Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme, Quite interesting....

[TAKTAK]

Hey guys, i emailed Thermalright after the stock dates got pushed back yet again.
i said:

hello
i have had my TRU120E on order from scan for over 2 ish months now (as has my brother and various other people i know) is there a fixed date for stock to be in as the date has just been pushed back yet again, as if it is going to be a while and the TRU120BlackE is released before the original TRU120E then we will probably get that instead.
so what are the expected supply dates for the TRU120E and the TRU120bE?

thanks guys.

P.S. if you could get back to me with this info so that i know where i stand, that would be awsome

they replied (very quickly i should add):

James,



I would recommend purchasing from one of our authorized resellers (listed on our website). I can’t think of any reseller here in the states that has U120E on backorder. So I don’t see why the UK would have this problem. This product should be readily available.



As far as the TRUE BLACK, you would be waiting more than a month for this product.

hmm, interesting, so thermalright seem to think that the TRUEs are readily available in the UK...

i replied:

Thanks for your speedy reply, but the TRUE is NOT readily available...

it is out of stock on every site i have tried (originally expecting stock on the 30th of march then pushed back to the 15th april then it got pushed back to 30th now it has been pushed back to 15th may):

scan.co.uk
overclockers.co.uk
overclock.co.uk
quietpc.co.uk
thecoolingshop.com
internetreadypcs.co.uk
emodder.com
kustonpcs.co.uk
filtron.com
tekheads.co.uk
valtechcomputers.net
candccentral.co.uk
amazon.co.uk
novatech.co.uk
1337pc.co.uk

there are lots of threads on heXus.net and bit-tech.net and other forums about the shortages of the TRUE's because of the sheer amount of people that are waiting for them.

if you could direct me to a UK site that has stock, it would be greatly appriciated.

thanks again

still waiting for a reply on this one, and i will update accordingly, just thought it might be of interest to some of you.

but another thing i should add, is that, the UK seems to be the only place that has a stock shortage... the USA/rest of europe ect all have stock, the UK's seems to be just left in the dark...

edit: oh and please don't turn this into the whole 'whats the point in getting a TRU120E when you can just get a scythe mine' etc

Probably a shipping issue.

Sounds a bit like another American company not really paying much attention to UK business.

except there taiwaneese.....

[Flewis]

But they are based in the USA too. thermalright.com is the USA website. There isnt a UK site. They definitely seem more interested in american business.

Ahh, but did you try overclcokers.co.uk?

[TAKTAK]

wow, i didnt notice that and i was staring intently at the list hoping for one i'd missed

moral of this story.... stare more intently

possibly like this:

A) I care, thanks for the update;

B) Kickbacks?? Seriously, if OCUK are getting them, then other retailers should get stock pretty soon.
