If

Do you think it would void the warrantee if you changed the capacitors yourself?

ofc it would is that question even real ??

It's already been reported that having 6 full mlcc is just as bad as 6 poscaps, just coz more expensive doesn't make all 6 better, by the looks of it, due to noise, they need to be alternate, like 1 set poscaps, 1 set mlcc, 1 set poscaps, which makes 4+2 like the FE has, which seems to the the optimum configuration for the setup of the capacitors, I wonder if Asus will change from all 6 mlcc down to 4+2 as most AIBs are doing now.

If EVGA sent the googley eyes out with the card... I think they're on to a winner tbh

if they had spinning button on top of that

There's going to be a lot of regret from everyone cancelling their card if this turns out to be a trivial software fix with no impact on performance.

I think most probably cancelled here because of the garbage CS in fairness.

If this is true thats absolute trash
How can you take one payment method by order time and penalise others by when their own slow system processed ?

Length of time for calculator fits conveniently into the timeframe of when there's likely to be more shipments
Seems OCUK don't want to release this queue positions for fear of mass cancellations
Extremely poor form

Yep pretty poor

Absolutely no way they are shafting Amazon UK Payments by delaying their queue position until the payment was approved. I'm sorry that Amazon wasn't immediate but due know they got my order at a certain time. I'm praying I'm not shafted.

I cancelled my MSI Ventus order today at 13:00 ish. Received confirmation via email at 16:15, so for anyone worried that OC are taking ages to cancel, they're not.

 

[Kazounet]

How do you know your position in the queue?

 

[Dean Guile]

Basically to put it simple, I would be worried and returning any card that has a FULL set of either MLCC or Poscaps, all MLCC or all Poscaps has shown to cause a lot of instability, 5+1 with 1 set of mlcc looks to be better, and more stable BUT is more akin to those non OC cards such as ventus and so on, but the big boy cards like the Trio X should and now have the 6x2 configuration with 2 sets of mlcc in alternate coloumns, which shows to not only be the most stable, but by a long way more stable than having all 6 mlcc or all 6 poscaps.

The 6x2 config is showing stable overclocks at up to 2100mhz without a hitch, depending on silicon lottery of course also. (there are still some crashes, but the number is reduced so much it's pretty much a non issue, drivers and so on at that point imo)

The all 6 mlcc was crashing just as much and sometimes even more so than 6poscaps

And I think most of you have already seen 6 all poscap issues.

There are dozens of tests/videos/reports out there now, I can't count how many i've watched no more, don't think any more info can get drummed into my head!!

i am happy to wait so even if they said nov or dec, i would be happy at least i got a month out of them at the moment it is looking like 6+ months.

To me it seems like there's a distinction between approval and completion, though I'm not sure which one OC are going by.

I also paid through amazon, and received a payment authorisation email from OC at 15:17 on the 17th when I placed my order. (MSI Gaming X)

I didn't receive confirmation from amazon until 00:55 on the 18th.

My assumption is that OC acknowledged payment at the time of order and my place in the queue starts there - the alternative is UNFATHOMABLE

i got bored waiting for my 3080 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ao-u0mOKhbc

BUT WHY? lol

Same as you, payment authorisation email at 15:16 for a MSI gaming X. I hope your reasoning is correct

This is the logic that I am going by and if that differs from what OCUK are actually doing, I will cancel. As far as I am concerned I paid when I placed the order.

can you link me these tests? the only ones i've seen either show the poscaps being more crash prone, or the cards being crash prone when pushed to higher clocks across the board. i haven't seen a single test that shows the ASUS TUF (6 x MLCC) being more unstable than the FE or other 4+2 variants.

i know better than to take anyone's word for anything at this point.

The issue with payments.

1. Amazon - you click pay with Amazon which send a message to Amazon payment servers which then card details with your bank or credit card company. This all takes time and after which you could be declined so you order won't be paid for until Amazon says fund are good.

2. PayPal is the same.

3. Finance - you have to apply and then wait for the yes or no this takes time and order cannot be confirmed until you get a yes.

4. Debit card or credit card - request to bank straight yes or no answer takes no time at all which means order get placed faster.

So they could actually have to wait for payment confirmation until the approve your order etc then you would go by the time in your email.
