Hey gamers! I have a RTX 3080Ti Gamerock (P/N: NED308T019KB-1020G), aka the non-OC variant. Looking at the order page https://www.alphacool.com/shop/graf...yl-gpx-n-rtx-3080/3090-gamerock-mit-backplate it says it supports the GameRock OC but no mention of the non-OC version.

If someone can let me know, because I'd like a block ASAP. Me being the dummy I am, misread EKWB's support list for the Palit GamingPro as GameRock and only realised after I'd taken the card apart. If someone would like a photo of the PCB I can share.

The OC and non OC versions of a card have zero difference in physical dimensions in about 100% of cases.

The difference they have is that the OC version will have a GPU chip that is tested to be overclockable at least to a certain degree.

The non-OC version may have this potential too, but it is not guaranteed.

Got mine installed this morning, no problems with gaps on thermal pads ?(Palit 3090 Gamerock OC).

We will get an invoice from DHL in the post for the import / Uk Vat costs. Same happened when I ordered from EK earlier this year.

Oh, well. I'll have to wait and see. Good to hear you've got yours installed OK. I'm waiting on new compression fittings before I can do mine.

Installed mine today (GameRock 3090 OC). Works great! One small issue:
The nut thats supposed to hold the rear IO plate is too big. Causes the PCB to bend if installed. Removed them both, and its fine now

@Synologic Can you please tell what are the total dimensions of combined gpu with wb? Do they match 124,5 x 215,6 x 25 mm like it says in the shop? On some resources it says that the height is 143mm. Thank you.

I had no issue with the io plate on mine.

Edit.

Rechecked mine and found the same as others, the nut touches the back plate and bends the board. Putting the bolt in from the opposite side fixes the issue.

If you only ordered the block you'll be below the £150 limit for import duty/VAT. I ordered several bits (about £300 worth) and mine is sat 1.2 miles away at the Royal Mail local depot waiting for me to pay the duty but the card I need hasn't arrived yet :(

Okay epic gamers. I've attached HQ photos here: Hopefully everything is good, and I can shortly be gaining some epic chicken dinners in fortnight at 69FPS 8K.
hi, one question, are these your pictures? Or did you find them somewhere on the net? That is important to know in order to be able to make a clear statement.

Confirmed..... Gamerock 3080/3090 cooler fits also on 3080TI. Thanks a lot for the picture. (y)
Eddy: just that installation manual lists different pads for 3080 & 3090 cards (probably due absence of few memory chips on former). - I guess it's worth to update (at least online manual version downlaodable from product at shop page link) with which pads to use with 3080Ti variety..

I didn't get into the topmost slot with the water block, something is interfering. Without a water block, the card was in the topmost slot.
