Getting a 2080 super

If you absolutely want a hybrid cooling card with attached AiO then I'd go with the EVGA FTW3.

 

These cards are a bit more subjective to failure as it has more components, EVGA has a far superior warranty policy and costumers service so it will be a good plus to have.

 

Furthermore the Sea Hawk X has always been a bit dodgy... I almost bought one myself at some point due to being on a discount but while searching everything I could find about it there were plenty of issues like very loud operation noise and apparently a not very good looking build quality.

Okey, so if I get you right you wouldnt really recommend a hybrid over a one with just fans? If so do you have any other recomendations?

I'd pick the RTX 2080 Super Founders Edition simply because it's good enough by every means and it's the cheapest card at 699$ straight from nVidia.

 

There are many 800+ dollars 2080 Supers and having in mind how much you can get a discounter vanilla RTX 2080 or the 2070S and 5700XT which games *almost* the same for half the price.
