Would be sweet if the 3090 HC has a 2nd block on the backside to cool the memory there.  The current 3090 Hybrid does a very poor job of cooling the ram on the backside.

No Excel tracking for the notifies on the Kingpin?

If you signed up, I am happy to add you to the queue.  Just post your date/time stamp in this thread.  Thanks!

any movement for ftw3 3080 queue .I signed up at 09:04:03 what is my expected email date?  how can i check it? 

You are around 1:01 from the head of the queue.  You should be within the next two material drops (hopefully the first).  When that drop happens...nobody outside of EVGA knows for sure.

The 3898 has moved four seconds so far today...now 9:03:06.  If you are on the bubble, please check you in-boxes!

Just got my order email!  I signed up at 9:03:05 am PT. 
 
So someone must have missed their order window from yesterday, or they are sending out more batches.

I'm guessing that people who got purchase links right away for the 3080 FTW Hybrid were cleaning up the leftovers from the launch release. The same thing happened with the 3090 XC Hybrid a couple of weeks ago. What this tells me is that, for one, it's highly unlikely that anyone got a time stamp inside of 9:02 due to the server being bogged down. It's also unlikely that very many time stamps were issued between 9:02 and 9:03. The google sheet that I added my info to yesterday had the bulk of the time stamps between 9:03 and 9:10. After that it fell off pretty quickly.
 
Of course, the question everyone in the queue wants to know is how dense is the volume inside of that 7 minute interval? Is the queue only going to move about 45 seconds every couple of weeks, or what? I hope that more purchase emails go out between now and Monday. If nothing happens by then it's not going to happen in 2020 given that EVGA will be shuttered for the rest of the year after 12/23.
 
 

I don't see many benchmarks for these cards yet, but hopefully they perform better than the fan cooling card for better overclocking

Oh man.. I'm 09:03:36.. I can almost taste it

I haven't kept up on what's going on with the HC varients of the 3080/3090. Last I heard there was some sort of issue with the water block that needed remediation.

The last I heard was Jan/Feb is when EVGA expects them to be available, but what is the most recent news about availability, more specifically the 3090 KPE HC?

I just want a 3080 Hydro copper for my new water-cooling setup. Its cheaper to get a GPU with it than buy one then get a water block.
Even a ASUS EK 3080 but those are nowhere to be seen either.

It really is a struggle with EVGA HC being the easiest mark for a one and done purchase.

Feels like by the time I manage to get a HC card the 3080 will be old news and my friends will have burned out on the games they've been playing while my computer parts collect dust since Oct, CPU since early Dec. I've squeezed my 660 GTX for long enough; it can't really play any modern games.

I've been thinking same thing, why I got the hybrid. When hydrocool FTW3 comes out I'll get it and sell the hybrid.

How accurate have you all found the queue tracker to be? According to the spreadsheet I should have received an email today for the XC3 Hybrid but the estimate has now been changed to tomorrow. I'm also in the front of the queue for the FTW3 Hybrid, with a timestamp of 9:03:19. Despite all of the OOS craziness this holiday season I've managed to get all of the parts I need, just waiting on a new card now

It is garbage.  The only thing that is of any value in the spreadsheets is the time stamp data.  The queue tracker and the ordinal positions are lies (in my opinion).

Dang, that's not what I was hoping to hear

I've waited a week and no order email yet, I'd like to know where I am in the queue, if I'm 120th spot then I know why I'm gonna wait a while.

I'm on my 2nd week, signed up for all the 3080s, nothing yet. So you got some time. Don't expect a Christmas (or chanukah) miracle. Until the recent notify for the 3090 others have posted went out, I honestly started thinking this whole notify thing was just a sleezy marketing tactic to stop buyers from purchasing elsewhere, convincing them to wait months for nothing. Glad I'm wrong.

You guys are going to be waiting a LONG time. Many people who signed up for the queue within days of it opening, September 17th I believe, still haven't received an email. It's very slow going.

Here is the latest queue summary for the Hybrids.  As is the established standard, as of 6:00 pm PT Thursday evening, the North American queues are approximately here (bolded font represents movement from Thursday morning’s summary; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of the movement):

Fridays are often straggler drop days; let’s hope tomorrow breaks the trend. 
 
Stay safe.
 
Good luck!
