Was planning on trying to get in line early for the 3080 FTW Hybrid, but it just so happens that the card is 1mm too long for my case with my AIO in front...
 
Maybe that means it's time to upgrade my case???

Good Luck Everyone with todays new que sign up
Wee doggie that Kingpin is a salty dog but guaranteed to get the job done

Part of me almost wishes I'd waited for the Kingpin, but in reality it doesn't actually perform THAT much better on the Hybrid cooler it comes with, it still has power limit issues unless you're willing to run it on the LN2 BIOS (from what I understand, I could be wrong about that) - so the 3090 not really being worth $1600+ is compounded by the Kingpin being $1999+ - even saying that, I'd love to own one, I've owned a Classified Card & motherboard before (what Vince named them before eVGA started naming them after him with the K|ngp|n moniker), even still have the EVBot, but I've never had an actually-branded-Kingpin card.
But alas, the YOLO got me & purchased this lovely 3090 FTW3 Hybrid, which I am enjoying very much so far.
 
Just did a very extensive run through 3 Hives in Marvel's Avengers, never went above 46C on the core (I have the game capped at 120Hz/60FPS because sadly it has crashing issues at higher frame rates still), highest temp recorded was 54.5C on PWR4, that was while running a 1980MHz "OC" on a 950mV undervolt, 333W max power draw.
 
I did encounter the hilarious GN moment earlier today during a Precision X1 OC scan, the "to my knowledge, the inside of my GPU did not exceed the temperature of the Sun" iCX error readout of 6500+C on one of the vRAM sensors ^_^ Add to that the fact that the XOC "OC" BIOS doesn't have the capability to set the fans to 0%/0 RPM, if you command your fan curve to do so (which is ridiculous, because the 3080 FTW3 Ultra card I have can do that on both the stock OC & XOC OC BIOSes) - yeah, it's not "perfect", but that's part of it's charm no? lol
 
It's kind of silly a card that costs this much has these little quirks, makes it very obvious NVidia did not give board partners enough time to really vet their designs before launch.

Im an entire day behind in the queue for the 3070 xc3 ultra and xc3 black and 6 hours away from getting the 3060ti email :( When should I get that email????

Thank you! That makes this whole process much less anxiety-inducing. 
 
I saw where you advise putting the rad for a hybrid card as exhaust out the top.  I'm currently debating that.  I'm using a Corsair 4000X case with the 4000D Airflow front panel.  The case comes with 3 intake fans in the front.  I bought 3 QL120 fans and had planned on putting two on top as intake and one on back as exhaust.  I figure the case was designed to have intakes where there are dust screens.  I have a Noctua U12A air cooler for the CPU, so I'll only be dealing with the 3080 Hybrid radiator.  I'd be interested in your temp probe findings if you did that little experiment. The GPU should run cooler at load if the rad is on top and set as intake, but will it make the CPU run hotter?  I'm not worried about a few degrees C inside the case, but I also don't want a dust problem.
