I'd pay extra for aib this round because up to 600w through the FE's shrunk/smaller design=insane noise levels and waaaaay more likely to melt/fail over time.
The reviews didn't seem that bad to me tbh... and given the current price difference (£1,889 vs £2,600+) between the FE and AIB models you could run it undervolted and power limited to 450W or something and still be quids in on price : performance if you did want to keep a lid on noise or temps.

If you could still get them for the £1500ish price they were at one point then sad to say they'd compare very well!buy a 4090 instead
Another one?buy a 4090 instead
It's got a three year guarantee and next card with process and architecture upgrade should be two years max. Next gen all current 50 series cards will take a massive hit AIBs more so if £600 more expensive. 3080FE meets 2080ti moment.
It runs hotter and louder than AIBs, that's factual.
Again, it's science fact that higher temps melt before a lower temp, and you've not convinced me aibs are louder either, maybe some are, but they must be taking the **** at this point if they indeed are louder than a very loud FE...
Memory still hits 90 degrees from what i have read
That's how I managed at 5090FE this morning.
