I picked this up - minimalist profile and does not come with the branding as seen in the pictures. Inexpensive and effective.
No it is not a glitch. Your card is an AR product and it has a lifetime warranty if it was registered within 14 days of purchase.
Check out the warranty terms
Try stresstesting it with a benchmark program and running HWMonitor. Should give you a lot more data, I think. Maybe it will help point towards what specifically is wrong on the card (ie if any particular of the 9 heatsensors are overheating besides the GPU). How old is the card?
This is the cable I use: CRJ Male Mini 4-Pin GPU Fan to Female 4-Pin PWM All Black Sleeved Adapter Cable https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07S4L41TN/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_70BJGZ2PAVJXG722WP0P?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
It plugs into the pump cable inside the kit (albeit upside down so yes you do need to cut a groove on the other side to make it work) and then it plugs into a fan header.
I got a fairly low end PSU for my wife's work PC and it qualified to make my wife's account Elite Status. This is what I bought:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BNRGWXZ
It's a little pricier now, but was $39.99 when I bought it. All I had to do was enter in the S/N and purchase date and it put the account in elite status. No other purchases on her account.
I think the purchase had to be made within the last year (I'm not sure on the exact timing, but I know it has to be somewhat recent), so if you entered a PSU you bought a while ago it wouldn't have counted.
I went with these specific ones - they're black. There are also other colors available if you scroll down and look at the similar items section. They've been great after a few months of use and really clean up the look of the system.

Depends on your case... Is there space for a big one or just a small one. In any case, I have this one supporting my 3070 FTW and it does the job perfectly.
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B08C2CTPV6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_P0t.FbPQA7QNE?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
And here is a picture of it in my case: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/C6x39wj
I would've prefered to have it on the side but it doesn't fit and if it "forced" it, it would come into contact with the front fans. I don't really notice it tbh. My case is mostly dark since my fans aren't RGB.
I don’t know if I am dumb but the anti-sag bracket that came with it didn’t seem to fit my case.
I went out and bought a GPU stand which is not ideal but it works!

Edit: I definitely recommend something as it visibly does sag.
So I just got my FTWU today and vertically mounted it, this is how I currently have it.
I use these little dongles for each 8 pin. Don't be fooled though, it says 2 pack, but they're each oriented differently so you're going to need to buy 3 of these 2 packs. (I made the mistake of only buying two, which is why i have 2 of the 8-pins nice and clean/hidden, and the other is trash.
Have you tried testing GPU in another computer? If you can I'd recommend that to see if it really did fry the GPU. If it did, definitely bad psu. Swap that bad boy out. Also swap the Cable as it could have been fried as well.
If GPU is working fine in another computer, then it's going to be a bigger headache. Probably need to replace Mobo. Though this is unlikely the culprit. I'd almost bet money on bad PSU.
If you can, get a PSU tester. They're like $10-$20 and are very good for this kind of thing. Allows you to make sure it's PSU before hooking up a replacement part and frying it too.
Edit: Here's a cheap PSU tester. $11. Might be worth it to get it and test PSU first. Unless Corsair is willing to swap it out anyway. If they aren't, get that and test it. If you tell them you tested it with a PSU tester and it tests bad, they will not balk any about swapping it out.

