I would advise caution regarding such purchase of defective parts. It's either too good to be true, or you can't handle "the truth".
 
For starters, you'll need proper skill and equipment to conduct repairs on graphic cards. This ain't easy.
 
Also, the seller did not specify what kind of "defect(s)" they card have. If those RTX cards were affected by the early GDDR6 failure or power problems, it's actually less challenging to fix as long as you know how to (de)solder BGA/SMC and where to source them. (And if those card are still covered by warranty, it would be even more simpler.)

You might try posting in F@H forum. But I think someone else might have raised the same issue.

Please notify the person responsible for the server, i.e., joseph, for resolution of the problem.

Well, aren't they all PS exclusives?
 
Get a PS5 or find a PS4 Pro for cheap after PS5 release.

Biometric authentication, if implemented correctly, is comparably more secure than password-only. When combined with traditional username/password mechanism (Biometric as 2FA), will make a system more robust.
 
Then again, as long as there's an pathway, however hard you try to secure it, there's always a flaw somewhere. You can always brute force or social engineer a compromise a password, or extract someone's fingerprint from an object or just cut it off to spoof biometric authentication.

12VO PSU has been out there for a while now, but only for OEM and SI computers. These PSU are simpler and thus cheaper to manufacture/procure, also confront to the "low standby power" legal requirement for the machines they sell. 
 
Motherboard already has its own voltage regulator module (VRM) for many things, that's why CPU and RAM can operate a much lower voltage. It don't hurt much to add more. All they have to do is to modify the circuit tracing to facilitate the added components.

The power supply unit inside the PC is a actually a 12-volt only PSU following the new ATX12VO standard, which explains why it needs a breakout board for SATA power (no 3.3/5 volt output) and the seemingly low 360-watt rated output. It also means that the power supply is more efficient and offer super low standby power.
 
Consider this: they use a mere 460-watt version of the same 12VO PSU, even if you manually configure the machine to the highest possible config (9900K+2080).
 
Calling it "basement tier" clearly shows that you don't even follow the latest development in tech or understand the legal basis for Dell to make such decision.
 
Maybe it's a good time for you to make a Techquickie for the new PSU standard.

Sorry, but some of your claims just aren't correct.
In the "Single Rail Power Supply ATX12VO Design Guide" by Intel, the connector is indeed defined as a 10-pin Molex connector which consists 10 pins.

However, only pin 1,2,3,6,7,8 are necessary for the functioning of a 12-volt only system, pin 4,9 are optional for high power devices, pin 10 is only necessary when using remote load sensing. Hence it's possible for Dell to power a system with a single 6-pin connector.

(Image take from here. Rotated for better viewing)
The 6-pin connector Dell used is a proprietary Molex connector which is both mechanically (due to a different keying) and electrically (due to a different pinout) incompatible with the Intel-defined standardized connector or PCIe power connector. It's impossible to accidentally connect a PCIe power connector to this socket, nor can a standardized connector fit. (This also means this motherboard is only compatible with a Dell-branded 12VO PSU, making the upgrade possible somewhat limited.)

What is the same as the current PCIe power connector, however, is actually the Extra Board Connector in the new ATX12VO standard (as detailed in the section 4.2.2.2 of the guide), which itself is the same as the current implementation of the older ATX12V standard.

ASPI is founded by the Australian government and partly funded by the Australian Department of Defence. It's a think tank rather than a news agency.
 
To me, this does not look like "news" but rather an "original research". And I am not surprised with the content either: same old story we love to hate.

Right now, there's no legit modern triple-A title playable in 8K@60Hz with a current high-end system.
 
I think it's more of a content-consumption device than a true "gaming" TV.
 
But I still believe in its future, if next gen 8K console and the progress in PC gaming can keep with the development in display technologies.

Don't buy QQBY. It's a essentially an early 9900K on P0 stepping, with anecdotal evidence suggesting an AVX offset bug (-1 or default to base clock) since 2018/02 microcode and a conflict with certain PCIe devices. Find a QQZ4 if possible. It's on R0 stepping which fix those issues.
 
In general those ES chips are clocked lower than retail chip (QQZ4: 3.1 - 4.5, 9900K: 3.6 - 5.0), but since QQBY/QQZ4 is unlocked, you can manually overclocked it to match the retail chip.

Closed water cooling kits are not designed to be opened. A loss of coolant will affect cooling performance in the long term, depending on the amount lost.
 
If the screw is not properly screwed in, a leak could destroy your system entirely.
 
Since you made an obvious improper operation, I reckon Corsair will void your warranty.
 
Personally, I would not trust a close loop kit that has experienced disassembly.

As it points out in the "Card Note" and "GA102 GPU Note" section, it's a speculation of the upcoming card(s).
 
Also, they spelled "Ampere" wrong as "Amphere" [sic].

Canada uses 110V AC, which is below the rated input range (180-264V AC) of your PSU, thus it would not work.
 
Get a voltage converter (cheap, but not recommended) or a new PSU.
