That’s good to know, I don’t like the idea of paying a penny over MSRP so would pretty much always get a reference anyway. Glad the quality is there now and people don’t have to pay over the odds for AIB.

Do you have any pics of the sleeved cable? I’d like to do something similar.

Actually used both. Though the competitor site originally appeared about 10 minutes before going live, which gave me enough time to add it to Distill. It was a bit of luck to be honest, Distill managed to capture the link change on the "Out of Stock" button for a fraction of a second. Had the same thing yesterday when the 3070 came into stock. About 2 minutes before it went live, I got a ping that the "Out of Stock" button had changed. Didn't buy one, as managed to grab a 3080
. BUT Distill does pick these things up if you set it up right.

There are custom sleeved cables you can grab online. Managed to get mine a week ago for my PSU model, and custom lengths to boot so fit my new build perfectly. Will post a pic on here once it's done, just waiting for alternate RAM and replacement pump, as the one from a competitor was faulty
Sure. Not got pics in build again as replacement 3090FE is on way today with ydays drop, but snaps took prior with old one. used moddiy, which I think few other members have also gone onto use. I got a silver wire finish, but can do the whole host of finish's, length's, colour, PSU models or just extension etc.

Nice! Did you make those? Or from a certain company in Hong Kong? Also, what happened to the 3090?
yup ordered, think most people did use them if you mean modiy
Had far too much coil, PC is 3m away yet was buzzing like crazy. Can see people got FE models without whine that extreme so sent it back. While some whine is acceptable, this was too much on some of the best PSU's you can use. Seen people mentioned they not getting whine with there FE model so seems I got unlucky with first one.
You go to Nvidia's store when link becomes available and in turn takes you to a competitor site (to OCUK) from where you purchase the FE models, largely been once a week drop for most the part with variation on days. Need to be quick, 3080FE in particular, they sell out like gold dust, talking mins from when the link goes live. Most people will be on discord, or monitoring the link. The 3070FE and 3090FE went up for sale yesterday, 3080FE did not. In past all three went up at similar time so wait and see on 3080FE. Some think may be today to take shine from AMD, but who knows.
Mines ordered from same place and on it's waySure. Not got pics in build again as replacement 3090FE is on way today with ydays drop, but snaps took prior with old one. used moddiy, which I think few other members have also gone onto use.

Doing a drop today would be brave considering it'd hammer said competitor's website on two fronts if they're also launching their allocation of AMD cards.
What time did the 70's and 90's drop yesterday by the way? I'd been keeping half an eye on the nvidia site and missed that.
True not sure hence why I put who knows
though to be fair, 3080s along with the AMD stuff will sell out even if launched today regardless so much pent up demand.Went up at around 3:30. 3070's were on for about 5 - 10 mins, 3090 for a bit over an hour. Prior days its been in the afternoon also. 2ish I recall getting my other FE model. only way for the 3080 you will really get a chance is getting an alert of some kind IMO at the moment, Unless the AMD stuff is so good, puts the 3080 (and 3090 by extension) in the ground entirely.
Awesome, thanks!Sure.

Hehehe, indeed I did mean them
. Went for the full sleeved (black-blue interchanging) Corsair kit for my RM750. Quality was great and fit like a glove!Love the slim cables though....Nice sleek look to it.
