As a reminder, the KPE HC block launches its queue tomorrow at 10 am PT (the direct link to the auto-notify button is below (it won't work until 10 am PT tomorrow)). It should have pretty limited supply, so you'd best be warming up your F4...er...F5 finger in advance of the chaos (seriously, don't use the F4 key).

 
Just remember, if you're going to use the F4 key, make sure you hold down the "alt" key first.

For the 57 (and 55), the site got slammed.  Probably for many day 1 releases as well, but I feel the majority couldn't make it through until around 9:30.  I think the most sign-ups were probably between 9:28 and 9:37.  I know it really got heavy between 9:28 and 9:33 or so.  And probably stayed pretty heavy until at least 10, but I think this is why it seems to be going "fast" now.  The 57 went really fast the first day, moving about 7 minutes.  It's a lot more about the people than the times, but we don't always see the people count.
 
Regardless, congrats to everyone getting a card today.  I'm going to bow back out with my (possibly vaccine induced) migraine.
 
Also, enewt, I really appreciated the princess bride reference the other day.  I just couldn't stare at the monitor long enough to reply.

People did make it through, but most used the straight link to auto-notify early on.  Most people don't know that trick.  Still, we've looked at the UIDs and have seen that early on the flow in was low.  Around 9:30, it picked back up.  Personally, I was one of those people who didn't know the link trick.  I couldn't get anything to go through til after 9:30.

Additionally, I had absolutely no idea what I was in for regarding purchasing a good GPU when I started putting together a new PC build in early February, and my time stamps are embarrassing for my auto-notifies (02/11/2021 07:20:45 and later for the three 3060 Tis | 3667, 3665, and 3663), and a 03:46:21 time stamp on 02/25/2021 for the 3657. I know I'm in for a long wait from here, even though 2 months seems like forever, it's nothing compared to others on here.
 
At this point, I have a solid tower built (i9 9900K 8-core 3.6GHz, 32GB PC 3600 DDR4, AORUS Z390 Pro WiFi MOBO, Samsung 500 GB NVMe SSD, but [don't laugh....well okay...you can laugh] I am running on a 1GB Radeon (about 8-10 years old)

You can't really talk about time stamps before they announced the queue system at the start of October.
 
No one knew about it, and if they did everyone, including myself, would of queued up on day 1.

vndragonslayer1those are most likely repaired rma ..

Well, given that we are 7 months since launch and the queue has only advanced 4 days, it seems that a LOT of people knew. Nobody had to tell them to click the "auto-notify" button.

Any idea when this may drop again?