Keep a lookout on slickdeals. they had one with a 750w psu for $680 no tax

I thought EVGA had a separate stock for RMAs and etc. Was hoping their website stock wasn't the same stock available for RMAs.
I had the same issue and I replaced mine with one of these https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YLUCKQ/
​
been working fine since Jan 2021. Quiet too.
Okay awesome to know that those lights are normal. As for the cables if you're curious, here's the ones I bought and here's Corsair's compatibility chart
Okay.. the comments are right.. the Motherboard and the 6700k are going to severely bottleneck the 3080.. but that's not to say you still won't enjoy it.. and it will still be an improvement over and older GPU no doubt about it.. but that's not the question you are asking..
Something like this might work great for you since your motherboard is restricted to PCIe Gen 3. It also adds support since the case doesn't have bottom support built in. And being as big as the 3080 is, you can angle it back to get the fans away from the glass and improve cooling. https://www.amazon.com/EZDIY-FAB-Vertical-Graphics-Bracket-Multi-Angle/dp/B08R9P5G8V
Or leave it mounted standard and buy a cheap anti-sag bracket. https://www.amazon.com/CloverTale-Aerospace-Upgraded-Version-Black/dp/B077LGLN4G
There are brackets and stands of many varieties.
This Cooler Master one works well, provided you have room to place it properly, including something for the magnet at the bottom to latch on to. These upHere brackets are cheap, I have a version with lighting that doesn't cost much more.
If you look around, there are plenty of options available at various price points, approaches, and levels of 'bling'.
1000 watt is too in the middle just get a 1300 watt its like 50 dollars more but more future headroom.
If you want to future proof, I would honestly wait until they come out with the new PSUs to support the 40 series. Unless you want it now and if you do, I would go with a 1200W PSU.
And this is a platinum. It was on sale last week for $299.
As far as lights go, even if you buy a motherboard with lights on it... you can disable them all.
MSI actually makes a murdered out all black motherboard with no lights on it. Here it is https://www.amazon.com/MSI-MAG-Z690-DDR4-Motherboard/dp/B09GLD72QH
GPUs can all have their lights disabled as well. To me, EVGA GPUs have one of the biggest RGB lights on it if you go with the FTW3 line up. However something like the XC series from EVGA has MUCH less. Either way, all controlled and can be turned off by the EVGA software.
For RAM, G Skill Ripjaws, all black, no lights at all, and performs wonderfully. This is a 32GB kit, but go for a 16GB if budget needs it. https://www.amazon.com/G-Skill-PC4-28800-3600MHz-Ripjaws-16-19-19-39/dp/B07Z45XB3G
Just about any component with RGB can have it's RGB turned off. Just know that you don't have to go with a specific brand just for your personal reasons.
Have fun building!
I bought this because it’s cheap. It’s ok, nothing special but I didn’t feel like spending a lot. I have a 3080 ti ftw3 and had to bend it out slightly because the rubber holder part was in the fan lol. But aside from that it’s passable.

This will tell you Temps for all devices in your system and rpms for connected fans.
CPUs are generally fine below 85c.
GPUs, nvidia specifically, are good below 75c, but start step throttling around 60c.
My setup is overkill, so hit those numbers and you should be fine.

The one Lian Li makes for the Lancool II. I chose that one specifically because it's incredibly low profile.

I swapped out the fan for a 92mm Slim Noctua chromax too, so there would be ample clearance for it.
So would this would?

Have an up doot! My setup up watch should end soon (just got the email for step 2 of 5).
Once I know it's a lock, I'm going to order the right version of these to help clean up the cable management :)
Might be worth testing your GPU & CPU(especially if you are using the stock AMD cooler as they are garbage) to see if it's either of them possibly overheating or it's something else that occurs under load.
Go grab Aida 64's Trial( the top one here http://www.aida64.com/downloads ). You want to go to the Tools menu and click "system stability test" and make sure the "Stress CPU/FPU/Cache" boxes are ticked in the window it opens and let it run for a few minutes to see if it might be your CPU.
Then you can grab something like Furmark (here http://www.ozone3d.net/benchmarks/fur/ ) and run a stress test on your GPU and see if any problems pop up.
Keep a eye on your Temperatures during both and let us know how it turns out.
And lastly, what is your Power Supply and how is the Airflow in your case(intake/exhaust fans, dust, etc)?
CableMod sells single PCIE power cables on Amazon. For less than $20 you're good to go.

I have the same card and case and mine sagged just like yours. I bought one of these to prop up the card: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KVXY359/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I had similar spacing issues but this product is wonders against sagging: similar to the pencil concept.

EVGA service hasn't really ever been a joke but alright.. I use this for my FD case. It may or may not match the mounting pattern in the EVGA case, but if you have to try something might as well try this and if it doesn't work it's an easy Amazon return. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DMNJ6QM

Get those! Or get to a micro center and see what deals they have!
So I have 2 6x2 power cables that I bought from new egg that are type 3 and are supposed to go with my PSU. I also have 1 6x2 pigtail cable that came with my PSU. I lost my other cables so I'm wondering if the 2 cables I bought that didn't come with my PSU are holding me back in terms of power. I have an 850w Corsair Gold PSU.
I did a clean driver install of my GPU, yes!
So I have my TimeSpy results and they to be ok! So with higher power consumption does that mean better performance out of the card?

