Very late in the game with mine so maybe Jan/Feb/March?.. yes I already have a 3090 FTW3 Ultra Red Lips 2012 serial number card in my primary rig, this is for my second Rig.  Which has the radiator space and fitments for it I think.
 
I was waiting on a step up 3080 FTW3 Ultra for my secondary rig but if I can get this I will simply leave the step up queue and sell my old 2080 Super or use it as a emergency backup card.  Looks like step up queue for 3080 FTW3 Ultra won't be until July.
 
 

 
One day left to register...
 
 
Win an EVGA RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra and other prizes!
 
 
A lot of people (including a couple in this thread!) have used my associate code and/or rewards/affiliate code since the 3000 series launch, which I of course greatly appreciate. I figured it would be a good idea to "pay forward" some of this good will, so I used EVGA Bucks to purchase a new RTX 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra GPU to give away. Woot!

I initially thought to contact Jacob and perhaps have EVGA give it away via the EVGA Friday podcast, but I realized the winner (or "weiner" as they say) might not be a forum member, and there's a good chance they would just sell it as most people watching there are gamers with high end rigs already, whereas I'd rather it went to a forum member and someone who will hopefully use it.

EVGA Forum Moderator The_Scarlet_One brought to my attention the EVGA Folding Team 2020 Time Zone Challenge, and this seems like a great way to give the GPU away - it's for a good cause, will very likely go to an EVGA forum member, hopefully will be used for folding or personal use rather than just sold for cash, and at the same time might encourage a few new folders to join in (like me). Lots of win in other words!

Cheers!

The is up to date.  104 in the list (so far).

Do you have a time cutoff?  My timestamps:  You have already entered for a notify on the following date/time: 12/16/2020 6:30:20 PM.
 
Thanks for doing this btw!  Very helpful to see.  I waited too long because I've been waiting for the hydros to come out and at this point I just need another card...
 
Edited with specific timestamp!

Please update your post with your specific timestamp including seconds and I will add it in.  You can find your timestamp here.

I just noticed the last drop covered over 100 units on the Tranche #1 list... O_O perhaps I signed up sooner than I should have, cuz I'm in at #90 on the list, do hope my queue position isn't up before I make a decision on the card I already have...  That's what I get for thinking 24 minutes would buy me enough time that my queue position wouldn't get called til January lol

I keep telling you not to wait.  
 
That said, you threaded the needle on the Hybrid purchase quite well....

@Dabadger84

That first list of 100 took almost a month to fulfill, so you should have plenty of time to make your decision!

Im #95 hopefully that means next batch released for sale my number will come up. Just hope by then Optimus a block out

Having seen the first tranche, I doubt the first real drop to our queue will get that far and because yesterday was likely a straggler drop from Tuesday's Kingpin drop, I am not expecting a new material drop to the queue today.  When it does come, I would think that first drop won't get beyond the next 20 on our list.  I really hope I am wrong on all fronts.

Took some work to fit this one on a crystal series 600x, but we did it!

I was going to PM you but I guess you don't have PM's yet. How did you manage? That's a 680x right? I have one too, and I'm switching my 360MM AIO to a 240 to fit the KPE in. I see it fit with the lines down? IDK what Corsair was thinking, they needed to add a few inches of depth as the case design IMO is flawed. You can't even fit their 360MM AIO up front and 2 fans up top without mounting the top fans above the fan bracket as it would hit the rad lines. I was mad one night recently and I E-mailed them about it. The answer was "not all configs shown will work with this case". LOL. 

It took a bit of time but I can give you the basic steps.
1 remove the front of the case, 
2 remove any fans you have installed on the back or bottom of the case
3 line up your top rad or fans as close to the back of the case as possible to make space for the front rad
4 make sure if you are using an AIO for your cpu make sure the lines are facing the back of the case
5 install the rad on the front mount bracket but screw it as low as you can in order to get the rad into the case and on the bracket, (when i installed it was like a inch lower then the bracket, this step is just so you can get the rad in the case), once its in you can adjust the height.
6 You will have to mount the card vertically with a riser or you wont have space for your power cables
7 You will need low profile cables that you can bend in a inch space
8 add your bottom fans back in. if you have a AIO you will only be able to place a 120 fan in the back. you can play around with where you mount as the case gives you a lot of options for that. 
 
That should cover any major issues you might have.

WOW, thanks a lot! I thought I was going to get lucky and it would fit without having too much trouble. I'm going to see if I can mount the radiator up top above the bracket, closer to the glass and then the fans below. Basically sandwich the bracket between the fans and radiator if that makes sense. I had to do that with my upper fans. Probably not enough room to clear it but I will give it a shot. I don't have a riser cable, I was going to try to mount horizontal but it I guess the cables get in the way and the extra bit of clearance is needed using the vertical mount. Do you have a support bracket below the card? I did see one guy here mount his Hybrid by making these small offset washers so to speak. The allowed the upper radiator to be shifted back further. 
 
I also know you can mount the front fans in front of that bracket as well to get an extra 25MM, but that's a little more difficult and I really need that front dust filter to function. The top doesn't matter since it's exhaust. 
 
I bought a 240MM AIO just for this but now I'm thinking maybe I should have joined the train and gotten a O11 XL. Then I could have kept my 360 for the CPU. I love the 680x but man, it's not loop or radiator friendly. 
 
What riser did you get and is it PCIE gen 4? Was thinking of getting linkup. 
 
Thanks again! 
 
EDIT: Wait, do you have it in push pull up front? 

I have a asus strix riser, gen 3. Waiting for them to release a gen 4 to switch to that. Theres no support backet below the card its just mounted using the standard case vertical mount setup. 
 
Its exhausting out the front, I wouldn't recommend using it on a intake configuration as it radiates quite a bit of heat under load. Card runs cool but you can def feel the warmth from the rad. 

Add me to the list please :
