Strange, I bought block for my previous GPU it was GTX 980 waterblock with Active backplate and waiting time was like 14 days, now when 3000 series GPUs are so hard to buy, stock of waterblocks should be full, unless AQ is one man company that makes them in spare time.
I made an order on November 19th. Received email response today stating all my items are reserved, but they will need 4-5 more weeks to fulfill it, so 28-35 more days or 107-114 days total for fulfillment. If you order less items than me it may be fulfilled sooner. Keep in mind the "Flow sensor high flow NEXT, G1/4" may have been delayed because a bunch of units had manufacturing issues that affected the flow and resulted in increased noise of which they recalled and are/have fixed. Further, the strix block had to be delayed/recalled due to high capacitor issues on some GPUs that required them to do additional milling. Below is the items I ordered.
1 x Flow sensor high flow NEXT, G1/4
1 x kryographics NEXT RTX 3080 Strix / RTX 3090 Strix, nickel plated version
1 x Back plate for kryographics NEXT RTX 3080 Strix / RTX 3090 Strix, active XCS
1 x VISION RGBpx connection terminal for kryographics with active back plate
Ok order seems shipped so i suspect they are getting the backlog under control slowly, now let's hope the gpu ordered the same day finally reaches my door too.
It is really an impressive shift in volumes. Ibthink nobody could have been ready for this. Even automobile factory seems to be slowed down due to silicon shortage.
