AHH! Thanks for that, I'd missed that despite having watched all their videos in the last week or so.

I kept getting notifications on my phone from a few websites saying the 3xxx series are poor overclockers. Didnt really pay too much attention as its probably clickbait but FE's are notoriously bad overclockers on the whole as they start throttling at like 80c+ are they just guessing and hedging their bets ? I guess soon we will find out why Nvidia ditched the blower type for this new $150 cooler. I suspect the blowers wouldnt cope with the heat but then I`m just guessing.

Really? Despite FE blowers cards stopping at Pascal, 2 of my Turing FE cards OC'd up there with the best of them. So long as you have decent cooling, you could maintain decent clocks on them all the time. As for throttling at 80c, well... They actually started throttling somewhere around 40-50c by reducing the clocks in steps as the temps creep up. Somewhere around 88c is where the card will really reign in to keep things in check...

So, I am concerned about the MSI card. It is the only card from all the vendors that doesnt have an "open" backplate at the end. There must be a reason all the vendors have gone for this design (and it's obviously not for asthetics). And I do wonder if the MSI card might be the hottest of the bunch because of this?
All the other cards.
and so on and so on.
Than you have MSI.

MSI didnt get the memo.
You could say the same for the rear fan why has one got it and none of the others ?
MSI might have an open end on the right hand side for airflow whereas the others have it on the rear ?

Yup I'd def go for a card with a ventilated backplate.

What are the chances of the Hybird AIO cards being launched any time this year?
Nobody knows yet. I suspect the ones with three 8 pin connectors are custom. So far the only rumour I have heard is that all the two 8 pin connector boards available at launch date from AIB are reference. But I would want to know for sure before ordering.

Wonder why some have the chip exposed and others don't, wonder how much blocking that increases temps.
Will all depend on the backplate as well. The better AIB have backplates made out of metal so they may help with cooling the back of the chip, some AIB have gone with plastic and have covered the back of the chip and will be blocking all the heat into the board.
I think with this gen more than ever there are going to be some big differences between the cooling performance of AIBs and hence the maximum boost their cards can hold.
Personally until reviews come out I would be going for an AIB that has a metal backplate and cutouts at the fan end.
You shouldn't. This is your hobby and like any hobby, value is subjective. You have been able to enjoy the absolute pinnacle of gaming technology and it sounds like you can afford to do so again. Be happy in that fact. So long as you can afford it, enjoy your technology and don't think of the cost - life is too short and you take nothing with you
Watched a bit of MSI's 3000 series livestream and they are banking on a design that has some heatpipes running above the PCB (and making contact with the backplate for dissipation). Unsure of how many of their models will have this design. If it pays off and keeps GPU temps reasonable, it should in theory help to keep CPU temps down unlike those cards with ventilated backplate. Some reviewers have already mentioned CPU temps being something they will look at for the Founder's Edition. Proof will be in the pudding. Will MSI have messed up or did they take into account both CPU and GPU temps when designing. Does the heat of the backplate affect CPU temps as much as hot air getting blown upwards constantly? No idea.

You'll only have a CPU temp problem if your using air cooling, on the other hand if your using a 360 front mounted rad like I am in my 570x it makes jack difference what heat is being thrown at the AIO block, perks of being front mounted.

When are you going to get the bikes in ?

Same price as last night.. Way too expensive tho...The ROG Strix is up +£50 already
Have you contacted any other resellers asking for stock levels around 17th?
Is it all going to be pay the cash for non existing 3080 and get it once delivered to shop duck knows when..?
