aberdieSucks for the working folks who can't sit and refresh a website all day. Elite member label just a gimmick or something.

I'd recommend something like distill.io. It refreshes the page all day for you and checks to see if there were any changes. If there is you can have it email you and put an on-screen notification and a sound notification. If you pay for their service (it's a free browser extension) they'll even text you and rather than having to keep your browser on they'll run it in the cloud for you. I don't, personally. I keep my computer on 24/7 so it's just frankly not necessary for me. It is how I was able to get in on the first batch of hybrids though. It popped me an email letting me know the page changed and what on the page changed and I just headed straight over and queued up.

I reckon it's a bit late in the attempt at 3000 series game (as it were) to be finding out about free notifier services. But better late than never I suppose.

They don't buy anything for you (like I'm sure scalping bots probably would). But they do fill the gap of not being able to refresh your browser once a minute or every 5 minutes or just not having the dedication/patience to do that all day even if you could, and at least give you an honest chance. So they can really be invaluable when it comes to stuff like this. I wouldn't do too low, just for the sake of decency. And they'd probably ban you (at least temporarily) for making too many requests or something (as they should). I did just every 5 minutes, myself. You don't want to inadvertently be DDoSing the site.

I do reckon EVGA could have given a heads up they were going to be doing it though. Bots crawl the site 24/7 anyways so it's not like announcing a day/time or even definite week would give them any advantage - just let actual humans know they should be extra vigilant during that period. Had I missed it myself I'd probably be understandably a bit miffed there was no heads up, just mid/late November. They'd even announced Kingpin was coming this or next week (Kingpin did anyways), though there was the tease post here that they were coming soon as well. Not a peep about hybrids though. People honestly had no clue. Even I was expecting Kingpin to come out first.

I don't fully understand the taking down of the auto notify queue either since it kind of defeats the purpose, though it seems like this first batch was perhaps more of a preorder queue than notification, I guess? And they had a limited supply so they didn't want to overdo it on those before they're even officially released so they don't end up with a situation where just a few days late and you could be waiting months. This way, I reckon, people have more chances to be at the front of the queue. Or at least one more chance, and we do know it'll probably be the week of Dec 7th to 14th, depending on the card, that the first batch ships. So the next batch will probably open up notifications around that time I reckon.

Looking for some help and advice for placement and setup. I am upgrading my case to the Corsair Crystal Series 680x, that being said, i have a corsair H150i Capellix (360mm) AIO for my CPU. With a pending 3090 Hybrid having the 240mm AIO, how should i set up my airflow? I was thinking 360mm CPU AIO in front as intake, 240mm GPU AIO on bottom as intake, and then 3 ML120 fans on top as exhaust and a 120 fan in rear as exaust. Will this be a problem? Or should i top mount the GPU AIO as exhaust to avoid potential bubbles in GPU AIO and just put the 3 120mm fans on bottom as intake? Any help or advice is appreciated 

I have the exact same thing. I will be mounting the gpu rad up top as exhaust. You don't want to mount the rad in the bottom as that will make the gpu pump the highest part of the loop and that will shorten the life of it and will probably cause sound issues. Btw, you can only mount 2 fans on top. So I will have a 360 rad up front as intake, 2 fans at the bottom as intake, 1 fan in the back as exhaust, and the 240 rad on top as exhaust (going to try to set up as push/pull but not sure it will be possible due to space restrictions).

Yeah on the 680x with two aios (360 & 240) you need to mount the 360 up front with tubes down and the 240 on top with tubes towards the back. If you set the 240 rad on top as exhaust then it will fit in nicely. If you set it up as intake with push fans then it will push the rad down a bit and might cause clearance issues (same thing if doing a push/pull setup). I'm going to mess with it once I have it in my hands. I have a couple extra corsair ml120 rgb fans for it. Hopefully I can manage to do push/pull if not I'll just do a push setup as exhaust.

How long is the tubing? Will it reach the front of a Bequiet 900 pro rev 2 case? Because I have a 360mm Radiator on the top already. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Every chip behaves uniquely so it is hard to say but the ftw3 has an “oc” bios if you want to get into that. Also, the ftw3 has more power headroom so this is going to help but in the end if your ftw3u boosts up to 1950mhz before crashing and your xc3 goes to 1960mhz then the xc3 would win in terms of performance, it’s a coin toss. I bevlieve there is 40$ +/- difference between those you maybe 40$ isn’t so much to have more “odds” on your side by taking the ftw3. Keep in mind the ftw3 pcb isn’t all that great compared to previous series (it’s not bad, it’s okay) see gamer’s nexus video of the ftw3u pcb analysis by bullzoid. This might help you make a choice.
