"At this time we have yet to receive a resolution from Dell Technologies for this inquiry. We apologize for this delay and remain hopeful that this matter will be resolved soon. As soon as a resolution is received we will be sure to let you know. Your continued patience is greatly appreciated."
I still see nothing under "Order Placed" for that shopping trip. Meh.
So far this is rock solid.
Edited to add on 5/20: PC Was running all night, monitor was off, and the moment I tried to turn the monitor on today, the machine was still working fine, and the monitor was immediately recognized. It turns out I had not rebooted the computer after telling the Samsung Magician software to use the performance mode until yesterday. It seems that may have finally done the trick. It's over, Mr. Frodo! Now we just need that cashback.
So far this is rock solid.
Except, I put my 4 TB 990 Pro in the 2nd slot and use that just for games. Keeping the 1TB until I can save for another 4TB for slot 1 as well. Yes, I upgraded the SSD firmware right away. So far temps have been great.
I also switched the 32GB mem out for the 64GB CP2K32G56C46U5 kit as well. As expected, it is running at 5200 as well.
So here is the weird thing, my Time Spy is higher than yours. I get an average of 32224. I am actually considering installing one of the Corsair LCD water coolers to see if temps improve. Do you have the 4090 as well? I also opted for the Intel Core i9-14900KF. It is useful to share our Spy scores so we can get a bench line. System has been rock solid as you have you have experienced. We are R16 brothers :-)

Honestly, I'm not unhappy with my score, I feel like I got an amazing deal even if the CB doesn't pan out.

Oh wow, apparently my computer initiated a support ticket without my even knowing about it. Dell support already emailed me about it with suggestions. They even know about the drive swap!! Adding in a picture. The link to the BIOS they are providing 2.7.0 (a little newer than what we have now) is https://dl.dell.com/FOLDER1148434..

I updated to it without issue.
