nice setup there, but it looks like you have some GPU sag there.  You might want to take a look at the Lian Li GPU brace kit.  It mounts to the motherboard using the standard atx points either in the middle or the right side of the board.  It also comes with two pieces in which you can brace both your gpus.  Those gpus weigh a ton.  Mines was really easy to install.  I mounted mines using the center ATX holes for the motherboard, but my friend has a Dark Hero mobo and he had heat sinks that covered the middle ATX screws of the mobo so we used the ATX mounting points on the right side of the mobo.  As long as you have only two sata ports stacked on each other, the mount should fit though any connectors there that don't have a 90 degree port would be hard to access.  That Lian Li GPU bracket is cheap, but it does do a great job at helping support the weight of the gpus.  

I checked that bracket does not fit on the RTX 3080 FTW3/Ultra's so they would be burning money on a 48-50 dollar product for no reason.

Not sure if you are talking about the same Lian Li anti sag bracket.  But this is the part number from Lian Li which I took from the Microcenter website:  G89.GB-001X.00 (https://www.microcenter.com/product/605934/lian-li-graphic-card-anti-sag-bracket).  I used this on my case with a 3070 FTW3 Ultra which as almost the same if not the same as the 3080/3090 FTW3 Ultras as they have what I thought the same cooling radiator.  The size vertically doesn't matter as you can  mount the support brace in a number of positions vertically and then slide the brace up or down to support the weight of the GPU.  Like I said in my original post, if your motherboard covers the middle set of ATX mounting screw(think of grouping the mounting ATX screws in vertical planes) then you could also use the ones on the far right as long as your SATA ports are not stacked 3 high or blocking access to any ports you have to have since the mounting rail will obstruct access.  The GPU brace I'm sharing is NOT a vertical mount as the original poster has 2 horizontally mounted 3080s.  You could try and fit two vertically mounted GPUs on the Lian Li XL GPU vertical mount, but the weight of two GPUs might be too much to support that mount without further bracing.  Plus the GPU brace/anti sag kit I mentioned is NOT 50-60 dollars.  It's only 8 bucks at microcenter.  So I'm not sure what  you are posting about.  
 
I might have used the wrong term in my original post, but if you do a google search of "Lian Li GPU brace" the first item that comes up with my computer is the anti sag kit that I mentioned.  This IMO should be considered a must for any builder using heavy GPUs that can fit this when using their MOBOs.  I used this on my son's MSI Z390 gaming when we upgraded his mobo and redid his computer with a 3070 ultra, mines with the ASUS tuff Gaming with a 3070 FTW3 Ultra, and my friends computer with a ASUS Dark Hero with a 3070 FTW3 Ultra with no issues what so ever.  My son's 3070 Ultra had already started to sag after a week before I put this on which is why I went to the local PC store who builds awesome customs gaming pcs who then shared with me what they use for all their heavy GPU builds.  So I bought a few kits as I was going to building my rig as well as another for a friend.  As long as you can mount this to your mobo without restricting access to key ports, it provides you a clean build as no one can see your braces or your sagging GPUs and it doesn't cost much.  If you look at my pc a few pages back, you can't even see the mount.  It's just a really clean look while being functional.

Just installed my EKWB on my 3080 FTW3

That is one awesome build you have there and a thumps way up for this setup.

Ok I'm done after this... fun build  :D

I'm torn between getting a Herman Miller Aeron Gaming or Embody X Gaming.  Not sure which one I'll be going with but constantly in a back and forth while my body aches as we speak.  The con I have for the Embody is there are no headrests for it but rumor has it Atlas Headrest is looking to make one for the Embody as they already do for the Aeron but that apparently won't be for a while (9-12 months).
 
These $300+ gimmick gaming chairs are the worst and I've been paying for it dearly the last couple of years.

Still in the process of working the lil' bubbles outta the loop but:
 



 
Alive & cookin', so to speak.  Finally got the RGB somewhat working on the CPU block and man does it look nice:
 

 
I can finally put all this loop's crap away, clean up the construction area & get back to enjoying the PC lol
 
This 480mm XE (60mm thicc) radiator is something else.  Dropped my load temps another few degrees C, despite the heatload of the 9900K not being anywhere near enough to put a dent in either of the radiators, it's nice to see another improvement... I also had a spotty mount before, so I'll be retesting again to see if temps improve further tomorrow.
But going from a Thermaltake AIO that got in to the high 80s at stock & 96C+ at 5GHz, it's nice to run mostly high 60s/low 70s C stock load temps & only getting in to the low 80s C on a few cores at 5GHz.
 
Looking forward to seeing what this loop can do on a 10900K or 11900K sometime next month, depending on what I end up getting based on how the 11900K performs - I'm leaning towards a 10900K right now because I'd rather have the 2 extra cores for workload purposes, than the negligible per-core improvements the 11900K offers.

My build a few posts up has the 10900K and using the EKWB monoblock. I run at 5ghz all cores and my temps sit around 76c-80c. I have the processor in both my custom builds (work and play). It has been great. They do draw alot of power and run a bit hot

So it runs cooler than my 9900K does at 5GHz :-D Good to hear it cools the 10900K well though, I do think I'm gonna end up going that route, even though I'll be missing out on PCIe 4.0, I think the extra cores for what I use my system for the most recently, is worth it.
