Holy ****, no one wanted a Ventus? LolMy friend ordered an MSI Ventus from OcUK on the 23rd and recieved it yesterday
What? i order the same card on day 1 at 15.30 and i was told i was 300 ish in the queue. Either your friend lies or OC is bs-ing us.My friend ordered an MSI Ventus from OcUK on the 23rd and recieved it yesterday
So...Where is my Ventus ordered at 15:00 on the 17th? are they now accepting bribes or something?

I wonder if when a customer orders the MSI Ventus at £650, they would then have to wait for a batch of '£650' Ventus's while those who ordered the more expensive batches later will get them as they arrive. I dont see why your friend would get the card sooner than those of us who ordered on the 17th.
That is absolutely bs, Retailers know in advance how many cards they should expect. It isn't random, you place an order for a particular ITEM and they will let you know if they can fulfill it or not, they use a "guide" for that. MAYBE the customer support for marketing doesn't have a clue.

But why? It makes no sense at all?!
Retailers are currently being bombarded with tweets, emails, live chat requests, and phone calls! Which could all be significantly reduced if they were to release information such as: On day X we are getting X amount of cards, you are X in the queue. The next shipment is on X day where we expect to get X cards. Please check our website for further updates and details. But instead, they are releasing very little, thus creating hype and increasing it significantly. Online auction prices for the 3080s were £800 last week, they are £1100 minimum now.
That would remove the need for a queue system or the constant bombardment and influx of questions.
The problem is, all the retailers have employed the same company to produce a queue system. They are all in a queue for the queue system. OCUK are currently 1000 in the queue system for thier queue system to be released and are waiting for an update to update us about our queue positions based on their queue position in the queue system, waiting for their own queue system. Simple.
He's got no reason to lie, I was speccing him a new build and told him to get a 3080, but he'd be in for a long wait.
I'm in the queue for an Eagle so I'm a bit miffed as well.
Ok, that's a big WHAT THE ****.
Are you sure he ordered from OCuk and not some other place? Not that I don't believe you, but if this is true then OverclockersUK is really ******* outside the toilet now.
I can't get my mine at 1900 on my 3600x. I had vengeance rgb and when turneding pc on it would reset bios all the time. Dunno y. So I brought new ram and donated vengeance rgb to my step daughter 3400g pc for Xmas.
Wow, just wow.

Lol does it look like I have time to read through a forum full of people whining over a GPU? Plus my message was a reaction to what someone else said, stop acting like you have 200IQ.

The same old story, "This happened to a friend of a friend of my friend"
Even screenshot can be manipulated, I bet it is just another troll adding gasoline to the fire.
