My 3080Ti arrived today and after trawling the internet for info on 3080Ti water blocks I came up empty handed, so I took a gamble on the EK-Quantum 3080 Vector FE and can confirm it fits without any issues.

I love this waterblock. Looks amazing. Have any pictures of your whole build?
Not surprised it fits like a glove, 99% the same card really.
Did you run the card on air at all? Any coil-whine from it? If so...does fitting the block improve / change that situation at all?
One thing putting me off doing a custom loop now is the amount my card whines. No point going full WC to quiet down the PC if I am still stuck with the whine!
Infact.... the fans at least mask it somewhat.

My coil whine was reduced a lot after installing the EK block for the 3090fe. However, i think its a gamble. I've had cards in the past that have gotten worse after installing a block and remounting did nothing. My last card the 2080ti, I could hear outside the room with the door closed it got so loud after installing a block

Mine isnt that bad thankfully. But enough to irritate me... and has kinda put me off bothering with a custom loop.
1.) as the silence will be filled with whine and 2.) as I am still hopefully I just might bag a different 30 series card which does not whine. (phat chance I know...)
Still....will have to scratch the custom loop itch one day!
So that was my understanding too, it has 2x more memory dimm's and a couple of the chokes have been moved around. EK listed the compatibly as "Visual" but couldn't confirm if it did or not without any issues. Was pretty much buy and try.
It went straight on water apart from 5mins initially to test it wasn't DOA. No audible coil whine that I can hear. This particular waterblock does fully enclose the card.
Only one I have to hand was when I refilled it.
That is fantastic. Really like what you have done with this.
Looks super clean.
I am guessing the rad is on the back?
