Will there be blocks for this card??

you can check out the optimus block in the new gamers nexus video. He spent a long time talking about the block and raving over it's performance. Will be just for the FTW3 cards and is the one  will go with. Looks amazing too
 
I think optimus is head and shoulders better than the other companies when it comes to water blocks. I did a delid on my 10900kf with direct die and needed a super flat contact and theirs was marketed as being the flattest. Wow is all i have to say. I can run cinebench r15 with a max temp of 53 C in the hottest core and thats a 5.2Ghz. and if you dont believe me i can show you screenshots or even make a video.
 
I wont even consider another brand now if i know optimus is making a block

Yes its direct die with liquid metal
I had it on 1.375v with LLC 4

Wow..this is gonna put some competition up against Hydro Copper. Definitely gonna be something I consider now and look into once they all release!

optimus is realllllly nice. but they will be so expensive! 

You get what you pay for, and it’s American made so that adds cost and value.

Looks like optimus released the waterblock. It's coming in at almost $400.00 that's insane for a wb. I'm all for performance but that's going to put you close to cost of 3090

I might just wait on ek

yeah i can see the optimus making more sense for the 3090
but the 3080? doesnt make sense to spend 400 on a block for a card thats $800
 
eventually though they will release their all copper block for $250 and that might make sense for you. But ek will for sure be cheaper

I agree. I think I'll wait on EK or any other brand. I've been looking into bykski and barrow parts recently... they look pretty decent for the money. I ordered some bykski hard tube fittings on aliexpress for a bargain. My first time ill be doing a hard tube loop. Ive always used soft tubing for simplicity... 

cmon Waterblock :D

alphacool released it
 

would be nice if we could purchase it in the USA.... but i dont see anyone that has it. EKWB should have theirs ready too soon. 

EK blocks are available for pre-order as of about 20 minutes ago.  Expected ship January 6.

i was able to complete my alphacool order on alphacools site. it says 4 to 5 weeks i guess they dont have stock until then but to be honest ekwb wont ship until january as well... and alphacool is cheaper and comes with pre cut thermal pads and a backplate. crossing my fingers this gets processed and shipped soon. really want this card under water asap. air cooling kinda sucks, since ive been watercooling for so long. im used to not having to hear gpu fans and getting max overclocks.....
