It's now changed to "In our Warehouse Queue" so hopefully it'll ship tomorrow. Not had anything take so long to ship from here before!

Got my Gigabyte 7970 today. Great box and all the accessories were inside. Warranty goes until 2016 so it got purchased this year in January by the looks of it.. Hope it got returned because it wasn't what the person who bought it wanted! Can't wait for my new case to arrive tomorrow to install the beasts.

Most likely people returned it due to voltage locked or not overclocking to as high as expected, but both could be overlooked considering the price you get the card at
What was your previous screen?RetrogamerX said:No dead or stuck pixels just have the wrong cable. Went into Nvidia control center and the 144hz option was there but it said I need a dual link cable. I tried it anyways and the screen went all funny. lol Can't wait until I get my dl cable tomorrow.
So fay the only issue I see is there's a little light bleed, on the left bottom and right bottom, but it's very little I didn't even take notice or see it now.
God damn is this monitor HUGE! A little bit bigger then I thought. The screen is so big it's like DAMN!! IN YOUR FACE B****! hahaha It might not be big in the pic, but let me tell you this thing is Massive!
Very happy. Extremely happy in fact
Would be interest to see how you find it in games, with it being 27" @ 1080p, let us know if you find it very blocky etc... tempted to go for the 24" version.

I would however suggest checking the temp while stressing the card, to make sure it was not returned due to problem with the cooling.
I just received KFA2 GTX 660Ti.
Looks much more better than on pictures, in real - looks ...eer.. distinctive, not like some el-cheapo materials here and there. KFA2 was known as "Galaxy", but God knows why they decided to develop "KFA2" brand instead in Europe.
I'm thinking what to do.. as card has not been put to my PC yet... To sell it, or use it & enjoy ?
OK, maybe I give it a try and see how it goes with benchmarks and BFs, LOL
P.S.
There were no HARIBO :-~

In a good airflow case, with the WF cooler it should be between mid-60s to low 70s...but it should be fine as well as long as it is under 80C.

The B grade DGM 27" sales seems to have been a bit of a lottery. I too had the 'printed at warehouse' message so rang them up to be told 'sorry no stock' despite showing 3 in stock the time of ordering. A complaint email simply got the reply that the product had been 'oversold' - these are monitors, not airline seats!
Oh dear, thats a shame. As I put earlier, mine now says "In our Warehouse Queue" so hopefully it'll ship tomorrow (if they've allocated me one).
Reading other peoples posts they don't even seem to have allocated them in the order in which they were purchased, I assume if I left the order long enough then a B Grade would become available, but I chose my money back. Taking CC payments without having the stock is also a no-no, Naughty!
I've had an email from them now saying no stock. Asked for a refund. It's not worth being £200 out of pocket for months in the hope another B-Grade one becomes available.
Got my DGM B grade last night. Been pussy footing around getting a 27" IPS for a while (especially as I already had a 24Wi Hazro IPS which is still serving well after 4+ yrs) but the price of £200 finally made me take the plunge.
Glad I did as the monitor was still in original packaging on opening and on start up the panel was flawless. Only problems so far have been the stand (functional but as everyone will agree it's pants) and for some reason the OSD seems to be unfunctional (at least I couldn't see any real change when I adjusted the brightness) but I can use the graphics card settings to adjust that
So far so good and slowly getting used to the extra screen real estate
NO haribo though

No, that's still a fair point, I was replying mainly to the comments about items being oversold. I have no idea of the manner or order in which stock is allocated to orders or how they come through to the warehouse team, whether it's a case of stock being allocated to orders as they have other items on them, or just pure chance depending which come out of the printer to be picked first.
I think its pure chance there must be no particular order when it comes to B grade stuff, one person ordered at 8.15 am on the 20th I ordered 5 hours later and got mine a day later they got a "sorry item not in stock" email
