I did water cooling when I was in college. A couple years ago I tried it again.
I realized I'm to lazy for water cooling.
I can do aio's but ultimately, I'd just go air cooling most of the time. I also realized that I really don't want any more than about 300 watts from my gpu.
So, this was a bit unexpected. The rtx 3050 250 dollar model was in stock and it was 20 dollars on sale (I should say from the que).
Out the door I was able to get it for 223.09. A friend needs it so, I'll get it to him at cost.
Just to be clear, this isn't a good deal, but it's tolerable.
I won't buy anything used unless it's at a price I want. I won't be unreasonable but I'm not paying 600 dollars for a 2070 super, 1800 for a 3090, etc.
Unless you know the buyer to help rma it, I would not buy an amd card off stock x at that price. AMD is super picky about warranty and will only assist original buyer. I'm not saying amd makes bad cards but 824.83 paperweights is an expensive paperweight.

Maybe that was the case at the beginning, but that seems to no longer be a problem.

Still more than I would pay, but maybe someone wants it
I'm going with, less bad deal, but...
The used market needs to catch up a bit.
If I want a 3090 for 2k, I'm just going to buy it retail... It goes on and on.

No, a 2080ti is able to do it below 130 watts. I'm not saying it's not overpriced, but it's better than you think. This is my rtx 2080ti from my corsair one. This is just right under my old rx 6900xt.
Price adjustment confirmed
I almost got a newer antenna, but I had a friend who wasn't using his (he lives in town and was part of the original beta). I traded him some pc stuff and he gave me the antenna+cash. We also transferred it to the new address to make sure it would be good. That...

699.99 Now Out of Stock
not going to last long that one
Yea, which is why the 3070ti and 3080ti is still available.
The only card that dropped worth considering was the low end 3060 ti. I didn't see anything else worth considering at this point.
I had an xbox x halo edition, lol...............
I bought it to sell at cost. I figured a local friend or family member would want it.
Wasn't the last retail batch of halo x's in like Jan or Dec?

no bundle - not a good price - but not the worst either - these go away fairly quickly so I'll post the 3080's 10 gb editions I see in stock.
some other 3080's are in...
Wait a few weeks. The white 3080 strix is out of stock.

AMD is strict on this.
I have the same last name
same physical address
different email address than my wife
They refused to start an rma until after I resubmitted it under our paypal email address that bought the card (wife's email address)
*I don't know how much that was*
The 3080 ti from...
