Maybe tomorrow?
For what? Relighting the "auto-notify" button? No, I don't think so. If they cannot service the full first tranche today then they are not going to be ready to relight the button tomorrow. Additionally, EVGA will likely give us between 36 and 48 hours warning before turning it back on.

Good luck today everyone! Has anyone gotten an email today?
I'm expecting an email for the 3060 XC3 today or tomorrow. Will definitely report back when I get it :D

Sorry if this has been suggested already, but perhaps evga should consider allowing people to have their queue position swapped into a different queue of the same general class (3080 XC3 to 3080 FTW) so long as it is a lateral move or an upgrade (in price).
For example, there seems no sign of the 3080 XC3 ever moving again. And I personally have doubts that any are in production. While I can see allowing this causing some consternation among those already in the 3080 FTW queue, I'd hope that the vast majority would realize that the folks who signed up for only one queue probably shouldn't be getting hosed because evga will essentially never produce their card (which wasn't a reasonable assumption at launch).
Just an idea. In my case, this would help me resent my nephew less (who received my FTW card because his build was cardless, while figured I could wait a reasonable amount of time for the 3080 XC3). ;P

Some advice needed.
My new rig is coming along. I mounted the Gigabyte X570 MB iinto the case and mounted the Noctua cooler onto the MB. I was starting to plug in cables when I had to call it quits for the evening.
QUESTION:
A friend loaned me a 1050 TI he is no longer using. Installing it in the uppermost slot of the MB puts the upper side card within 1/2" of the cooler. I'm not sure I'd be able to reach under the card from below to release the catch on the slot when it comes time to replace the 1050 TI with an up to date card--assuming I ever get one. Will releasing the 1050 TI be a real problem? It appears that it would require pushing the release from just the bottom with very little clearance to get my finger in.
If it is going to be a problem, how much performance would I lose by installing the 1050 TI card in the next slot below--where, presumably, the release catches will be easier to reach? (I'm not terribly worried about installing the new card in the upper slot because I rarely replace a GPU card before I build a new computer 4 to 5 years later.)
Since some of you on this board seem to change GPU cards frequently, I am confident there are people here with lots of experience in removing GPU cards.

So the 3080 and 3090 HCs are supposed to drop today. If you were in the first tranche from November, get ready to check your in-boxes! Sounds like they won't have enough to service the full first tranche, so the auto-notify button is unlikely to be relit today.
If you are in the first tranche, good luck today! For the rest of us, at least we are seeing some progress on the hydro coppers!
That is good news...where will the announcement about the auto notify cue for the HC series go up?

Thanks for the report from the trenches. I wonder how many of the five were Zotac?
Didn’t think of asking them.
A follow up question, if I may, what is the deal with Zotac? Problematic cards?
Based on my recent experiences at MC, I'm surprised he didn't say they were 100% MSI lol

It's not that Zotac is bad per se, there just seems to be decent reasons why other cards at/near the price point are better. Zotac seems to be bottom in performance and also service. Those are the 2 things I look for in a card/brand, and the reason why I have a KingPin and not a Strix in my machine.

Update: Learned that not all PCI x16 slots are the same on that MB. I'd stick to the top slot for full performance.

I actually haven't done a great deal of research into them. There were a bunch of memes at the 30 series launch that suggested they were on the lower end of the scale, but you'd have to check the reviews. I always was targeting EVGA, so I didn't look too closely at them.
I've had both the zotac and evga lineup here. The zotacs are basically the same as the XC3, the xc3 is almost a reference card, where the zotac trinity is 100% ref pcb. Both work well, both are 3080's, but we know who has the superior warranty.

I had a similar issue with my current build. The space between the graphics cards and the Noctua Cooler is about 1/4". To release the PCI-E latch, I had to insert a wooden dowel down between the graphics card and cooler to push the latch, but that worked fine. I would be careful with a screwdriver or anything metal just to be sure you don't damage the circuit board if you "miss" the latch! ;) Also, check your motherboard manual...some PCI-E slots use more "lanes" than other, and sometimes there is a "priority" for the slot. Ultimately, it shouldn't matter that much which PCI-E slot you use. Good luck! :)

In the past, JacobF tweeted about it and posted in this Notification thread...about 36 to 48 hours (rough estimate) ahead of time.

