Will they let you open the pc to check content before paying?
Sounds like someone opening it was the reason it was missing RAM and video. Inside job from Costco workers or poor quality control from Dell? I know what my bet would be.

Try to under clock gpu and overclock vram
If you are lucky with samsung vram, you cam overclock 1100😙. 1200

Under clocking gpu -500 would be great

Mu rtx2060 samaung vram can do 34MH/s and 70 watts (70% power limiter) for ether…

I used to quickhash and their octools very useful. It has oc testing and pick the best.

I am currently using t-rex andit has local web control for OC tuh. Well used phoenix miner too. But t-rex givese more Mhs 2-3 more…

Running dual gpus with 10th gen celeron😃 and 4g ram well unregistered wins10😂 on total is 66 mhs consume 140watts (gpu cards only)

Mine got the Samsung memory. It can upto 1500 before it gets unstable. I keep it at 1300 to get stable shares

Grab it if you can, this is a steal! I was able to get one by talking to red vest, they had a lot coming, but there were 2 in store, the display which wont sell until its no longer an active item and one return. I was extremely lucky to get it that minute, as the return was completely sealed, unopened so i grabbed it. Opened it up, popped the side panel and everything was there 100% legit with that sweet, sweet RTX 3060Ti.

I bought this on black friday online. It had all the components (you can check with Cpu-z).

Runs quiet, lots of USB ports, seemed to run any game I wanted. Hadn't tried mining yet but I hear it's not LHR. I returned Aurora best buy laptop after buying this one, desktop GPUs are just way faster.

I installed all dell updates, then windows updates, then made a backup of the disk image. If you make an offsite backup you can delete like 30gb in recovery partitions on the main drive, if you delete the paging, hibernate file and system recoveries you gain another few gigs.

Had to run these steps to get a linux partion working because the 1 NVME is in raid mode (weird)

Next time do a clean install from a Windows USB stick after going into the bios and changing the disk mode off of RAID to AHCI (I think... that's from memory.) Then do all your updates to fresh drivers. Worth it in the end.

Quote from Mr_Sadness :
Dell branded RTX 3060 Ti GPUs are currently selling for ~$1300 on eBay. So if you sell the RTX 3060Ti, you are essentially buying a PC without a GPU for the price of the eBay listing fees.
Wow, I feel bad for any sucker buying an open box 3060ti for $1300. Bought a FE 3060ti for $399 and a reference 6700 XT for $479 with very little effort.

At $1300, for $200 more you could have a 6900 XT even with the inflated prices. Crazy.

How much are these worth without the GPU card? Only interested in the computer. some people selling it for $575 to $675? is it worth it without GPU?

Might be one in Bend, OR location. Not if they're getting more shipments, probably a pretty popular deal.

If anybody wouldn't mind selling me their 3060 Ti from this deal, I'm looking for one for my daughter's first PC.
Why does her first PC need a 3060 ti? Is she in college rendering 3D models or planning to play eSports competitively? Pop a 1660 super in there and she will have no idea what the difference is. No one is going to sell you the 3060 ti in this for a reasonable price.

I should specify, I'll even take a Hynix 3060 Ti! They aren't great!

I'm holding out for that 12th gen CPU. Hopefully Dell has their cooling mechanisms dialed in for that line though.
