Overclocked Bundle - Build Time

[Anfield]

Hi Guys,

I just purchased an overclocked bundle and I was wondering how long the whole process takes? Will I receive it some time next week?

Thanks in advance.

Awww man my heart goes out to you. I was like you hmmm bout three weeks ago.

I can only tell you my experience... I ordered on the 6th April, i'm hoping to receive my build next week round about the 1st or 2nd of may.

About a month overall give or take a day... you're probably gobsmacked especially after being told "order now to recieve by..."

On the plus side tho scan have a good rep and their people are great so I'll leave it to a scan employee to answer proper, you'll get an official response tomorrow for sure.

Hopefully you'll get Carl he has saved me from cancelling on more than one occasion

Oh...

I misread your post...

Your build has already started...

My build started on tuesday 24th and is at stage 6 burn-in... so i'm hoping to receive by next week sometime??? A week?

Interesting, I ordered up the SLIK - Intel Core i7 3960X - Overclocked to 4.6GHz bundle start of week and was hoping to get it early next week, got an email today to say the paperwork has been done? and passed to the build team, so I guess its down to how busy they are now? email said about 3 to 4 working days, so maybe by end of next week I'll have the bundle I hope.

Good communication though and I appreciate that.

So do you get updates during the build?

I think the main issue with me was the gtx 680, they were out of stock and only came in last week so maybe that's why it took so long...

One thing i will say is trust nothing in emails regarding dates...

You should have a build number and build date... mine was 24th April, it's now 27th and at stage 6\10. Not sure if that gives you a general idea or not.

As for communication during the build itself... oh yes it's awesome you get an email for each stage... its very good actually.

Even though I only ordered on Thursday I'm hoping to get an update today, getting a build number would be great I've been told middle of this week so hopefully Scan won't let me down!

Well, I did receive an email saying my order had been passed onto the build team to check stock levels. Really looking forward to receiving it this week
