I was about to order a 3090 and was curious to know if anyone has concerns about voiding warranty if the retail cooler is replaced with a waterblock?

If the first batch of cards happens to have 'issues' you certainly don't want to be stuck with a dodgy card and a voided warranty just becaue you installed a waterblock...

Thoughts?
 
I was actually in this very predicament 2 years ago after I bought a dodgy 2080 Ti FE directly from Nvidia. I had already fitted the waterblock when the card started to fail. I had to RMA and was sweating buckets that they would reject it.
I said nothing about the Waterblock and all turned out fine in the end.

Well for better or worse I just ordered the ASUS 3090 OC card and pulled the trigger on the EK WB and backplate.

Its good advice, I'll run it on air for a while to make sure there are no problems.

Question though... Surely EK couldn't design a waterblock without the explicit approval / involvement of ASUS as ASUS would have to send them a CAD drawing or similar of their card layout right?
