Build Time
Standard Build - Approximately 8 to 10 working days
My new build arrived exactly 28 earth days after I placed the order. I am good with that considering the now resolved Asus issues. I paid to have it get here before midday and it arrived at about 9.00am.
Customer support over the past few weeks has been poor, as has been noted elsewhere. I never did get any answer from the online help and the average amount of time it took for someone to pick up the phone was about 15 minutes. I know they have been working hard to resolve the backlog and get support back up to how they would like it. Whenever I did speak to someone they were polite and professional and helpful.
The cardboard box it come in is big. I know I have to keep it just in case of RMA, but I may have to rent a barn to do so...
The packaging was very good, very secure, at least on the outside. There was a big notice that I had to take care and remove the inflatable plastic bag they put inside the box to protect the parts in transit. I didnt have to do this as there wasnt one in mine.
Neither, it turned out, had anyone included the mains plug. Not that thats a big issue, there was one plugged into my TV, and I dont suppose I will be watching TV for a while.
The case and the innards look immaculate, no scratches or scuffing. The left side panel doesnt completely perfectly align with the case, but it almost does and is acceptable even for an Audi driver like me.
The Ram is Palit, not Kingston.
I cannot get the Dell U2515 to work with my new Cromo DP lead. I have tried all the various combinations and nothing. The Dell works fine with the miniDP lead from the Macbook Pro. Luckily I had a spare HDMI lead, after all, I am not going to be using the bluray player for a while for obvious reasons. Not only does it work perfectly but it works at 1440p which is something of a relief.
The fans emit a steady soft whoosh and Corsair link confirms that everything is running at not much more than room temperature except for one of the Ram cards (at least I assume that's what it is) which it says is 100 degrees C. I am hoping this is an error, assume it is as it was saying that from the moment I turned it on, the other is 30 degrees.
I dont know if it has been OC'd and if so by how much. Not something I know anything about. I have downloaded CPU-Z but I dont really know what I am looking at. I havent had any info from PCS about (it isnt where I thought it would be, on the order). Not that it really matters to me, be nice to know though.
Windows 10 looks very functional coming from Safari of late, the scaling works well to 1440pm 25inch.
All in all I am very pleased with my nice new toy, this is the third build I have had from PCS, and despite the problems over the last few weeks, I would buy from them again.
