Hi this is a neutral post to share/chat about the build, dispatch and delivery status of the recent (31st Jan 25) 5080/5090 PCs deal offered by Techfast.
Added 26th Feb: Now that we have started receiving the rigs, it's time to share your rig, mods or ideas for improvement here.

Update 26/02/2025: I have received my 5080 build with the express post option :)
Showing my tweaked look here:

Anyone who has ordered the build please share here about updates of their orders and or experience.

I’ve ordered mine on the day and received it 26th Feb with express shipping selected :)

Love to know how everyone else is doing re these builds and hope everyone get their PCs soon.

Added IMPORTANT NEWS, possible defected Nvidia 5090, 5080 and 5070 Ti
From Nvidia:
We have identified a rare issue affecting less than 0.5% (half a percent) of GeForce RTX 5090 / 5090D, RTX 5080, and 5070 Ti GPUs which have one fewer ROP than specified. The average graphical performance impact is 4%, with no impact on AI and Compute workloads. Affected consumers can contact the board manufacturer for a replacement. The production anomaly has been corrected.

How to check your GPU:
First, you'll need TechPowerUp GPU-Z, a utility that provides all of the information about your current GPU in an easy-to-digest manner. It also provides access to monitoring tools that provide up-to-the-minute temperature, clock speed, and other information.
You'll want TechPowerUp GPU-Z v2.63.0 as the latest version adds official support for the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti and other RTX Blackwell GPUs.
Open GPU-Z, as this will give you a full breakdown of your GPU's specs on the Graphics Card tab. The key information you're looking for is the ROPs count. The correct values should be as follows.
GeForce RTX 5090 or RTX 5090D - 176 ROPs
GeForce RTX 5080 - 112 ROPs
GeForce RTX 5070 Ti - 96 ROPs
An ROP number less than this is a definite cause for concern, as your GPU will be underperforming. NVIDIA recommends contacting the GPU manufacturer for a full replacement. As seen in online reports, the incorrect RTX 5090 value will show up as 168 ROPs, the RTX 5080 as 104 ROPs, and the RTX 5070 Ti as 88 ROPs.

  • Snoopy113 on 21/03/2025 - 16:55

    Hey. What does the GPU support look like? I dont think I got one…

    • MunkyAU on 21/03/2025 - 17:32

      Seems like it comes with some cases but not others. The Antec case apparently doesn’t have one

      • just-human on 21/03/2025 - 18:17

        That sucks. Most sag brackets I’ve seen online only screw up to 120mm and it appears on case photos that the GPU is higher relative to the drive bay on the far right.

        • MunkyAU on 21/03/2025 - 19:04

          Seems like one of those supports could fit at the end of the PSU shroud between the last two fans (see this pic). But yeah it’s a bit of a pain that it doesn’t come with one. At least they’re cheap

          Edit: Oh nevermind that’s a different case haha

            @MunkyAU: Thats the same case I got. They said in the deal "All cards come with support stands as they are chonkariffic" So I thought it was just something they were providing…

            Edit: NVM i figured it out. Its like a little black cylinder thing you screw up. Fits on the screw that is between the two fans on the right.

            • MunkyAU on 22/03/2025 - 12:01

              @Snoopy113: Oh awesome, thats good to know

            • just-human on 22/03/2025 - 12:13

              @Snoopy113: Good to know that they will all come with stands. Saves me from having to buy one :)

    • Snoopy113 on 22/03/2025 - 22:13

      Yep, same as me. Have you played around with the fan curve with that case at all? Seems pretty damn noisy to me

      • OmegaPlus on 23/03/2025 - 00:27

        I haven't had a chance to play around with it yet but did notice in Gigabyte Control Centre that the fan speed settings was on a custom profile. It does get loud during heavy loads.

      • allenbaha on 23/03/2025 - 01:18

        Yes, it's really noisy. Also, do the computer fans keep spinning when the computer shuts down?

    RTX 5090 system ordered 31/1 in testing 24/3

  • Koppers on 24/03/2025 - 22:54

    Hopefully with build queue progress starting to move into a stable direction, the late March/early April batch of 5080 pc's wont be to far off and they can keep close to the expected time frames.
    As for rig ideas when I finally get my PC, thinking for the Gpu support bracket ordering an Antec dagger or tempered glass gpu holder. As my case is the Antec C3 case.Not sure if I will remove the hdd cage at bottom and add an extra 120mm reserve fan as well yet.

