6810*Please note that the accessory list above covers all items expected to be
included in the XC HYBRID Kit. There are two types of heatsinks for the Memory
and VRM, but this Kit only includes the heatsink that is designed for your card.
It is possible that you may receive extra accessories that will go unused after
completion of the installation manual. Please follow all directions carefully, andcontact EVGA Customer Service if you have any missing accessories or questions.

See the instructions below.
1. Remove the 20 screws circled in the picture to the right using a Phillips #1screwdriver. Carefully set aside, as these screws will not be used again. If yourcard has a backplate, it is not necessary to remove the backplate to install theXC HYBRID Kit, but it is necessary to remove the screws so that the heatsink
and fan can be removed.

2. Loosen, but don’t remove, the screws circled on the bracket in the images to the right witha Phillips #1 screwdriver. You will tighten both the bracket and these screws at a later step.
There is no need to remove the bracket to complete all steps.

3. Remove heatsink and fan, while carefully disconnecting fan and LED connectors.
(a) You may need to gently twist the thermal module to loosen up the heatsink from the thermal
pads and GPU thermal grease. Once loose, gently lift the side of the heatsink to expose the fanand LED connector.
(b) Please be careful when removing the fan/LED connector, because the wires can snap if pulled
too hard. Set aside the heatsink/fan, as it will no longer be needed for this Kit.

4. Clean the card for installation:
Remove all thermal grease on the GPU and remove
any pads that stick to the PCB. Clean the GPU withhigh-percentage isopropyl alcohol and a lint-free
cloth. You may try to reattach the thermal pads to thesame location on the original cooler in case you needto return the card to its original state for warranty
purposes. After you are ﬁnished cleaning, the cardshould look like these photos:

5. Install the memory baseplate(a) Remove the protective tape on the bottom of the #2 memory baseplate. Next, install the memory baseplate as shown in the photos below. Note thatthe RTX 2080/2070 cards have a different memory orientation than the RTX 2080 Ti; the bracket in your kit will be designed for your model of card.
(b) Hold the memory plate in place and turn the card over. Tighten 4 #5 screws (without a backplate) or #6 screws (with a backplate) with a #1 Phillips
screwdriver, as shown in the photos below.

6. Install the VRM Heatsink. Remove the protective tape on the bottom of the heatsink(s).
(a) For 2080/2070 models, install the #4 (a) heatsink, as shown in the left photo below.
(b) For 2080 Ti models, install both #4 (a) and (b) heatsinks. #4 (b) will slide over a post on the memory heatsink. Fasten #4 (b) with 1 #8 screw, as shownin the middle photo below. Next, install #4 (a) heatsink.
(c) For all models, hold the #4 (a) heatsink in place and turn the card over. Tighten 1 #5 screw (without a backplate) or #6 screw (with a backplate) tosecure the heatsink, as shown in the right photo below.

7. Install Pump(a) Carefully remove the plastic cover over the #3 pump without touching the thermal grease. Before you install the pump, make sure to wrap the fancable that connects to the VRM heatsink around the pump in a counter-clockwise manner, and run the radiator fan wire between the tubing so that it
will ﬁt in the middle of the grooves of the insert, as shown in the photo to the left. You will not be able to adjust the wiring after securing the pump, so
it’s recommended to do this now.
(b) Install the pump over the memory baseplate (seeStep 8 to see the pump fully installed). Next, turnthe card over while holding the pump in place.
Insert 4 #12 mylar washers as shown in the middle
photo, then fasten the pump to the card using 4#8 spring screws with a #1 Phillips Screwdriver,as shown in the photo on the right.

8. Install Pump Power Cable(a) For all cards, run the wires from the pump to the VRM heatsink connector. Make sure the wiring covered with acetate tape is seated within the grooveof the #4 (a) heatsink, as shown in the left and middle photos, and plug the power adapter into the passthrough fan connector.
(b) Finally, plug the MOSFET fan cable into the 19-pin fan/RGB connector (see right photo).

(b)

9. Position the shroud adjacent to the graphics card byusing the tubes as a reference. Carefully connect
the RGB LED connector on the shroud to the RGB
connector that runs through the VRM heatsink.
Take care that the cables remain away from the fan.

10. Install HYBRID radiator fan cable and the shroud(a) Install the #1 shroud onto the card, making sure the shroud is beneath the edge of the bracket,
and ﬁts into the grooves on the insert. It is important that the radiator fan cable is centered
between the tubes. You may connect the pump cable to the radiator fan cable at this time.
(b) Once seated, use one #8 screw to fasten the shroud to the insert:

11. Tighten the bracket, fasten the backplate, and ﬁnish.
(a) At this point, tighten the bracket that you loosened in Step 2.
(b) Tighten the shroud and VRM heatsinks using the remaining #5 screws (without a backplate) or #6 screws (with a backplate) using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, as
shown in the middle image.
(c) For 2080/2070 models, fasten one #5 or #6 screw with a #7 nut in the circled area, as shown in the right photo below. There should be one extra #12 mylar
washer you can use between the nut and PCB, if you wish.

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 thepotential to create an air bubble in the loop.
2. The radiator will ﬁt mounting holes designed for a 120mm x 120mm case fan.
3. The default setting for the HYBRID's radiator/fan is to blow through the radiator and outside the chassis. For the reason, we recommend installing theradiator at the back or top of the chassis.
4. If installing the radiator in the back of the chassis, we recommend positioning the tubes at the bottom of the radiator.
5. 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.
6. When ready, line-up the radiator with mounting holes on the chassis. On the outside of the chassis use #11 washers and screws to fasten the radiatorto the chassis.
7. Once fully mounted, use the remaining #10 cable ties to secure the radiator fan wire to the tubing.
8. Your EVGA RTX 2080 Ti/2080/2070 XC HYBRID Kit installation is now fully complete!
