Glad I went with an XC3 as I was able to get a block quickly.
 
Not thrilled that they didn't factor in the inductors and chokes with regard to the cooling but I'll just have to get 5-6mm thermal pads.

I wasn't thrilled that they disregarded them with the last generation reference velocity block. I had the 2070 super black and after a year of use with the EK block the areas above the inductor/choke areas on the back of the PCB showed evidence of overheating. Horrible coil whine developed over time too.

It looks like they just used reference and modified the plexi on top.  Hopefully your FTW3 blocks were actually custom made for the card.

Hey guys whose blocks have already shipped, how long time did your order status "processing" last before shipping? For me and my friend it's been "processing" for like 5 days already. What does processing the order even mean in the end? Does EK have our blocks in hands already if it says processing?

I think processing means that it should be shipped out soon. "Soon" could mean 2-6 business days; at least that's what i've been seeing based on people commenting in different threads.

Even though my order is in processing, I was told that the black backplate is the hold up.  Ordered on 12/7 around 10:25AM EST so the first day orders are being held up.  They gave me an estimate of 1/22 for the part to come back in stock and the order to ship out.

Do you have the nickel backplate or the black one? 

Not following.  I said that the hold up is the black backplate on the order.

Processing doesn't really mean much at all. Mine says processing and I ordered mine on 1/6 and have been in communication with support and have an eta of 3/26.

My order was just mere hours after they released these.  The original delivery date was 1/7/2021, which got pushed to 2/10/2021, that got updated to 1/21/2021, and now was pushed to 3/4/2021.
 
I would love to be upset.  But as bad as this is (I built my rig back in September to be fully water-cooled), I don't even have another option for a water block here.  I'd buy an Optimus block, but they are still saying "Next batch will be available November 2020".

I am hoping the estimates are a “long” estimate. Mine showed that it would be fulfilled in February and it should be here next Monday, so it is ahead of schedule.

Got my block and back plate (both nickle) yesterday for my 3090 FTW3 Ultra. Installed up an running. Messing around with an overclock now and success up to +200 core. Puts the gpu at 2145 mhz max. Going one 15mhz step up from that seems to result in guaranteed crashes. Haven't touched memory. Temps in my O11 Dynamic XL have a delta of about 11-12 degrees over water temp on the same loop as my cpu.

That's awesome! Can you share your configuration and cooling setup? Also what thermal paste are you using?

Hey! Did that block fit in o11 XL in horizontal mount?

Installed it on an EK loop vertical mount. Didnt check horizontal sorry.

I've got the same vertical mount, same case, and same GPU block (Eventually). What is your lower radiator? I got the HW Labs 360 GTX. Hope there's clearance.