  • MunkyAU on 25/03/2025 - 08:27

    I received my PC and set it up yesterday. I'm very happy with it.

    Pros:
    Everything inside was packed rock solid.
    The included instructions were quite good.
    The system is an absolute beast. Runs everything like a dream and isn't super loud on the default fan profiles.

    Cons:
    Cable management gets the job done but isn't great.
    Antec C3 case didn't come with a GPU support, so I had to order one.
    The Gigabyte Control Centre software is garbage. Setting up the RBGs and getting them to stay set is a pain.

    • just-human on 25/03/2025 - 08:29

      Ask TechFast. They said that all cases should come with one so maybe it got lost?

      • MunkyAU on 25/03/2025 - 09:12
        -1

        I just assumed they were wrong about this case coming with one. I don't particularly want anything more to do with Techfast if I can help it, so im fine with the $3 one I ordered from AliExpress haha

        • just-human on 25/03/2025 - 12:52

          Just wondering what the clearance under the GPU was so I could order my support as well :).

  • Emsiri on 25/03/2025 - 09:44

    I also received mine yesterday and after some difficulty installing Windows I managed to get everything running. If you end up with the B650M Gaming Plus Wifi motherboard and installing windows doesn't pickup the wifi drivers, tether your phone via USB and use the network via your phone to get the install through. From there GCC (Gigabyte Control Centre) should install and update your drivers, but if like me the wifi still doesn't work, you'll need to download the Realtek 8851 wifi drivers from the Gigabyte site directly to get wifi working.
    After all that, has anyone figured out how to disable the RGB? I've tried both disabling them in the GCC RGB Fusion section and searching through the BIOS without any luck.

    • Emsiri on 25/03/2025 - 11:45

      I'm an idiot, there's a button on the case to control the fans RGB. I'm still only able to control the RAM LEDs via software, even after changing the LED pin on the mobo to the controller(?) At the very least it's no longer strobing.

      • MunkyAU on 25/03/2025 - 12:03
        +1

        In Gigabyte Control Centre if you change the RGB settings and then disable "Sync" it should in theory remember that setting. I say "in theory" because it's awful software that doesnt work half the time.

      • um on 25/03/2025 - 21:30

        You got the CX500M? I've found the RGB button but there doesn't seem to be an option to turn them off. Feeling very stupid

        • Emsiri on 26/03/2025 - 14:53
          +1

          Yeah I have the CX500M, according to the manual it should be able to turn off the LEDs but that doesn't work for me either. I opened it up and saw that there's a cable from a Allied branded controller (not sure what the original model is) that goes to the Mobo on the first LED slot, I switched it to the second and still no dice so something else needs to be done to allow software to control it. For now I've got it set to the constant red as the strobing was giving me a headache.

          • Poimandres on 26/03/2025 - 23:15
            +1

            @Emsiri: If you hold the RGB button down on the case for 5ish seconds it will pause the lights on whatever phase they were on. Set it to the one that phases from red to no lights, hold the button down at the right time and you can get it to lock in no lights.

            Seems absurd that there's not just a no lights setting, but this works!

    Techfast posted an update regarding our builds on another new deal.

    https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/899100

    RTX 5080: GamingPro orders are now up to the late March/early April batch and these are expected to go into build shortly, with production continuing in April.
    RTX 5090: Was only a small handful of units but all customers have been notified they're in production
    RTX 5070 Ti: Up to date with a small number of Preorder/April units left for production which we'll get out as quickly as possible.

    Good luck. I ordered last Feb and hoping for early April delivery for 5080.

    • Mxrky on 25/03/2025 - 15:22

      What time did you place your order just curious to see if youd be ahead of me

      • Silvu on 25/03/2025 - 15:25

        Initially ordered 5070 on 22nd Feb and then upgraded to 5080 few days later. My upgrade payment was done on 27th Feb.

        Still waiting on order placed for now.

