Trade you my RTX 3080 Ti FTW3 card for it.

PCIe slot power: ~66W

The slot power is where you're hitting the power limit.  I don't know how the hybrid card has its power routed but maybe the pump head and fans are all powered by the PCIe slot power rail and that might be causing it to hit the power limit first.  There's hidden limits in the bios - each power connection has its own limit in addition to the total PL.

This is a Hydro Copper card, no pump or fans on the card.

this should illustrate what I'm seeing.
 

 
PX1 say's it's 100% power, GPUz says 85% power. it's being limited artificially below the actual limit it seems. If I run furmark, it's even worse. Clocks drop to 1000-1100 MHz and power draw is pegged at 270W and GPUz also reports a power cap reason as PWR. or power balancing issues where it's hitting a wall at the PCIe slot but not allowing the excess to be pulled from the cables where it has the headroom to do so. maybe that could be tweaked in the BIOS, but I'm not sure.
 
I did call EVGA, but they didnt have many answers. they couldn't even provide me the default BIOS to try reflashing it. I think there's a strong possibility this is something off in the BIOS causing this.

That is odd that PX1 and GPUZ read differently.  I just tried that on mine, both read the same.  I'm not surprised some other stress tests like Furmark read lower.  I've seen that on my FTW3.  It'll max out early on pin #2 at 160w and stop at 400w or even a little less.  I think it has to do with what part of the card/core is being used the most and it varies from one 3D app to another.
 
Any of 3080ti XC3 bios will work.  Might try flashing one of the others in case they just have something borked in the HC version.

Why do you think it's 66w?  I can't check the 3080ti bios yet, but the 3080 and 3090 XC3 are both 78w max.
 
This forum sucks for doing images but I posted it over here too.

what card do you have? 3080? 3090? 3080ti?

I have a 3080ti FTW3 that is now converted to a hybrid.

Once you converted from air cooled to an AIO that voided your warranty right?

Nope, not with EVGA.
