Ah, thanks then. I thought that was the case but I just wanted to check to put my mind at rest.Theres no notes then
They only put notes on if there is an issue

I would avoid the PCS Frostflows on any build personally. The included coolers are better quality, but for any CPU that requires a custom cooler, the frostflow is not sufficient.
Can't comment on the PC cases. I would have expected new ranges to be on the configurator by now.

I would avoid that cooler. It's just a generic cooler. Much better off spending a little bit more and making sure you PC stays cool.
It does seem like there is a case shortage atm, might be worth sending your own one in.
Edit- Beaten by that Damn Spider again

Slightly off topic but going back to earlier in the thread. I see the 5600x is back down to a more reasonable price now. (about a £70 difference over the 3600)
Yeah was just checking it out, both the 5600x and the 3070 seem to be at reasonable prices now, it seems like a good time to get a build if it wasn't for the case shortage.

You can always send a case in. (if its on amazon for example just get amazon to deliver it to them
)

Yeah planning on using it for 1440p system, usual word and excel work, a little programming and gaming, although unsure of an ultrawide or something like the GL830. Yeah I don't think I'm gonna get any of those anti-virus software.

Hi, my PC is in building for the third day there are no notes to say what is happening. Does anyone know if this is normal as I have seen people's machines go into testing pretty fast?
