I know this is probably cheating as I changed to a 3080 Ti last week, but I've been checking this thread almost every day since I ordered with a standard 3080. It's been a wild ride and it is a bit disappointing that I won't be getting the day 100 cake from @AgentCooper, but at least that's 1...

I'm on 89 working days, and I plan to change to a 3080Ti as soon as it becomes available, which it does not seem to be even though today is the launch date.

It feels like there is still a long way to go...

Almost there...

Congratulations! I think @AgentCooper owes you a cake for this.

Got the email yesterday encouraging me to amend my order to a different GPU, but I've waited this long... May as well go all the way!

Hi I am currently in the pre-production queue for a PC containing an RTX 3080, but during the course of this PCS have now started stocking a case that I would like to amend my order with (Corsair 4000D), my current selected case is a Corsair Carbide 275R. I also have 3 extra fans as an addition...

Looks like I'm a quarter of the way there...

I just reached Pre-Production day 20... Still a long way to go it seems.
