    10G-P5-3897-KL

    L here indicates its LHR incase anyone is wondering.

    • BargainBuddy on 13/09/2021 - 20:19

      Just wondering, do they manufacture any non LHR RTX 3000s at all (except for 3090).

      • Tin man on 13/09/2021 - 20:29

        Most brands do including EVGA.

        • Narull on 13/09/2021 - 22:35

          Not anymore, they have stopped making non LHR cards bar the 3090 now.

            @Outsider: Idiots yes.

            Unless you think an extra $20 in 3-4 years time matters for " resale " value for a non LHR card.

            We all know there's a massive market for 3-4 year graphics cards.

            Which is usually the amount of time an average person would keep a card for.

              @Whomastadon: Thanks for your professional crystal ball advice with the $20 thing, I should probably just ignore you since you think you can precisely predict the future but here we go: miners don't care how old the card is.

                @Outsider: You'd think that next generation of cards wouldn't be inflated due to chip shortage and might retail at RRP. If that happens, then the resale value of this generation will plummet to well below next gen's discounted price.

                    NVIDIA priced to a market where there is a scarcity of chips which the world knows about. If in 3 years time that scarcity has passed then the market will demand reasonable prices and thus secondary market will follow.

                    History shows us that the chip makers will return to previous levels eventually, so I believe the the future resale price is going to much lower than it is today.

        LHR should have at least equal resale value once Ethereum transitions to 2.0/PoW. Which could be in the next 3-6 months.

        Given no one is going to re-sell that quickly, resale value is pretty irrelevant here.

        Edit: reminder that
        1) in the longer term, LHR cards = newer, less abused cards.
        2) LHR = low hash rate for ethereum specifically.

        • TRAMSED on 17/09/2021 - 13:42

          All I know is I paid 1700 for my lhr 3080 last month. And now while I am at work during the day, it sits there at home churning away earning $147 US a month. Then when I get home, I get to enjoy playing my games at 4k (some games, it even keeps working in the background without breaking a sweat). In 4 years time, the resale will be the last thing I am worried about compared to a non-lhr card. Sure I paid more than launch rrp (by what, $300 for said card) but 12 months of inflation plus increased costs, its cost neutral in 2 months anyway.

          Incumbent laziness and brand power winning big contracts probably made it seem less a problem than it is. They have been huge for that long. Their bottom line probably has so much momentum from corporate sales that those in intel who can see the forest through the trees aren't getting much buy-in from executives. R&D is expensive and change is risky! They have probably tried a few lame half asses tactics that we don't even see because they are not true product improvements, and are finally cooking something up worthwhile? Shareholders should hope so.

      5600x is a great CPU. I haven't seen a benchmark that justifies getting anything with more cores. 5900x is twice the price and 5950 nearly three times for no noticeable gain in gaming.

      Nah, if you’re doing mostly gaming it’s a waste to buy anything better than a 5600X tbh. I have the 5600X and it handles everything like a champ and with a really good power efficiency too.

    • DarkLegion on 13/09/2021 - 19:19

      At 1080p maybe slightly, but not at 1440p or higher as you'd be GPU bound.

      Hardware Unboxed did a video of this with the 5000 series Ryzen. There was no difference in performance at 1440p or higher with the 5600x.

    • ChristopherJack on 13/09/2021 - 20:47

      Not noticeably- you'll occasionally gain a few % more frames in gaming but with 12 threads & 6 powerful cores, you'll be fine for a very long time.

      Heck, you could get away with a 7+ year old i5 if you had to- it would bottleneck these days, but the point is it will still physically run most games- point being, Ryzen 5s & i5s being similar, you should expect a similar lifespan- with the Ryzen 5s all having multithreading, they should last better than pre-10th gen i5s.

    A few cons from a previous similar build with the Corsair 4000D Airflow.

    No USB-C header on the motherboard so the case's USB-C port is useless. They promised me a resolution and…. silence.

    They put the front 360 AIO on backwards so it was set to exhaust, like the rear/top case fan.

    • ButterYourMuffin on 13/09/2021 - 18:14
      +1

      I don't really mind the USB C.

      Yes I specifically told me to install my 360 in front as INTAKE instead of exhaust which they confirmed via email. Else I will be refunding the product.

      I even purchased Noctua Fans from them to pre install into my built.

      2 on top as exhaust.

      • Clear on 13/09/2021 - 18:17
        +2

        The thing is though I questioned them about the USB-C before purchase and they said it was fine, then later apparently they 'misunderstood' what I meant. A follow up email a week after purchasing was ignored. They only offered a resolution after I received it but that wasn't followed through.

        I have to admit lazy me left the front AIO as exhaust and set the back/top fans as intake and the temps are impressive. 25 idle and <55 load. I have some Arctic fans to install when I can be bothered and I'll flip them around because the EVGA 360 CLC fans are loud af.

