I think Gamers Nexus said that to change it would require taking apart the heatsink a little bit but that doesn't mean we won't see it happen. It's just not going to be something that is a quick change out. I personally didn't like it when I first saw the card but after putting it in my case I haven't really thought about it.

To you, maybe, to others it isn’t. Please stop calling something that bothers others a non issue. There is no reason to devalue someone else’s opinion just because you don’t think it matters.

I'd love to have my red lips on my 3090 back but it came as a brick so I had to rma it. I prefer the red lips to no card at all which is where I'm at right now.

The tempered glass on the side of my case is tinted, so you can barely tell the red accent is there. I don't mind it at all, and eventually I plan to put a water block on the card anyway. As others have said, if it really bothers you that much, you can pick up a bottle of black nail polish for a few $ on Amazon and solve the problem yourself quite easily. I doubt EVGA are going to swap them for you at no expense if they do make black ones available, so also keep that in mind.

Yea the replacement/swap won't be free. I also don't think they're going to have a replacement plan in place until probably sometime early next year. Right now they just seem focused on getting the product out the door.

A lot of people have put time, effort, and money into having their cases look aesthetically pleasing or having a particular color scheme. Something looking particularly bad or distracting is a valid concern otherwise people wouldn't be dumping extra money into stuff like RGB or all white builds.

SOLUTION: Next time, vote with your wallet and buy a different card that has the color scheme you prefer. You knew what it looked like before you bought it. Alternatively, get creative and use nail polish or spray paint or whatever and take care of it yourself. It's not that hard to do!

I'd say that's silly....but I've seen literally the exact same stick of ram with the same speed and timing and voltages, with one having RGB for an extra $100. Apparently some people really care about what their PC looks like. I only care about what it runs like.

Alternatively maybe EVGA shouldn't promise people that they can replace the red lip.

I don't care what color it is, red, black, pink or purple as long as it works and performs. With the tinted side panel I really can't see the red anyway, or even see it at all when I am using the PC because the window is on the other side of the case from were I sit. But then I don't sit there and gawk at my PC either. I look at the monitor when I am using the PC..... I care more about what it can do than how it looks, performance is 98% of what I care about, the other 2% is looks.

I completely agree with that statement. However, he's also not wrong that it's not as big of an issue as people are making it out to be. It's just one of those meme bandwagon things at this point. Yes it's a weird red accent. But it's on the side of the card. I'm not saying you shouldn't dislike it. And I'm not saying you shouldn't want a replacement part sent out, because EVGA clearly said right at launch that there would be black replacement lips available for people and they've failed to deliver on that. But again - while it may be an issue to you personally, and while EVGA has so far failed to deliver on its promise, it doesn't change the fact that it's not as big of a deal as people are making it out to be.

A lot of things tend to be a BIG DEAL these days, or should I say almost everything seems to be a world ending event to some no matter how minor it really may be. Some people do seem to get carried away these days about everything. I believe there is a lot more to worry about these days than what color the accents may be or not on some graphics card. Seems pretty minor when looking at the big picture, at least to me anyway.

Oh for sure I see what you mean and I can wait as I got a red lip but a lot of times when this question arises I've noticed people acting all elitist because they don't care what their PC looks like as if that makes them special or something.

Some of us are just older.... We were used to not seeing anything in the PC because there wasn't any windows in the sides of the case or even color monitors back when we 1st started. Granted I have been around PCs since the 1970's one way or another... Yeah some do look nice and if someone is into that sort of thing that's fine, kinda like the car guys and their thing.

I'm keen for an XC3 red lips fix, in the meantime I might try some DIY options on thingiverse.

No, it is mounted in the plastic and removing the shroud and leaving it off would be very ugly.

Yeah, it's really annoying me. lol I know it's a small thing but my case is on my desk, and it looks terrible with everything else in my build. I asked Jacob on Twitter, but got no response. I don't want to void the warranty painting it, but the stripe on top seems especially difficult to cover otherwise. Maybe I'll try a cut of adhesive vinyl or something...

I totally understand the frustration since nobody wants a warranty voiding craft project when they just spent $809 on a video card. I am just glad that my case has dark tinted glass so it doesn't bother me.

I don't see an easy fix for this. Most people aren't going to want to either send their card back to EVGA to get it replaced or take it apart themselves to do it. I wouldn't be surprised if they cancel the replacement plans all together and just start giving the option to new purchases. Man, life sure is tough out here.

StormCloak4Ever Someone is posting on Reddit that the 3080 they just received from EVGA came without the clown lips...
for everyone that is being put down by the people in the evga forums saying its a "non-issue", feel validated by the fact that this post is at the top of r/nvidia LOL. but seriously a lot of our builds are a mixture of both form and function. if its going to be in my home, i need it to be aesthetically pleasing too not just a black box. i am okay with waiting a little longer for the replacement, but since EVGA announced so early on that they would allow people to switch out the red accents with black accents but have not given any details on how this is going to happen or when it will take place is probably making us all very anxious.
