I have a RTX 3090 XC3 Ultra and I wanna switch its cooler with Hybrid Kit. Would making this void my warranty? And I read that after assembly flashing hybrid vbios makes the card acts as a hybrid. Would flashing vBios void my warranty? I live in EU. Thanks in advance.

No it won’t as long as you don’t physically damage the GPU during the process.
And go ahead and flash away.

With a bit OC I was able to get 13790 Score in Port Royale. Is this normal?

I finally changed my cooler with hybrid kit. Temps are amazing.
 
At stock normal xc3 cooler would hit 78-81c core and around 90c+ hotspot / 85-90c memory.

With hybrid cooler (I haven't changed back pads but will do and update here) 50-58c core and 60-70c hotspot / 85-95c memory.
 
And with these temps I am able to play at higher clocks and oc the card properly. Only downside with hybrid cooler is the pump noise. It is kinda high for idle temps, but okay when pc is on load. Since I don't hear it because of other fans in pc.
 
Update: The thermal pads arrived today. So I switched my cards blackplate pads and voilah! Memory dropped 10-15c.

So I made my final test to compare them today.

Stock XC3 Cooler / Furmark + OCCT VRAM = Max: 81C Core, 93C Core Hotspot, 100C Memory. Fan Speeds(Auto) = 2000-2500 RPMs.
XC3 Hybrid + Backplate Pads changed / Furmark + OCCT VRAM = Max: 50C Core, 62 Core Hotspot, 92C Memory. Fan Speeds(Auto) = Smal one on the card 1800RPM - Radiator Fans 1600RPM.
 
Conclusion: Less heat, less noise, better performance.

Very glad to see! Definite improvements there.