        • ButterYourMuffin on 13/09/2021 - 18:19

          Yes thanks for your input.

          I actually bought 2 x 140mm Noctua Chromax as 2 top exhaust

          3 x 120mm Noctua Chromax as 3 radiator intake.

          Hopefully it's good.

          • Clear on 13/09/2021 - 18:28

            @ButterYourMuffin: Yes that'll be sufficient. Unfortunately in this deal it's not the airflow variant but the case still has a good amount of room to pull air from the front.

            • ButterYourMuffin on 13/09/2021 - 18:32

              @Clear: Yes the cons are its white and it's not airflow.

              I am trying to buy their black airflow case but it's not in stock.

              However, another way around to to take off the front panel for better airflow. Since in front has filter.

              • Clear on 13/09/2021 - 18:34

        • celery juice on 13/09/2021 - 18:31

          There are fans on the AIO. Adding fans is relatively simple. Just screw in the corners and connect the cables into fan headers. The side of the fan that has the crossbars is the exhaust and vice versa.

          • Kail1981 on 13/09/2021 - 18:35

            @celery juice: ic thanks so since there is 3 fans at the front and 1 at the back, is that sufficient or should i add a 2 or 3 fan to the top?

            • celery juice on 13/09/2021 - 18:37

              @Kail1981: Should be sufficient, but 3 fans at the top will give you more exhaust and improve temps slightly

  • Joh567 on 13/09/2021 - 18:14

    These top end GPUs are quite heavy, I may be seeing a slight bend in the GPU in the 2nd picture on their site. If anyone buys this, worth adding a GPU bracket just to make sure card doesn't sag over time or have any impact on the motherboard. Talking from experience with a RX 6800 XT.

    How does this compare to building with the same parts yourself? Is it really any cheaper?

      The pricing on this system is quite competitive if you add up all of the parts
      You could maybe save ~$200 by waiting a while for a cheap 3080 to come up on ozbargain, but doubtful that you would save much more than that

      Adding up all the parts myself the cost of this system to build would probably be 3.2-3.3k at current pricing.
      All the parts listed are of decent quality, although the motherboard is on the cheaper end

      If i was building myself i'd probably save 100$ on getting 16gb RAM instead, and maybe another 50$ for a cheaper AIO cooler or even an air cooler.
      I would buy a 3080 at the 1.8k price point if possible, and probably end up paying 2.8-2.9k for the system.
      Of course this would take a lot of extra effort sourcing and researching the correct parts individually, and only worth saving a few hundred dollars if you're interested/invested in the build yourself.

    I wish they offered a better motherboard in this build

      Came here to say this, $3100 and they put the bottomest of the barrel B550 board in…

        Not that it excuses it, but this is pretty much all pre-builts, even the really pricey ones. Most pre-built customers wouldn't know the difference, so why sacrifice the profit?

          I suppose that's true. Just that this is a lot of money and a slightly better board wouldn't even be that much more expensive!

      I emailed asking if I could do the same but without certain parts because I’d rather get my own case and an X570 motherboard. Or even if they’d be able to offer the rig with a 5900x and X570. Fingers crossed!

    Not amazing as this cheaper deal with 3080 ti but the GPU prices are rising again, so pick your poison

    I've recently purchased a prebuild with BPC. The turnaround time was close to a month, which was understandable given the amount of orders they had. Took another week through AusPost to arrive.

    Once I received it and opened the case, I immediately noticed that not only did they fit the system with a 600w PSU instead of a 650w, they also gave me a RTX 3060 instead of the 3060ti. I had to get it back to them almost an hour away (which I was only able to do because a family member has a travel permit) and then had to specifically request them to express ship it back to me.

    If I didn't know what to look for, I wouldn't have noticed that a few hundred dollars of product wasn't in my order. In terms of rectifying their mistake, they did virtually nothing. Not even an apology.

    All I'll say is when you receive yours, check every box and every part inside to make sure it's what you purchased. One error I can understand and I want to assume this is all a mistake, but to undercut me on two important components of my build is seriously bordering on suspect.

      this is good information - I think I'm going to pay extra just for some security and stay away from them at this stage.

      • Karl Pilkington on 13/09/2021 - 21:58

        For edits sake, I was just notified tonight that they've apparently already fixed everything and sent it back to me within a day.

        So props to them on at least a speedy turnaround time to resolve the issue.

      Had to return my 3060ti system as the psu kept turning off the system when playing a game or running a heavy workload.

      What i assumed was the manager or owner was really pissed off at one of his employees. I think it was related to something being posted online.

      Had to go back and pickup the system.

      That's dodgy, I was about to place an order but I really hate this type of thing.