Agreed. I think a lot of time, people just place it in the top slot due to case constraints, aesthetics, M.2 thermals, etc. It should work just fine there. Same as which pair of RAM slots to put your RAM in. (As in A1 + B1 or A2 + B2, I don't mean A1 + A2 or B1 + B2 of course).
all 16xx slots are not made equally if you look at the back of a motherboard you will see some are only 8x while some have the full 16x

Old one vs new one:  jehoffman1I'm not sure I'd be able to reach under the card from below to release the catch on the slot It is really pain in the butt!  I have no idea how I will remove it... old card without backplate - and it is easy to lift clip using small flat screwdriver. New one with backplate and it makes this trick completely impossible!

Same as which pair of RAM slots to put your RAM in. (As in A1 + B1 or A2 + B2, I don't mean A1 + A2 or B1 + B2 of course). Top slot usually x16, other ones can be x8 or even x4, even if it looks like x16! Always check MB manual.

I was considering suicide this morning. It's not about evga drops. It's more about being a veteran of the Iraq wars. My brothers treating me badly. My wife called one of my younger brothers, and made me listen to him. I don't know why I am sharing this, I guess just to reach out to anyone feeling something like this.
I'm so sorry you're dealing with that. I've been there myself, and I'm glad you've got your wife and brother there to help. I'm sure they really care about you a great deal.

Regarding the gpu not in the top slot:
Check your motherboard manual to see the other slot(s) specs. Even if it's gen3 x8 that's likely ok for the 1050ti.
Or, just try it and see if it's serviceable re expected performance.
The wooden dowel advice is priceless. Well, it can save you the price of a mobo. Anything sharp is a really bad idea (or so I've heard 😉).

Sharing helps, but please consider speaking to a professional!

@nick_shl, snug as a bug there. Do you have any fairly small (but still rigid) hex wrenches? the L shaped ones? might be able to squeeze that in from an angle to press the lever.

Old one vs new one:
jehoffman1I'm not sure I'd be able to reach under the card from below to release the catch on the slot It is really pain in the butt!
I have no idea how I will remove it... old card without backplate - and it is easy to lift clip using small flat screwdriver. New one with backplate and it makes this trick completely impossible!
TheRealMikeVanGrapeCollieAs long as they're both pci x16 I wouldn't expect there to be a loss, it would still use all 16 pci lanes
Agreed. I think a lot of time, people just place it in the top slot due to case constraints, aesthetics, M.2 thermals, etc. It should work just fine there. Same as which pair of RAM slots to put your RAM in. (As in A1 + B1 or A2 + B2, I don't mean A1 + A2 or B1 + B2 of course). Top slot usually x16, other ones can be x8 or even x4, even if it looks like x16! Always check MB manual.
Quite right. I hadn't looked at the manual for that MB. I edited my previous statement. Thank you for the information! :)

Some advice needed.
My new rig is coming along. I mounted the Gigabyte X570 MB iinto the case and mounted the Noctua cooler onto the MB. I was starting to plug in cables when I had to call it quits for the evening.
QUESTION:
A friend loaned me a 1050 TI he is no longer using. Installing it in the uppermost slot of the MB puts the upper side card within 1/2" of the cooler. I'm not sure I'd be able to reach under the card from below to release the catch on the slot when it comes time to replace the 1050 TI with an up to date card--assuming I ever get one. Will releasing the 1050 TI be a real problem? It appears that it would require pushing the release from just the bottom with very little clearance to get my finger in.
If it is going to be a problem, how much performance would I lose by installing the 1050 TI card in the next slot below--where, presumably, the release catches will be easier to reach? (I'm not terribly worried about installing the new card in the upper slot because I rarely replace a GPU card before I build a new computer 4 to 5 years later.)
Since some of you on this board seem to change GPU cards frequently, I am confident there are people here with lots of experience in removing GPU cards.
I had a similar issue with my current build. The space between the graphics cards and the Noctua Cooler is about 1/4". To release the PCI-E latch, I had to insert a wooden dowel down between the graphics card and cooler to push the latch, but that worked fine. I would be careful with a screwdriver or anything metal just to be sure you don't damage the circuit board if you "miss" the latch! ;) Also, check your motherboard manual...some PCI-E slots use more "lanes" than other, and sometimes there is a "priority" for the slot. Ultimately, it shouldn't matter that much which PCI-E slot you use. Good luck! :)

I am so sorry you are dealing with all that crap. Please know that even in this small little part of the Internet, your contributions matter; your posts have added to this community in meaningful ways. Of your most recent posts, this one had me laughing out loud; thank you for posting it: static.quai
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say 'ni' at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
This is a nationwide suicide prevention hotline number: 800-273-8255. Please consider reaching out to them. Best of luck!
