I agree give the guys who got charged too early overnight shipment. naughty and ugly practice. I expect this all to be noted in reseller ratings, no?

@ Nilos.

Very nice voltage I see.

LinX stability test with full memory and 5 passes? What temperatures with that test?

First run on a gigabyte UD5 - stock voltages! 4870X2 also stock. Idle temp +-35°C. CPU seems to be 3D stable - more tests to come.

Where did you purchase your D0? I know you did not get it from Tankguys.

I fail to see what the problem is with the credit card being charged? If you were that tight for cash, you shouldn't be worrying about computer parts.

Its not like the span of a few days as they said is going to be any detriment to your credit, and if circumstances arise in how long its going to take to get the shipment of D0's I am sure a full refund will be issued.

So simmer down, and I think we are being a little too picky about this, Tankguys offers a service no other retailer offers and you should give them a little more credit than what has already been shown in this thread.

I'm over it, just venting. I'm not hurting for money but I still don't like to spend it for nothing. I wasn't mad about a few extra days because of the credit card charges but because it seems to me that when a company charges your card they normally have the product. The email they sent out sounded like they were ready to ship so we need to charge your card.

Based on this assumption I ordered memory,MB, and another power supply with expedited shipping and it cost me about another $40 in shipping charges over normal shipping. To me, this money was just thrown away because I can't do anything without the processor.

I don't know what happened but I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. They must have thought the chips were on the way and something beyond their control delayed them.

I'll never pre-order from TankGuys again. I remember last time when they did the Q6600 G0, other online retailers had them before TankGuys and they were cheaper. Not to mention the steppings that TankGuys received on initial shipment sucked horribly! Everyone who ordered from ClubIT got their chips faster and 9/10 were great OCers.

Its simple really... avoid pre-ordering from them. Chances are other more reliable online retailers will have them soon enough and at lesser cost.
