*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 4090 STOCK SITUATION & OcUK YOUTUBE REVIEWS - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***
I am more interested about stock situtation, as it still shows ETA 9th DEC.@Gibbo do you think the price of the KFA2 GeForce RTX 4090 SG 1-Click OC will drop any lower or has it bottomed out for the forseeable future?
Unfortunately Covid lock downs in China has messed the ETA up and they now hope to get the stock on a flight around 17th December.
@Gibbo do you think the stock levels will improve and prices will lower a little for the 4090's in early 2023?
Demand on 4090 is very strong, if pound holds/improves I can forsee AIB cards hitting £1500-£1600 region for entry level AIB models, but cannot see them going any lower than that unless NVIDIA made an official USD price cut but I doubt they would in short term, but come Easter next year who knows how demand and supply will be.
Thanks for the feedback @Gibbo I do really appreciate it. Do you think the KFA2 is a good card for the money vs its peers?
Just hope it will be here before Christmas and be good enough 
also regarding the value against other AIBS, only downside I see is shorter warranty, but other than that it looks solid choice for the money, you can check previous gen Galax/KFA2 cards, cant see too many complains.

The OCUK price is really good and one of the cheapest prices outside of the USA, so I recommend people go for that.

After careful consideration? The card is quiet under load, why would you need a water block for it?

I would prefer custom cooling than aio coolers and its the size of the thing that can be a issue so reducing the size of it will help.
Also have you seen the rgb support stick
Then why did you ask if there were any water blocks without mentioning the one you were already aware of?
Fair enough, but it's definitely not anything that needs to be done to these cards to keep them running cool and quiet.

I asked on here yesterday then carried on looking for more information about my build and found it a few hours after the fact.Then why did you ask if there were any water blocks without mentioning the one you were already aware of?
Fair enough, but it's definitely not anything that needs to be done to these cards to keep them running cool and quiet.
I just remember ocuk forum was a good place to get the info on the latest hardware and software.

Got an order in earlier for an Asus TUF OC ( ST5190544 ) while it was in stock and saw the status changed to pre-order. Is there any way to tell if I am on the pre-order queue or if I was able to nab one?
Edit: Seems like they're marked as in stock again

Were getting 4090 shipments now on a weekly basis and hence why now nearly all cards are in stock or at least have pre-order facility.

Thanks for the reply! Appreciate your timeWere getting 4090 shipments now on a weekly basis and hence why now nearly all cards are in stock or at least have pre-order facility.
Edit: Looking forward to receiving my own

The £400 increase in price of the TUF over the KFA2 is nowhere near worth it, it is literally throwing money away that you could use to buy a new case and PSU with.

I 100% agree with you about the pricing.
If I had not gotten an ek block specifically for the TUF series then I'd go for the KFA2 without a second thought. I wanted the nickel + acetal look they offered (not a fan of plexi personally)
