It's difficult to believe they would make a card like this with no water block options. Seems pointless. An air cooled version is likely not any faster than my water cooled 3090. Very very little anyway.

It's tough to say.  Their HC release has always lagged a bit, especially so with 3090 and the whole supply shortage.  So even if 3090 Ti is announced for actual sale this month [(X) doubt], it'll be a few months until HC blocks come out.  And then we're that much closer to 40-series.  And no other major waterblock manufacturer is even making blocks for KP cards anymore, so not like anyone will be pushing development.  All we had for 3090 KP was EGVA official and Optimus, and Optimus has had it's issues with its 30 series KP blocks.  I bet they're fully aware that people want blocks for these cards, but don't know how it works out on the books for them.  I'd be happy if EVGA partner with some mainstream waterblock manufacturer and get blocks out that way.  (No idea who's making the current blocks) 

I've love to see EVGA partner with EKWB or another larger mainstream water cooling parts manufacturer instead of whoever makes their current blocks.  My MSI 3090 with the EKWB block and active backplate cooling only runs a few degrees warmer under load with the same power limit as my Kingpin 3090 with the Optimus block. 
 
Asus and Power Color partner with EKWB already for water cooled GPUs.  I got the impression form EKWB that theyd on't make Kingpinw ater blocks because of the low demand for them.  However if theyw ere the OEM for EVGA, that could change.

Did EKWB make the earlier HC blocks?  Or has it always been some third-party?

No KPHC apparently (surprisingly), and sure can't rely on someone else making a block for the 3090 Ti KP, so it looks like I'm waiting for 4000 series.

Anyone know the price for the 3090 Ti?
