Me neither. They said it'll be in stock today and shipping will come 3-5 days after...

It’s the FE I’ll be after.
I thought the PCB’s were different to the 80/90

according to Corsair apparently not. But it’s only the model for the ASUS strix they mention 3070 compatibility it looks like.

Recently EK twitted that first shipping starts early next week

FTW3 blocks can't come soon enough. So much racket from my PC I can hear with my open backed headphones.

Obvious thermal throttling too when the GPU sits at 75 degrees in game.

Finally got all my parts after what seems like years after ordering them.

Even had parts delivered to wrong addresses and then the said parts go out of stock. It’s been a nightmare. Anyway managed to assemble my loop and now flushing it out.

That colour is rather jizzy.

redkrptonite · 13 Dec 2020 at 19:31

It’s got blitz part 2 in it plus a bit mayhems uv green left in the system. Will flush tomorrow and put some new coolant in.

Cheers mate. Yes they are hard to get hold of. Even when there in stock and ordered one it went missing in the post. Had to pick one up second hand in the end.

Think i might have to do the same but even secondhand is hard to come by.

Think im gonna end up getting a Heatkiller block, i spoke to them last week and they're developing an active cooling backplate option so getting the block now seems the better choice... Waiting for aquacomputer to be in stock is taking forever, i wanted both items to be in stock to make it an easy purchase but its ended up one being in stock and the other out of stock now.

What’s the best pc coolant? I have a few bottles of mayhems nuke v2 but it’s stained my loop quite badly even though I’ve flushed it with blitz and distilled water several times. Is eks coolant any better for not staining?

Wahoo shipping confirmation for my EK 3080 Fe block, I’ll get the camera ready for you all!

I've been using EK's for some time now and honestly no complaints. Their new range is excellent, no staining or weird corrosion going on.

I just got my despatch email too. Hopefully tomorrow is the day...

Does anyone know if the EK block has a single slot pcie bracket? Some of the renders/sample pictures look like a 2 slot bracket yet there's a couple that show a single.

Has anyone used the Corsair XL5 stuff? I've got a bottle ready to go whenever I bother to setup my loop. (Or whenever my 3080 shows up

)

it uses a single slot I/O bracket. Block itself is slightly thicker from seeing dimensions on zeal page though making it about 30mm which is about 1.5 slot.

Sweet. Recently had a delivery via DPD with them, was very quick couple of days. Cant wait to see it in pics. Hopefully 3090fe block not too far away now

Ordered my Strix block and backplate. EKWB ones
OCUK must still be suffocating under the weight of orders because that was at 1am on monday. Not that I'm in any mad rush. Still need to buy my case, distro plate, rads, fittings, vertical mount etc etc

Any pictures of your build? I’ve got the same card and am looking to do my first water loop. What clock speeds are you seeing under water? I’m currently getting 1925mhz constantly with temps at 68-75c whilst gaming

Heres a few , been 100% stable upto now cyberpunking all night, btw you have to buy the ek back plate as the zotac will not fit, but its worth it as its a nice big chunk of alloy and really goes with the wb