I’ve seen the Corsair cable before but was not available at the time.
There's these from that same company that are 120mmx120mm:
They're a tad pricey though.
I just replaced the thermal pads on my 2080 Ti using third party pads. They don't really come in ready-to-be-placed sizes though, so you'll definitely have to cut them yourself (unless you take it to a PC repair shop and they'll do it for you).
I found this which will tell you the thickness and size of the pads you'll need:

There’s an empty space between the aio and bottom fans.
I’ll get this for the fans then. Thanks again for the help, I’ll report back with how it goes.
Fancasee 4-Pin PWM Fan Power Supply Cable 1 to 5 Splitter 5 Way PC Case Internal Motherboard Fan Power Extension Cable Cord Wire for ATX Computer Case 4-Pin and 3-Pin Cooling Fans (13 inch, Black) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BWFT253/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_588TW2H6BXT4BPJ9M02H
I'd seriously be looking in to upgrading the case to something with better radiator support. I'd personally get an O11 dynamic and upgrade to a 360mm AIO, or the O11 mini if you really want to keep your 240mm (280mm works better with the mini though).
You could put your AIO up front and mount your GPU AIO up top. You definitely don't want it on the bottom, you need your radiator above your pump to prevent damage to the pump. It's a bit more complicated, but that's the simple version. Tubes should travel down to the pump, not up.
Your modular power supply should be just fine for this with the included cables.
I'd probably use a fan splitter/hub and wire manage it in the back if possible.
I like the UP here! better and use it personally. https://www.amazon.com/upHere-Graphics-Anodized-Aerospace-Aluminum/dp/B076GYL25H/ref=sr_1_1?crid=EIHNM5MVOTL4&dchild=1&keywords=uphere+brace&qid=1613548834&sprefix=up+here+%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1
3dmark. That's what I use, it's what a lot of people use. Includes firestrike and timespy. It's technically free, but it's well worth the money to pay for it just to skip demos. Cut's the run time in half, or at least it feels like it. Money well spent to me.
100mhz core 300mhz V ram at stock voltages should be more than doable even for a noob with X1 or afterburner, never mind on a high end hybrid card. Literally type in +100 and +300 on your respective fields and let her rip.

>Perfect! Thanks for the info! I don’t mind somewhat higher temps in exchange for lower noise. As long as it’s not getting into danger territory with heat. Like you I’d probably undervolt anyway which would help those temps. Mind if I ask what case your using?

Update: I reached out to Amazon Customer service and they confirmed and provided the promotional code. Here is the listing I purchased from. I will add that purchasing from Amazon, doesn't ship any faster than the EVGA website.

Used it with a GTX 1070 before the 3080. I just set it under the right corner furtherest from the motherboard, put upward pressure on the card there until the back is level, raise the foot and tighten.
If you have spare pair of molex or a single SATA power connector you aren't using, you can buy an adapter and use one of those.

Seems like this is not a hot issue but for those interested it did end up working. Getting this adapter, bypassing the card's header, and plugging it into a motherboard CHA_FAN header allows you to set the fan speed in the bios to control the pump power. Lowering it to 80% cut the sharpness but going to ~50% made it near silent.
Ended up tweaking a curve so it'll kick up the speed if the system is getting hot. So far it idles at around the same temps ~30-32C and kicks up to ~50-55C under load at 2ghz, max power.

Couldn't tell you without known the board specs, and I know it's annoying since you then have to take up a 2.5" slot, power connector, etc, but this worked perfectly for using my samsung M.2 SSD on an older MB.
edit nevermind, I'm a lost redditor and thought I was in /r/buildapc ... looking at the specs of the z370 boards though, it still doesn't seem obvious what exactly that m.2 slot has. Might still be stuck with an adapter.

Well it's available on amazon.ca just a lot more expensive than the arctic kit :P
You might as well get the Arctic 140 kit. https://www.amazon.ca/ARCTIC-Accelero-Hybrid-III-140-Generic/dp/B010T96DCK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1500433491&sr=8-1&keywords=arctic+140
Since you're located in Canada, this price is CHEAPER than the American retail, and it's cheaper than the EVGA kit. You can contact Arctic and ask them if it will fit the FTW cards prior to purchasing them. They should but never hurts to ask.
You know I was wondering the same thing when I watched the video. At the time I couldnt find any answers and gave up for a while. I am planning on eventually opening my sc2 hybrid up trying different things. Hopefully there will be some solutions by then.
Was also going to try putting these copper heatsink pins on the cold plate extensions that are covering the memory modules. I think theres enough room for them to squeeze inside, if not I was thinking the backplate over the vrms. More curious than anything to see if I can get a noticeable temp drop.
Would it be a problem where the thermal pads are too thick that they make the cooling worse?
This is a thermal pads I'm interested to purchase later on. https://www.amazon.com/Phobya-Thermal-120mm-20mm-1-5mm/dp/B0051C372A
Thanks again!
Well that should rule that out unless they screwed up the wiring. If you want to be 100% sure you can always grab a outlet tester.
Otherwise it sounds like you just have some really really bad luck and I hope they'll get their heads together and fix it for you as they should have just sent you a new unit after the 2nd time.
