I'm sure they will let us know when its drawn, but I suspect those who do the deed of drawing it and contacting the winner were asleep when you asked
Its normally within a few days of the end date of the giveaway entries, but the winner does have 30 days to respond to any contact so it can take...
As I say IF its written as I said above (you didn't say if it was or not - what is the item?) I think its just marketing spiel for 'good price', it may be you got that before they changed the text on the item, though prices can change daily anyways so not sure how you'd tell.
It may be worth...
If its now a free game then its down to what the manufacturers state as their start and end dates - and you have to order in the relevant timespan, so if you order before the start date that PCS were allowed to offer it then PCS cant/shouldn't apply it to your build as its not upto them when its...
Dammit, I may finally have to change to AMD - I was about to start planning my 12th Gen Intel machine, but may have to wait now - grrrrr
The (ancient) game I play really benefits from clock speed
Access Denied normally means the password is wrong, or there is a problem with the account, or even that there are problems with the login process of Sky at the time.
If changing the password doesn't help, or you're sure its correct, and the problem still persists after a day or so I'd give Sky...
I'd normally expect it to be in testing til at least tomorrow.
And then (if nothing is found in testing obviously) hopefully its be dispatched later that day or the next (dependent on the amounts of others awaiting dispatch and how much space there is available in the DPD van(s) (its DPD if...
Once in building the process is normally pretty fast (unless they find something they need to sort out in testing), so you've got over the longest bit of the process :)
As Aza said they will want the old one back, so make sure its ready to hand over when the courier with your new one turns up, it may be different as you're in Jersey but normally in the mainland UK at least the courier hands you the new one and you hand the old one to take back at the same time
Could you let us know what you'll be using it for and if gaming then examples of the games you play will help.
IMO if its only for gaming then a 3090Ti is complete overkill and just not needed
And this is why PCS don't allow you to flash/update the BIOS whilst staying within the warranty I'm afraid, cos that can unfortunately happen if it all goes horribly wrong :(
I'm glad you managed to find a replacement mobo and get it sorted though and glad that its all running again
I think you have to contact them and they will ask for proof of purchase - I don't think you can do it from the site
Phone will be the quickest way to sort it out
Though actually if they've already got it in RMA, it may be registered with them already, it may be registered against the email...
Yeah if it works fine when using the integrated graphics but wont even recognise the existence of the GPU I'd be thinking aa GPU issue - especially as it has been reseated already.
Since it was from Currys then @WastingCache you will have to either go through Currrys or talk to PCS about...
Dependent on the case and the RAM chosen the AIO radiator is sometimes at the front of the case instead of up top, therefore this does affect how long the GPU can be for it to fit.
Its possible the tech building it for you did have a right fight trying to get it to fit, or maybe you've ended up...
Generally I've seen it to be 0.5-2 working days presuming they don't find anything that needs fixing
If it takes longer than that it could be that they've found an issue - or there was a holdup in testing ahead of your build.
If they find any issues then notes should be added to your order in...
