She's almost ready!
Was a bit of a mission but went fairly smoothly in the end.
Just one screw on the backplate was a nightmare. Same with the 2080 Ti.
It's so diddy without a cooler! I've still not received an updated from EKWB on my order, but I doubt I'll be getting my 3090 before that arrives anyway.

Pretty bad pics (I pay more for my PC than phone!)
It's so much smaller now. I reckon it's smaller than the 2080 Ti.
I spammed F5 so hard when the EKWB site went down. Took 45 mins to make an order.
I hope you get both soon, whatever card you go for!

I've got a 2080 ti now with a EKWB and I am certain the 3090 is a lot smaller. My 2080 ti PCB ends about 1.5cm after the end of a standard ATX motherboard.

Still enjoying every moment of this card, i've had a month of solid fun since owning it. Just waiting on my Racing sim setup to come so i can get diving into some assetto corsa. Had a play on Arma 3 today maxed out on 1440p ultrawide and im steadying around 120fps until night scenes come and it tanks to 60fps lol. Also got a ram block coming for the backplate, seen a few people on the evga forums do this to actively cool the backplate since the 3090 has a lot of memory chips located here and we all now how hot gddr6x runs especially when overclocked!

I agree with you Jay. I will be interested to see how things go with the backplate block.
Have you seen this
That is such a freakin sick setup Jay, definitley has the Cyberpunk vibe.
I suspect mine will have more of "Batman" vibe when it is done heh... I am digging yours so much I am actually having second thoughts though!
I also know what you mean, having a 3440x1440 100hz screen myself and coming from a 1070 its a great feeling knowing you can literally play anything you own and absolutley max it out... I've been playing old games I never really got into before any everything because they just look so good and play so smooth compared to before.
Been tempted to upgrade my screen for some HDR goodness but nothing really has what im after.

That's really interesting! I do like this, its simple and effective without having to mod the backplate to fit. The only thing thats putting me off is the ultra slim tubing, surely thats gonna cause a hell of a restriction in your loop. He also mentioned it needed to be run in parallel yet in the video it looks like he just attached it to another pump instead of plumbing it into the existing loop. Need to do more digging into this product and i may do a buy
Thanks man, it really is a joy to be able to keep high frame rates on games i use to struggle with especially on a ultrawide monitor. I've got the colours slightly wrong in the loop tbh lol, it should be turquoise blue and yellow coolant with white and yellow RGB. I'll correct this when i swap my loop again, should be the correct theme then although this colour has grown on me a lot.
What colours you going for in yours? Batman im guessing yellow and black/grey? Thats a really nice colour combo imo, the yellow contrast will break it up nicely.
Can't wait for cyberpunk to come out, that will be my next go to game to keep me occupied on cold winter nights... especially when we don't know whats gonna happen with Covid over xmas.

yes i think the bitspower ram block is the better option
It just looks awkward, they have a aesthetics with the block but then they go an put tiny fittings with awkward tubing. If they made a proper G1/4 threaded option i would consider it but not as it is.
The 6 dimm EK block is a good shout, more coverage of the backplate.
Soldato
That block looks like it runs on faith; there're no specs on their website for how restrictive it is so impossible to know until built how much flow would go through it if used in parallel and if used in serial it would kill the whole loop.
And it's not exactly cheap given what it is.

To get on the Roll of Honour all you have to do is post a pic with your user name on it of your RTX 3090
That's my thoughts too, yes theres no channels in the block itself but the main restriction would come from the tiny fittings and tubing. The best option for me i think is still a Ram block or an x6 block that OC2000 mentioned if you can find one.
