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. 

So, played Cyberpunk for about an hour now, max GPU temp recorded was 53C, same settings as before.
 
Maximum temp recorded by the EC_TEMP2 module on the exhaust fan area of the GPU Radiator was 40C: 
 

 
Legend basically: EC_Temp1 is a sensor on the exhaust of the GPU itself out the back of the case, EC_Temp2 is the sensor on the exhaust of the GPU radiator.
You an also see my primary M.2 there is at a happy 33C while gaming instead of 40-45C like it was with the air cooled 3080. lol

Kind of late following this topic but glad I found it. Looks like I have a long wait ahead. Think my best chance to score a card is with the Hybrid but it still looks like it’s going to be awhile. Wish I knew it was going be available to notify earlier in the day.

Welcome the forum - unfortunately you're about 5hrs41mins away in queue on the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid, and waaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaay waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay far away on the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, 3090 FTW3 non-Ultra, 3080 FTW3 Ultra.
 
5 hours may sound like a lot when you consider some queues are moving in minutes or seconds on some days, but the 3090 FTW3 Hybrid has moved 20 minutes from when the "2nd" batch started on the auto-notify's relaunch day (Thursday of last week) in just 2 days of actual drops (Friday was stragglers I think, as was Tuesday's drops, I think, maybe not though.)  I'd say your best odds are at that one.
