate. If you do go with aftermarket pads from thermalright or gelid id stick to around 12 W/mk, 15+ can be alot stiffer and prevent you from getting proper die contact if they dont squish enough.

Thanks for the tip. I used the EK-provided pads for my 2080 Ti, and those were hardly enough. I may just go the route of getting ones like those you suggested. Otherwise, I’ve still got plenty of Kryonaut for the die itself.

Could someone please confirm whether VBIOS 94.02.42.80.FC is the most up-to-date version for a 3080 FTW3 Ultra that was converted using a hybrid kit?  I did the updates a while ago, and they behaved a little wonky when I did them, so I figured I'd make sure I have the right one.  I tried re-downloading the bios to check if the file was named the same as what I have, but the firmware files use a different naming scheme than the bios they install apparently.
 
Incidentally, I've been having no end of trouble with Nvidia Broadcast, and Nvidia hasn't been much help, so I'm trying to rule out what might be causing it, as I really like what the software does.  I've ruled out drivers, so now I'm wondering if I have an out-of-date bios or something.  I don't think firmware would make any difference.

What you're basically asking is what the correct BIOS file is for the 3080 FTW3 HYBRID, since it doesn't matter if the card was born a HYBRID or converted to a HYBRID.  94.02.42.80.FC is the latest ReBAR OC switch BIOS, which makes it the latest.

Excellent thread mr @EVGATech_LeeM , all the info gathered in one place, very critical. 
 
Could you please clarify one more thing, about mixing the bios with installing the Evga kit ? 
 
This is the case.
I have 3080FTW3 ultra.
On switch 1 the default bios without ReBAR. 
On switch 2 I have updated  the XOC - OC bios without ReBar.
 
I have the kit 
 
OPTION 1 
Can I have 
On switch 1 the FTW3 HYBRID with ReBAR  installing the 
 
"From original FTW3/XC3 cards - includes ReBAR - to:

•  EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 HYBRID [ReBAR]
  [ReBAR]" and on 

switch 2 one from the normal/OC of the HYBRID installing
 
"Flash to the XOC versions of the original FTW3/FTW3 Ultra/HYBRID cards (includes ReBAR):

• EVGA GeForce RTX 3080 FTW3 HYBRID (10G-P5-3898-KR) [XOC/ReBAR]"

 
Or I have to flash back the switch 2 on default, then flash to Hybrid, then flash to ReBAR through PX1 ? 
 
and one more 
 
 
 
 
OPTION 2
Can I have  
On switch 1 the FTW3 HYBRID  without  ReBAR  installing the 
"From original FTW3/XC3 cards - without ReBAR - to: "

•   "
  

on switch 2 
the option 1 with ReBAR
 
I would be very glad if you answer this, have a long time this query 
but anyway I understand your projects and time, whenever you can  , thanks! 
 
 
 
 

Made a post, realized the answer was in an above post, want to delete it, but editing to explain is the best I can seem to do. Sorry!
 
Edit, new question after all: Looking for confirmation that all of these bios update files will work with the -KL versions of the cards (the lower hashrate cards EVGA is now selling, as opposed to the original -KR's) or are we out of luck until they are modified to work with them?

The download link labeled 3897_XOC_Rebar.zip is a 0kb file.

Hey guys! Just converted my 3080 FTW Ultra to a Hybrid, and had a question. Everything went well and I'm pretty sure I installed the proper BIOS. However, in PX1 the power limit is now 105% as opposed to the 118% the card had available before updating. I assumed the card would stay the same at least being it has better cooling available. Is it supposed to be more limited on power than the 3080 FTW? Or is the base power limit higher, thus the smaller available gain in PX1? I was just kind of confused about it and couldn't seem to find any info, so any help is appreciated. Thanks!
 
After asking around on Reddit, people are saying the one linked in the OP is the incorrect BIOS for a higher power limit, and it should be 118%. 
The files are:
3898_Normal_ovu.exe
3898_OC_ovu.exe
 
I used the OC_ovu and it still gives the 105% limit. Does anyone have a link or info on the Hybrid BIOS with the 450w limit????

EVGA apparently hasn't addressed the issue that none of the LHR versions of older cards (anything non-TI in other words) work with existing bios.
 
We need BIOS for all of them, in my case 3080 ftw3 ultra LHR version. Not a single bios available for 3080 ftw3's or hybrids is compatible, but they were still happy to sell me a hybrid kit that fits even if the bios aren't available to get it working in PX1 properly.

Didn't realize it's been an issue for a while. I just got to this yesterday.

I just checked, and it should be 8.2MB.  I wonder if you just clicked it when our server had a hiccup or something.

Noted.  I don't currently have LHR BIOS for any of the cards (unless you count 3080 Ti).  I will request them.
