I was looking around and it seems the best value right now is to actually buy an XPS tower from Dell (i9-11900K, 16GB RAM & 3060ti) for €1419 rather than just buying a GPU on it's own. 3060ti prices are pretty much at or just below that on Ebay now anyway.

If you buy goods from the UK (excluding Northern Ireland) from 1 January you may incur charges that are outlined in this page. If your goods have: a customs value (including cost, transport, insurance and handling charges) of €22 or less you will not have to pay Customs Duty or VAT

My 3060ti order is "confirmed" and has a value. My 3070 order is blank except for the order number and has no value. I have also purchased from buy-spares.ie and was charged Irish 23%, no levies. I purchased from currys.ie again order came with Irish VAT charged and no levies. Coffee Table from Marks and Spencers again came with no levies, wasn't business related so didn't get a VAT invoice. Perhaps I was lucky 4 times.

And then an Alienware so I can take the 3090 out and let it mine away at work until I make a proper new build this time next year. And sell the rest of the system on Ebay to make a few quid back.

I never get as high as 110 for throttling but its far too high for my liking. I dont mine at all so thats not an issue for me. I have new thermal pads arriving today to get this replacement done.... not going to lie I am ****ting myself! I've replaced coolers on cards before but 3090 cost is just a different level of risk. At the same time the benefits are so high... and I imagine that constant use at these high temps could result in long term degradation.
