Must have ordered after March 1, 2017
They just added the SC Black to the step up list.

I believe the SC2 black does not support RGB only SC2 and FTW3 cards.

That would explain it :) Thanks.

Hello everyone! first time poster here!(2nd, the first one broke o.o)
 
 
 
Well here it is at last! FTW3 in SLI. I'm a bit at loss right now about fan placement. I'm thinking of having my water cooler pull in air rather than push, but then I'd have to turn some other fans around to maintain the correct pressure. I dunno, what do you guys think?
 
Another thing is the logo RGB on both cards don't seem to want to be in sync. It looks good in the photo but over time the colors get out of sync. Is this by design or is it a problem? I have the cards linked in OCX but the RGB settings don't link, everything else does.
 
Thanks!

If the front and bottom are intake, top and back are exhaust, that is your best bet.  From the image I saw, I believe that's exactly what you have set, correct me if I'm wrong.  That's the more common airflow configuration most rigs use.  I myself on the other hand use that same model, except for the top as the top has a filter and the only choice I have is to keep it as intake, otherwise I'll be blowing against a filter.
 
If you want better temps, you could tweak the settings and see what your personal sweet spot is.  Start off with everything at 100% speed and work yourself down to a tolerable range.

Anyone going the with MSi 1080 Ti Seahawk?  Would going with the FTW3 and adding a block be a better option.  Assuming the Hydro-copper will be the FTW3 PCB with block.  Or which card will be better MSI Seahawk or EVGA Hydro-copper?

that's what I am doing ...FTW3 plus EK block...I need the fans on the FTW3 for foutr reasons
1. ek block comes out late may
2. I could give this card to my daughter in a year to replace her gtx 1070 if I upgrade
3. if loop ever breaks down
4. if I upgrade to volta, I can sell the card easily with the air cooler
 
I had the same question you did a couple weeks ago.   I bought FTW3 and have since emailed EK and found out FTW3 waterblock will be out by first week of june
 

corndog1836   Did you see the MSI Seahawk with waterblock?  https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814137144&cm_re=1080_ti_seahawk-_-14-137-144-_-Product It's around $50 more than the FTW3, so when you add a waterblock to the FTW3, it will cost maybe $100 more than the Seahawk.  Very close to $950, is the FTW3 route worth it?  You guys think the FTW3 is a better overclocker and better equipped than the MSI.  Or am I a lame EVGA fanboy, that bought into that powerlink adapter also.  Hah, darn I have SLI waterblock setup currently, and planned to swap to a single 1080 Ti.  I think I want to wait for a waterblock, it will make it a little easier.  I don't want to do extra steps..  Water to air and back to water, or water to water.  My FTW3 should be here in a couple days.

Very happy with my 1080 Ti SC Black Edition! Max temp 69.c with custom fann curve. 1500.rpm = 45% fann speed. silent :)

Please let me know abut your FTW3 temps under load after some longer sesssion. What are your max temps OC/non-OC after hour/two of gaming is some demanding games.

Thanks!

Finally!!! 
Powertarget: 117% Gpu Clock: 1936-1949 and Gpu Temp: 59-61 Degrees Celsius in games tested so far, Ghost Recon - Wildlands and GTA V @ 1440p in about 1 hour playtime each.
 
    
  

Thx :)
 
I turned around for a moment and when I turned back I found this curious box-loving cat just sitting there :)
Seems like she liked what I ordered from Evga

The dual ftw3 looks like my current corsair 760t black. Vn

Yes but i need the fans for resale or to put in secondary system later

Just got mine today :)

Very nice.. Both run stable at 2012mhz and memory +200

Ghost recon wildlands runs at 60fps in 4k with ultra settings.

Not tested any more so far.

Edit : can't upload a picture.. Stopps at 34%..

You're running 2 in sli? Can both your cards sustain 2012 Mhz while playing intensive games for more then a few minutes? If so, you got 2 good cards. I can get both mine over 2000, but they both will settle back to around 1964 Mhz and will stay there with my fan profile set to aggressive. Also, you should be able to set your memory to +400 or 500 without too much of an issue

Both remain there.. But have not tested it longer than one hour yet
