And the i9-10900K used a 140mm radiator AIO liquid cooler, while this i7-11700F looks to be using a generic 65W cooler inside a case that has poor airflow.
"ASUS ROG prebuilt has similar specs and comes with an ASUS TUF 3080, all for $200 less and doesn't look like a cyber vagina. If you have the patience, I'd wait. But if you can't wait anymore, this is instant ship I guess."

I then got a $100 credit for asking to "cancel" my order so $2444 total.
All of our video cards are OEM (original equipment manufacturer). Dell has always used OEM customized hardware purchased from the manufacturer to meet our conservative restrictions (VBIOS, System BIOS, drivers, etc.) based on our chosen thermals.
Nvidia and AMD have a base design for all of their video cards. That base design is then changed per the buyers (Dell, PNY, EVGA, MSI, ASUS) customized instructions. What you paid for is a Dell OEM video card. Not an off the shelf retail video card. So you cannot use the Nvidia reference specifications when discussing our OEM video card.
4Y12V MSI RTX 3080, 10GB GDDR6X 320 bit width, base clock 1.44GHz, boost clock 1.71GHz
1440 Default clock and 1710 boost clock is the exact same as the Nvidia reference design: https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/gefo.../rtx-3080/
If you scroll down on that page until you hit "specs" and click on "view full specs" you will see the reference design specs.
The specs on the Dell card match the Nvidia reference specs. What does not match is the cooling solution. Many board partners use 3 fan cooling solution. Dell had to use their own custom solution, a 2 fan setup, because they had to shorten up the card a bit to make it fit in the Aurora chassis.
Won't matter soon enough with 3080s being nerfed at the manufacturer to prevent profit in bitcoin mining. Should help even out the market very soon especially once resells find out their June shipped 3080s won't resell in mining rigs.

I've been following 3080 deals very closely and the ASUS ROG from Best Buy was one of best deals, if not the best, from the past few months.
Please post examples of better deals.