        • Koppers on 25/03/2025 - 15:34

          My order was on the 26/02 late afternoon, early evening. Can't remember the time

          • Mxrky on 25/03/2025 - 15:43

            @Koppers: Im just ahead of you guys i had my order changed at 2pm on the 26th will update here if i hear anything

            • Koppers on 25/03/2025 - 15:45

              @Mxrky: Yeah, ill give update too, went with express post as well

              • Mxrky on 25/03/2025 - 15:45

                @Koppers: ooh i went with the standard post i wonder how different shipping times will be? where are you based if you dont mind me asking

                • Koppers on 25/03/2025 - 15:48

                  @Mxrky: Melbourne area, hoping the postie doesn't try to card it and make me go to the post office to sign and pick it up. Have one in the area that does it.

                  • Mxrky on 25/03/2025 - 15:50

                    @Koppers: I feel you on that ive got a posty thats gone before i can open the door

                    • Koppers on 25/03/2025 - 15:58

                      @Mxrky: Yeah, really looking forward to when it does arrive upgrading from a 1060 6gb. As took a break from modern gaming. Was thinking about the 4080/90 series but decided to wait on the 50's release then nvidia stopped the production so just went with the 5080. Wished the card had higher vram for the price point though.

                      • Mxrky on 25/03/2025 - 16:13

                        @Koppers: oh nice thatll be a huge upgrade youre gonna love it, lots of avenues to go down with recording and streaming as well if thats something you might be interested in or just playing triple a games on really high quality

          • d3n0tz on 26/03/2025 - 12:48

    We will shortly begin working on the late March/April orders with the Palit GamingPro cards, so lots of people will be getting notifications as such in the coming days and into next week. GameRock customers have all been contacted with timelines and the option to switch into GamingPro.

      now thats what I like to hear great find silvu

  • just-human on 27/03/2025 - 15:46

    Just an update on my build (if anyone is still interested or following). I received it on Tuesday and ran some tests remotely after my family at home set it up. Kept crashing and found out it was due to memory error BSOD. Ran memtest and it went through so many fails it couldn't even complete the test. Hopefully TechFast can send over some new sticks to fix the issue and not send the whole PC back.

    • Mxrky on 27/03/2025 - 15:55

      yikes have you heard from techfast about it?

      • just-human on 27/03/2025 - 15:56

        Yeah, they advised me to run tests and I just sent them the results. Hopefully they reply soon and this is sorted.

        • Mxrky on 27/03/2025 - 15:56

          yeah thats the last thing you need happening after this wait

          • just-human on 27/03/2025 - 15:58

            @Mxrky: I'm offering to send the RAM back rather than the whole PC. Reduces damage risk and I don't want to risk waiting months again. (Also, not sure if this is relevant but my RAM isn't in the mobo supported/verified list)

            • Mxrky on 27/03/2025 - 16:03

              @just-human: very interesting but definitely something that shouldve come up in testing i wouldve thought?

              • just-human on 27/03/2025 - 16:21

                @Mxrky: I would think so too. I'm not the only person apparently.

                • Mxrky on 27/03/2025 - 16:26

                  @just-human: great…. I hope its fixed for my batch, they are meant to be starting build this week and next for them hopefully its been brought to their attention enough so more dont have the same issue

                  • just-human on 27/03/2025 - 16:34

                    @Mxrky: Yeah I put in my email it could be a problem with the batch. I asked if they could do a memtest before new sticks are sent. They have offered to send me a label to return the sticks. I’ll keep everyone updated when I get more news.

                    • Florgleplax on 27/03/2025 - 16:45

                      @just-human: That's really annoying. Were both sticks faulty?

                      Would be strange of all components that ram gets damaged during shipping. Could it be their testing isn't as thorough as say.

                      • just-human on 28/03/2025 - 00:05

                        @Florgleplax: Yeah I suspect it’s a bad batch as I’m not the only one. RAM doesn’t usually fail which is strange.

                        • jk82 on 31/03/2025 - 12:22

                          @just-human: If the ram isn't listed as supported on the mobo's website it's more likely that as opposed to faulty ram. Weird they've put those parts together though

  • Bargain4Days on 27/03/2025 - 21:54

    Anyone got any status on the 5080 Game Rock Cards?

    Ordered mine on 1st of Feb and heard nothing back….

    • Kelvin on 28/03/2025 - 07:39

      My gamerock 9800x3d bulid is at the post office awaiting collection.
      Suddenly got notificaiton a couple of days ago, they were starting the build..
      Then a missed delivery from Aust post… to state there is two parcels awiating for me at the post office (the Box and the GPU separately) I presume..

      mine was a 31/1/2025 Gamerock order.. completely stock, except for the gpu shipped separately..

