    Installation Guide

    The following instructions and pictures are provided to assist your installation of the EVGA FTW3 Hybrid Cooling Kit to the EVGA GeForce RTX™ 3090 and 3080 FTW3
    graphics cards. Please be careful installing the Kit; there are several very small fasteners used that can be stripped if you are not careful.

    Please be sure to keep your original shroud, heatsink, and screws so your card can be returned to its original condition in
    case you ever need to submit for warranty.

    All steps include removing the original shroud, heatsink, and screws, and then replacing those with the included new shroud, heatsink, waterblock, and provided
    screws, with a few exceptions. Several included accessories may include extras. EVGA recommends a Phillips #1 screwdriver for all screws.

    All suitable P/N for HYBRID installation are listed below. Please refer to the following table.

    Instructions:
    1. Remove the 9 BP screws circled in red and carefully remove the For RTX 3090 FTW3 ULTRA and FTW3 cards: Removing the backplate

    remove the GPU bracket. place the thermal pads on the backplate as shown in the image
    below, as you will reuse the backplate and thermal pads.

    2. Turn the card over and remove the heatsink from the card. 3. Remove the 3 screws on the I/O bracket and set them aside. You will
    Remove the fan connectors (blue, beige, and black) first, and then reuse them later.
    the LED connector (black) as you lift the heatsink off the card.

    4. Using a lint-free cloth and high-percentage isopropyl alcohol,


    carefully clean the GPU and remove any leftover thermal putty on
    the graphics card in the regions marked in the image. Try to replace
    any loose thermal pads back onto the original heatsink/cooler in
    case you need to restore the card to its original condition.
    5. Set the card aside for now, and remove the shroud, pump/wa-
    terblock, and the tube bracket from the HYBRID kit. Place the pump
    in the notched locations in the shroud, then secure the tubing with
    the tube bracket. Use two tube bracket screws in the location
    marked below. Remove the plastic cover over the pump/water-
    block before proceeding to the next step.

    6. Remove the GPU/Memory heatsink from the HYBRID kit and


    place it over the 4 mounting holes over the pump/waterblock as
    seen in the image below. At this time, remove any protective
    covering/tape over the thermal pads before moving to the next
    step.

    7. At this time, you will install the PCB onto the HYBRID cooler. First, 8. Place a paper washer under the 4 GPU screws, circled in blue, and
    you will need to reconnect the fans and LED connector. Connect fasten them loosely. Next, fasten the 5 PCB short screws, circled in red.

    empty. Lastly, line up the screw holes and lower the PCB onto the
    HYBRID cooler.

    9. Reinstall the I/O bracket and loosely fasten the 3 screws you 10. Line up the screw holes and place the backplate on the card. Fasten

    bracket. Lastly, install the rubber plugs into the holes designed for the
    NVIDIA support bracket, circled in blue.

    Mounting the Radiator


    1. To mount the radiator, it is recommended that the radiator be installed at a level above the HYBRID graphics card. This will reduce pump noise
    and the potential to create an air bubble in the loop.
    2. The radiator will fit mounting holes designed for a 120mm x 120mm case fan, but the radiator will need a mounting area of 120mm x 240mm
    (approximately two 120mm case fans).
    3. The default setting for the HYBRID’s radiator/fan is to blow through the radiator and outside the chassis. For that reason, we recommend
    installing the radiator at the top of the chassis. If you plan to mount the radiator at the front of the chassis, you may wish to consider moving the
    fans to the opposite side of the radiator before mounting.
    4. Make sure that you leave some slack in the tubing lines to prevent damage to the tubing or internal fittings. If the tubes are twisted too much
    or pulled too tightly, you may cause damage to the pump/radiator or cause the HYBRID kit to begin leaking.
    5. When ready, line-up the radiator with the mounting holes on the chassis. On the outside of the chassis use #11 washers and screws to fasten
    the radiator to the chassis.

    Important Information
    EVGA FTW3 HYBRID Kit is an AIO Water Cooling System. You do not need to add any coolant, and the system is completely self-contained. EVGA
    FTW3 HYBRID Kits have been leak-tested at the factory before shipping to customers.
    EVGA FTW3 HYBRID Kits are exclusive only to EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 and 3080 FTW3 graphics cards and were not designed to fit on any other
    graphics cards.

    Important Information
    Your EVGA FTW3 HYBRID Kit comes with a 1 (one) year warranty. Refer to your EVGA GeForce RTX™ 3090 or 3080 FTW3 graphics card manufac-
    turer’s warranty information before installing the EVGA FTW3 HYBRID Kit. Should you damage your EVGA GeForce RTX™ 3090 or 3080 FTW3
    during the installation process, EVGA will not be held responsible for any physical damage of your EVGA FTW3 HYBRID Kit, case, motherboard or
    any associated hardware when damage is caused by improper installation.
