The OG Lian Li Dynamic O11 isn't even wide enough to support the EK waterblock for an EVGA FTW 3080. The dimensions listed in the specs for the block made it seem like it would fit, but it's not even close. I had to go vertical with mine. I have the Phanteks mount and I replaced the riser cable with a gen 4 version.
It is not like the 3080 performes any less because it is a $450 card now.
Exactly. More of a commentary on feeling the need to chase the next thing that sometimes creeps in. I have no need to upgrade at all.
I want a new card in 3-4 years, so I need you to upgrade to pay for the R&D. I say, buy away
And who knows, after Nvidia and AMD release the rest of their stack the 3080 may be a $700 card again!
Well it's only a handful of low stock halo cards, not a spectrum of different Nvidia and AMD SKUs where they'd get a dozen pallets of GPUs every day.
690 at best buy lol
It is about that price everywhere but MC.
Blame the retailers. Not yet available on Amazon
They'll price match Micro Center if you have one local, otherwise its YMMV. One major thing I noticed with BB is they've revised their Price Match policy wording. I haven't had to use it yet since they made this change in wording in September, but it now appears they will only Price Match competitors at time of purchase and only offer Price Protection if they adjust their pricing later on. Still ways to work around this, like re-buy and return, but it is definitely more of a hassle to do it this way.
$599.99 for 13900K in the bay area. In store pick up only as there is no MC in here. https://www.centralcomputer.com/int...st-4-7ghz-e-core-boost-box-bx8071513900k.html
MC doesn't allow you to reserve for pick up in demand items.
Yeah, even back when Fry's AND Microcenter were smack dab in the middle of Silicon Valley (as they should be!) it was such a pain to get there from San Francisco, easily 45 minutes one way. Granted gas was way less than $2/gallon so the cost to get there wasn't huge, but still giving up an hour and a half driving was just too much to do just to "have a look to see what they got" or worse when any sort of return needed to be done, then there's 3 hours of driving, or in the case of the motherboard issues I had with Fry's one year, over 6 hours of driving over a 2 day period before I finally just said "give me my money back".
Not a bad deal at all. I grabbed one.
My biggest regret moving up North is lack of MC, all we get is Central Scalpers and even they closed the store in Pleasanton near me a couple of years back, least they were good for ebay priced cables if you needed something urgently.
Getting crazy out there. I wonder how long the 5800X3D will still be in production?
Gone again, now.
back as of 6:17 PDT .. not that I'd want it.
People are buying it??? Omegalul
