Shiny.
 
Keep us updated, very interested in how it performs given it's price category.  And how much cooler temps are compared to a Hybrid card.

I don't plan to use the included paste which came in a little plastic bag, not a syringe. I'm guessing they don't expect anyone to use it lol. I plan to use thermal grizzly. I didn't spend too much time inspecting the assembly parts like thermal pads etc. The cooler does seem well made.  I'm impessed for the price.

Is there no backplate on the barrow Block? 
Remember, the 3090 got plenty of VRAM that needs cooling on the backside of the Pcb.

It allows for the use of the stock backplate which is awesome if you ask me, the stock backplate looks badass.

1. My front chokes are bridging against the block which is causing uneven pressure for front Vram
2. The block does not use a screw directly south of the die causing uneven pressure for Vram
3. The included instructions are sparse and literally say "troubleshoot to install correctly"
4. Opening up the card destroys your backplate thermal pads and because of point #2 the block starts warping and bending your backplate.
5. General PCB bow issues
 
I have spent more on thermal pads, copper heatsinks,pastes, and this block than if I would have gotten an optimus block
I have spent 4 nights after work carefully working on this thing and it has been a waste of time every time.

If you take that box and throw it in the garbage you will be better for it.
