Build date today! :)

[Gurthro]

I ordered a 3XS Z77 Vengeance OC -with 1 or 2 upgrades- on the 10th of November and was given a build date of the 3rd of December. The build was started on the day given and I received an email saying estimated 4 days to dispatch. Next day another email saying build was in the next stage estimated day of dispatch.....still 4 days. AAAaaarrgh.
Anyway, upshot is, another email on Saturday told me build and testing is complete and it was being passed to couriers for delivery.

It's been a long wait but from what I've read here it's going to be worth waiting for. Good luck.

Build started for me today too..... getting close

mem test for me now still estimating 4 working days until dispatch

[phil4]

Don't forget dispatch and delivery aren't quite like other places. As I recall add at least 3 days and more like 5 onto the dispatch date. It certainly wasn't next working day or similar for me last time.

Haha yeah that's true! But I'm getting DPD instead of netsolve so fingers crossed...

Mem test since 9AM yesterday.. they must be testing pretty thoroughly....

[phil4]

Mine was in mem test from about midday today.... Having done a few mem tests myself over the years.... They can be left to run for days. I wouldn't be surprised if they leave it to run for 12-24 hours. And that assumes no problems.

I think I'm tracking one day behind you, so keep the updates coming

[captowen]

Haha will do phil! By the way what will you be playing when you receive yours? We need to test our machines online I think

[phil4]

Minecraft ....

In all honesty dunno yet. Really only get a few minutes a day to play games so will have to chose wisely. FarCry3 looks quite good.

49 hours since it started RAM testing...sigh

[phil4]

Stage 5 for me now (software). Since I didn't order any software I'd hope this is rather quick.

[captowen]

Stage 7 quality control for me now..

[phil4]

Now onto 6 (told you software would be quick), this is the over clock and burn in which should take at least 24hours unfortunately.

[captowen]

Im still on quality control but its soo close! Can't wait to get BF3 loaded on it! I will literally be like a kid at christmas when this arrives, haha!

[phil4]

Mines still on burn-in. I hope to be in QC tomorrow. Have it in my paws early-mid next week.

My current PC is about 6 years old so feeling a bit slow these days.
