Ok but putting €3500 on a card when I also have a liquid MSi X in RTX 4090 which does the same thing, I don't find that too normal.....

You got a 9.5% memory overclock over the guaranteed number for the GPU, with 2 data points. That's a normal outcome and sometimes reviewers get merely reasonable OCs, too. I think Tom's Hardware got an i7-7700K which only OCd to 4.9GHz stable when most other reviewers went to 5.0 and some to 5.1. Your 2 samples which "only" OC by 9.5% is expected and of course easily matches and exceeds the card's listed specs.

silicon lottery, the overclock of one card doesn't mean you can replicate the same overclock on others. You pay for the advertised specs on the box, anything you can add over that is the cherry on top, but never guaranteed to be able to do it.

I don't either, so why did you do it?

Note how clean the wiring is, thanks to the fans having little pins on the sides, so they can be daisy-chained together easily, without any visible cables

My Lian-Li fans have this, and it's a design I quite like. However, I had to pay $200 for 6 fans, which I was a bit pissed about.

I'd add another "T" to that "But Expensive" award in this specific case.

Y'know, like "butt ugly"?

$33/fan is outrageous when most of the money goes on RGB nonsense and pogo pins when the actual fan is outperformed by something that costs $4.09:

Amazon.com : B0BKPG3T1M

Currently the cheapest known-brand FDB bearing fans that I know of and I've gladly paid more than twice as much at £7 ($9) per fan for equivalent quality/performance.

I'm not saying your fans are bad, because they're not.
I'm saying that your fans are an absolute rip-off.

If the only concern were quality/performance, I would have gone with cheaper fans for sure, but I liked the aesthetic of them, so I went with them.

(That, and the daisy-chainability).

that price is OK, but more than 2K for just GPU, this is whether enterprise class or one are idiot.

Yeah I have seen the prices of the 4090s creeping back to $1599 but it's low bearing fruit for those with quick reflexes.

I wouldn't buy a gaming PC from Dell - I know (or more accurately, don't know) the crap they do to their computers' innards. For $2300 I would like to have some upgradeability.

their gpus are solid enough. given how crazy 4090 prices are these days, you might actually get out ahead by pulling all useful parts (cpu, memory, ssd) besides the gpu from the build and just throwing away all the garbage.

Thank goodness that this thing isn't available in my area, my area is full of extremely rich people who can spend a house's worth of money on a computer or people who can't afford anything higher than the 6500 xt, no in between for some odd reason.
