3500X-3060-EOFYS

Hi folks, bringing back the popular $1298 pricepoint for an RTX 3060 gaming PC. If there is interest I can whip up Intel variants for this week too.

  • Ryzen 5 3500X 6c/6t processor
  • RTX 3060 12GB [brand/model may vary]

Cheers
Luke

        All 3060 are meant to be mining-limited, but not all are LHR.

        • GA106-300 - Launch model. Full hashrate can be unlocked by using GeForce 470.05 Dev Drivers.

        • GA106-302 - New LHR model. No known method of unlocking full hashrate.

          Apologies yep, what you've clarified is accurate. We will be likely getting a mixture, as is what it coming into the country with the manufacturing change over.

      • Steakz on 30/06/2021 - 07:57

        Is LHR software or hardware? Are there any performance issues between the two?

    This is a good value budget PC. I'm eagerly awaiting my 3070Ti build that should be shipping soon. It'll be good to see how well they're built.

      R5 3500x to R5 3600 is more a side-grade than an upgrade though.

      Very slightly slower in some things, very slightly faster in others.

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 29/06/2021 - 15:43

      We're past mid-June for 3070s from what I can see - everything else is shipped or built and testing. If you send me your order number I can check where yours is at

      • peng5629 on 29/06/2021 - 15:57

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 29/06/2021 - 15:52
      +3

      Without knowing what he ordered I would assume it was a heavily delayed 3070 or 3080 maybe, whose supply has been affected worldwide and which led to some delays for us. There have not been any supply issues with RTX 3060 and we're not hearing anything different for July.

      • pandafrog420 on 29/06/2021 - 17:03

        Thanks for the honest reply mate

    I have stumbled across this at the right time! I am a mum who's wanting to buy a gaming PC for my 12yo to play Minecraft. What should I be looking at? His current laptop is slow and as he does YouTube videos, he needs something less laggy and with a better graphic card. Thanks.

    • EvilTeddy on 29/06/2021 - 19:29
      +2

      This will be amazing for him. Although Minecraft is a small game, if he starts to play a lot of games (or does screen recording) the hard drive might need to be upgraded (or a second installed).

      • sonicheez on 29/06/2021 - 19:52

        Thanks Teddy. Does it make sense to get a 'bigger'? hard drive now?

        • agro1942 on 29/06/2021 - 21:52
          +2

          It canā€™t hurt - bump up to a 500gb (windows will probably take up 60gb on its own I think - been a while).

          But over time you can always add another separate drive. So keep the 250gb for windows etc then start doing other big games on the secondary drive

        • Slippery Fish on 30/06/2021 - 10:37
          +3

          My advice, get a single bigger drive now. Kids have a way of fiddling things till they break and having a second drive is just asking him to get frustrated when he breaks it fiddling.

    • sickllama on 29/06/2021 - 19:53

    Thinking of getting this, is it a good idea to upgrade the power supply to the 750W 80 Plus Gold (+$79.00)?

    I don't know anything about computers and just see "80 plus gold" and assume it's more reliable. I've heard of other people saying don't cheap out on your power supply or you'll risk blowing everything up prematurely.

    • belongsinforums on 30/06/2021 - 09:16

      Power supply seems to be gimping my gpu. I'd upgrade for sure

  • jasswolf on 29/06/2021 - 22:11

    Last time I ordered a Ryzen 5 3500X + RTX 2060. It came out very cheap material. I took out RTX 2060 but couldnā€™t sell rest PC. Casing might worth $20-$30. Never heard of Allied Power Supply. Motherboard Biostar B550MH. SSD Team group. Only RAM Ballistix little better. I stripped off entire PC, used MSI casing with corsair liquid cooler, upgrade motherboard, NVMe SSD, still used Allied power supply (some people donā€™t know much about psu). Then I was able to sell it. If you just keep an eye on Centre Com or ebay, after discount you can easily get superior parts. Also, in terms of selling gpu, would have a hard time because people ask for invoice as well original box. GPU usually comes with 3 years warranty. Not sure what would happen after 1 year warranty. Same thing happened with my first order i5 10400F + RTX 3070. This is my observation and experience, no intention to hurt anyone.

    • Clear on 30/06/2021 - 10:48
      +4

      Everything you described is how Techfast are able to sell the build so cheap. If you want the lowest price then you get the low tier products.

      That's why many of us will choose some of the upgrade options to get better parts. Pay an extra $147 in this deal and you've got yourself a branded case, motherboard and PSU. Other things like RAM and storage can be found cheaper in other OzBargain deals.

      • hy7 on 02/07/2021 - 10:14

        So this isn't really a bargain, just cheap low end products.

        • Clear on 02/07/2021 - 10:45

          It absolutely is a bargain as you're able to get your hands on a video card that you normally wouldn't be able to buy elsewhere. Take the 3080s deals as an example, you can get a fully functional working gaming PC for the price of a single 3080.

          It's not much to upgrade them to something a little better. Still a lower price than other stores.

    • Mozzlah on 30/06/2021 - 14:38
      +1

      I got a system last year during lockdown and although I upgraded every component it still costed a little cheaper than buying all parts from a store and building it myself (I really like the clean build from techfast). The comment below is correct when you want to be cheap and your expectation is high. Also my original PC from techfast in 2019 had those lower tier products and still hasn't had a single problem

    What thermal compound do you use?

  • DontNeedThis on 30/06/2021 - 23:11

    Hi Op, quick question regarding RGB:

    Two RGB fans included yes?
    Is the RAM RGB?
    Is the AIO RGB if pay extra?

    Is the HD SSD/NVME or not?

    What other RGB related hardware is included?

    • Marketingluketechfast @ TechFast on 06/07/2021 - 10:27

      3 rgb fans in the Lance-V case.
      Some RAM models have RGB depending what we get in, but it is not generally RGB. Not something we offer as an optional extra/request able feature at this stage. Same with the AIOs.
      SSD will say NVME or 2.5" on the listing, you can choose.
      That's it for RGBness.

            @Hellhound2042: i did receive this email

            ""Good afternoon, and I hope this email finds you well. We have an important update on your PC order with us.

            As you would no doubt be aware, the ongoing COVID restrictions have caused and continue to cause significant supply-chain interruptions. In late July, this was compounded by a statewide lockdown here in South Australia, during which we were only partially operational and assembly/dispatch was severely restricted.

            We are therefore behind schedule, and our estimated 14-21 business day window, or systems whose estimated shipping times were listed as July, will now extend into August. We are back at full operation, and have extended our assembly hours to include evenings and weekends, to help us catch up for the time lost. Supply chain impacts are still being felt, with suppliers based in NSW in particular affected, but we are working through those challenges as best we can.

            We will continue to ship orders in date order wherever possible, supply chain allowing, and are aiming to have the majority of our RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti orders shipped in the next 2 weeks.

            As we have always done in times of delay due to COVID impacts, if you would like to cancel your order for a full refund, you may do so. No restocking fee will apply. Alternatively, you are welcome to retain your order and we will dispatch it as soon as we can.

            Please reply to this email and advise us of your choice.

            Please accept our sincere apologies for the delay.

            Kind regards,""
