Yeah, as Spidertracks said .. Changed the Strix to a normal 3090 and the order was in build within 2 working days ..

Original order was on the 6th November ..

My PC was sat in a depot overnight literally half a mile from where I live .. and I'm thinking .. "What if there's a fire?" .. "What if they got robbed?" .. So all night before delivery I'm looking out the window in the direction of the depot for orange skies and blue flashing lights .. :(

I mean, of course, you can hear it when at full load but, compared to the 980ti I had previously which would scream at me like a banshee when pushed .. the Zotac sounds like a little Baby Fairy breaking wind in comparison .. with sound coming through your monitor or with head phones on, you hear...

I can barely hear them .. I'm sat ear level, 2 feet max away from the side of the PC and although there is general "hum" I can hear .. when the GPU fans kick in it barely raises

Got the Zotac Trinity .. (y) And the 3090 is obscenely fast .. o_O

So I dropped the Strix 3090 on Friday .. and Bazza has now finished his bacon butty and thrown it in the back of his van for delivery tomorrow .. It's turned out a no-brainer decision for me in the end .. I was never wedded to the Strix .. and if it means I get a "better" build tomorrow (due to...

Got the "Awaiting Dispatch" email last night .. just waiting now .. Come on Bazza! Whack it in the back of your van! You're only half-hour down the road!!

Am now in testing .... (y)

As @Ghosthud mentioned a couple of days back - the Strix might not be until the new year .. he gave stock numbers on the 3080 thread saying there's only currently one 3090 Strix assigned - with 80 odd outstanding ..

Thanks. I'd imagine the Brand X 3080 still has a queue but hopefully you'll get sorted soon.

Well I ordered the 6th of November .. and as soon as the Strix was swapped out .. boom. Afterwards, my concern was the 5950x .. would ordering a day after launch cost me an extra couple of weeks waiting for the 2nd or 3rd wave of restock? But it seems not.

Yeah, still the 3090 .. but Brand X as opposed to the Strix

3090 ...

Well, I dropped the Strix on Friday .. and woke up this morning to an email saying I'm in build!!! :):D

Just had a quick look .. somebody in the comments section say the motherboard is an Asus prime a320m-k about which I know nothing ..

Nice one. What GPU was in that if I may ask .. ?

Although I used to do it back in the day when GFX cards were £100 tops .. I wouldn't trust my fat fingers enough these days to install a £1699 graphics card myself .. :rolleyes: .. let the pros do it and if they break something .. it's on them!!! :)

Well, i've done it - dropped the Strix and changed to Brand X .. couldn't help spending some of the savings though .. ;)

Thanks @Ghosthud . I'm not wedded to the idea of a Strix .. I just had the budget for it at order time and thought why not? It's like walking into a cake shop with £10 as opposed to £5 and getting the big chocolate cake instead of the fairy cake. Both would have been suffice. Just to confirm...
