My 3080 FE also arrived this morning. Missed the delivery as it said Monday when I looked last night, but fortunately a neighbour saved the day. :)

Is it still possible to get nvidia 3080 founders edition models, at none scalped prices? I'm really interested in finding out how well that cooler will work in my silverstone case

Yeh and DPD are brilliant here in the east midlands at least

Like you say, I think it was three weeks before the last 3080 FE drop, so not too bad, but I've been after one since they were announced.
Tried on launch day, and you know how that went. :D

Happy to have one now, just hope my old 850w power supply holds up.
Congrats!

Depending on age of the psu, it should be fine. @3t3P did a post on this, if its more than 5 years old i would consider getting a new one for peace of mind.

Refreshing the website all day most likely wouldn’t get you a 3080 FE. People who got one were notified either by Telegram group, Discord or a bot they setup themselves.
I got mine using Telegram.

Generally they drop between 2pm and 4pm (though there have been a small number outside of those times) - I manually refreshed the page now and again on days I was told there would most likely be some available and missed out once by a hair and managed to get one the second time.

Notifications does save some messing about though.

Yeah but you were after a 3070 which lasted much much longer.

How old, what make?
It's 12 yrs old now :o.
It's an Antec Signature 850w, oem is is Delta, which make server grade power supplies, it's not really been stressed much in all the yrs I have had it. It was expensive in it's day.
Tempted to give a go, as it save a bit of messing about for me.
