<<<<< IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING R9 290X BF4 PRE-ORDERS / DEPOSITS!! >>>>>

[Gibbo]

Any idea on if the MSI is hynix or still waiting on stock to check? As I said I'm planning on watercooling so the warranty issue of removing the stock cooler is a concern.

Wont know until we take delivery which could be anytime today.

Yes, I promised this on BF4 cards, officially no, but we made a promise. After today it shall be removed.

Awesome, thanks Gibbo!

Is that regardless of when the preorder was placed(I preordered on 13th)? If yes then it maybe worth me keeping my preorder even tho I'm not that into bf.

Basically everyone who has Pre-Order on order today for these cards will get one.

If you do not happen to get one (and you have ordered before today), please post your order number in the Customer Service forum, and I will make sure you get one.

Asus - Hynix
Sapphire - Hynix
HIS - Elpida
Gigabyte - Elpida
MSI - Unknow (Stock arrives today)

I went with HIS before seeing this post, then changed to Sapphire thankfully.

When I say the first batch is done, I mean it is up-to-date so far, still some emails coming in slowly now, but I have completed the wave of orders that came through early this morning.

The second batch of people will likely receive an email before 9am this morning.

It's after 9am and I haven 't received the email, am I even going to be getting one as I didn't preorder till the 13th?

If you got a preorder in you should have a card allocated, you just might not be able to pick the one you want later on today im guessing?

Because of the amount of orders, the second batch email will be sent around 10am! - We still have plenty left, however some models are running low.

I'm after the sapphire or MSI(as long as its hynix), gibbo has confirmed the warranty isn't an issue with the MSI card if removing the stock cooler if bought through you but what about the sapphire?
