If it's even practical or feasible to do so.Really interested to see what the waterblocks will look like for this thing.

Power circuitry is on a separate board based on what we've seen so far. Don't think it's HBM2. You can't get 11GB memory with HBM, as far as I know. 12GB would be three half stacks, and I can't see what that would look like on the interposer. And I can't see them moving to 16GB yet. There is still enough room on a half PCB for GDDR memory.
Nvidia, AIB partners or third party water block manufacturers will find a way. There's a decent size market for it so the demand is there. They'll probably just have to get creative and the blocks may end up costing more if the manufacturing costs are increased.If it's even practical or feasible to do so.
Get ready for Jensen to do you dry yet again.

We have a thread for that already.Get ready for Jensen to do you dry yet again.

Yup, read between the lines:
"Rise in prices"
"$1,500 rtx3080, and it barely gets any profit to nvidia"
Which is exactly what I said. Though there seems to be some disagreement about which direction of the top fan is concave.
Not sure how. The concavity of the edge of the blade, follows the concavity of the scoop of the blades, and indicates a clockwise intake fan.
Edit. Image to make it clear, fans rotate in the direction, of the focus of the concave. The fan near the i/o panel rotates counter-clockwise, and is an intake. The concave for the other fan points in the other direction, and thus rotates clockwise, and is also an intake.

Though, it does seem odd that if they are both intakes, why not use the same blades and turn in the same direction. Maybe it's a temporary blade set and it really is an exhaust, but so far the blades indicate intake.
You're looking at the edge of the fan blades but that doesn't really matter in terms of scooping the air it's the shape of the fan blade surface that determines whether it scoops the air well. If it was designed to go clockwise the top surface of the blades would slightly domed like the other fan instead of slightly concave(look at the fanblade farthest to the left).
To be clear, this is a terrible line art illustration of what I think it's doing:

you saying it does something like this?
One thing I cannot get over is the crappy overall quality and look of the heatsinks. The fins are fuzzy looking, not spaced evenly and just look like crap.

Not what I would call "Nvidia quality" when it comes to the look. Maybe it's just due to them being prototypes, but these are not what I expect from an Nvidia reference card.
EDIT: Maybe these are not made of metal and are just plastic 3D printed models for purposes of fitment and clearance of PCB components? Would explain why they look like crap. They were 3D printed and glued together.
I still prefer with airflow in one direction:

It doesn't work quite that smoothly. A lot of that red exhaust airflow is getting pushed out the side/back of the card and then being sucked through the intake with the blue air.
Ah, a blower.Both are messier than the images. But I would choose the lesser of messes.
