I'm so pumped. Surprised me that it was metal. It looks just like the (I assume) plastic shroud from the FTW3 Hybrid just painted differently. That one's plastic, right?

The shroud could be soggy spaghetti for me, I just want that sweet sweet waterblock action.  (No news, not looking hopeful)

Function over pretty for me. Pretty adds to cost.

Yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up at this point. I've got one build on custom loop and one build on air. I'll just have to enjoy this card on my HTPC, I guess

If there is ever going to be a 3090 Ti KingPin block at all, it would appear that the only one would be an EVGA Hydrocopper, and there is zero confirmation (that I'm aware of) that even a KPHC block will ever happen, unfortunately. That's why I'm waiting on EK for the 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra block (which they confirmed is coming) ...and waiting... 
 
My 3090 Ti FTW3 Ultra is still in the box unopened, but not sure I can wait much longer, I might just have to go ahead and rebuild with a CPU only loop soon ..it's been a while since I've had an air cooled GPU.

Yeah single loop.. one would want to pre test that card before going threw all that and then find out theirs a problem and tear it all down.

Besides.. ya would also like to know the before and after temps haha.

AHowes
