if you do get another 390x, consider xfx. they allow removing the cooler without voiding warranty AFAIK

Nah, block and size will be different... I have the XFX one for that reason though.

The same, but if you are water-cooling I would have grabbed the XFX one. I wanted the MSI card, but it didn't match my color scheme.

Get EK waterblocks, then, get a multi block bracket. SO you can link all your cards into one big block, just like linus did in 7 Gamers 1 CPU.

I mean, it's up to you. I spent 100 dollars on a special warranty where I could get my money back no matter what happens, but this one is up to you. Sorry i got to go.