    • Mxrky on 28/03/2025 - 13:32

      If i remember correctly they arent getting gamerock cards in at the moment so they are offering gamingpro cards instead with a refund

      • Kelvin on 28/03/2025 - 15:34

        Nope… I've got my Gamerock 5080 - 9800x3d booting up at the moment..
        GPU packaged separately..

        Mine is an order from the 1st day of the sale 31/1/2025…. around 9pm I think..

        A few minor issues only…
        The GPU anti sag isn't suitable for installation on the Antec CX500M
        https://www.palit.com/accessory/vgaholder/
        the smallest length gives you 70-95mm.. and the smallest addition give you another 40mm (or 110mm to 135mm total length)
        I need about 106mm of length.. which is impossible..

        The MSI 240mm AIO is simply awful in terms or noise and rattling…. hopefully it will wear itself it.. aweird whiring and funny noises and vibrations.. … had similar same issues (though not as bad) with a evatech prebuilt with MSI 240mm AIO.. … but its seemed to get a little better over time.. (PS.. I would never buy and MSI AIO myself..). This unit is definitely sound worse than my Evatech prebuild…

        Machine.. wouldn't boot the first few times.. then suddenly came to life!!…

        Most of the accessories and screws come in a plastic bag.. hard to work out what belonged to what.. .. almost lost the spare m2 screw that was floating in the bag.. Heard it hit the floor.. when I was taking some of the bits out..

        Had the google the manual for the Antec CX500M, to work out how to open the case up…
        the very very unhelpful sticker on the side of the case stated "warning: protective packaging inside case, please remove before turning the system on. The side panel can be removed via the tumb screws at the side or rear"
        The thunb screws does nothing.. you just need to jank on the glass side. nice and firmly..

        Bios was one version back behing the current F32 from the 5th Feb 2025.. theres a newer release F33b from Late Feb 2025.

        Mine was the Stock System with the Gamerock Upgrade and GPU shipped separately…

        Parts included with
        SSD HP SSD FX700 1TB
        powersupply MSI A850GL PCI E 5.0
        Acer Predator RGB Ram. 32gb (2x16gb) Cas 34..6000, Expo enabled… presumed this must be hynix stuff..
        MSI 240mm AIO .. I think its the MSI Mag Coreliquid A13 240 black..
        Gigabyte B650M gaming plus wifi
        Palit RTX5080 Gamerock..

        In all it took 8 weeks to arrive…. despite ordering a machine with the GPU (on hand)..

        Was it worth it? Wait was way too long..
        But price was definitely good..!
        Luckily.. this was not my main machine.. and I was prepared to wait.. 4-5 weeks.. like all my previous techfast orders..
        8 Weeks is a bit much… if it was your only computer.. / first computer… I can understand how upset some customers would get..

        In terms of setup.. I think.. you pretty much need a computer literate person.. to sort things out initially.. in case of any teething issues…

        • Kelvin on 28/03/2025 - 18:07

          Unfortunately the ram is micron junk… at 34-45-45-96-141..

          • just-human on 31/03/2025 - 13:07

            @Kelvin: How bad is that and how much will it affect performance vs something like the RAM from this deal 32-38-38-76

        • allenbaha on 30/03/2025 - 19:41

          What is the CPU temperature at high settings in any game? I play Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and the CPU temperature goes up to 90 degrees when there is more grass. When I lower the settings, it goes down to 75-80.

        • Snoopy113 on 31/03/2025 - 08:49

          Great post. Agree the msi cooler is noisy. I thought it was the case fans at first but its the cooler. Pretty disappointing.

    • Koppers on 31/03/2025 - 11:50

      Not yet Mxrky, hopefully the next few days as going by luke's post this batch should be going into production. By looking at previous comments floating around I think they get card deliveries on the Monday normally, so might be waiting on another 5080 gaming pro shipment to start ours.

    I'm trying to add more storage to this PC and seeing my options: does the default mobo (Gigabyte B650M Gaming Plus WiFi) have 1 NVME slot? I can't see where and I'm guessing because the graphics card is huge and covering where the nvme usually sits.

