after the 10% promotion.

Probably should opt for the 5600X and not the 5800X. Since the 5800X thermal throttles; even with the liquid cooling option.

"While a 90-degree CPU does not concern us much with this kind of load, it does come at the expense of some throttling. The CPU scales back from 4.50GHz to just 4.05GHz across all cores during the 10 minute window."

Computers deals with just GPU listed, what an amazing time to be alive.
Be careful alot of the r10 configurations do not qualify for the 10% off coupon.

I got a R10 with a 3080 and was not able to apply the 10% sign up coupon. Although if you ask their chat support they can "improve" the price offer on certain configurations to get close.

Also my estimate shipping date was June 7 and I received it 2 weeks after I ordered it in mid April. So I expect the shipping date is overly conservative.

Also the gpu is was a Nvidia reference model. And the ram isn't able to be matched because it's specially made for this configuration and has very poor timings. 3200-20cas

How does this compare to the previous HP Omen deal? I got the HP deal for $1485, but I haven't set it up, and I'm curious if I should return it and get this.

It's easily expandable and cheaper to go it yourself than pay Dell for more RAM.

Thanks OP. I put together a 5600x + 6800XT build for $1575 before taxes (Had some Dell rewards I won) so this was a great deal for a beast of a PC.

Been paying attention to this for a bit and yeah, the 6800xt (also seemingly available sooner than the 3060ti) seemed more interesting to me.

It's not a great deal, even with the bottom line number, but if I can get 6 weeks of mining out of it before 1559 hits......

I've seen various articles on how much that mid July date is really going to affect ethereum mining...


I don't think the mid July date actually converts Eth over to Proof of Stake completely, it's like step 2 of 4 or something?

Your Omen's better in performance considering this Dell is only giving 5600x ($300)/8gb/1 tb hdd vs 5800x ($420~ $430)/16gb/ 1 tb SSD. Might as well just keep it if I were you.

Same. I ordered a R10 with a R7 and an RX6800XT and went through chat to tell them 10% coupon wasn't working. Took some doing but got price down to $1600.

No, ETH PoS is still a year away, unfortunately - I'd rather have $400 3060Ti's lining the shelf at BB/Newegg/Staples with 10-30% off sales every other month than power-wasting crypto, even if it's money in my pocket. Difficulty is going up drastically with 1559 which may halve the ETH mining value (or worse...I'm not certain of the technicals, or how it affects my pool operator). That's still a tidy profit of about $180-$200/card, after power costs, at $4k/ETH, but not the windfall it currently is.

Quote from bearsworth8 :
I'm the guy who wrote a guide to change them if you check the threads. The cards can hash at 99mh+ easily and do not overheat once changed.

FYI, anyone who does manage to get one and wants a slick deal on pads, hit me up. I have some in stock now. I'm waiting for some IRS tax thing to change before I can upload on Amazon to sell, but they are good.
Ill try mining on this thing part time when im not at home. Ill keep in touch in case it overheats. Is there any other way i can contact you outside of SD? An email perhaps?

Wow, 8 gigs of memory and a SATA HDD? Was this thing brought forward in time from 2010?
