They are the official Alphacool distributor, if they can't get it, it means there are none available

I ordered the Alphacool block for my Trio 3090 on Nov 5 and it was dispatched on Nov 13, from Germany. Should be with me on Tuesday (UPS Economy).

Nice! Curious as to how it may / may not OC better. Wait for the EK is taking so long, imagine will defo be 2021 at this stage
@Jay85, were you still looking at backplate cooling for your 3090? i found a even better candidate for such an endevor, check it out

as you said before like the ram coolers drilling holes will be needed, but the above has a much more surface area which is miles better than the ram cooler idea
oh a quick update i've talked with bitspower and i was a lucky one to get a order in before they went to pre order again, they say my block will be shipped tommorow, there is a week wait at least for the block to come back into stock

Thanks for the link mate, definitely cover the backplate easily but i think its abit too big! It would actually overlap on the end i think, i need to double check when i get in later.@Jay85, were you still looking at backplate cooling for your 3090? i found a even better candidate for such an endevor, check it out

I have the aquacomputer ref block with xcs active backplate cooling on preorder still so its still an option to switch over.

Any word on 3080's with preinstalled waterblocks being available in the UK yet? im not fussed if its a custom one using EK or if its out of the factory like the evga hydro copper. Just cant seem to see any about.
