Title: Good (and cheap) source for 3080s?
Post by: peAk on March 10, 2015, 11:25:51 AM
Looking to grab some (8 pin) 3080s and I know smallbear has them for about $5 a pop.

Just curious if anyone has had any luck with any of the chinese sellers on Ebay?

Any and all recommendations are appreciated!

Mklec has them. Probably quite the price you want but they go down to $4 in quantity. The two I've bought have worked great. It might be better to go with a known source.

I think I got some from goodbuy about a year and a half ago and they were all good, have them in a 4 knob comp and a sharkfin. But I don't know how things are now.

Not very helpful, but Dr Tweek in the UK always has some and I highly recommend him.

Be careful using this vendor...I've heard nightmares.

Thanks guys

I took my chance with an Asian Ebayer (goodbuy). Its not like I am dealing with 3005s so I decided its worth a gamble.

10X for $16.00, so about $1.60 a piece.

Hopefully it works out. If not, I learned my lesson.
