Hi all, I'm very aware that literally nobody has an asus strix 3090 yet (still waiting on mine too) but I'm planning to watercool mine and haven't been able to find any info on backplate compatibility.

So, an opinion piece:

In your opinion, do you reckon it might be possible to use the original asus backplate, with an ekwb water block, or any other waterblock?

What if I were to do a little light "modding" to the backplate?

I've been looking at getting the ek waterblock because I don't really like the look of the alphacool one, and I know ek specifically say you need to order an ek backplate... but they're so ugly!
