Alright folks, as requested I created a video with a step-by-step to replace the front fan and repaste the RTX 3080 GPU. The temps in my machine decreased from 110 degree memory junction down to 76 degrees following these relatively simple mods. Not too bad.

I'm not a youtuber, simply created this video for your benefit to maximize the performance of the unit. Here is a link:
https://youtu.be/YklybEdoKIM
"Dell Aurora R12 RTX 3080 Repaste and Fan optimization - Easy 30 degree temp difference fix!"

Enjoy.
You and everyone else. Everyone coming to slickdeals and posting these 3080 deals from dell don't understand that they will not actually ship.

I've done it twice now. Both times they delayed my shipment every month. My first order took 5 months of delays before they finally cancelled and gave me a crappy 10% coupon that expires in June. Everyone on reddit knows not to bother posting these dell builds because dell doesn't ship. They simply take your payment information, add you to their mailer list, sell your information to other companies, cancel your order and enjoy the profits of their farmed mailer list of people who want the latest technology.

Dell is trash tier right now, hell I'd even trust Newegg over Dell when it comes to 3080 products, and that's embarrassing to say.


https://www.ign.com/articles/dell...-hot-price <- IGN did an article on this already. It was full of $1500 3080 builds and links.

Trust me, these guys aren't shipping. Feel free to reply here with a picture of it actually arriving if you think you can prove me wrong.

> If you have the Chase card that is offering 5% rebate at Dell you can use that too.

The offer expires in a couple days. While Dell will put a hold on the $ on your card, they won't officially charge your card until it ships well after the offer expires, so you won't get that 5% back.

It seemed like 3080s used to be more like $1200 second hand. Didn't realize the prices have continued to remain high.
I think they are even higher now

Thanks! I was able to get one for $1718 shipped by using their financing option to pay! Gonna take the 3080 and sell the PC 😂
for the folks who used dell financing, thats like opening a dell credit card with a hard inquiry correct? so opening a new line of credit with them for essentially $100 off.

What would be the best way to repackage and sell this card????
Leery of using eBay b/c of scams, fake package damage claims etc.
