Aerons are on sale , 15% off. You can pick a new fully loaded remastered version for £900 ish including delivery. This is the cheapest they've been new for a while. I just had to buy one, my 20 year old Aeron which I bought second hand was getting long in the tooth and with the 12 year warranty...

Fans have been used reliably for decades... so I'm not sure it's the fans fault rather poor engineering choices and quality control over the components. My unit is absolutely fine for example. They could have gone for a chunk of high efficiency copper heatsink but that would have cost quite a...

Lol were you also whinging about the Nvidia launch or did I mix you up with the hundreds of other people who can't handle giving money away for a pre-order? Instead of whinging to paying customers who are quite happy with the service (My 3080 just turned up), maybe go find another forum to whinge?

So is this the time to upgrade my 9900k? I might wait a little bit because my 9900k is solid but... I'd love some sweet IPC.

Gonna assume the GSYNC module will either blow up or thermally limit itself and you'll be stuck at 60hz or something.

Just got a watchdogs code in the mail so I'm hoping that means my 3080 is shipping today. YESSSSSS that Large shipment of MSI Trios must be in now.

Still waiting on these VERY LARGE MSI Trios to turn up. I understand from quite a few places that the global courier networks are running at max capacity so I guess global delays everywhere.

Needs to be 24GB at least to make me consider upgrading from my 3090.

And demand for both consoles is going to be off the scale, unlike any previous console launch. In my humble opinion.

You don't need to worry about it because it's a certainty that AMD won't have enough stock either. Remember XBOX + PS5 are launching too and they're running full pelt to make enough of components for Sony and Microsoft.

Absolutely spot on.... You can't even buy a decent webcam 6 months into Covid, so the supply issues are quite widespread. There is also the matter of the big XBOX + PS5 launches which AMD are producing. There just isn't going to be that much stock. The only saving grace is that AMD Navi is...

Have you noticed how many scalpers have been buying/selling 3080s? And that's with them having to pay upfront. Imagine if they could make a ton of orders for very little outlay? Could be worse. Unfortunately most retailers don't have very good systems when it comes to restricting orders, there...

It's difficult to find between all the drivel honestly. Why don't you clarify the ordering system you think is preferable given what we know: 1. Stock is very limited and arriving in handfuls of cards per week 2. Demand is very high. There seems to be two options: - No pre-orders because they...

So you still haven't come up with a better system then? According to you: 1. Pre-orders are bad and retailers shouldn't offer them because apparently it's mugging people off. 2. People sitting around waiting for stock to arrive are beyond help. So based on the fact that stock is being drip fed...

It's funny because the only awkward unsophisticated person is the one who's terrified of pre-ordering an item because handing over cash without getting the item next day is an alien concept to them. So just to confirm, your idea is that retailers should not offer pre-orders on limited items...

Lots of things in this world operate this way. When you buy a new car you pay the dealer several thousand pounds and don't even know when the car will turn up. Some weeks later you get a provisional build slot, some times those allocations get shifted around. 3-6 months later the car arrives...

You're constantly confusing the retailers and manufacturer tbh.... I think we agree that it was a shambolic launch by Nvidia and that there simply wasn't enough silicon to go around, hence why we have pathetic levels of stock from Nvidia and the board partners. OCUK were simply trying to...

Totally deluded unfortunately. If Nvidia and the board partners actually delivered stock to OCUK then we wouldn't be having this conversation. OCUK have decided to allow pre-orders so people like me can put their money down and wait patiently in a queue for it to be delivered. I guess some...

Absolute tosh. Pre-orders for limited items has been a thing forever.

You aren't making much sense. The retailers have not planned this in advance. That's just a plainly stupid thing to say. Retailers don't make money for products they can't deliver. OCUK would much rather have plenty of stock delivered so they can ship out to customers and actually book profit...
