*** NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3080 SERIES STOCK SITUATION - NO COMPETITOR DISCUSSION ***

a store trying to flog a zotec trinity 3080 for £1,299 lol what a pos
Its actually a pretty decent card imho. But when you can get the 3090 for not much more the pricing isnt :)
SI stock is ordered by someone else on separate product codes, nothing to do with me or forum members. SI allocation comes directly from board partners for SI partners.
I always thought SI stock was delivered boxless and usually bulk packed? If they come in boxes and are identical to the retail products then surely its stupid to give them different skus and both should be used in an effort to reduce queues??
 
Still waiting on my TUF (although got alerts set up for TUF, some MSI and FE elsewhere too). But in the mean time the Aorus Master I snagged is working nicely, just a little to big for me and a bit OTT as I'm planning to water cool anyway. No point ripping off a £200 cooler :p Got a friend who's gonna take it off my hands when I do get the card I want but for now...

(pls ignore the bad cabling, got some extensions on the way to tidy it up a bit! and the dust on the case is just because I've not taken off the sticky stuff yet :p)
What case is that?
 
What case is that?
Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. Pretty much the standard for water cooling builds these days lol, I'd say 50% of watercooled builds I see that aren't super custom stuff are probably in this or the smaller version.

Edit: if you're asking because of the bottom SSDs; often people put fans at the bottom. My intakes are on the back instead, where these SSD mounts would normally be. I just swapped them, I really don't like bottom intake fans and the SSDs look nice along there imo
 
I see the madness continues with the 3080s!

I'm hoping to get a 3070 pre-order in the bag on Thursday. The Cyberpunk delay is a blessing in disguise though, gives people, myself included, a better chance of getting a new GPU before. Whether that be a 3080, 3070 or what ever AMD are offering... My 980ti has served me well for 5-6 years...
