Pay for fast track? Did that on my other build was built in a day dispatched today.
RTX 3080
- Thread starter GeaCon
- Start date
Probably a waste of money. I'm on pre-production day 33 (now without gpu) so must be right at the top of the queue. They must still be waiting on a part for the build before they can start. I reckon the cooler (H115i)

It won't be a waste of money, if they can't meet the fast track timetable for any reason they refund the fast track payment.
I believe from when I was trying to order, if a part is missing they wont even let you pick fast track as they will be waiting on a part, but as Ubuysa said, even if it did let you pick it and they couldn't do it, they would refund you the fast track charge if they couldn't do it.
My reasoning might have been confusing there. I suspect I'm right at the top of the "standard" queue because I've been in pre-production for so long, thus it wouldn't make much difference changing from "standard" to "fast-track".
My theory is that waiting for a part in the "fast-track" queue probably won't speed up my build any faster than waiting for a part in the "standard" if you're already at the top of the standard?
However, I do understand your answer 100% regarding not being able to meet timeframes
Out of curiosity is there much difference between the Corsair H115i Pro cooler compared to the Plat version?
Which version did you order? I have the RGB Platinum one in my build
Platinum
Are you still waiting on the 3080 as well?
I work in a factory and we're in a similar situation. Luckily we weren't affected much by covid but our suppliers were. We have quite a few orders that are suspended at the moment because we lack the right components. I understand the excitement over a new PC, i'm excited too but this year you can't really predict things, it's been rough for everyone. To be honest I think you all should stop wondering about your position in this phantomatic queue. Realistically speaking multiple people are working on similar configurations and each workstation has its own queue. For many reasons, not excluding covid, one may finish before another. It's just how it is, have patience.
Me too. Happy to wait until then but after it releases I might have a little cry if no new rig
We are exactly on the same boat honestly! I will cry when it's gonna be released and my PC still wont be ready
Yeah, that is the best thing we can actually do at the moment. 😁 I think that Cyberpunk is the best thing that happened this year, honestly! 😂I've personally booked off the 19th and 20th of November, but if I receive the legendary "in build" email beforehand I'll also book a couple of extra days off

I haven't booked any time off, but I have got 5 days of annual leave put aside for the week after I get my "in build" email. My manager's pretty sound, so as long as I'm not requesting a full week off in December, I'm likely to get it.I've personally booked off the 19th and 20th of November, but if I receive the legendary "in build" email beforehand I'll also book a couple of extra days off
Last week I have asked my manager how many days off I've got and he said that I've still got about 12 working days to take!

Best thing this year, unless we receive our 3080 builds!
