Hi.

I'm planning to buy RTX 3080 with reference PCB design,
however I saw there are some versions with higher capacitors.
Eg. zotac, galax, colorful, palit, gainward.

Also some of cards have 3-pin connectors, so I'm assuming they have custom PCB's and would not fit.

I'm wondering which card to choose, so I can put the waterblock in.
Could you post here any manufactures / specific cards that will fit your block?
I would rather wait for your block version if had such an information.

Thanks

Thank you. In meanwhile I found you've added new RTX to configurator, however only zotac trinity is confirmed for now.

And will you be shiping to poland soon? I mean specific to this partner shop: http://angela.pl/

Edit: Now we got more options in configurator :)

As far we know Asus, Gigabyte and MSI are not reference design. We need to wait and see the grphics cards PCB,s.

You listed as supported - Zotac GAMING GeForce RTX 3080 Trinity (ZT-A30800D-10P)
Here are PCB photos: https://www.techpowerup.com/review/zotac-geforce-rtx-3080-trinity/3.html

Are you sure it will fit? It seems to be longer due to some connectors (rgb/fan) on the right side.
EKWB already removed this card from compatibility list.
More details here: https://www.reddit.com/r/EKWB/comments/iv1ugg
According to your docs: https://www.alphacool.com/download/compatibility list Nvidia.pdf
You have wrong PCB photo for Zotac. And I see you're working on waterblock for MSI, good job.

EK made a fault with there cooler.... the cooler will fit on the Zotac, dont worry. Zotac is using the Reference design but a 1 cm longer version with some own connectors. But our cooler has a bigger cutout, so it will fit.

Yes. There are two versions of the reference design. A shorter version and the longer version like Zotac is using it. And our cooler will cover the longer version completly.

The priority for the moment are the 3080 and 90 blocks at our production. It will take bit longer than usual until the blocks are available.
