I am receiving my two 3090 FTW blocks and backplates from EK on Friday! Does anyone know where to get a single slot I/O bracket that will work? I will be running these in SLI. Thanks, -M

This SAYS r9 Fury X, but has the same 3xDP and 1x HDMI layout, so it could work for you: https://www.aquatuning.us...fmNjMhGyBoCqBIQAvD_BwE

I'd reach out to EVGA support and see if you can get one of the brackets for a hydrocopper card as they all look to be single slot.

That gives me some hope, so close to my order #200067727 which they promised to ship in 3-5 days well over a week ago. Who would've thought that backplates (I ordered the black one) would hold up waterblocks.

I'm 200 ahead of you and still no tracking or update to order - still showing ETA of Feb 9; even though I got an email confirming that the order would ship this week.

Good idea....I called them and unfortunately they would not sell me the brackets....Looks like I can get them on Ebay for around 20.00 each!!! Yikes... -M

The estimated delivery date that shows up under your order information is false info according to EK. You will need to contact them to know your actual estimated date. For example, mine says Feb 10th. EK told me to expect my block and back plate March 19-26th.

I had canceled my Optimus block because of the initial claims EKWB had put out for availability, only to be moved back now twice. Pretty much feel like their Jan 7 date was a move to just secure orders knowing full and well they would not be able to fulfil that posted shipping date. Pisses me off as I likely would have had my Optimus block in hand by now. I would have been ok with the premium price of the Optimus just by having one in hand. Mistake made/lesson learned.

EK has been hit pretty hard by COVID restrictions, and they are shipping out faster than their current estimated dates right now. Hopefully they will get your your blocks soon.

The optimus block would likely be here much later than the EK one. I would have kept my order in with optimus and cancelled whichever didn't show up first if you were just wanting whichever block was quickest to get to you. EK is dealing with very strict restrictions in Slovenia at the moment.

Hi, Purchased my block for the 3080 on 15 December 2020, 07:49 at highflow.nl (not directly by EK) And the delivery date is Monday 25-01, because I selected free delivery from GLS . Otherwise it would have been delivered on Friday 22-01 :) I have read that the original backplate needs to be adjusted, is that a lot of work?

I finally received my “free” block and will be installing that beauty as soon as my new radiators show up.

Got my email notice yesterday from EK - my block & backplate has finally shipped. @gonsa - mine was ordered on the 7th and showed an expected shipping date of Feb 12 on the order. I called them out a while ago and they told me that mine was due to ship in 3~5 days which ended up being about 9 days.

Did you order a black or nickel backplate?

Got my EK block for my 3080 FTW3 Ultra in yesterday, fitted it all today and all is running perfectly with no coil whine as a bonus! Just looking at it now I have one question. There's a D-RGB header on the card itself, can the EK block with the D-RGB plug go into that and it be controlled via Precision?

Why it couldn't be plugged in? I don't see why it wouldn't work. It's a normal header. Just make sure it's d-rgb and not normal rgb.

Yes, it “can” plug into the block. No, it will not fit with the block installed, because the connector is way too long and hits the waterblock itself.

I bought a 4 way male to female 3 pin argb hub and an adapter that allowed me to connect my cpu block, gpu block, and 2 distros to my corsair commander pro lighting node. This was the easiest way for me to manage my case lighting - everything done in iCue. Cheap mod - you can find this stuff on Amazon.

That is exactly what I do. Look up pirate dog. He is on ebay and has his own site as well. Makes all sorts of corsair wiring conversions.

I intend to use one of my Pirate Dog cables once I get my hands on the block (ModDIY sell one as well). My block cleared Australia customs this morning so I probably get it tomorrow as today is a public holiday (Australia Day).

I was lucky, mine came on the Monday just before Australia Day, good luck dude, it's easy to fit! Thanks everyone for the advice, was just going to get a controller anyways but just had the thought when I looked at the card and saw the header
