Anyone else with buyer's remorse, I'd be happy to buy.
Living in the north of sydney, can pickup from factory or surrounding area.
Damn that buyers' remorse. All those ozbargainers flooding my inbox! Hahaha
How did they get so many damaged carton units? Were they all on one pallet and it tipped over or something?
Z87M Plus supports Haswell Refresh, if you flash the BIOS using bios flashback:

Three of these have been re-listed as auctions, current bids are around $180 - $200 though.
any buyers' remorse located in Perth? can pay you in beers or cash
Partial buyers remorse in Melbourne.. Pending for it to arrive…. Might not fit the case
Well PM me if you change your mind. (In Melbourne too)
:)
Ditto if it falls through with Maz :)
Does any one know if they are open on the weekend for pickup or what their weekday hrs are?

10 mins left and the eBay relisted ones are sitting at $255-256.
Looking at the offer history 2 people submitted offers higher than the Buy It Now price and they were accepted :D
Someone grabbed 2 cards at $300 each and another picked up one card for $200. Why???
NVM. I just realized that these offers were probably made in error and were cancelled. Would explain where the 3 cards on auction came from.
Has anyone received it yet who ordered with express? What is the damage to the box and do they actually work?
Just wondering what to expect since mine is not even marked as shipped yet
TIA
Doubt anyone received it via post. Likely late next week.
Bought 2 a few days ago for 160 each, marked as posted so should be here early next week :-D
UPDATE : So my one came in early morning, no visible damage to the box at all, it was sealed perfectly. Came in original XFX packaging. Opened the box up to find everything that would come with a brand new purchase, cables, manuals, warranty card and everything looks brand new. As for the card it looks untouched, popped it into my pc, and it works perfectly. All in all, if it hadn't been listed as "carton damaged" I wouldn't be able to tell it apart from a brand new one bought from MSY or PCCG. Also anyone know if we can redeem the AMD games ?
Also anyone know if we can redeem the AMD games ?
Did you get a Radeon Reward coupon with it?
nope, everything but that.
Lucky you :D i still haven't got any postage update but hoping it will come soon :)
Yea, hopefully everyone gets brand new cards.
Where are you located?
Mine arrived today at work (Brisbane CBD).
Box looks brand new with no obvious issues and the card itself does not appear to have any physical damage.
Will install it tonight and report back on how it runs.
Which shipping method did you choose? Auspost or courier?
I selected courier.
Well for all my optimism it looks like I got a dud. Will not post in mine nor my wife's PC.
What power supply do you have?
Thermal take 750 watt so should have plenty of juice.
Edit Resolved the issue turned out a Bios update to my motherboard was all that was needed.
That's great news :)
Thanks, I did too. Was just seeing if one option was slower than the other. Hopefully it arrives today.
Someone is reselling them already.. if anyone want to see the pic! (or spam them!)

P.S. the guy is selling macbook air 11.6 for the profit of $200 too.. :)
what an ass there's so many ppl who missed out :/
Card was delivered today, it looks brand new(still sealed). I imagine the carton damage was for the travel container and this hasn't effected the contents inside much at all. Still awaiting the M/B but now trying to find a decent cpu with good price to best match them both any suggestions?
Thanks OP for this one you rock!
did you guys ebay update with tracking or did it just arrive?
It was marked by them as posted on Friday but no tracking number just arrived.
In & running.
No visible signs of box damage.
Card though doesn't seem right, with the end with the power connectors definitely seems squished together.
No apparent issues though.
Hey,
Just joined the site to say thanks to OP.
Card arrived this morning in perfect condition, all working fine. A little shocked at the size of the thing, just about fit it all in (wink).
Still not received in Newcastle. Will turn up eventually but annoying due to last part for wifes pc build..
I asked them whether the card would come with Radeon rewards token and this was their reply:
Hi We have no idea, however these are factory sealed cartons , so what ever is standard. Apologies for missinbg you earlier , we were swept of our feet with thousands of emails and orders
cheers

THE SALVAGE TEAM
Still waiting for mine in Hobart. Ebay said between tomorrow and Friday, but hopefully it will appear tomorrow.
@akamaka said that a AMD coupon wasn't supplied in the box, thus no free games can be accessed.
However @warier said "If you don't get any game codes, try contacting amd directly and tell them you bought a brand new 280x card but didn't get the game codes. They may email you some. They did that last year I think when some people bought new amd cards but didn't receive any codes."
But Page 1 of the Terms and Conditions shows the current campaign period as running from 21/04/2014 - 31/08/2014.
Mine was only just marked as posted now (3:50pm, Tuesday) on eBay after ordering at 9am on Thursday.
From what I read about the game rewards cards, the authorised retailers are issued with cards and are responsible to give them out when you buy the game. If you buy from a non-authorised retailer, like this, then you get no reward card. I'm sure you can try emailing but I doubt you'll get anywhere.
Same. Bought at the same time as you as well.
Got express shipping so hopefully it will be express.
Express shipping yet to be seen. They only marked mine as posted out today after buying on the day, so no express processing!
I received mine yesterday by courier. The damage to the outer carton is so minimal I wouldn't have thought anything of it if it wasn't mentioned.
Just a small dent on one corner of the box where the Radeon logo is.
The description said carton damage, which generally means the bigger box that multiple products come in. My packaging has no damage at all as I expected.
Mine arrived this morning (9:30) by courier.
You guys are all lucky. Mine was marked as shipped on the first day however after asking them about it today they didn't even ship it and they lost track of my order.
Mine is being shipped today hopefully.. Oh well whats another week..
Anyone else end up with a black edition card?? Mine just arrived and it is. Comes with a factory overclock and slightly better cooling apparently
Yeah, mine did and think most are Black OC Ed cards.
I also got my Asus Z87M-Plus motherboards for new builds for my friends. Currently testing with a 4770K and working as expected. :D
I'm having issues with mine. Have taken it back to Z87M-Plus with a 4690 and a 4GB of DDR3 in it. It sounds fine, but nothing coming up on screen through any of the onboard ports, or by plugging in a graphics card.
Problem is I don't have any other hardware, so I can't really determine if its the mobo or the CPU. Brand new CPU from PCCG though, wouldn't expect that would be the issue.
You have to update the BIOS to get it to work with Haswell Refresh CPU's.
There's a USB port you can load the BIOS on. You need to update to BIOS ver 1105 if you plan on using the 4690 and 4790 processors..
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Z87MPLUS/HelpDesk_Download/
Find the bios, load it on the root of your USB and you'll be golden.
Cheers, got it working. Not used to needing to do stuff like that without it even posting.
Pretty decent cheap upgrade for my bro. the Z87M Plus, i5 4690, 8 gig of 1866 DDR3 and a 120 gig Intel 530 (not on a particularly good sale) for around $540. Reusing existing case, PSU and HDDs.
Will be interested to see how it handles some games with the onboard gfx. Will only be driving a 1680x1050 monitor, so hopefully goes alright.
Yes, that's what we paid for. It's clear in the first picture that it is the black edition along with the model number.
Mine arrived and works perfectly.
Having one problem where when the screens automatically dim after x minutes, Windows will not show up again. The computer is still running and I can turn on music by the media keys, but the cursor and display are not seen.
Apparently this is a common problem with the beta drivers of these cards, so I installed new drivers but haven't tested them yet.
Yeah this happened to me too.. I just turned off the dim to never.
Anyone still interested in buying one in Melbourne?
I bought 1 but they sent 2 by mistake so I ended with an extra graphic card. PM me if you are interested.
Messaged you.
Still available. Pickup from Richmond, VIC 3121
PM'd
Will this play Peggle on ultra?
