I have a friend that has 3 970 FTW+ cards in sli. The master card gets wicked hot. We would like to put a AIO on it. I have seen the same cards sold with a hybrid cooler. I myself have a hybrid 1080. Is there any EVGA stock with this??

    I believe you would have to put a self made water cooling kit on it, like a full waterblock.
    An AIO would take up 2 slots.

    aftermarket PCB cards like the FTW is not so easy  if any to find   unless you got the block type as said above
    most ''hybrid'' type kits are for reference PCB boarded cards and/ or  ''blower'' fanned  if the aftermarket shroud  don't have one

    see just ref PCB boards supported

    the h55 unit is what been used on there seahawk cards 
     
    you may find a off branded  universal  that fits a aftermarket PCB card ?

    but like from this one  you see what I mean
     
    ''* The compatibility list is based on AMD Radeon and NVIDIA's reference board layout only''
     
    https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1K648M2168
     
    coolers for these aftermarket cards were  hard to get if any 
     
     
    your going to find your going to need to be pretty handy and scab something on and hope it works out in the end  or just keep suffering with the air cooling you got now

    the vid show a 970 hybrid that would be a reference PCB  not a aftermarket FTW  that uses a EVGA PCB    se some models had NVidia reference pcb's  and some used EVGA pcb's  that have design differences    and maybe the first release 970 ftw could of used a reference pcb  where the 970 ftw +  may not ???
