NVIDIA RTX 3080 and 3090, Bykski launches the first water block for Founders Edition cards

With the launch of the NVIDIA RTX 3080 and RTX 3090 Founders Edition cards, a major concern for overclockers was the inability to find suitable waterblocks. In fact, the Founders Edition, as we have already reported in this previous news, have a different design from the "reference" one used by third-party manufacturers. The well-known watercooling company EKWB has already announced the launch of waterblocks suitable for use only on the latter model, leaving future Founders Edition buyers uncovered.

Obviously, one wonders if it will be worth abandoning the special cooling system designed by NVIDIA and which forced the company to adopt a particular design for its Founders Edition proposals, but only time will confirm the efficiency of this solution. br>
In any case, in case you are interested in the product, the variant with the nickel-plated copper base and the acrylic top is currently sold out and there is not yet an alternative for the FE boards. The price of the Bykski waterblock is € 140.

We already know the technical specifications of RTX 3090, RTX 3080 and RTX 3070, as officially announced by NVIDIA last September 1st on the occasion of a special event held by Company CEO, Jensen Huang. However, yesterday, the first information about an alleged RTX 3060 Ti (or Super) model appeared on the net, which should be based on the GA104-200 GPU with 4,864 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR6 memory.
