the only thing i was like huh maybe that pushed it forwards was changing the build time or more likely the watercooling as maybe they had one roughly like that prebuilt.

Oh if the GPU isn’t cooled then it’s a standard card.
When I spoke to CS the other day, they said that the water cooled cards are just standard ones that they remove the stock cooler and add the water block - apparently you even get the stock cooler included in your spare cables box which would make sense with the fact they're charging £178 extra to water cool the 3080 (at current price)

That it would be a stock 3080 with the EK Waterblock added which with the price of the 3080 waterblock direct from EK being roughly €100 plus plumbing and labour etc works out

Will have to see what appears - for now my heart just skips a beat every morning when I see "Building" but I know it's because they started part-building and updated the status of the order to reflect.
 
I cancelled again so thats one less 3080 to worry about :( leaving it till may
