The Bykski blocks are fun. Zero instructions. Good job I've got a lot of experience fitting blocks lol. I'm adding the extra pads to the backplate for the rear of the Vram and package. There's so many cards using backplates that have a detrimental affect by holding heat in due to using no pads between the PCB and backplate.
 
Just managed to bag a Powercolor 6900XT Red Devil Ultimate from another place for £1799, should be here tomorrow.

Now i need to sell my MBA waterblock and backplate and look at maybe getting one for this.

TBH they had the Liquid Devil ultimate on there too for £1999 but didnt want to have to watercool straight away.

Its a nice looking card. When I was looking for a 6900XT, I had three in mind, the TUF, The Sapphire or the Red Devil Ultimate. It just so happens the TUF came up, so that's the one I have. If I was still looking, I would have gone for the Red Devil that's available.

Yeah I had purchased a TUF one off eBay only yesterday before I saw that one and then cancelled it once I placed the power colour one.

Tbh I wanted a Red Devil one after owning a 5700XT

That's fair enough. What was the price of the TUF on the obvious auction site, if you don't mind me asking? I managed to get the TUF from OCUK or £1699.99.

It was boxed and sealed for only £1550 delivered.
But I was also worried about warranty

That's a good price at the moment for a new sealed card. I do prefer, even in these times, to buy from a predominant retailer as your fully covered if things go wrong. However, I have recently sold my 3090 (when the TUF became available) and provided the new owner with an invoice just in case they have issues with it. In fact the guy that purchased it requested it as part of the sale. So I provided it for him, no worries really.

Yeah Asus can be really funny regarding warranty with only the original purchaser hence me preferring the Red Devil for the difference in price.
I wanted a 3090 but for the love of money couldnt get a FE anywhere and so my Budget kept increasing.

i just hope I won’t regret getting this over the 3090

I try and buy ASUS ROG when I can, I was just lucky the TUF came up really.

I don't think you'll be disappointed with the 6900XT, I've used both and I'm happy with the 6900XT in all my games. The 6900XT is good at temps too, even in the OC mode, and I find it handles all the games I throw at it on Ultra type settings really good. My 3090, pushed out a load of heat in my case when I pushed it and that's with a Lian-Li 011 Dynamic XL case and 10 fans doing their job in my case. Other than that is was also rather a good card. Like I said before, my main reason for the 6900XT was I have an AMD setup, so I'm a little biased I suppose? ;)

If you've got a latest MB and up to date MB BIOS, don't forget to turn on SAM in your MB too.;)
