Good luck on the drops today everyone!
Just some informations that some might find useful (if there are any drops today) :
- Associates Code gets you a discount (3% off GPUs, up to 10% off other products on eVGA.com, several people have Associates Code links in their signatures)
- When registering your card (after you receive it), use an eVGA Rewards Code when registering, it gives the person who's code you use 2 free eVGA Bucks; consider looking through the thread for someone that has one listed & has not gotten their GPU yet - it's not much, but it's something
- Hybrid card tube length is 400mm and should be mounted as exhaust whenever possible to avoid feeding your system lava air as intake
- if you purchase a card elsewhere, don't remove your notifies until you receive it, just to be on the safe side
- PSU recommendations are 750-850W Minimum for a 3080, 850-1000W for a 3090 if you want to be on the "safe" side
- Lastly, Kingpin fan cords are only 6" long, and the stock fans are garbage, you should plan on replacing them
With 3070 cards, I'm going with 850 psu .... I currently have 650 psu, but I think 3070 are like the 3080 ... but you can tell me if that's overkill or a wise decision (upgrading to 850 from 650).
I have a ryzen 9 3900xt with 2 1tb ssd and 2 1tb hdd (but will be adding a 4tb or 6tb hdd). also have a 1070 (waiting for 3070 in queue system).
I’m running a FTW 3070 with a 750 Corsair RM and it’s been plenty. 10600k, MSI Gaming Edge, EVGA AIO, 1 M.2 1TB and 1 2TB SSD.
My son has a 3080 XC3 hybrid on a Corsair 850 RMx and no issues with that one. 5800x, MSI Carbon WiFi, Arctic 360 AIO. 2 M.2 1TB drives and 1 2TB SSD.
Bottom line is I think 850 is more than you need for a 3070 but the extra power couldn’t hurt if you want room for future upgrades.
