Yeah I’ve got a 3080. I’m not in building but they’ve emailed me saying I need to change my motherboard. Just wondering as I’ve probably got 40 more working days of waiting, is it smart to leave the motherboard as it may restock?
It’s entirely up to you.
What is this? I’m the forum’s resident Mary Berry 🤨
Do we have an imposter............................
so what your saying is no more cake as its not really a topic on the 3080 its just how long people have been waiting for their pcs, i think cake talk should be allowed

I don't understand, how can an item that you've paid in full months ago become out of stock for you if at the time of purchase it was available and not on pre-order, etc. This does not look right, the items that are in stock at the time of purchase should be reserved for you waiting only for the pre-order item. Is this not right? Is this in PCS T&C's to use "your" items that you've paid for in someone elses build and let them become out of stock for you...??
If you read the forum stickies, it's all outlined, if there is a person in the queue further ahead than you that requires a part that's allocated to you, it will be transferred to them, order date takes priority.
Totally agree with you guys! Is just, somehow dosen't feel right. I still think that if someone wants to amend his order, they can only pick a specific item that PCS have in stock (extra and not transferred from someone that bought it already) and if they still want to go ahead amending the order they should only be able to pre-order it. Anyway, not point moaning about this, they have to run the business and keep the customers happy whatever it takes...well, at least some of the customers!
Unfortunately a lot of people will order before getting advice and then much later on realise that perhaps what they've ordered isn't suitable and then essentially change the entire build, this happens very often and really messes up the allocation system....
There are no "your" items until it's in your hands. Items that were in stock at the time of your order are used by builds ahead of you in the queue, and because of the uncertainty in stock deliveries there is currently a good chance that popular items will have been used up by the time they get to your build in the queue and you have to wait.
At least it gives me something to break the long haul with!!
I believe Albert Einstein summed it up beautifully "Time is relative; its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing"Hi guys, I am a mere whippersnapper with just 25 working days under my belt, and have been watching this thread on a daily basis, must say the first 25 days seemed to have flown by, but I bet time slows right down the nearer to the 100 plus mark you get, when you are expecting some movement on your order! I am thinking I might repost my specs at around 50 working days in pre-production to see if any tweaks are advised
Yeah it’s a bit of a bummer but they give parts to orders that they can ship with them. So kinda makes sense. Just hope the part is back in by the time I get a GPU allocated.
