Disable the M2 in the bios and it should be invisible to windows.

I didn't have an M2 screw so sacked it off! But will try this, cheers for the answer.

Very impressed with the 3080 FE, idles at 26C loads at 62-65C. No noisier than my last card and pretty powerful.

The Telegram alerts are worth following.

Very jealous of those of you who've managed to snag one. Enjoy!

pretty sure you cannot with them having 1per customer policy needs to go to the address the billing address is but once its with DPD you can request it to be delivered to neighbour or one of the DPD collection points to pick it from

Pretty sure once DPD has it then it can't be changed as says this package can not be left with a neighbour etc and must be signed for by recipient, was a while ago that i had mine but i seem to remember seeing that message when i was expecting delivery

Looking to upgrade my 1080ti, is 1900 a "good' price for a trinity 3090?

If you have £1900, I'd be tempted to just stick with the 1080Ti for now and get on the Discord/Telegram train and wait for another drop..

hartgeh3 · 27 Nov 2021 at 13:12

Where is this train I can hop on to?

I'm gonna try the desktop app. Presumably, your phone has to be on for the desktop app to work?

I don't know, I used the mobile app.

You surely want it on your phone. Unless you click on the links within about 10 seconds you won't get one.

Unless you sit on your PC 18 hours a day get it on phone

g67575 · 27 Nov 2021 at 15:39

I bought my RTX 3070 FE on a desktop PC, worked well (emailed the link to myself). It varies depending on the card.

Do you think DPD would care if you changed the address to your home address? Assuming people have already ordered an FE card previously?

Look at this absolute ****, this is why i hate people.

Paid £649 and puts it straight up for sale for £1500.

hartgeh3 · 27 Nov 2021 at 16:57

hopefully its doa

_Jimlad_ · 27 Nov 2021 at 17:33

Yeah you sort of want them to get scammed.

It does make my blood boil, but I guess it's easy money

This is why I don't even want to trade my 3080fe into cex or elsewhere to flip to a 3080ti/3090 for free.

No matter the approach. Buying then selling for profit is bad. Selling and then taking another unit away from another gamer is equally if not worse.

heatonpkmassive · 27 Nov 2021 at 17:46

No way I'd sell, I got it to game!

Also the fan curve is more intelligent, in the past any AIB cards I owned used to have fan going on and off as it crossed thresholds repeatedly, these seem to have a system where they wont turn fan off until its well below the on threshold and vice versa to avoid the on/off loop.
