We have not tested the white version. We didn't have the graphics card here, nor have I found any pictures of the PCB yet. So I can't answer your question.

As a rule, however, I would assume that the white variant uses an identical PCB to the normal one. At least that has almost always been the case.

Hey guys, what's going on with all the delays for the cooling blocks of the rtx 50 series. I've ordered one via alternate weeks ago and now it's getting delayed and delayed. First the delivery date was about end of march, than it was delayed by 2-3weeks and now I have to see on your webpage that you have it delayed again by another 6weeks. Sorry but I'm sitting here with a card that I cannot use due to the size of my case and the whole project was planned with your es block for the 5090 and I need the ports on the back. If someone else would make a block for this card with the ports on the back I would immediately switch to the other manufacturer.

The number of pre-orders is astronomically high, far higher than for the RTX 3XXX and RTX 4XXX series combined. We were completely overwhelmed by this. This may also be because almost no one else is offering coolers for the current generation. Every listed delivery date is an actual delivery date, but currently the deliveries are not enough to fulfill all pre-orders. The situation is unpleasant for both customers and us. We have already purchased and set up additional CNC machines, but it will take a few weeks before we can somewhat stabilize the situation. We are doing our best, but the waiting times are currently very long. I can understand if people are starting to get upset, but the situation cannot be changed at the moment.

Hi Eddy, sorry but that's definitely not the case. My order was delivered by multiple times. I have ordered via alternate in Germany an the order is delayed till end of May. It's the third or fourth time I have received an email with a delay. I have paid an extra for the graphics card to receive it earlier and now you are postponing the orders every time. I'm really pissed but I have no choice, because I need the terminal on the back of the card.

And I'm reading the same things in every forum. Your timeliness on the website are not accurate and you are not able to deliver.

I can understand that you're pissed off. I would be too in your place. I can only keep saying the same thing, because there isn't much new to add.

What I can tell you now is that we will be able to ship all pre-orders by the middle of next month. And that's for all coolers.

Next week, the ES coolers will be shipped, enough to cover all pre-orders. I expect them to arrive in about two weeks. This is a bit dependent on customs, which sometimes takes a day, sometimes a week.

By the way, services related to faster shipping or faster processing by resellers are their offers, not ours. They don't play any role for us.

Thanks for your response. It's clear that the resellers also need some time for the shipping. It would be nice if you could communicate such things directly on your homepage and be more transparent, so that your customers will recognize your efforts and hopefully understand your situation.

I absolutely agree with you. But our system doesn't currently allow for that and we've never had such an extreme situation. We have ideas on how we can improve it with the current system and we have a meeting tomorrow. But to be quite frank, we were simply overwhelmed by the situation.

Dear Alphacool,

Please, could you add support for the ASUS 5080 TUF Edition cards?

Is this something that's already planned? If not, could you please add this card design to your supported cards list?

Thank you
