    I cant say for certain, i wasn't paying THAT close attention, but they had both 2 and 3 fan models on the shelf. I don't want to say which ones for sure because I am not that certain

    If they still have stock from their last shipment most of them are Gigabyte Vision OC.

    Watch out for bent pins from the factory in the 8-pin inputs. Seems like a somewhat common problem looking on reddit, etc. My friends who bought two of them also had to return one because of this issue - he called me thinking he had the wrong connector but it was a bent pin on the GPU side. When he exchanged it MemEx NE told him they have had several exchanged for that reason. Just check it before you leave the store.

    It looks like this (top left pin):

    I've got 12.5k photos being batch processed, three alts shit-posting in two MEGA threads (that one alt takes up 3gb by itself), a few excel sheets, 20-30 tabs of chrome, two videos playing (one on mute), Assassin's Creed, file backups, stonks, and whatever malware I have in the background.
    I always forget about Chrome being such a hog. My comp slows right down when I have 86 pron tabs open.

    Thinking of upgrading the 3060 Ti to a 3080. Memex says it'll likely be at least a month and the ASUS ones are the ones they're getting the most of right now, so I put my name down on the back order list. Anyone have any other suggestions?

    Throwing in the towel on a new rig. By the time 5900x and 3060ti are both in stock it'll be refresh time
    AMD is having trouble keeping up with their current skus and are already in trouble with Microsoft and Sony for lack of those chips. I doubt the release of the new laptop skus this month is going to make things easier for them

    dude, the 5800x and a 3070 are instock now. great parts for a rig and averaged between the two, pretty much the same price point

    I was finally able to snag a Noctua NH-D15s Chromax.black heat sinc today for my build. These things seem to be as rare as hen's teeth

    on the website, yes, but the shelves in the store have a bunch. At least in the NE location. I asked why they were not online, and they told me it was to fight scalpers. I was in the NE location yesterday, and they had a few versions of the 3070 sitting on the shelves. Probably 40-50 units.

    Let us know what you find and how much they're selling it for.

    Unless some kind of special hand shake or secret passphrase is required, I can report that the salesperson at the counter helping me said they had no stock of any 30 series Nvidia cards... this was at the NW location. Not the NE.

    It was reported that only the NE location had stock, that being said I was able to get the salesperson to offer me a handful of cards that people ordered that weren't picked up at the NW location a couple of weeks ago.

    just drove by the nw one and thought I would give it a try to update my 980ti. Figured I’d post here so save a trip for someone else.

    Went to the NE Memex and talked to one of the guys that works there, at 5:30pm today they had about 30 3070's left, pretty much all ASUS TUF Cards ($809.99). But they were selling out really fast, he told me they received ~100 only a couple days prior. I watched about 3 people walk out with one in the 20mins I was there

    I managed to snag an ASUS TUF AMD RX 6800, last one they had on the shelves. Not quite the 3080 I wanted but pretty darn close.
