EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 HYBRID Launched
EVGA today launched the GeForce GTX 1080 HYBRID graphics card, priced at US $729.99, a $129.99 premium over the GTX 1080 baseline pricing. The card is characterized by a factory-fitted all-in-one, closed-loop liquid cooling solution that works in conjunction with a minor air cooling system. The liquid cooling component cools the factory-overclocked GPU, along with some of the heat from a base-plate cooling the memory and VRM; while a conventional 100 mm fan's air-flow actively cools that base-plate.
The underlying PCB is identical to that of the GTX 1080 Classified ACX 3.0 by EVGA. The card also offers the same factory-overclock as the Classified, with 1721 MHz core, 1860 MHz GPU Boost, and an untouched 10 GHz (GDDR5X-effective) memory. The card draws power from a pair of 8-pin PCIe power connectors, its display outputs include one each of HDMI 2.0b, dual-link DVI, and three DisplayPort 1.4 connectors. EVGA is giving away $115 worth in-game credit with Epic Games' upcoming MOBA title "Paragon" with this card.

On these Hybrid cards metal plate cover and video memory.
If someone can't afford custom loop AIO Liquid cooler is best option.
Power Limit is I think 130% on Hybrid, I'm not sure, how much is for GTX1080 Founders Edition.
But to be honest GTX1080 is expensive, people don't see that but if they look better NVIDIA for 2 years after TITAN increase performance for 10% and 300$ cheaper.
For 2 years from TITAN X Maxwell. AMD need to launch 50% stronger card than Fury X to beat GTX1080.
GTX1080 worth 500$, not more.
When first Hybrid was launched I thought if EVGA design wider card with little bigger PCB and fan that could be excellent Hybrid Classified model.
And next year they launched bigger PCB only as FTW version. This is only solution if no custom loop. I keep side panel opened during summer gaming,
my air cooler is effective but on open space, not inside case. 270-280W power consumption of fabric clock, 200MHz overclocked card and results are big temps.
Without side panel temps are lower for 10-12C GPU and 7-8C cooler CPU and motherboard.
With AIO all air go out of case.
CORSAIR design some Magnet Levitation fans and they are silent on 2000RPM...
Two of them on radiator and temps will not pass 55-60C in most intensive gaming in closed case. AIO on CPU, AIO on GPU and case fans not need.
Ambient temps are lower than with 5 fans and Air cooled CPU/GPU.
Only you need to drop temps in room later.
