I got my 3080 and I fitted a waterblock to it and overclocked it

Buy in person, that is obviously the way to do it. Beats F5ing all day

Was anyone else doing the same?

I did at 2:00pm, I knew the website was going to be dead as always with a Nvidia new launch. I live 50 yds away from OcUK.

Probably the only chance of getting one on launch day, so who's up for camping on the pavement overnight outside OCuk when the 3090's go on sale?

You guys realise the shop is not open currently. I phoned them at 2pm and placed my order over the phone whilst the website was crashing for everybody. I used their collection (covid safe) service they are offering during the pandemic, it involves you calling them when you are parked in one of their collection baysand a warehouse person brings your order to your car.

Are the images not loading for anyone else? Did you take them down @Ace Modder ?

What adblockers are you using, and are any of them blocking dropbox, because that is where he hosted them.

I think it must be Privacy Badger. All my adblocking is at the router level but it loaded fine on my mobile. Ta

It impresses me that without the cooler how tight the pcb is.

I doubt I’ll need to upgrade my 1080Ti until the 4 series.

Next time im doing this, i only live 2 hours away, i would prefer 4 hours driving over 2 days of trying to get the website to load

, Might as well make a day out of it and see whats happening in Stoke.

Thank you

Ah so 3080s can do over 2ghz core! Seems to really stretch it's legs with that OC.

The alphacool block has two circular seals it looks like?

phatboy · 20 Sep 2020 at 08:07

That's mightily impressive. Thanks for sharing

Beautiful setup too

No RGB PSU, go away.

Fantastic upgrade over the 1080ti. :cool:

Guest2 · 20 Sep 2020 at 08:57

Nice. I would be interested to know its overclocking capability to see how far it pulls ahead of an overclocked 2080Ti.
What's the max Heaven 4 bench FPS you have had out of it?

martynpd · 20 Sep 2020 at 11:01

Hello, is there any chance you can run a 3dmark time spy at stock please with the waterblock on. It'll be interesting to see if it gains more frames due to the card not downclocking because of heat. my 2080ti gained a lot more performance putting it on water just because of the downclocking.\
thanks

Stu999 · 20 Sep 2020 at 11:05

Looks great, nice setup. Not jealous at all

Very convenient, was there a queue, or could you walk straight in?
