Seems to be the cheapest so far for the RTX3080 system. Eligible for CashRewards. Base system has a RTX3070, but the extra $350 is a worthwhile upgrade IMO. According to the Dell website it's on clearance while stocks last.
2/5 Update: Out of stock now, however R12 with 11700F + RTX3080 is available for $2,928.38
@m0tyrider: even the 1800 number on dell is useless. gives you the runaround
thank god some guy posted the number he actually used to speak to an agent.
@sabrelli: i tried the dell 1300 number and got someone quickly but they just referred me to my emailed updates - ie. june 5 ship date, no talk of r11 stock etc, I have a bad feeling we are all getting LHR 3080s in mid June.
I was talking to somebody through support tonight. They said my order is still waiting for parts. I asked which parts and they said they didn't know but they have asked the factory to provide details. I don't expect to hear back.
For anyone interested - I have received mine now (3080 with the 10700F). Unboxing and testing tonight. If there are specific questions, let me know and I'll try to answer.
Ok… so I have no idea what happened with Pandabargain, but the 3080 I have received does not appear to be hash limited. Out of the box on Nicehash Quickminer I'm getting about 80-85 MH/s. Lite optimisation gives about 90 MH/s.
Thermals are pretty bad though - it will clearly need mods for mining. VRAM temps are around 110. But yeah, overall it seems like good news.
Ordered on the 30th of April around 3pm yet I'm still waiting for the order to enter production… How did you get yours so fast?!
Not sure. I did contact them quite early on saying that I hadn't realised the wait was going to be as long as it was, and that I was reconsidering my order. They told me that they would expedite it, and I've been in contact with them regularly since. My experience with their support service has been reasonably positive.
So it could be a case of 'the squeaky wheel gets the oil', or maybe it's about the specific components I ordered. I got the black version with a 10700F and no extras. Not sure if that made a difference.
I just called them for the first time, I got the "there is a global shortage of video cards" that my order should arrive by the 21st of June.
I ordered 30th at 5pm and its been on confirmed since. (black 10700kf)
Cool, thanks for clarifying. I ordered the white version and didn't chase up the order. Anyways, Enjoy your alienware!
You must have got a good CS agent! I have been hassling mine and just been getting crickets only.
I was the same spec and received yesterday so maybe it did help
well i rang them again today lol.
CS this time confirmed delay was due to the GPU.
Previous calls just said parts shortage.
mentioned the same expected June 5 ship date and confirmed there's a ticket on my order noting that the build is to be expedited once parts come in.
Guess we're all getting the nerfed cards then. 'kers!
Yah and I feel like if the crypto apocalypse happens and mining becomes unprofitable again I should still return it on principle if it is nerfed.
Order confirmation for a black and white from before the deal was posted at 12:25 PM and getting the Jun 21, 2021 estimate on both orders.
Mine arrived yesterday. Not hash rate limited. 93Mh with -300 core and +900 memory. Going to thermal paste it today. Not sure how others are getting LHR version, that’s unlucky
no one has received a nerfed one … yet.
I did +(
That sucks dude. What miner are you running and overclock settings? Will you return it?
@Pandabargain: I haven't tried low power, but on my 1080Ti I get 30-35MH on medium and 45MH on high. Low power is probably around 20-25, which is about HALF of what I get on high. The results you said you were getting were about HALF what you should've been. I suspect the cause of your problem has just been revealed. Your card wasn't nerfed. Dell are still waiting on the new LHR cards to arrive at the factory so they can fulfill all the outstanding orders.
No, you didn't.
NO ONE
Hahahaha I still can't tell if this is a hoax or not
Received an email from Dell at around 5pm today (ordered around 6pm 30/4, white, 3080 10700F)
The white is out of stock so they have offered me to either order the black or have a refund.
I tried chatting through customer sales (ordering dept were closed by the time I finished work) if i can swap it to a similar specced r12 liked I've heard others were offered, no go unfortunately.
Maybe not good news for others who's orders havent moved past the order confirmed stage like mine :/
Anyone got a white one they wanna case swap when I get mine lmao
Call again. I was allowed to swap to r12 for free. You lose cashback, but at least you still get it for $2750 which is still good - plus it's white and you save electricity with the upgraded cpu.
Did you call the orders hotline or the sales line? I'd much rather pay the 150 for the extra rgb and colour lmao
Orders
@Feeblely: I tried contacting orders and the best they could do was sell me the R12 for the retail price of $4300 and me pay the difference.
The black r11 is too good of a deal to pass up so ill just go with that, but dissapointing that this is how Dell treats its customers after overselling a product they paid thousands of dollars for :(
Did you lose your position in the queue though??
Any further production or shipping movement for anyone?
Nope, stuck at about to enter production.
Anyone buy the lunar white for mining? Probably looking to buy a white chassis if anyone doesn't need it
With parts or just the case?
Just want the rgb lights for my black r11 tbh, the white parts of the case would be a bonus, but no, i don't want any electronic parts
Interested in selling?
