GigaMan must be crazy AF if he even thinks about stepping into this ****show of a thread
If something is going on I would think he doesn't want to damage the relationship between OCUK and Gigabyte by publicly admitting so. He may well make OCUK aware that people suspect foul play though
Hope your family dont have pre-builds else you may not see it lmao
seriously though. At lease once they have it and you know its on the way here you wont have to worry about trusting what oc tell you
Yeah hope it won't go missing
but with all the money saved on rrp I can splash on a tracked courier delivery
Probably mate, I did try and PM him about it rather than on here, but not allowed apparently

you won't see him again.GigaMan must be crazy AF if he even thinks about stepping into this ****show of a thread
People theorise that they are putting cards in prebuilds but don't think I have seen a single person on this forum claiming to have bought a prebuilt with a 30xx card. Would be interested to know the cause of discrepancies though. It seems that any info given by OCUK is being used as ammunition against them. So not really surprising they are trying to be as vague as possible. There may well be reasons for the discrepancies that they simply are not allowed to reveal.

And if you do see GIGA everything will be maybe or i think overclockers might be getting cards soon.
I've been using OCUK for over 10 years mate, I only found out these forums existed when I got a 3080,
People could have brought 100s of pre builds and not be part of this forum pal,
The situation ain't being helped by the fact we know 100% eagles have landed with several competitors, yet ocuk claim to not have even one, and aorus say otherwise
No. 104 on the Gaming Trio queue. Want to take bets on the size of the delivery, as OC don’t seem to be able to count and only provide cryptic clues on how many they have received? I’m guessing it will be somewhere around 103
To add to this yesterday on Discord, which I think is where the last delivery of 21/9 comes from, one of the things mentioned was in the system CS looked it up in combines numbers for retail and build stock, so on that basis if that system shows none, they haven't had any for the the pre-builds either. I guess we can't rule out some big conspiracy where Gibbo is loading them straight from the warehouse into a bright yellow Ferrari van and selling them down the market or something, but as far as customer service can see they seem to have recieved zero/nil/none. Not for the queue or for the prebuilds.
Yes, that is true. I too didnt find out about the forum until the 3080 purchase. I also assume that the kind of person that would buy a prebuild is probably not a hardware enthusiast and just wants an easy way to get a gaming pc.

I think @GIGA-Man is a good guy and has a point, everyone is asking the same question where he does provide answers previously and people can't be bothered to read the previous pages (new members mostly)...He said in his last message that he is on leave for a bit I am confident that he will provide some answers. Problem is what he gives us is half of the story and without the other half from Gibbo frustration and confusion ensues. The fact that the competitors are clearing voulme now compared to OCUK does not seem right. I have always bought GB and from OCUK as soon as this banquet of gash is over...NEVER again.

I was going to say OC's CS will say its 105, but somehow you won't get one and the queue will only move 90. And 115 will get one somehow. Because that seems to be how it always works. (Hopefully IT's new "faster" system fixes those oddities. I suspect before now they were manually printing a list for the warehouse to use, which was creating errors, but now maybe it is automatic?)
Or possibly less than 100, so we all riot, but then it turns out this is only the "large" one and the "small" one arrives Friday/early next week having not combined like we all theorise, making a very large in total eventually, but also making this thread 50 pages longer as we all complain about bad info.

lmao!!
just to keep him on his toes!
I thought France was in total lockdown with everything closed? How are they going to ship it if everything is shut?
LOL you're a bit optimistic aren't you? Gibbo only contacts suppliers once a month and he contacted Inno on Monday. Wait until the end of November, he might have contacted them by then!
