You're way too far in to cancel, I would just touch base and get an updated ETA. You're likely 2-3 weeks out from at least a partial fulfillment.


2-3 weeks after your order when i ordered only a week after you?

yeah, i'm gonna cancel.

I mean, his orders probably 10x'd between the two orders so it makes sense

Haven’t been in there, everyone with 3-4 weeks under their belt going nuts again?

I wouldn't risk the charge back period expiring. Give it as long as you can but be safe and smart about it.

I'm sure you'd eventually get it, but who knows when. Another full month? Two?

Ok, so not going to lie: someone just posted an 8/12 order received 9/30 on a 3080fe, and now I'm a little fricking salty

I got in an argument with him the other day. Apparently he "needed his for work" and "only got it because he applied pressure to Goku and Mike."

To which I responded that sets a shitty precedent, but the Discord is full of pansies that said I was being an a-hole. But yes, it's bullshite.

Because yeah, I've applied consistent "pressure" (simply by reaching out once a week or so), but didn't try to trump up some need. Like I said, I've joined the salt parade now

Just got my 3070ti from Bamabenny installed. awesome upgrade over the integrated graphics. It's putting a hell of a buzzing sound through my speakers when it is under any load that I need to figure out, but the performance is more than I could have expected.

Thanks again man for passing it along without a ridiculous markup.

Connected front or rear audio panel?

Rear panel. The motherboard is a Gigabyte Auros X570 Ultra. I'm sure it is interference within the board. I want to use the rear because the built in sound card is actually pretty decent. I bought a cheap inline ground loop isolator that should be here on Monday to see if that fixes it without stripping out the bass also.

I was hoping you were going to say front panel, because they damned near always have interference issues. Rear panel would be a little more concerning for me. Here's to hoping your fix is that easy.

Looking online it sounds more common with my setup, or at least it's not rare. I have the line out running on a split 1/8 to dual 1/4 cables to JBL 308Ps, powered. When mb manufactures try to put high end audio drivers in the boards their is often interference between the lanes. It's just too packed. Since I am using high powered speakers it just exacerbates it.

People typically use adaptors on the power cords to the computer that remove the ground plug, but I want to avoid that if possible. These in line ground lifts ( on the 3.5mm connector) typically mask the issue, so that's what I'm hoping for. We'll see.

If it doesn't work I'll have to use those groundless plugs on the power cables for the computer and speakers. If that doesn't work I'll just burn the house down in a fit of rage.

Sounds like you're vastly more of an audiophile than I am, so pretty much the only input I have left at this point is "damn, that sounds like it sucks; I hope your fix works"
