Dabadger84Speaking of selling stuff, I gotta get rid of this eVGA Z10 walmart-keyboard-quality garbageo... Gotta ask around & see if anyone needs a keyboard, I'm not charging anywhere near what I paid for it ($72) because it's not freakin' worth that much.  It'd be a fine keyboard if it cost like $40, but for $72 or what the full price was on eVGA's website ($199) - Yikes.

I've been happy with mine but $40 is what I paid for it (current price on Amazon).  Personal reviews seem hit and miss and setting aside silly things like "One star because I wanted full RGB!", it does feel like some people got a lemon or have systems that the software just won't play nice with. 
 
Volume slider is trash but I never use that anyway.  Screen contrast is dark for most colors but the green shows up well enough so that's what I use.  But the key quality feels fine to me, I like having my AIDA64 stats on the screen and the USB hub function works for me (common complaint is that it doesn't for some).

The salt is real this morning. 

People did not have enough salt in their dinner last night, apparently 😂

That would be great knowing the drop size. Or where you are in the queue.... But I look at it this way... At least we have a queue. Still hard to wait though lol

Sorry there are 100s, 1000s of people ahead of you and they only drop 10-100 cards per week.   At least EVGA makes it transparent.


I think that for EVGA to be more transparent is to show the exact number of cards of various SKUs that are dropped for the day. At least we know the quantity for each drop day.



They probably don't share the drop size information for competitive reasons.  Same for why they don't show queue movement because you can then extrapolate.  
 
I can only blame myself for not signing up sooner.  I have been patiently waiting for the hydrocoppers to show up and then gave up late in the game.  At least I got what I needed near term.

Geez...I really don't get some of you folks.  If you don't like the queue system for whatever reason (crazy, or otherwise), then do us all a favor:  Remove yourself from the queue and stop checking the forum.  Go get your card somewhere else and from someone else.  It is really that simple.  
 
I mean, my gosh, coming on here an droning on and on and on about EVGA fanboys and how EVGA is doing this and isn't doing that is just silly.  None of us knows what goes on behind the scenes.  And it doesn't matter.
 
There's a global pandemic that has crippled the entire world to some degree.  There are component shortages everywhere and logistics are stretched to the limit.  Have some patience, for Pete's sake.  At least EVGA has a queue system, and folks are getting cards on a regular basis - not in quantities or at the frequency we might like, but at least it's something.
 
But again, if you hate the process, if you want to punish EVGA, if the current system has failed you, whatever, then just WALK AWAY and take your chances with NewEgg, Best Buy, or F5ing at your favorite retailer.  Please stop with all the negativity and personal attacks on the forum, though.  
 
My thanks to those who come here for information, are willing to share, and do their part to keep things positive and supportive!  That's where the forum really shines!  
 
Regards,

Looking at today's events, I think I am most excited to view the Gamestop - Wall Street Bets congressional hearing.  Should be a real doozy...or I'll be dozing...not clear yet.  I am also contemplating a drinking game centered around how many times the name "deepf&ckingvalue" is delicately navigated by the participants.  The liquid of choice is Diet Dr. Pepper, but I am hopeful that it will offset the snooze fest that is a pre-scripted congressional hearing.  But regardless, it will be more interesting than watching paint dry or cleaning up my small portion of our shared wall.

There must be another reason why EVGA won’t release the number of drops. I can’t see how competition has anything to do with their decision. When there was a drop at Canada Computers of the 3090 FTW3 Ultra earlier this year (yes I’m in Canada), everyone knew the quantity; and for that matter in any retail stores. That’s how my brother got his. And I can’t see any harm in extrapolating ones position in the queue. But it’s their decision and I leave it at that.

I personally look forward to the next Crypto crash :-P 
 
Speaking of selling stuff, I gotta get rid of this eVGA Z10 walmart-keyboard-quality garbageo... Gotta ask around & see if anyone needs a keyboard, I'm not charging anywhere near what I paid for it ($72) because it's not freakin' worth that much.  It'd be a fine keyboard if it cost like $40, but for $72 or what the full price was on eVGA's website ($199) - Yikes.
 
I look forward to folks posting reviews on the Z15 & Z20 to see how much they've improved.
 
So far I'm very happy with the K100.  Not totally sure I'm $200 keyboard happy with it, but I also haven't had a huge amount of time to use it yet, outside of several hours of Cyberpunk & CSGO, which isn't really typing so much as MASHING stuff lol
 
Good luck on the queue today folks, if I can catch the delivery guy my EK Loop stuff will be here today so I'm likely going to spend today/tomorrow assembling & leak testing that.  Haven't been to sleep yet, so probably more likely tomorrow - don't want to make mistakes cuz tubing can't un-cut itself :-P




Supposedly my Z20 will arrive this Friday, and I look forward to putting it through its paces! I will be surprised if the weather here doesn't delay it, though. I even ordered the matching half-price mouse, half-price backpack, and slightly discounted EVGA T-shirt to go with it. Sheesh, I am truly a sucker for sales .... kill me now!!!
