Is it safe then to buy any of the XC versions? even the Black edition?

Hi, I assume the fix described for the 3080 is also being applied to the 3090? I have one coming in a new PC build that is underway.
Thanks
Mark
 [Edit- just saw the photos of the 3090, so question answered. Sorry I didn't catch it sooner, this was my first post here]

 honestly, I rather feel safer/better with 6x MLCC than mixed poscaps+mlcc ...

What about the 3070 is it gonna have 4 SP Caps?

Are you an electrical engineer to understand the need for MLCC?  Serious question as I'd like to know why 6 MLCC would be preferred.  I have very little knowledge of electrical components and their interoperability among other components.  I just know that EVGA tested all their cards and works as intended with GPU Boost (they better as it's Advertised as a feature).

'The BoM and the drawing from June leave it open whether large-area POSCAPs (Conductive Polymer Tantalum Solid Capacitors) are used (marked in red), or rather the somewhat more expensive MLCCs (Multilayer Ceramic Chip Capacitor). The latter are smaller and have to be grouped for a higher capacity.
According to the list and specifications of Nvidia, both are possible. In terms of quality, however, good MLCCs are better able to filter the very high frequency components in particular. In the end, this is simple practical knowledge, which only often enough collides with the world view of a financial controller.' (from Igorslab.de)

Well the MLCC's stacked together work in harmony together.  Having a bunch of small ones instead of one bigger one just means they stack together and work better.

I asked at IgorsLab regarding this topic:
 
Result/Anwser: "Caps are there on the one hand to filter the high frequency components and on the other hand as a buffer to prevent voltage drops. SP or POS CAPs are more shock-resistant and temperature-stable, but fail because of the high frequencies. The FE's 4 + 2 mix is perfect." (Source IgorsLab Forum)
