Thanks OP!
Cards are FHR but seem to be binned lower as others mentioned-gaming and mining will be less.
FYI.
Item number is 3630012.

I am a student, so the budget won't be a lot. Anyone can give me some advice?
hey buddy

i bought a dell XPS 8940 with a 3070(LHR) and dual channel for 1650 CaD

wait for a good deal or type ''3080 stock alert'' on youtube, youre probably better off building your own PC if u cant find a deal like what i got
newegg is overpriced tho, If u dont wanna build go with this costco PC it aint too bad

It's a great deal in this market. However the shortcuts they took make it difficult to upgrade parts down the line.

I purchased two of these PCs.
My friend is using his as a gaming rig. We took the RAM out of my PC so he has 32GB and added a few SSDs.

I was planning on installing 64GB of RAM on mine, but later found out the mobo would only run my RAM was 2666.
Changing the motherboard would require changing the PSU and case, so that point I'm just buying a new PC....

so I took the GPU to make a custom rig and currently trying sell the PC without RAM for 300$.

tldr: if the specs are fine, just buy it.
It's a FHR card too. It's much better value than all the LHR bundles.

I would buy this from you if it had non-F variant CPU with onboard graphics.

Motherboard doesn't have the ports. A non F cpu still wouldn't give you display.

Fair enough. Had it come with non-F variant CPU like Dell XPS 8940, I'm sure if would come with onboard graphics.

This MSI uses standard ATX components with non-F variant CPU for $1549.99. It only comes with 3060 as opposed to 3060Ti. I think it would be easier for you to sell the rest of the system.

Ferland-Et-Boilleau,…
I'm searching the "hot deal" section since a couple of days and It seems like this is the best deal for a gaming desktop so far. (Still avaible)

Am I wrong?

Any hope for something better on friday?

Thx

That CPU cooler is the: https://www.amazon.ca/Noctua-NH-U9S-Pre ... B00TBHYYFK

I personally managed to fit a 120MM tower in mine, but the heatpipes are brushing right up against the metal side panel.
Not sure if the glass panel would fit.

I may dremel the top and front since it looks like you can do that without affecting the look too much.
I wish they left some RGB headers on the board free. I've added 3 more RGB fans to this PC.

What keyboard and mouse did you have included? I received a completely plain generic keyboard and mouse. No predator branding, RGB's or anything that would be at all considered a gamer's choice set. Weird. This was in the new Costco system with i5-11400F ... model PO3-630-EC12. What does EC stand for anyway... Economy? Think they got cheap on the accessories.

Bought one of these at Yorkdale Costco today. They had at least 6 more at about 2pm.

GPU-Z does not identify the 3060ti as an LHR card but I can't this thing to mine at normal 3060ti settings.
It will only mine at over 51Mh/s at 180W or higher.

Set the power limit to 130w and you'll still get the 51 hash rate. You just can't overclock this thing but at least you can cut power consumption.

It's perfectly quiet, as long as you manually set the speed limit using MSI Afterburner.
If you don't, it starts to spin up and get a little loud.

After I sent the post, I played with it further and found that if I left the Core Clock and Memory Clock alone and only changed the Power Limit to 65%, everything is stable.
It's been running perfectly stable, with no crashes, since yesterday.

In case your wondering, Temp Limit is at 71 and Fan Speed is at 65%.
