With the blower cards, the fan doesn't actually pull in the air. The air comes in on one side of the card and comes out the opposite side where the gfx ports plug in. You can see the fan move but there's no air movement into or out of the shroud where the fan is located.
Theoretically yes. Even better, in the unboxing videos today, half the cooling design on the 3080 FE is actually a blower. You only worry about VRM heat blowing up through the PSU swing arm. The GA-102 die heat is mostly handled by the thick blower out the back of your case.
"The 3080 and 3090 have a demand issue, not a supply issue," said Huang. "The demand issue is that it is much much greater than we expected — and we expected really a lot."
He's riding the alright.
In another news, his niece is showing us that two in the family can hold up a new card:
The Aurora R11 is the only model that Dell validated with the following = M8HMD Nvidia/MSI RTX 3090, 24GB, 1.70GHz 4Y12V Nvidia/MSI RTX 3080, 10GB, 1.71GHz
For all other Aurora model, we cannot know if any RTX 30xx will function.
@Anonymous I have the 850W PSU. Regarding the information above, so it will not work on my r8? even if it fits?
@Anonymous Oh okay. I just need to find a 3rd party 3080 witht the same size of the FE because NVIDIA is not anymore selling the FE and none in Canada that sells the FE. I hope there are some though.

Hey, are you saying that this 3080 FE will fit in here without modification beyond moving the fan? I really want to get this for my r8.

@HanoverB Is that a 3080 FE? Is it working on the Aurora R8?

@Anonymous To fit the RTX 3080 FE into the R8, I just need to remove the front fans? So it can fit right?

@Anonymous I need to get a 3080 FE right? because the 3rd party GPUs are not recommended because of the placement of fans, right?