    1- option 1 If 1 NVME slot, throw the included one and buy a bigger 2Tb or 4tb NVME instead (I prefer not to waste the included one).

    2- option 2 :buy a PCIe to m.2 adaptor + a secondary NVME - will this setup have enough space? would it be easy to plug them or I have to take the graphics card out?

    3- option 3 buy SATA SSD - again is space and issue?

    How are people adding more storage? Thanks so much for any advice!

      There are two m2 slots- one hidden under the GPU, which would have your current SSD with an included heatsink. Another m2 slot sits directly under that.

      The GPU would need to be removed to replace the SSD and if you were to install an additional SSD in the other m2 slot you would need one with a heatsink as the motherboard only comes with one.

        Thanks heaps that makes sense, I'll get that 2nd nvme (either Crucial T500 or Samsung 990 Evo plus) and update how I go

    Looking to put it with a MINIFORUMS 790i and Jonsbo Tk-0 mITX case. Will look sick with a high end GPU in that, if it comes in a two fan design.

  • Wrathie on 05/04/2025 - 17:59

    Mine is missing HDD mounting screws for the case.

    The GPU support bracket wasn't screwed in and was flapping loosely and didn't accommodate my minor request for wiring in sata cables you the back of the case.

    Is anyone else having issues in trying to get a reply out of Techfast? I ordered mine 03 Feb Gamerock for Late March/Early Feb delievery. Tried to change to Gamepro by email so i can get it on time but getting no replies. Mine is stuck on "order placed" and im seeing alot of orders done after me exact same system getting fufilled. I can't find a phone number on the website to call. Kinda feeling left in the lurch here.

    • Mxrky on 07/04/2025 - 15:50

      You could maybe try emailing from a different email address if you have one but just supply the invoice number and they dont have a phone number to ring. emailing seems the best in which they usually respond from in my expierence more towards the end of the week

      • jalu on 07/04/2025 - 16:31

        Thanks for the reply man, have you gotten any success from doing this?

        • Mxrky on 07/04/2025 - 16:49

          I wasnt getting a response for a few days and then sent an email from a different address and happened to get a response that day but i put that down to coinidence

          • Bargain4Days on 07/04/2025 - 23:47

            @Mxrky: Still waiting on my game rock card, here are the 2 emails I got for an ETA, both are different times lol.

            Thursday 20th March

            Good afternoon,
            We have an update for your order. You may be aware that RTX 5080 orders are currently experiencing delays due to manufacturer short-shipping forecast quantities to Australia. We've been managing orders as best we can while waiting for the most accurate information to give to you.

            At this stage we believe it will be 10-15 business days before we receive a GameRock card for your order - please note this is an estimate provided to us by the distributor based on information from the manufacturer, but is not a confirmed timeline as yet.

            However, Palit GamingPro cards are on hand and available to swap into. So if you wanted to change to that card (along with a refund of the $100 upgrade price you paid for GameRock), you can do so.

            To confirm your options, they are:

            1) Wait for the GameRock card, currently estimated to arrive in 10-15 business days.
            2) Swap into the GamingPro card with a $100 refund. Your order will go into the build queue for orders with that card, in order of the date and time you placed your original order. I can confirm we are actively working on that queue all this week.
            3) Cancel for a full refund

            We do both sincerely apologise for the above scenario, understand any frustration caused, and thank you again for your patience. Pease advise what you would like to do.

            Wed 2nd April

            Hi Bargain4Days,

            The third week of April is our current ETA On Gamerock cards as per our latest update email.

            Kind Regards,

            Caleb
            Sales and Support Officer

            I have send an email chasing up on a proper eta on when my PC will be shipped, but TechFast seems to be eluding on making a direct answer…

            I made my order on the 1/2/25 for the game rock edition. It has been almost 3 months since…

            • Mxrky on 08/04/2025 - 08:59

              @Bargain4Days: That is not what you like to hear, They dont seem keen at all on giving someone a proper eta not quite sure why i do feel for you on waiting whats made you decide to stick with the gamerock?

              • Bargain4Days on 08/04/2025 - 13:29

                @Mxrky: Game rock has a better/ bigger cooler. At this point its more of a matter of principal I suppose. I got gamerock in the first place because it was a quicker eta. Obviously 2 months later not the case at all.
