I didn't

So my 3080 works perfectly fine with the caveat that I do not currently have a heatsink capable of well, Operating with it, It was instantly picked up in windows

I don't know if you got yours from the same seller I got mine in but! It had a lot of dried thermal paste smeared in odd spots so I've spent a fair bit of time cleaning it up and checking it over, After-all I don't get any 'do-overs' so to speak, I will be installing it sometime in the next 24 hours to see how we go, I've also dropped down too a single stick of 32GB of ram and reset the bios to make sure I have the least issue's possible while checking things over.

Anywhere that isn't taobao that sells it?

If we could get access to that, We could use things like https://coral.ai/products/m2-accelerator-dual-edgetpu/, Maybe not that one specifically since that one is keyed wrong but we could use things like that and it would be amazing for Acceleration of AI specific tasks. Also my 3080 has arrived finally and I shall be getting it on thursday, now if @Developer79 can provide details of how their brackets work, Pictures of said brackets, Or a place to purchase said brackets that would be great, Otherwise I will be doing an initial "does it turn on" test and then making my own.

I am fairly sure there are MXM adapter boards to support NVME m.2 slots so we can use Tensor based Addin cards on that slot if we want.

I never said you did? been there done that, zero response. same 3080 that I have on the way, It's shipping is taking forever though. On a different topic, I would of liked to of seen AMD continue on and make some current gen MXM cards since Nvidia is trying their best to get rid of it when there really is no need to get rid of the MXM formfactor as a standard. I will point out that despite it being low end and being type A https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/partner/showcase/offering/a5b3b0000004g2yAAA/adlink-mxmaxe-mxm-31-type-a-module-based-on-intel-arc-gpu.html Intel has an Arc GPU on MXM, Maybe Intel will start putting higher tier things on MXM?

Don't bother asking, everytime I have mentioned or asked for pictures or anyhting else I never get a response out of them that actually involves or includes those, They've also mentioned they had them for sale/developed them but I still havn't seen them so I honestly don't know. I currently have 3 heatsinks and will modify one if I must in order to get it to work, The main concern is the Bios, Anything else is secondary. It's currently still in transport as-well, everything takes forever to get too australia.

Can you briefly explain what you mean? I didn't understand your text Can you please point out the part you don't understand as the entire post is very clear and obvious.

So I found a cheap 3080 and pulled the trigger and it should arrive very soon, Here's hoping one of my heatsinks works, I wouldn't of normally of pulled the trigger but it was cheap and I've recently gotten myself a nice bonus. And with tax time around the corner it'll be time to get that panel. Does anyone know what kind of screws the CPU Mount uses so I can get some replacements as they are unfortunately starting to round ou.

Perhaps for places that ship to EU or America but I can't find any that ship to Australia so I am probably going to go to the other one. Can you link a cable to use with the B173ZAN03.3 I would also like to know if there are any tear down guides for the Panel enclosure as I've never had to take it apart.

So the panel on my machine got damaged in an unfortunate accident and has a small but annoying scratch on it, Entirely my fault, but this does mean it's time to buy a panel sooner rather than later. I was initially going to order https://www.panelook.com/B173ZAN06.C_AUO_17.3_LCM_overview_60027.html the 4k 144hz HDR1000 compliant panel from aliexpress but they have dissappeared I have found sellers selling https://www.panelook.com/B173ZAN03.3_AUO_17.3_LCM_overview_45254.html wich is 4k 120HZ no HDR but I can deal with that for a reasonable price. I think someone here is already running one of these as-well so It should just be a drop in and go

Not bad, What's it's over-all power draw after your shunt mod and before it?

What are your temps like at full load on that 3080

What version did that end up being, Did it happen to include a 128GB + Thunderbolt ram fix? If yes, Anywhere I can donate and request a copy? And no there are no changes too it, Even when trying to for example force less than 1V it still wont change, So either I'm doing something wrong, Or it's just not accepting it or something else is at play.
