There haven't been any since last week, sometimes it can be three weeks between drops sometimes but not usually consecutive weeks. Usually EU drops happen before the UK drops.

30xx Series Founders Edition

I think the EK FE block is a really well finished piece of kit, the way it totally encloses the PCB is a step up from the way they are just sandwiched together where you can see the edges of the PCB.
The only issue I have is that the acetal had lost some clarity even you compare it to my CPU cooler but apart from that it is great. I had a 3080FE in it and it had great temps considering my case doesn't have great airflow, I've just put a 3080ti in it tonight so I'll see how it copes with that as they are a little toasty compared to the 3080.
Exactly, you joined a few days ago. If you would have joined this time last year you would have had some kind of FE card
It makes no difference to you personally that a product you have paid a large some of money for does not work correctly due to a thermal issue caused by poor quality control/poor design/poor manufacturing?
Each to there own but I would be.
The cards are fine for the most part and your only likely to have issues if your either mining which the cards are not designed for or have poor case airflow.

Honestly, why do people do this? That's clearly not what I said
I ran about 40 loops of timespy extreme this time and indeed the water settles about 42C but actually the temps of the card itself don't change a great deal so that must just be where my Ti settles with this block ~56C core and then an additional ~10C for mem and hotspot, it is what it is, pretty happy with that myself considering the cards is chugging down ~400w.
Time to play with the voltage curve and get the power down.
Hang on, I simply asked a question. I didn't say that you had said anything. Hence the question mark at the end.
It doesnt come across like that I agree with Dirk Diggler.
I had no idea what to do when it just flashed up on my phone, but followed the link to the 'ahem' website and was able to purchase a 3070ti founders edition which is good enough for me. Payment taken on my card with no issue.

Omg. Wasn't even planning on getting a card this generation but then it flashed up. Hopefully bagged a 3080!

3080 purchased
Email confirmation received too - hope others have been equally successful, especially those that have missed out on previous drops because of being at work
I might have got a 3080, got an order confirmation from them but as yet no email confirmation.
Edit: I am one of those people who was always at work, evening drops are far better.

That was insane. Was at my phone when the alert pinged, checked the 3080 and 3060Ti both no buy buttons, only 3090 and 3080Ti had buy buttons.
