30xx Series Founders Edition

So bummed. Was at my desk 30 seconds before the links went live, stood up to get some painkillers for a cracking headache, and when I got back 2 minutes later I see the alerts and the 3080's were out of stock again :(
 
I literally opened discord on my phone as the notification went out for the 3070, it was more luck than judgement.

likewise but for the 3080. Read a tip that stock was dropping at 2pm. At 10 past I was ready to give up and go back to helping with the baby. Only caught it because the wife hadn’t finished feeding her and I squeezed out another cheeky few minutes.

I think the alert went out at 14:13. Was sold out at 14:15.

The 70's and 90's hung around for a good 30-40 mins, the 80's disapeared pretty quickly, within minutes.

Tues/Wed/Thurs 2:00 to 2:30 seems to be a good time to take a lunch break for anyone still wanting one ;)

And for those that did... it can take a while to a) show up on your account.. and b) show as authorised/confirmed, sometimes up until about 8:30pm (iirc)

I must have just about scraped in then. I posted in this thread as soon as my purchase completed and that was at 14:16 :D. Will not get too excited until it's dispatched.

Are there any waterblocks that will be available for the fe 3080? I'm more than likely gonna hold out for a 6000 series card from team red, but I might change my mind nearer the time.

There are few, EK literally put there one up for pre order, arrive in dec, though is near 300 Euros. Bitspower have one coming as does corsair and Bykski. None are yet available, seem to be coming out or in stock next month or so.

Ekwb's can be ordered on their website (€290 though). Bykski's can be found if you hunt around
Good lord!! No way would I pay that much for a water block - crikey, how can they justify that!? Byksi's one might have to suffice then.
I don't think there are any waterblocks yet for the fe editions but there should be soon
I'll keep my eye's open for one, that is hopefully a lot cheaper than EK's
