So, for the Hybrid models... if a guy would want to, say, change out the radiator fans for better fans, what would he get? One caveat: I like things as quiet as possible.

Also, are they 12cm fans?

Kthnx

Noctua 120s. The noctua A12x25 should work. They are pricey, but work really well and are silent. I have them in my rig, but not the card as I dont have one yet. If I get a hybrid, I will be swapping to those.

 
I was thinking of using NF-P12 myself to save some dough (~$14 on Amazon rn). They come in gray too which is nice.

You really cant go wrong with anything Noctua. I got the crap brown and cream colored ones as that is all they had in the fan I wanted. I wish they had those on other colors, but I have now embraced it. I want my computer to not match anywhere now, just get the higher quality parts. I am only missing the GPU now.

It's relevant to this thread.

It's here.

Hopefully it's to produce more chips so they can get more cards out and everyone will have a card by October/November or whatever it is people were saying.

Good news, but it probably won't translate. They gotta keep this trickle going to keep their name in the news...."artificial scarcity"

I agree.  The last 5 CPU coolers I've installed (my daughters' and my systems) have been Noctuas.  The build quality is simply second to none.

Thirding.. there is nothing better than Noctua. Excellent balance. Albeit pricey.
Still, id rather have performance with low noise than to have crap RGB.
 

You guys wont believe it..
I THINK I just scored a EVGA 3080 FTW via Newegg Mexico as I was just reloading.
Its sold out now..
 
Its the same price as stores in Mexico ( 1,200 USD the import and taxes kill it)
Still cheaper than the ridiculous 50,000 pesos some stores are wanting right now (2,500 USD for a 3080)
 
I'm still going to wait for the EVGA hybrid. I'm debating cancelling all the other queues also.

Will absolutely backup the recommendation of Noctua fans.  I've got two of them in my NZXT H1, one on the AIO as intake and one on the rear as exhaust (with a third waiting on my Etsy bracket to be mounted on the rear as well).  Turned a hot little box into a chilly cooler while upping my 10900k boost clocks from 4.4GHz sustained to 4.7GHz before thermal throttling kicked in at 90C.  System temps also dropped ~5-10C depending on load, and they're exponentially quieter than the NZXT fan was.
 
Had my doubts at first, but they're the best fans I've used in ~20 years of building PCs.  Won't use anything but them ever again for my cooling fan needs.
 

Backing up Noctuas too. I have an old 1070 where the fans was just crap and whiney so I double sided tape some Noctuas to it then connected the fan cables to the VGA Fan header via adapter. Whisper quiet AND better temps. I'm honestly considering it for my air cooled 2080 as well.

Well lets hope for a big drop on Monday !

That would be an amazing start to the week!

Was there a roadmap today?

No.  JacobF had a 6 hour live stream for charity.  I think that is an excused absence.

I’m now on the notifies for the Hybrid 3090s.
I probably won’t buy one but I really just want to report I got the email and have enewt say, like, my “watch is over” and something about gaming goodness...
 
Do I sound desperate? 

Notwithstanding, Jacob's roadmap, today felt very much like a straggler day.  EVGA had a 6-hour charity stream today that was entertaining and for a very good cause. Elsewhere, they had little compassion for the queues that suffered a pretty dismal and barren day. (I kid, I kid)
 
As is the established standard, as of 4:30 pm PT Friday evening, the North American queues are approximately here (bolded font represents movement from Friday morning’s summary; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of the movement):

Hopefully Monday and Tuesday will bring better raindrops for our thirsty community.
 
As a reminder,  EVGA will stop shipping orders by 2 pm on 12/23.
 
Have a great weekend everybody and if you are heading for the hills with your gaming goodness already secured from your friendly, neighborhood UPS driver...(a) congratulations, (b) stay safe, and (c) Happy Holidays!

Your watch could be over...if you say, "yes", congratulations and go enjoy your gaming goodness.  If "no", your space on the wall remains warm and ready for you...just clean up a little bit...you'll be here a while longer. 
 
Best of luck with your difficult decision.

It moved more?
I really think if there is a drop next week I'll be in it now.
Still hoping not, but thinking yes. lol
 
One thing I hadn't thought about before today, that is further reason to "JUST... DO IT"
 
I could test SLi... if I also get an NVLink bridge... but that's also $80 on something I will literally use once, for Port Royal score purposes, then resell when I get rid of whichever of the 2 3090s I decide not to keep.
 
That's assuming my PSU wouldn't spontaneously combust (it's a good unit, but) given that would be an up to 1000W draw or more from JUST the GPUs, possibly... but then again, my CPU has never gone over 190W, and the rest of my system is probably in the 75-150W draw range... and Port Royal doesn't really use the CPU much, so I should be able to at least do a run of that or two and be completely fine.  
 
Famous last words. lol

I will be using EK X3M Vardar fans when I do eventually get the 3080 FTW3 Hybrid.  Excellent radiator fans with high static pressure.  I currently have 9 of the X3M Vardars in my rig, 6 of which are on 360 rads.
 
Can anyone point me to a proper spec sheet that shows the specs for the fans that are included with the 3080 FTW3 Hybrid?
