I am just lucky I stopped watching tv show as that runs passthrough sound to receiver so I wouldnt have heard hte notifactions go off, literally less than a minute after stopping watching they all popped off.

Got an E-Mail from scan and my order is pending payment now, how long did it take pending to clear for others?

I am refreshing the page every few minutes with a bad feeling in stomach every time.

All these FE cards come with the 12-pin to 2x8 pin adapter cable. You will be fine. The contact PSU manufacturer is all about replacing that adapter with a cleaner looking direct 12-pin to PSU cable. Totally optional and a non issue for those that don't care about having the slightly messier adapter plugged in.

Ah, I see. Cheers, @mrk I may have to see if Corsair have one on their site, I'd prefer it to look tidy as it's glass panel on display.

All orders will go through the first 2 stages fairly quickly, then someone on their end will manually check every order and if they see any issues, the order gets cancelled.

Don’t get your hopes up until you get a shipping notification.

Out of curiosity, how long were the RTX 3080 FE available on this drop for in the UK?

There were two drops about 20m apart, not sure on either because after order confirmation page I was stuck on my account waiting for it to go from pending to processing and now im waiting for proper solid confirmation and it to pass the Pending Payment Authorisation.

Mine said that and then moved to an actual order so I think you’re golden!

Did it go straight from that to picking or did you go to Pending Payment Authorisation first?

Purchased just over an hour ago now and getting more and more nervous til it actually goes through lol

Edit
Just seen Captains post, im hoping they just clocked out at 8pm and that mine will carry on tomorrow and not get cancelled, this is my first order ever with them, created account last November/December time with them.

Got an E-Mail about my order and invoice will come at later date, really hoping it goes through otherwise I will put the hulk to shame, been waiting too long for this.
 
Bagged a 3080 FE.

The browser on my desktop was freezing, I ended up completing it on my phone.

Has anyone used a 650W PSU with a 3080? Mixed reports online about this.

I have to figure out where to sell my existing 3070 now.

It was pending, then payment approved. Still awaiting picking at the moment.

It was at least 6-7 minutes.

I initially added the 3070 to my basket as it was the first link I clicked. My adrenaline immediately rushed, I panic started filling in details.

Halfway through I thought to myself, why am I not getting the 3080? as that is the one I wanted. So I opened it in a new tab and was prevented from adding it to my basket as it was already full.

So I opened Firefox and pasted the URL, then I needed to prove I was a human by clicking buses and planes, and it was still available.

Then I had a problem on the payment verification screen popup not letting my click the verify button, so needed to go back and fill in payment again.

Then had to run upstairs and get my mobile to enter a passcode for payment verification.

And it was accepted.

I just checked the timings, and the verification happened at 19:37, and my order went through at 19:46.
I think the cheaper cards all went quite quickly.

It’s a shame because that means you can’t upgrade will just have to buy on a different card and different address what a faff

Without it would make getting them even harder so don't see the problem , people should choose wisely what model they want

Should get refresh to buy again once 40 series drops
