Finally got the missing piece, RX 6900 XT
Complete specs:
CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
GPU: RX 6900 XT
Cooler: Arctic Freeze II 280
MB: Gigabyte Aorus Elite B550
Mem: Ballistix 16b, 3600mhz
PSU: EVGA 850W
SSD: 512gb & 1024gb Samsung 860
Case: Corsair 4000D Airflow
Gotcha. This should work right?
You think I should remove the retail GPU fans? Or leave them on? The 3080 is LOUD AF.

It makes usually no positive difference if you remove the GPU fans, I would not touch anything. Not the GPU fans not the GPU fan curve. Just improve your case airflow towards the GPU, if you do it propperly the factory fan curve either wont even start the fans (temps to low) or it will hoover at idle RPM. The idea is the overpower the GPU with so much airflow (with low noise of course!) that it remains in the idle/low temperature range.
TLDR: dont touch anything, just improve the airflow around the GPU
If temps are still to high and AMPERE 3080-3090 might be to high with demanding games, its not the airflow anymore its the heat transfer between DIE/VRAM to the GPU cooler itself. The only real solution is to use new (better) thermal pads. Because no matter how much air you move, if the cooler itself doesnt get the heat, the DIE and VRAM temps will remain high.

2TB NVMe for Games
4TB SSD for Games and trash
Also using a LG 27GN950 (4k 160Hz), LG 1440p 165Hz and Samsung CRG9 (5120x1440 120Hz) Monitors.
All that shit just for WoW, Hunt and Diablo II lol.

Finally got the time to finish my Purple-White project.
The fluid seems brighter on picture, then it is. It matches the color of the powercables.
Watercooling parts.
HEATKILLER® IV RTX 2080 acryl ARGB
EK-Quantum Kinetic TBE 300 D5 PWM D-RGB - Plexi
EK-Quantum Velocity D-RGB - Nickel + Plexi
2x EK-CoolStream PE 360 (Triple)
EK-Quantum Flow Indicator D-RGB – Nickel

EK-Quantum Torque Color Ring HDC 16 - Purple
EK-Quantum Torque Div. adapter
EK-AF Ball Valve - Nickel
Alphacool Eisrohr 16/13mm Acryl (PMMA) HardTube Satin 80cm
The powercables are from Cablemods and i need to train the 24pin some more.

Do you just insist on killing your GPUs? Vertical mounting looks good, but it's right up against the glass so the fans get no air
