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.

Shipped on 4/12
Arrived 4/13
Paid the $25 for express shipping which was overnight Fedex.
Mining ETH at 84 MH out of the box, a few tweaks easily took it to 91 MH.
Card keeps throttling down due to the GPU Memory Junction hitting 110 degrees C. I knew this would be the case, but wanted to get a baseline.
New thermal pads and paste arriving tomorrow to resolve.

Your call, but it might save some time and frustration trying to jerk around with pads when just paste might do fine.

I pulled this from the Alienware case and placed into a PC using a much better airflow designed case (Corsair 5000d Airflow). I feel like with the Alienware case you definitely need to leave the side off since it is so cramped.
Hash went to 98 MH and temperature on memory junction is 88 C now (was 110 C and throttling prior).
Core Clock: -129
Memory Clock: +1142
Power Limit: 80%
Fan is at 80% but I am going to tweak the settings here.
