I could be interested depending on the price.

Should be able to pick up my new rig in the next couple days

I would strongly recommend an undervolt and mild overclock on a 1080ti.

I currently have my Asus ROG Strix OC 1080ti running on just 962mV (down from 1.024V) with a core clock of 1911 MHz (up from 1708 MHz stock) and 380 MHz added to the stock memory clock. With a tweaked fan curve, the card maxes out under load at 70 degrees Celsius and is nice and quiet. YMMV based on the card and fans, but if nothing else, the undervolt will do wonders for temperatures and card longevity.

I’m seeing used prices between $800-$900. I think a CP price of $750 is fair.

I see you went with $750, what was that thing worth new? Its crazy what the prices are right now. I gave my son my 2070 super when I got my 3080, thinking I should sell them both and go back to the 2 x 1070 I have and buy a house . . . lol

$750 USD back in 2017 was the MSRP of that specific card, and that ended up being an absolute steal when you consider the 1080 Ti matched the $1,200 USD Titan XP shot for shot in virtually every real-world scenario at ~60% of the price.

One of the fans on my AIO spent all day yesterday getting slower and slower, today it's dead. I guess I'll have to switch around connectors to verify it's the fan and not the electronics somehow (which is going to be a pain, getting the wiring all neat was a bit of a challenge).

Here’s a screenshot of the order from MemEx. I thought that was a crazy price to pay for a graphics card at the time. If only I could get a flagship card today for that kind of money.

I didn’t want to gouge anyone so that’s why I asked what a fair price would be. For $750 you’re getting about 85% of the performance and 5 GB more VRAM than the 3070ti I bought for $1200.

TorqueDog is right. It’s a beast and I’m genuinely bummed that I have to sell it.

Sounds like a fun NYE.

Are the fan headers easily accessible? Maybe plug in a different fan before you tear it apart.

You bought a 3080ti for 1200? Um… Hook me up.

Oops that should be 3070ti.

That’s still not terrible by any stretch.

This AIO has little fan and rgb headers on the top of the radiator which connects to the pump in a cable that's nicely wrapped up with the hoses, so there's just a connection that goes from the pump to the fan header.

Which ends up for a nicer cleaner install, but getting all the cables nicely fitted to the side of the radiator and into that header was pretty annoying, and I'll have to pull out the radiator to get to it.

About time to dust out my case anyway, this is my first case with glass and it's starting to get a little dusty.

Here's the new rig!!!

Case is much larger than I thought, probably could have gone a size smaller.

Zero issues getting Windows 10 installed.

Much thanks to Torque Dog, photon, zamler, nfoitu, accord1999 and anyone else who answered my annoying noob questions.

Yeah, it is a super clean build. My kids are disappointed by the lack of color coordination and general lack of bling



Wall monitor mounts were a cool Christmas upgrade from grandma, I thought:

Hope my 2060 super survives a few years. It's alright! Not doing anything crazy with it. I've noticed the chip shortage in hifi a lot. It's pretty across the 'board'

Any chance we have reached the point where I can walk into Memory Express and walk out with a 3060ti with reasonable certainty?


Been putting off upgrading for a long time now. I just want to retire my rx580.
