It's kind of nebulous as different states treat taxation differently... see https://www.thebalance.com/which-sales-tax-rate-do-i-charge-my-customers-3193251 for example. JNCS could very well be rolling up the sales tax into their published marked up price, as they would be responsible for...

Actually pretty common for stores shipping out of state. I remember Newegg/Amazon for a long time charged no sale tax for unless you were buying from a state where they had a business location/warehouse. That being said, there is a mutual sales tax agreement between NY (where JNCS is located)...

Got in too late into the EVGA queue. Spent 2-3 weeks watching Discord/Newegg/BestBuy. Ended up getting lucky by running across a random comment somewhere that someone had bought one from https://secure.jncs.com/php2/gpu.php. Looked into it and they had ~3 3080s and a few 3090s listed as in...

Historically, I've always used Pea or X. So long as the cooler applies sufficient pressure you'll end up with a sufficiently thin layer. It's much more detrimental to trap air than to end up with more paste than needed. But with last build I followed Arctic's instructions for the cooler I was...

I have a ASUS TUF X570-Pro (~$220). BIOS flashback to v3001 and it supported my 5600X without issues. Intel NIC is 3rd revision (B3), which does not suffer the issues of the earlier versions. A little overkill for your requirements, but not outside requested budget by much. ~1:33:25: Edit...

Recently bought the TUF X570-Pro Wifi (paired it with a 5600X). Very happy with the board. The Intel LAN is the B3 revision, which fixes the issues that plagued prior versions. I was strongly looking at the Gigabyte B550 Aorus Pro AX due to a very similar feature set, but people are currently...

I can't hear it. The system as a whole is very quiet, and I had the same concern as you... all prior 80mm fans I used were howlers. So I went with the following: Noctua NF-R8 Redux 1800 PWM. Only criticism I have of it is that the housing is a bit on the brittle side. 2 of the screws chipped...

And done! Mounting it was a bit of a pain. The heads of the screws on the lower bracket had to sit in between the bracket and case as I didn't want to cut into the case for this (particularly now that everything is assembled). Had to preattache the fan to the brackets, then slide them in. I may...

My 3080 arrived today, a day early. I really lucked out finding that little computer store with stock last Friday. I had been playing the refresh game for weeks :( I'm cancelling my EVGA allocations. Good luck everyone.

Found it. At first i thought it might fight with the GPU's fans but in reality it's just going to encourage flow through that area, providing a fresh supply of air for the GPU and potentially scavenging some of the hot GPU exhaust that splashes against the mobo. Great idea. Looks like i can...

out of stock though.

Well, if this drags on I recommend trying the little shop in a week or two. Like I said, they had 3x 3080 in stock and about 15-20 or order to be received on the 17th, but it looks like those have all been allocated and sold out (currently only 2x 3070s in stock...

Yup, I planned the same. Fractal fan on rear exhaust + 2 up top (towards the back). I blocked off the frontmost mounting position with a panel that forms a removable portion of the PSU shroud... not sure if it was an intended use but was almost a perfect fit including screw locations. Will take...

Technically the $30 now is worth more assuming inflation :LOL:

I would be cautious with the combos going forward. There are some reddit/discord reports that graphics cards combo's are not individually returnable after Dec 10th, even though the Combo return policy has remained the same for other products. The problem is this wording: However, other reports...

You madman! :LOL:

Looks like they changed it back. Still New policy says "some combos cannot be returned individually", so exercise as much caution as you think is necessary while tripping over your fingers.. Edit: There are reports of people not being able to return partial combos and having to contact customer...

So much for the newegg combos:

Yeah, I'm sure I signed up so late for the aircooled version that I will not get notified for it until 2022.

i expect the sign up rate for the 3090s was much lower than 3080 (as usual), but still promising.

You can go here for your exact timestamp: https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp Mine is 9:10:33 AM PT ... I forgot what email I had signed registered at EVGA with so had to switch over to another tab to check... :confused: Probably cost me a few thousand places. Still, not too bad if...

Chrome. I just opened a new tab every 10 secs or so, and killed them off after they'd been idle for a minute or gave white page. When it starts working the loading icon on the tab changes to one rotating the other way around with a tiny EVGA inside it. When it finally worked for me, two tabs...

Well, got in at ~12:10est..

Yeah... sometimes i get a black page and think i'm getting progress... then white page. Sometimes it's immediate white page.

:eek:

a lot of stuff dropping in bestbuy.ca :/

Zotac dropping right now. Website running like ass: https://www.zotacstore.com/us/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3070-twin-edge-oc-zt-a30700h-10p https://www.zotacstore.com/us/zotac-gaming-geforce-rtx-3060-ti-twin-edge-oc-zt-a30610h-10m...

There were 3 MSI 3080 combos available. Added one into cart, paypal... "Oops! It's not you it's us!" error. Try again... same thing. Then item removed from cart. Add the a different one... website down "http../1.1 Service Unavailable". By the time it came back everything was gone. Mobile app...

I'm hoping so, since there were no 3080 drops yesterday (only 3060ti/3070) and the have been dropping something almost every day.

Damn! I was in a meeting when I saw that Amazon alert and couldn't react quickly so I didn't even bother... much regraets Good news regarding the Newegg update!

Never saw 3080s come in stock tonight... :( only saw some 3060ti/3070. Was using Ctrl+F5 to bypass cache.

Based on the location I was searching from, they were effectively saying no cards in PA, DC, MD, NJ, NY, CT, MA, VT, and NH :cautious: I've never seen an available store.... tried adding 3070s and 3060s with no intent to buy, just to check if the system is working and yeah... no stores. idk...

Fuck this BestBuy system... Every single card that became available was "Unavailable within 250 miles" :confused: Managed to add to cart at times, but then can't select a store and get stuck here unable to select a store until it becomes out of stock. Am I missing something?

bestbuy drop going on right now

Well, I missed the 3080s during the newegg drop that just occurred (did not see any forewarning on twitter this time)... just happened to be watching in case they did a 3070/3080 stagger again. But then looked around and saw they were also dropping zen3's, so I picked up a 5600x using paypal :p...

Just gave it a little haircut since I don't intend to ever using 120mm fans. Left side original, right side rough cut. Reassembled (after some filing and sharpie) thx

Newegg claims they will not be dropping anything over the weekend, so probably safe to reserve your F5 to other sources :)

Sorry to hear that. Holidays seem to be messing up everyone's shipping. Case in point: I don't have much faith that this item will ship and arrive at my house in one hour... Edit, as expected: "Delayed, not yet shipped. We will email you as soon as this order ships. You won't be charged...

Thanks! I have recruited the wife as I have an android :P
