Running great so far. Had 1 small issue though, they used a daisy chained cable for the RTX 3080, which is a huge no no due to how powerful it is, had to unscrew my PSU and fit in another cable and route it to my GPU, but I did it. One of the staff saw my post an made it aware to the production team leader, so hopefully it doesn't happen in anyone elses build, however anyone who got a build before me probably got the same daisy chained cable, and might not know, which is pretty bad

Oh wow I wouldn’t have known that myself. Can you explain it to a hardware newb?

Well, I'm not the most knowledgeable on the subject myself. But I believe the 3080 can pull upward of 370W+ and I'm pretty sure 1 cable can't carry so much power, and daisy chaining a 3080 can cause instabilities like crashing etc. Having 2 dedicated cables coming from 2 sperate plugs on your PSU ensures that it gets all the power the beast needs lol. Not the best explanation. I'm sure someone much more knowledgable can explain it far better.

Of course I don't mind. I ordered on 1/10/2020

My post was 100% sarcasm, I'm not holding out hope.

I ordered mine on the 20.09 and so far nothing :( it's ready to be built but of course, there's no RTX3080 in stock to finish it.
Hope yours is ready and some of them can start getting delivered to us in the near future.

When you say "nothing" you mean no pc or no email with a date ?

Sorry, I should've been more clear. What I mean was that I didn't get any sort of estimated date, just the email about the shortage and that they have no information when they might be in stock.

Savage. I have just opted for the standard 3080 option so hopefully I won't be waiting till Christmas
