I'm not a youtuber, simply created this video for your benefit to maximize the performance of the unit. Here is a link:

Enjoy.
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.

Hope this helps.
You seriously are recommending to self report and pay taxes on your at home mining rig? This is the funniest thing I've read in this thread .. you have no clue what you're talking about. You'd have to be a complete and utter moron. The government has ZERO clue about anything you mine.
Don't give people advice on this and end with a "hope this helps". 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Whether you choose to follow the tax code or how you personally want to interpret it is completely up to you, or in working with your tax advisor / accountant. =)

1) How to get -$135 off for the Warranty?
This option is available via mobile version of the site.
2) How does this 3080 card look like? Is it suitable for mining/intensive use, is it 3- or 2-fan model?
It is a 2-fan model, with likely insufficient cooling for mining, Temp above 100C at intensive use. The alienware desktop interior, 3080 and 3090 cards are shown in this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZYAOwM
3) How to cool down the 3080 card?
Replace factory fans and thermal pads. See post of bearsworth8 for details.
For how much to buy, you need around 85mmx70mm for full coverage of the gpu.
I ordered extra pads in bulk because I can't fathom paying sellers the huge price. But if you are forced to buy Amazon, the thermal odyssey pads are standard and you might need 2 boxes of the one on Amazon. PM me for pads if you want to save some dough. I probably can't use the extra 30 sheets XD.
