Anyone care to post temp and overclocking results on the 3090 HC variants? Curious to see how much better they performed compared to their air cooled counterparts.

My point: RTX 3090 ACX3 Hybrid is plaqued by a very low power target- even if  the chip stays at 51 C, you cannot go higher, because the chip is  continuously bumping to power limits. 

Guys, I asked Jacob on Twitter about the Hybrid drops, and according to him, their goal is to make the Hybrid cards a daily drop (or regular SKU as he put it) starting this week, so I'm guessing that we may get cards sooner than expected.

(Side note: I asked him specifically about the 3080 FTW3UH, but he mentioned Hybrids in general)

Thank you for the hope

FTW is better, having more power :3x8pin, more phases , better PCB

EVGA underpowered   ACX 3 including PCB  to stem the tide of  buyers toward FTW... and more  "dinero"

 
Just a touch cynical, perhaps?

Do you mean?
 
PCB is virtually the same  as in Gigabyte 2x8 PIN, KFA2, Galaxy.  All of the mentioned  IMHO got 385-390W BIOS.
 
ACX has got  much better colling, so... I think there are reasons for not giving the customers  390W  BIOS for this card. See numerous  threads here and elsewhere and  coy silence about that from  EVGA reps.
 
And life happens to be a touch cynical sometimes. 

No Hybrids today (other than, at most, one or two units of the K|NGP|N Hybrid).  Hopefully more tomorrow.

And then im sad again. :(

I'm glad to hear that I could make you smile :) Cheer up, mate! If the cards are dropping more frequently starting tomorrow, then you shouldn't have to wait terribly long to get your card. Yes, the wait is painful and annoying. But remember, that when your card does get delivered and installed, the amount of joy, relief and satisfaction that you will feel after having waited so so long will be indescribable. So fight on dear friend. And all of us, your brothers and sisters in gaming, will continue to wait with you, and will all cheer you on when your time comes. :)

Sounds like 3898 (3080 FTW3 Ultra Hybrid) will be dropping this week...not sure of which day, but Tuesday's are often a drop day.  On the bad news side, sounds like no 3888 (3080 XC3 Ultra Hybrid) this week....
 
One hand giveth, and the other hand hits in the nose again.

I saw that tweet on the 3888 and was sad.  I am in line for both, but I am MUCH closer for the 3888 since the system locked up on me for the 3898 when it was time to register.

It's been a while since I've checked this thread. Have there been any updates on the Hydro Copper cards?

So what has been the recent jumps in FTW3 hybrids for 3090? Looks like it's just after 9:21 currently. My notify is 9:24 on the dot. It seems like other cards get a few minute jump sometimes but people have been posting a few seconds for some of the cards. I am hoping as it's a 3090 that the jump will be more but it doesn't seem to have moved much recently.

Thanks for using my Associate’s Code; I am sorry you had to give up your associate's status, but hopefully being able to use codes now will more than make up for it. Again, congratulations!
