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.

Spear wrote: » 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.
TheValeyard wrote: » Cheers. Might look into that. Although my 3090 hovers around 65C when playing intense game.
Spear wrote: » 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.

TitianGerm wrote: » They only received it yesterday morning and testing was completed yesterday evening. Got an email before lunch to say replacement was to be issued and then shipping confirmation after lunch. Maybe I'll have it on Friday.
