I wanted to order from OCUK like I always ever do, but not keen on cancelling my pre-order with NV either incase Im left without a card....

That's the same boat I'm in, I pre ordered with Nvidia because it was the only option available and I don't have a card. If they go up for sale on OCUK anytime between now and the 10th and I manage to secure a couple, then I'll happily cancel my order with Nvidia.

Yep that's exactly my situation! I have a feeling the retailers NDA won't lift until at least next Friday though..

I think Nvidia were being a bit underhand here trying to mop up pre-orders for themselves before their partners
 
Now that Nvidia aren't taking any more pre-orders I'm willing to be we'll see retailer pre-orders before friday, Most likely Wednesday to get the orders in shipped Thursday delivered friday (y)
Personally an EVGA 1080 Ti sc with a fancy back plate would get my money
 
My bet is on a Gigabyte Waterforce for my rig. I can't see a two fan solution cutting it this time around and my bumblebee Corsair case can only take a two slotter.
 
I have my 1080 Ti preordered. I'm trying to wrap my head around how I want to cool the thing (for high OC) when it arrives.

I was thinking ...

https://www.overclockers.co.uk/nzxt-kraken-x62-aio-water-cooling-unit-280mm-hs-017-nx.html (the exact model can be changed, swapped out for cheaper AIOs, etc, just an example here)

Now that seems fairly straightforward and is explained well through google. However, I'm trying to find information on cooling VRM/VRAM (are these the same thing?) chips. I can't find much on google, but I've pieced together -what- I need to cool in the below picture below. Green for the AIO, red and blue for "mystery chips that get hot and need mini heatsinks attached with thermal tape".

I need to cool the chips highlighted in erd and blue using ...

IC DDR RAM VGA Copper Memory Chipset Cooler Heat Sink
AK-TT12-80 Thermal Adhesive

Does all of this sound reasonable, or am I talking out of my arse? Do the VRM/VRAM chips even need cooling? (for what it's worth, I have a 3440x1440 panel at 100Hz, so I want to squeeze as much FPS as possible out of my system, hence high OC)

I've been running a g10 and h55 on my 1080 for a few months and seen no indications of needing extra cooling apart from the small fan attached to the bracket. Maybe that will change due to the 1080ti consuming more power though.
 
I hope OCUK stick with Nvidia's pricing and don't start gouging again, An FE over 699 is pure greed no matter which way it's spun, I'll just go buy straight from Nvidia if they go down that route and yes I know I said I wouldn't get 1 but excitement got the better of me :p

I do however recommend you get something cheaper to use with the G10. Unless you're mounting your card facing a window then I think spending the extra on the x62 is a waste. I've found 120mm rad perfectly fine. I can only get about 50mhz more compared to the stock cooler which doesn't really improve fps. The best reason to get the g10 in my opinion is to keep the noise levels down.

You can bet they'll all price gouge.

While I don't need a 1080Ti I am thinking about it? If I were to buy I would personally wait for the EVGA FTW3 1080Ti

Pretty sure Gibbo said earlier in this thread (or maybe it was another one) the FE cards will be £699, no more, no less.
 
£699 no freesync no thankyou!

They are only giving out more than 20% because they are clawing and desperate not to eventually cave in. You wait as soon as Vega is about to come they will launch the Titan with Freesync support and probably claim it as experimental only for the next series release. Anything to bloat prices and deflate AMD's balloon lol.

This time i am waiting Huang has enough leather jackets!
