You're gonna see some amazing results with yours mate, especially with the lower temps as well. I'm sure you'll see at least 150 points with the lower temps, will push you right up there in the leader board.

Looks like your aio has the tubes going in on the top I would suggest that you mount it so they are at the bottom or change to top mount if your case supports it. Any air in the system will find it's way to the top and possibly the the cpu block can reduce the life of the aio and reduce cooling capability.My last build had the NH-D15 and it was good at what it did. For this build i decided to go with my first AIO -X72 Kraken and i have been very happy with it. People knock the CAM software but i have had no issues with it at all. Right now 9700k is at idle at around 36-37c with a room temp of 24c. What i do love is how quiet the rig is now compared to when i had the D15. Temps dont really go above 75c for me with my i7 9700K at 5GHz when i am in MSFS so overall very happy. I did notice tonight that the 3090 runs a lot cooler than my 2080 RTX did. It would hit 82c in MSFS. Tonight the max temp recorded on the 3090 in MSFS was 67c so plenty of headroom with it. Think you will be happy with the Kraken if you do go for it.
Can see the X72 Kraken front mounted in my pic.
I received a Kraken Z73 today from a competitor and it was in 2 pieces inside the box when I opened it! I first noticed the box was soggy and thought something had been spilled on it at the warehouse, then realised it smelled similar to "anti freeze". Sure enough, inside the box it was all wet and soggy. The hoses where they fasten to the pump were completely snapped off! Inspecting the plastic on those elbows where it was snapped showed just how brittle and weak they are.
I requested a replacement but instead they gave me a refund to then order again, so now I'm seriously considering if I even want one at this point - I mean, if it cannot survive being shipped with no sign of impact on the box, then I don't fancy it fatiguing and springing a leak in my case with expensive hardware in there. The only actual reason I wanted it too was for the fancy screen to complete my RGB addiction, if it wasn't for that I'd stick with my Dark Rock Pro 4 as it is totally silent.

All these pictures of STRIX 3090s and my order number hasn't gone down in 2 weeks :|
"You are currently in queue position 187. Please keep checking your emails, we will send an update after each shipment with your new position."
It seems like people are receiving shipment but the queue status isn't being updated. It would be great to know what position I'm in now?

What do you mean "all these pictures"? There's one guy in the entire thread who has it and he didn't order from OCUK

I just dropped drastically in the queue for the shop I bought from, I'm now at 24 out of 51. I was 35 or something? So either a bunch of people cancelled (unlikely as nothing has changed for a couple of weeks) or they received some batches.
