Asus TUF cards are good cards they run very cool.
Just wait, they normally pick it after 4pm to 7pm. As long as you received confirmation you should be good.
FE card or not, the 3080 is better bang-for-buck than a 3070, and is a better buy if your budget stretches that far.
pads arrived today, and spent about 90 mins to change.
Only played gta for 10 mins as I need to go out. But vram temps max 80c, gpu 69c, fans at 1200rpm max.
Only small change to gpu temp but at least 10c down for vram and fans running 200rpm less. Before that vram was around 94 to 98c while gaming.

*rubs hands on thighs and waits for Thursday*
Got myself a 3090, after seeing the choice of 3 i just thought sod it and went for it.
Went on my break at work at 10:00, got the FE Part Alert for all 3 at 10:03, order placed at 10:07 after my bank rejecting it the first time and having to do it again.
Just received the picked/dispatched email at 16:13.
Rather excited! Been running my GTX980 since I bought it in 2014. If this 3090 lasts as long as that, I'll be more than happy.

I haven't got the picked and dispatched email yet now I'm worried that it will be cancelled
My 3090 has just been despatched too! Great news as I haven't had a GPU since I sold my Vega 64 a month or so ago.

Finally bagged a 3080 on my fourth attempt, I finally realised I hadn't updated my invoice address only my delivery one and it kept blocking the purchase on previous weeks.
I also picked up a bargain SFF Asus z11 pc barebones that only needed a Gpu and Ssd on Ebay an hour earlier, truly blessed today!

I didn’t change the pads in the end.
The replacement card works much better, slightly lower VRAM temps. and no crazy 2k+ RPM of fans. The only thing I have done is to undervolt it, which has lowered the temps. and coil whine noise… so very happy with it.
VRAM temps. still peaking in the 90C’s (not 100C’s) but I got 3 years to bug Nvidia if I need to.

I cancelled my order for the 3090...
...then got it reinstated.
Just need to order the rest of the machine to put it in now.
The emotional whirlwind of expensive purchases is all to relatable
What size/form factor are you going for? I saw a lovely Mini ITX case deal recently.
