Cheers. Might look into that. Although my 3090 hovers around 65C when playing intense game.

Bear in mind you'll need other components, radiator, pump, reservoir, tubing, fittings etc. I already have a watercooling loop that this is being integrated into.

The cooling shroud and fans are completely removed and replaced by it. If anything it frees up a PCI slots, since it's so much thinner.

Can you explain the waterblock to me. Does it slot into the card itself or is it taking up a Pcei slot?

I do, and I've ran SLI since the days of the GTX 295, 11 year ago.

But it's different now, SLI really is completely dead, so I've gone with a single 3090, despite originally considering a SLI setup of them.

That 3090 is getting a waterblock next week, my EK ones finally shipped today, after being delayed. I'll take some pics if people want them. If it works I'll post them, unless I kill the card.

Sure who'd have room for two 3090s anyhow

I don't think they had planned on going as high a spec on it until AMD showed their cards. Rumor is that its the same chip as a 3090 just with lower memory bandwidth from 320bit vs 384bit bus and no nvlink (not that sli is useful for gaming anymore)

RTX 3080 Ti 20Gb - $999 incoming

The word INCOMING is a bit of a misnomer...i mean you cant even get your hands on a 3080 right now...so an incoming 3080ti means nothing to me because they will not be available..

BloodBath

The 6900xt already did that

Surely that would kill off the 3090

I got a Palit 3090 gaming pro and its a very solid card, very cool running and well built. Had a Gamerock in the 1080ti days and it was rock solid also. Had problems with EVGA cards and MSI cards in the past, so I think Palit is a solid option.

I get the hate for the big diamond RGB front, but I have looked at 4 or 5 solid reviews and EVERY SINGLE TESTER said that when you actually have the card in your hands or in front of you it looks a hell of alot better then when you see it on the internet etc.

Id just set it to a solid colour and off I go.....it would be a very nice addition my bling rig.

CCL online sent me an email to notify me of stock of my Palit RTX3080 Game Rock OC (Yes I know most people dont like it, but its incredibly well made and performs better then most 3080s)....did not see it till 20mins later and stock gone.

Deffo trickle of cards coming now especially 3090s.

I was able to preorder an Aorus 3080 Master from computeruniverse.net with 4-6 days delivery time, paid bit of a premium but not too bad. They currently have stock of some 3070 cards if anyone is still waiting on one.

Thanks for the offer, I'm not too far away from Dublin but I should be able to source something more locally

Now I just need to work out how to safely pack up the one I'm returning, as it came preinstalled in the PC so I've no box or correctly sized antistatic bag or anything.

I'd ask what they recommend, or if they care given its an RMA. In a pinch I'd say it's hard to build a static charge on crumpled newspaper.

This is insane! They must have tested the machine before shipping it.
Did it break during transport?
Very unlucky.

It may have broken during transport yeah, lots of protection around the packaging but you never know. The GPU error light comes on on the motherboard and error code beeps signal with the 3080 installed, while everything is fine when trying another card.

After contacting them asking for a full refund they suddenly found they had another 3080 in stock and are sending out a replacement today, so hopefully that works out.

My 3080 FE is delivered and installed over lunchtime. Haven't had a chance to test it or stress it at all yet. I thought there was a bit of an odd buzz/tick sound at idle, hopefully just my imagination! I'll get around to trying it out later this evening. Have the drivers and all cleanly installed and ready to go.

Good luck to anyway still F5'ing or watching the alerts!

There's a bit of coil whine initially alright. Goes away after a short while, noticed it myself and then seen a load of people mentioning it on Reddit, but seems to have gone away for me.

Does anyone know how to check if DPD UK have my delivery now? I had to return my 3070 with DPD here but the Irish tracking doesn't work on the UK site?

Lucky there lads, my scan order is still on the way to the DPD depot whatever that means - probably in transit to Athlone for sorting then out to the local depot tomorrow.

I got the text that it was on the way before the website tracking updated.
