so far its testing perfectly its not a harvested gpu ran through haven 3150mhz core no massive dips its far lighter then id expected temps are 55c max during testing.
You've got to give more info than that, mate. Make a thread. I don't get how you just got a 4080 WF card for $400. The cheapest I have seen was on sale for $1300. Have you made sure it is, in fact, a 4080 and doesn't have spoofed Bios? For your sake, I hope you scored. I'm just not sure why or how anyone is selling this chip for that price is it used?

That has to be the deal of the year. I like to think I've got some good deals on used stuff. But never on PC equipment.



Ordered the 2 main parts to make a router table. A lift & a fence. Bought from Banggood and still $725 after the 11.11 discount. :(

It is more like the deal of the century, I would love to see a Cuda core count along with memory and is it performing as a 4080 should, I have so many questions cause as I said before I don't see how or why anyone would sell a 4080 for this cheap, even used on eBay there is nothing working under $1000 CAD. I have my doubts but for his sake I hope I am wrong.

Could be like an estate sale, or a divorce, or stolen in some other manner... I'm guessing sometimes people don't really know what they're selling and how much it's worth.

Yeah, the only thing I think is that he made it sound like it was from a semi-reputable site and wasn't used. IE made it seem like this wasn't a one-off used card deal.

But you're right; it could be many of those things, and he didn't give enough information to make that clear.

I just got my Eddie Bauer down winter parka. They run sales, this time of year, and I got a $459 (on the rack) jacket for $156--in the door. Seems to be top-tier quality. It's 'paprika' coloured, because I'm a cheap prick. (Not being fussy, and it being a backyard-stand-and-wait-for-my-avatar coat, it matches Healey's coat perfectly.) The colours the cool kids wear, are a $25 premium. Last year I tried the 'Stadium' length coat, but it restricted my movements carrying Healey down stairs. They were short on variety by the time a return was accomplished. Easy return tho. Shipping was free, and idp includes tax. The rack price does not. Got enough budget left over to consider a decent little PC upgrade.

For now, I'm free, happy, & warm, as I take a moment to remember. 🌹

Pretty close to being in perfect shape. He said he used it once. $40.

And more car audio stuff lol. Audison SR5 5 channel amp. Really high quality brand. Not huge on power. But definitely enough power to power the 3.5s, a pair of tweeters, and an 8 inch woofer.

Rockford Fosgate 12" shallow mount sub. Still sells for $320 ATM. Paid $150 for it and the above amp.

Ryobi Brushless Impact. $35 w/ Battery. Problem was some moron jammed a 1/4 flex extension in it. What a nightmare to remove it. 45 minutes of trying what people suggested on YT. Eventually clamped the extension in a vice, pulled with literally all my strength, and used inpact. Back and forth for a 30s and it came out. Supposedly someone will buy my non-brushless one for $30. So pretty happy with purchase.
