30xx Series Founders Edition

[Skynet5]

Keen to know if any new 3080,Fe owners have a silent port side fan or not. Now my cooler is off I removed the fan and put a bit of bearing oil in. No real difference, still has a brushing sound to it.


Fan is impossible to source.

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

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

Standard practice on another forum I visit. Literally people posting adverts when they haven't even received received card

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

Yeah this is the issue, many people like you and me want to use it for that very reason, but you probably go up against 90 of traders every time a stock lot is released

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

not sure only know it worked with neighbour but DPD originally tried to deliver to original address when no one answered went to neighbour , not sure how far out address you could request also if you look on DPD site you can insert post code and see the closest drop off spots

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.

I haven't even done anything with the fan, just left it at default and it's been fine. Might look into doing that and a bit of undervolting.

No brushing type noise here, should have rma'd it I returned first 3080fe I had for coil whine and receieved placement within the same week pretty sure they hold stock for RMA purposes

Yeah. I've water cooled it anyway. So not really that bothered. I'll look out for a fan from Ali if this card migrates to a build for my lad in a couple of years.

A few on a post I'm following else where had their RMA rejected apparently Nvidia have a note about it and say it's acceptable.

Good.

Yeah I meant the default curve, I have left it on default since default is so good.

No matter the approach. Buying then selling for profit is bad.

Lol, this is what OCUK's entire business model is. And all the other retail stores in the world too.

Scalpers have just seen the immense arbitrage opportunity with these particular cards and are acting like normal humans - in their own best interest.

At least the one card policy has worked to some degree, as I've seen many on these forums say they managed to snag one.

It's a case of installing telegram and then search for "Fe PartAlert" sub to that and wait for a ping. If you get an alert you would need to be pretty instant.

Not sure it will happen this side of Christmas, but who knows.

Cheers. How long are the 3080tis in stock normally?

That only finds a German part alert and a 3070 part alert. Can you be more specific?

They're one of the less popular cards as the price is close to 3090 but they're LHR. Having said that they're all getting cleared out in minutes.

First install telegram app on phone.

Then on your phone google search "fe partalert telegram"

It should be the first result.

It says;

Exactly this. You might not like it but it's ultimately a supply/demand problem. If you don't like it don't buy one or sell your own for daft money.
