Seems like 30xx cards are out of stock again, Scan has loads listed as Discontinued, which seems strange.

Germany just had a FE drop of 3060Ti, 3070 and 3080 cards.

Either they are still making them or there's plenty in the supply chain still.

I'm sure there were more recent replies to this thread, still got a question over cooling. I know somewhere amongst the 120 pages of this thread a few of you implemented cooling on the FE cards. How did you do it and how successful was it.

Rather apprehensively, I bought a cheapy all-in-one cooler from AliExpress as my 3090FE fans were driving me mad. Slightly to my surprise it has worked flawlessly for the last year, is absolutely silent, and keeps the card at around 70 degrees no matter what. Installation was a slight heart-in-mouth moment and probably isn't for the faint hearted, but wasn't actually difficult. And the RGB bit even syncs up with iCue if you pretend it's a fan.

It was this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002525799242.h... - although Google now tells me that there is an Alphacool 3090FE AIO available which is, probably, better quality. But like I say I actually have no complaints about the Bykski at all, although there is a potential gotcha with that particular design as the pipework goes into the side of the block so you need a very deep case to fit it.
