I know EK blocks will be available, but I wonder about *good* blocks like Heatkillers. I expect you'll be waiting a few months for those eh Daz? Or is there any word at all from Watercool?

From what I've been reading all the block manufacturers are coming out with something special for the FE editions.Blue Dragon CM690 II an i7 - 960 x58 build

Those are some steep prices on blocks.
In other news, I've cancelled my 3080 pre-order after the disturbing news about AIB's cheaping out on the caps, which is causing stability issues with alot of the AIB Partner cards.
I think I'm going to wait this out a while and eventually buy a 3080 with a pre-installed block.
If you haven't heard the news yet, here's a link to a great summary video from Jayz2cents:

I feel bad for anybody that fell for the scalpers and bought one of these cards off ebay way above MSRP.

This is the nicest looking Founders Edition block I've seen so far

1. Only EKWB/Alphacool supporting many blocks.
2. Heatkiller is XC3 (reference) and one of the FTW3/Strix (results to be announced shortly)
3. Aquacomputer is XC3 (reference) and they just came out with Strix render
4. Optimus has XC3 and FTW3 Ready. Tuf and Strix is to come. - All that 2080TI research and people sending them samples allowed them to come out with block in time.
If i get ahold of even an Radeon 6900XT, i would consider sending it to Optimus myself.

Yeah they are becoming more available. Lot more options though with 6800, 6800xt, 6900xt and 3080ti coming.
3090 is dead in the water unless you are professional that needs that card.
Deciding on GPU block will be tough since i am limited to three options (only like those three companies)
