Waterblock for the 3090fe - what do you have on yours?

[Digital Dreamer]

Hi All,

looking for a water block for the 3090 and fancy the ek special edition mainly for the looks.
Interested to get feed back from people with this and other brands blocks on the 3090 and how the temps are.

Thanks

Got EK block on mine. It does look great on and temps with hybrid backplate mean memory temps on rear are good for me. Was not a fan of some bits like one screw on it being so tight the head snapped off the screw which is really frustrating, fortunately was one on edge so could be sawed off. Others have had issues I think of liquid leaking between acrylic and metal so may be noticeable if you use colour as EK only use a single O-ring round edge of the card rather then in-between at other points. Still does look damm good and for me was a must really as ports at end were ideal for mini-itx build case it went in.

Is that special edition you have?

It’s looking like ek one for me. Do like the look and the rest of my loop is ek.

Would like the Corsair for icue but agree it’s lacklustre

I think the EK block is really smart, it`s the reason I went for the 3080FE over the 6800XT but I have to say I`m not impressed with the quality of the acrylic as it looks like the fluid has bled from the waterways and as I`m using green fluid and lighting it looks really untidy unlike my monoblock which has really good definition.

What it looked like on day 1


And what it looks like now

Nice build and like those bends

Also like the power cable for the fe where did you get it?
