Excellent mate, thats good news! Seems today is full of good news! Take your time with your build, dont rush it thats the most important thing i always tell people.Awesome, thank you very much
Now just need to wait for my parts to arrive, 3080 arrives in a couple of days and the FLTs soon after hopefully.

Drama tonight, long story short it was the cpu block. It was completely and utterly bunged up. Bits of oring mixed with what i can only describe as tissue paper. Weird... anyway rebuilt the block (alphacool XPX acrylic block), filled the loop and... disaster! The block leaks! Immediately took it apart and thankfully only a few drips onto the m.2 slot (dont worry, nothing was damaged). Checked the block, cant see why it would be leaking. Orings are in place and making contact. Did a simple test, filled the block with water and plugged it. Shook the block vigorously and still leaking. Can see water coming out where the block and acrylic meet which means the oring has failed. On further inspection i could see the oring isnt even making contact on one side. Oring looks fine though so maybe acrylic is damaged.
anyway whipped out the old bitspower block as temporary replacement. Looking at getting aquacomputers Kryo rgbpx block next. Abit disappointed with the alphacool block tbh.
new flow rate is as follows
3.89 L/M
Excellent!

I was told the heatkiller block doesnt fit the palit 3090????
I double checked with heatkiller before on this, it fits the GamingPro card not the Gamerock cards.
Ive got an email from them saying it doesnt fit my gaming pro ocI double checked with heatkiller before on this, it fits the GamingPro card not the Gamerock cards.
let us know how you get onVery weird then, on their webshop and website and compatibility list all say it will fit the 3080/3090 reference design which the palit gamingpro is.Ive got an email from them saying it doesnt fit my gaming pro oc
will find out later when it arrives, still waiting.
The blocks arrived in the UK, however i've just had to pay some import tax and duty's damn, nearly £50 in taxes jeeeez. Paid it anyway, not much choice... gonna think twice before buying anything from Europe thanks to the change in the law just after new years.

i think brexit has changed things quite a lot when it comes to taxes and import fees and stuff ? 
It has somewhat to do with it but this rule came out for Europe as well so its more down to poor timing. The only way to get things cheaper now is to buy direct from the UK...i think brexit has changed things quite a lot when it comes to taxes and import fees and stuff ?

yeah that makes sense. still, things could always be worse. At least its on its way !
Unboxed and installed the Heatkiller V block finally , mega happy with it. Not tested the temps yet but idles around 26c with a room temp of around 22c, will do some game testing later for a comparison with the Alphacool block. The light distribution inside the block is insane, its very well lit and hits just the right spots around the channels of the flow. Highly recommend this block to anyone looking for one now.
Also @The_One i can confirm it fits

Great build. The blue and the yellow fluid work so well together.
I have noticed a lot of cool builds with silver fittings recently. Maybe black is going out of fashion now!

Will post something over the weekend, so far though its definitely cooler than the alphacool block but only slightly. Im starting to wonder the orientation i have it mounted is affecting its performance.LooksLook forward to your thoughts once you've tested it properly
Thanks mate! Short video posted below
Me too, already had one mishap last week with the Alphacool cpu block! So far so good though.
I was gonna go with Black ones BUT it was out of stock at the time so i opted for the silver route with black/acrylic blocks. Works well together so far anyway, thanks man!
