Mine's arrived! It appears to all be in working order. Just running all the updates and downloading programmes/media and then I'll take it for a spin on some games. The graphics card that I got is a Zotac Gaming Geforce RTX 3070 ti. More details at the end of my original forum post here...

It's arrived! It appears to all be in working order and no damage - I was a little worried given some of the horror stories that have been reported on the forum, but everything appears to be fine. All Windows updates completed, the graphics driver appeared to be the latest version so I haven't...

My new computer from PCS should arrive tomorrow. All being well, once it's up and running I would like to benchmark it. I tried to get 3DMark but it redirected me to Steam. There is some free downloadable content but it says that you need the base programme first, which costs £22.99. Am I...

Mine went into testing at about 14:00 today 😃

Ok, makes sense. Thanks for the tip.

The funny thing is that I have been checking the order page 20 times a day since I hit buy and there was no sign of any change. Then, I go away for a long weekend and don’t check it, and it goes into production! I’m actually hoping that they don’t finish testing until the end of the day and so...

I got an email first thing this morning saying mine is going into building. I’m on 22 working days.

You've certainly done all the logical steps for different types of faults. I'm impressed with how you have stuck at this to try to fix it yourself. My last question was just trying to understand if the current combination of hardware and programmes has ever worked without fault, or if ever...

Have you had this switching off issue with these games ever since you have been playing them, or did you used to be able to play them for an extended time and it is only recently that it has started switching off after a while?

I hit a milestone today, although not quite as high as they have been hitting in the 3080 queues, so I don't know if it warrants a cake from @AgentCooper yet. I'll throw my own mini 'celebration'...

Thanks for sharing.

An AMD CPU was literally the first component that I selected! There are still some people on here in pre-production. It's not too late for them to change...

Congratulations! How many days pre-production were you on?

It's often recommended to do the occasional clean install of Windows (once or twice per year). For this, Microsoft recommends a USB flash drive of at least 8GB. I have never had too much trouble with flash drives, but I wanted to get a good one for keeping my PCS desktop (when I get it) up to...

@Samiplops very nice - do you know what day you went into building? @Zazzri I'm on day 19 and still in pre-production! I hope ours do go into build soon, although I only recently switched to a 3070ti - don't know if that affects things, but I heard that it shouldn't. I have noticed that the %...

It could be the PSU, or it could be the GPU. Sometimes it can be hard to pinpoint the source of noises. Also, everything is connected together in a computer, so one part might be the source of the noise and then the vibrations are hitting another part of the computer that happens to be resonant...

Hi Ellie, further to what I suggested yesterday, and what Ubuysa was suggesting (about it potentially being related to software), a clean windows install would help, making sure to get the updates and drivers afterwards. If this is not something that you are familiar with doing, this video might...

One thing that I have wondered about is the days referred to on the order page. The website and order information is clear that the production time is in working days, which are Monday to Friday (inclusive). It might help for that to be labelled something like 'Elapsed time since order', as I...

I decided to switch my order to an NVidia 3070 ti based on ray tracing and DLSS. Hoping it doesn't affect my waiting time too much...

Out of interest, have you done a clean install of Windows in the past year or so? Just trying to cover all bases as it seems like you have done some good checks on the hardware. Perhaps if you do a clean install of Windows, get all the updates and then make sure your hardware drivers are up to...
