I got the 12Gb 3080 Hybrid card that comes with the radiator pre-attached and it didn't come with any instructions. Do I need to prep the hybrid bit in any way? Or is it just take it out of the box and install it like any other videocard. It seemed as if all the guides and instructions I came across were just for the hybrid kit installation and noting seemed to pertain to the pre-assembled version.  Its my first foray into water cooling so flying a bit blind. Any help would be most appreciated. I can follow instructions so even just pointing me i the right direction for documentation would be awesome. All the info I can find here on evga is again just for the kits and not the pre-assembled version

    Welcome to the EVGA Forums, congrats on your first post
     
    Mount the radiator (center line) above the GPU center line (do not mount radiator below GPU)
     
    mount radiator with Hoses on bottom of radiator if mounted to the front or back of the case
     
    If you mount radiator on the top of case, hoses should point down
     
    Do Not - stress the hoses - the hoses should have a little slack when it is all mounted
     
    If you run the fan as intake, the cooler room air will give you the best temps
     
    With PC on its side = after you install the GPU - hold the radiator above the GPU - lightly shake & tap the radiator - with hoses at the lowest point - this can help make sure any limited air stuck in the AIO is where you want it
     
    Go easy when mounting the radiators or the fans to the radiator -- use a very light touch or you can strip the radiator mounting tab  - once the screw stops turning - light touch, one finger & thumb - bareley snug (NOT an extra 1/8 turn - after screw stops )
     
    Connect the fans to the connectors on the line that comes out of the GPU cover (with power off)
     
    "some very basic information" Hybrid Cooling
     
    Enjoy your new GPU
