Where on earth is my Bykski block? It's been "at your local post office" or "at your local delivery office" for 2 days... Do I have to go and collect? I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeed it
Mine showed "Accepted by last mile carrier" then about 2 days later royal mail attempted the delivery. Had to go and collect today to be told there was a customs charge on it that had already been paid by the mystery man

Hey Guys, got my Radeon VII yesterday (2080Ti went pop) and really liking it so far (had a 56 Pulse + 64 Nitro short-term so knew what to expect). Hitting 2Ghz atm at 1100mv and seems pretty solid but my only issue is fan noise. Wattman doesn't seem to control it very well (and AB not at all), is their an alternative? Thanks

Undervolting at stock clocks helps quite a bit with the noise with default fan curve.
Alternatively watercooling it is probably the best option which as seen over the last few pages is the route several of us have taken. Was gaming last night with mine at 2000 core, 1200 HBM in near silence.

Yeah I'm not WC, cba with it. Just after a reliable fan speed control! lol. Don't mind lowering the Mhz if I can find a happy balance, but thanks

You'll find you can undervolt by around 100mv at stock clocks, mine defaulted to 1075mv and was happy at 975mv on air, which dropped the RPM of the fan by about 500.

Cool beans glad you got it in the end, I know why I didn't pay customs charge as I choose epacket for shipping as I always do for stuff from China and have never been stung by customs.

What is this "walking" places thing you speak of? Now I have been indoctrinated, I take my car everywhere....

Had an email today to say now expected 24th April. EK block wont work for me because of the stupid extension piece which makes the card longer. Think I'll wait but if it gets delayed again I'll have to change and get the Bykski.
I think you can remove the end piece, i can check when i get my block next week. I had a 20% off coupon so the price got more reasonable. Initially i was waiting for a aquacomputer or watercool variant, they're usually pretty well priced and of great quality.
Yeah me, finally got round to putting it on today
Just a FYI, the original back plate fits too
