3 days , opened my RMA on the 24th October. Contacted them again after a few days as I hadn't heard from them and they then upgraded me to an advanced RMA around the 27th. Still bloody waiting, yet I could buy one right now and have it delivered directly from them in a day or two

At last someone else saw the light.
QDC are the best thing to use these days.
Even today, I put the watercooled Vega 64 reference to the Predator 360 loop replacing the watercooled Nitro and took me just few minutes to fill the block and then plug it on the Predator loop looking if needs top up for few seconds.

Actually pay a visit on the Vega 64 forum
Vega 64 is it for those who want to tweak their cards and not just ramp up 2 sliders to add 100mhz and job done.

Pretty sure the cooler on my card is a vapour chamber as well, they just used a larger version of it on the TI-FE.
I honestly think some of these issues are down to the "sealed" design, the far end of the card is all metal so the air can;t escape that end, the only escape routes it has are basically 4 slats at the bottom and top which woulds have been bigger but nvidia chose to taper the metal in over the top of it.
I mean look at the top of the card, it only really has a small area at one side that's fully open, then you have the tapered metal section for the geforce logo, then the other side is an even smaller vent area before the pcie power connectors. The bottom has a mirrored design without the pcie connectors obviously.
Then you have this end cap which is totally sealed off, had they left that open it would be better for air to escape. Yeah it looks snazzy but it probably lost a lot of efficiency with having those tapered areas and the end cap totally sealed.
is funny they removed the very needed dvi port in the name of air flow then make a card sealed off like that. They deserve it in my opinion, the RTX series I hate, overpriced, removed DVI port, and too much die wasted.
Seems as I thought that now nvidia NDA is restricting content, Steve said he had to stop because he got an email sayng teardowns are no longer allowed. O_o says about 20 mins in.
I was just going to type what I am saying here and GN said the same in his video.
This insane assembly with all the screws, brackets, glue etc. added $100 to the price of the card.
Also, No wonder they wanted no teardown, check at 12 mins in, the actual fins on the cooler is small enough to fit on a single slot card, on a $1000+ gpu, the amount of metal to absorb heat is extremely low.
