That is less known/sure. While i saw frequent mentions in reviews of many 3080/3090 cards that in many cases same PCB, and often also cooling system was reused, in reviews of 3080ti i haven't yet seen such mentions. And i've yet to see palit gamerock or gainward phantom 3080ti reviews with...

Check earlier posts. Or in short: These blocks probably will be compatible also with gainward 3080/3090 phantom & phantom gs, and palit 3080/3090 gamerock & gamerock oc, but it's not "checked" by Alphacool for 100% sure claim, primarly block was designed around sent in 3090 gamerock oc card IIRC...

Have to adjust my calendar for event to not miss start of sales and get earlier in line to ensure getting one :)

My guess is that originally there will be passive backplate in set with block, but we may expect some active LC cooled backplate in future.

My guess it that there might be active cooled backplate, but not at launch of block, so not worth the wait to get both at same time, given supposedly limited run of block. Rather during wait for such backplate in future get by with eg. extra fan blowing over backplate, or possibly in addition to...

Imho "Eiswolf" should be just option selectable for any full cover gpu block universally, if it's possible to implement it in such way, checkbox/extra product in order of something that can be attached upon normal block, prefilled and shipped assembled, not "special version" of gpu block. Not...

With such approach of direct test fit, by dim chance that there might be some incompatibility with Gainward's (which i doubt), due limited run i guess one should be able to sell block later on to Palit owners. Obviously do report results here, other owners of gainward cards can certainly benefit...

Synologic: or i'd just unmount cooler and compare PCB with pics from eg. here or here with ones of branded as Palit. That thermal pad talk though makes me think that there might be extra hassle with getting right pads to mount stock aircooler back, if stock pads get damaged/ripped.. it might be...

Thermalpad offtopic was regarding pads to be used with stock air cooler. Alphacool's LC block might be designed with other clearances/pad thickness in mind (unknown yet), and certainly their block will include right pads in set (and probably you will be able to source replacements from...

Palit is parent company of Gainward brand, and from what i heard/found, PCB of (gamerock, gamerock OC, phantom, phantom GS, of 3080 & 3090) should be same, only stock air cooler differs. I guess Eddy doesn't want to tell for sure something he had not checked in person, as probably only Palit's...

BTW, does anybody knows where to source those non-standard pads used if needed to? Quick googling mostly returns more generic thickness pads..

COVID fscked up normal working of logistics? Unfortunately common case these days :( Well, i'm certain that we will get quality product at the end and kudos on not feeding us false availability ETAs of inventory and availability. Uncomfortable truth is better then wrong expectations and broken...

Garbage? Not. By looks of it, that block will do it's job of cooling "more efficient then air". Generic oldish gpu fullcover block design. Simplified design cut R&D time & costs, allowing to design quicker and manufacture cheaper. And for some customers few euro saved for "good enough" matters...

Well, for politeness sake your only post on this forum could have been not about competitor's product, of simpler construction and undercutting pricing at that, which probably will rob at very least 10% if not much more potential customers for this narrow niche WB from alphacool. And if there...

BTW, shouldn't there be two separate bios-es, as in one also for quiet mode?

Native Palit bios with res. BAR also seems to be available. Not much of use for me, still on Z77 board with i7-2700K, LOL

Mounting of separate inlet-outlet part with three bolts makes me guessing, that it might be for future replacement of inlet-outlet terminal block to one that also passes liquid to active cooled backplate like EK. But as it wasn't yet mentioned even though might be important feature, i guess such...

10 days since you asked for news last time.

I somewhat doubt it. Do other vendor top 3070 card versions like Strix from Asus/Master from Gigabyte/Supreme X from MSI have same cooler & PCB and do their LC blocks list compatibility also for 3070 cards? One needs to submit pic of one's 3070 PCB or Palit/Gainward needs to answer AC requests...
