I'll see what I can do! It's a little buried in the corner of my room (airflow is better than it looks though I promise), but it looks *good*!

Yeah, sitting through the regular installation process now, just got to the licence agreement. Looking good so far! Can't fault the hardware, best I can tell, just that one hiccup.

PC arrived today! Got all my monitors and peripherals hooked up, everything looks good, all the hardware is functioning fine. However, it boots directly into an Administrator account, there's a load of files sitting around on the C drive in a temp folder that look like test files - and 'System...

Oh wow that's so close - I must have been right at the end of the ones covered in this batch; you're only 5 days after me. No way you're not in the next set of cards. The end is in sight! Mine's ready for dispatch now, I wonder if it'll arrive over the weekend...

There's still time yet! They might not have started every build on the same day - they can only make so many things at once and they'll have all the builds with other cards to do as well

Woo! Literally days after the email about stock - guess I was one of the 20

'Recommend you amend your order' - Haha, absolutely not! For I have been given the second greatest gift beside the PC itself: 'oldest orders... Mid November'! That's me! With 20 cards coming in, I would hope that I'm in the next batch. Knowing my luck though, I'll be 21st in line

I'm at 116, just a few days ahead of you. Highest I've seen is @SirPointyFeet getting his at 121, don't know about the highest of those still waiting. It's curious though... If they hadn't had any cards for several weeks, where did Pointy's card come from? They surely hadn't sat on a card for...

5950X, I've seen a few people here on a similar timescale to me get their Strix/5950X pairing now

That's me on the big triple-one. Must be almost there now!

Nice! I'm on for those exact parts as well, though I know a couple of my other parts were waiting for stock... A few months ago. Hopefully they're all in now! I'm only 2 days behind you on the timer!

That's me across the big 100 - not long now I hope and I'll be able to let my old laptop rest... She's had a good life.

Great to hear! If yours is being built, surely they haven't only received a single unit, so that should be another batch cleared... Maybe a small one sure, but we're a far smaller list to begin with I expect.

Didn't see this thread earlier, I've been following the main 3080 thread and seeing them all get theirs around the 90 mark. Just cracked 90 myself, sitting on 92 now... 109 like that person up there ^ would take me most of the way through April 😭

Just a quick question really, does anyone know if PCS use black or white Corsair H100i/H115i Platinum coolers? I would assume black, since that's almost universally gonna fit better with their builds, and the picture is black, but you never know! If anyone can confirm that they received - or...
