Components most changed/upgraded are RAM, SSD and GPU. All of them can be upgraded in this Dell. Comes with a 4090 and a 1000W PS. Why change power supply? 5600 DDR5 is bad? Just looking at a $2800 Lenovo Tower 7i with same CPU and they use DDR5 5200. Your unsureness on the cooling doesn't instill confidence you know what you're talking about.

This is a tired conversation. You want to build from scratch, feel free. You think there is better pre-builts, then LINK THEM to them if you truly want to help people.

Are you still able to cancel the 1 year premium warranty for a refund once it's delivered?

You can do that? I definitely don't need "onsite premium help". But wouldn't want to screw up the cash back.

You used to be able to years ago. Not sure if it's still possible or not.

Can you send me the screen shot, I didn't capture it.

Last night Dell showed I should get my system around the 23rd, this morning I got a shipment notification.

Still locked out of the cash back site and they aren't answering support e-mails.
Would you let us know if you have any luck or progress on contact for CB? I'm in same exact boat. Really want it active asap so I can order a SSD

Can you say when you ordered (in EST or PST), when you got confirmation, original delivery date promised, and whether you see any pending cashback with actual dollar amount?)

So I ordered on 05/06 like noon time CST and it was confirmed couple minutes later. It shipped on 05/08 with estimated delivery on 05/09 but it was delivered today on 05/10. I did the 15% cashback but I didn't know about the extra 10% (capped at $50).

So only $10 dollar extra got added to my 15% cashback and a total of $333 is showing right now for me. So if you did the 15% plus 10%($50 cap) you should see around $370 plus pending. I missed out on $40 cashback but such a good deal so I don't really care lol.

Ordered 5/6 at roughly 3pm PST(already had in cart), got shipping notification 6pm PST, estimated delivery Sunday.

CB account still locked. Got a response that they're looking into it however but lots of horror stories when dealing with this Frown

Mine just updated from 5/21 to 5/14 and has shipped. W00t. Deal of the year. For some reason they used FedEx priority overnight service (1030am or earlier delivery) on the package instead of 2-day as paid for. Not complaining *at all* Wink The Samsung 990 Pro With Heatshield (4tb) arrived yesterday, and I just ordered the 64GB ram kit from Amazon Crucial Pro 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR5 5600 (PC5 44800) XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO Ready Desktop Memory Model CP2K32G56C46U5 which will arrive Thursday. Now if I can only find some time to get it all set up! The joys of working 80-hour weeks is that you can buy pretty much anything you want, but don't have time to play with it Wink

Exact same email
It's sad, but I find myself checking my email about my CB account more than I did for my Dell order. I can't/won't start up my new pc without first buying another SSD drive. And I won't buy another SSD drive until I can get this resolved so I can get 15% CB at Western Digital.

Curious about the RAM you listed. It says XMP in the title. I've read that the R16 doesn't support XMP. I'm assuming this kit will run at 5200 without XMP?