I keep asking DELL, I keep not getting answered. Does anybody have ANY idea of when the Aurora warehouse is meant to receiving whatever stock it is their short of? Even though I ask specific questions I keep just getting told the warehouse is waiting for parts and I can check the progress of my order (which I know doesn't get updated anyway) at a certain link.
I keep getting told they are waiting for new 3080 stock and they are sticking to June 5 ship date.
June 5th is just a week away…shipment date might even be later than that judging by the lack of progress update. They are probably waiting for the hash limited 3080 graphic cards to arrive.
My R11 ordered on 30 April is still stuck in order confirmed status. 5 June shipping date is looking more and more unrealistic.
June 5 2021 or 2022?
LOL 2021 ofcourse.
Its sounding like 2022 is realistic :(
I know your pain man. I feel it every single day when I check on the order progress bar.
I've read reports of people having their systems arrive on their doorstep and their order is still at confirmed stage. I heard of another person having their order cancelled and 2 days later it arrived.
is this on reddit?
@blues99: yes. Not necessarily the same system as this, but same company and complaints about delays and communication with the Auroras.
same here!i check at least 5 times a day in hope its updated!
Anybody else have any updates? 6th of June (My ship date) isn't far away and I am having my doubts…
My CSR just updated ship date from 5/6 to 10/6 sads.
I've got an estimated ship date of June 3rd for an R11 3080 build.
It hasn't entered production yet. None of the dates have changed since placing the order.
For reference, I've had plenty of other orders (for 3060Ti and 3070 builds) with dates changing, even quite dramatically in some cases. Will be interesting to see what happens this week.
Alrighty, in production as of today… or last few hours because I've been checking desperately like 3 times a day for a month lol
When did you order? And what spec?
Close to midnight on 30th of April, base just upgraded graphics to 3080 and black tower. Here's mine
I ordered the same except the k cpu at 5pm still just confirmed 😅
Edit: Scratch that, it now is in production!
Mine just went in production today also likely last few hours same as th123
Probably just bulk placing people in production because it’s been a month. Wonder how long til it ships
Meh mine is still at about to enter production. They better speed up To meet The scheduled shipment date.
@AaronR: I ordered almost half a day before th123 and mine is still not in production… I wonder whether the colour choice is having an impact.
Anyone who ordered white had their go into production yet?
Even though it went into production im not getting too excited.
i just plugged my order number into the dell portal link a few pages back and got this….
Your order is under exceptions management at factory. The ETA of Between 01/07/2021 And 07/07/2021. Call customer support on 1 800 812 393, If you would like our friendly agents to help you resolve an issue with your order.
Oh lame please let us know if this something to worry about if u call.
For the life of me I can't find that link again.
Do you mind linking it again?
Thanks!
I'm getting the same msg on my order which supposedly went into production yesterday
@djevoultion: Mine just changed to build complete and is about to be shipped! Don’t know what the message is all about
Still waiting on mine. Claims it will ship June 16th. White also. I've heard of people getting their orders cancelled at the last minute because they ordered white. But I've also heard of people being given an option first also. This whole thing is just a massive balls up really. Is it even legal to presell tons of systems knowing you don't have any stock and not knowing when you will?
Mine is in production!
Estimated Ship Date: Jun 8, 2021
I am guessing they finally got the stock in for the 3080
White or Black?
Black. I didn't even notice we could choose tbh! Otherwise i would have went white
Well it seems as though going with white was a bad choice anyway since no one who ordered white had theirs go into production yet.
Ordered black and white before deal was posted (12:30 on 30 Apr). Got shipping notice today
A White R11 3080 ?
Well Lunar light or w.e. they call it
How long from when it entered production to being shipped?
Mine is in build stage as of yesterday but not yet shipped
it was 1 day
Thanks. Just got my notification as well. Apparently 10 days to send to sorting centre
Mine entered production yesterday today just got a notification of build complete ready to ship
Let us know if your card is nerfed when you get it. If so, I'm going to have a 5-pack of Arctic P12 fans to sell when I cancel my order.
Emailed dell and they are claiming shortage of RTX 3080 GPU as the reason for the delay still. Doesn't explain how people who ordered after me had their's go into production then! Useless customer support staff.
Just received a build complete notification 10:51pm June 1st for a black 10700F build. Upon viewing the order status it now says it's been shipped.
Payment was taken at 1:17pm April 30th.
Black=production stage
White=$ taken, shipment date June 5th, not in production stage. Fml
As someone who took delivery of black yesterday but has white on order… I think it’s worth the wait. Black looks pretty average in person. Looking forward to white going into production!!
Which video card did you get? is it full fat?
Same. Went into production 2 days ago, built yesterday and shipped a few hours after. Got the black and KF processor.
Mine same and shipped now too.
"Your Dell Order Has Completed Build." xD
Mine has shipped
"We are glad to inform that your order has completed production and is shipping from our overseas factory. It can take up to 6-8 business days for your order to reach our sorting center at Australia, post which our logistic partners will arrange for last mile delivery.
The order is estimated to be delivered on or before 21/06/2021"
You can live chat for sales, but anything to do with your order….they don't want to know you -_-
