I know what you're saying but to be honest I find it easier now that I know things are moving along. The thing I found hard to deal with was being stuck in pre-production with no notion of how long I was going to be there... Know that I know things are happening and that it'll be here soon I...
To be fair, if the 3060ti is enough for your needs paying extra money for the 3070 to potentially get into build a couple of days earlier is probably not worth it?
I just did it mainly because I'm restless and a bit of an idiot. 😅
......aaaaand there we go, 20 days in mine has gone into build!
Now, in what may seem poor form given that I started the 3060ti thread on here, I ended up taking the GPU out of the build and sourcing a 3070 from a retailer since I kept seeing them come in stock. This may have helped my build...
I decided to add some MOAR FANS to this. I might want to try mount the GPU vertically but obviosuly there could be some thermal implications to that so having two extra fans bringing in air from the bottom and one extra exaust on the top makes sense to me.
Also makes the whole thing even more...
Thanks for sharing man, that's quite a few builds in this thread that have been delivered around day 24/25ish so that seems a reasonable thing for others to hope for.
Like I said, I think we all understand this and in particular with regards to the GPU it's a problem right now.
But there are two posters in the thread here who have taken the GPU out of their build and sourced their own for that reason, and while there may be some shortages of the 5600x as...
I think everyone can understand that there is a global component shortage and that this will affect delivery times, but if you're on 24 days and more and all your components are available from retailers then obviously that's a lot harder to swallow. Hope you get a reply from them!
My build is with the 5600x, which was marked as "per-order" when I first placed my order so I'm prepared for shortages. That said, I've seen it pop up, albeit briefly, with retailers fairly regualrly in the last week so I'd be surprised if it was a huge problem for PCS to get their hands on it.
