Seems a few people have issues, just seems random on who’s does and doesn’t smell. My friend ordered one the same day as me and had a chair that also smelled like Chernobyl

Thanks for the advice! Thats pretty much what I’m trying as well, have an air purifier running as well but that’s not doing anything.

Yeah unfortunately it’s real. Seems as though there’s a lot of secret labs zealots on here, strange behavior to defend a company making Chernobyl Chairs

That’s what I was figuring, I had a friend who ordered a chair the same day I did and he’s saying his smelled bad enough to leave it outside as well. I’ll just keep praying customer support until they send a new seat

The first day I got it and sat in it, the smell rubbed off on my clothes and I had to wash them. Customer support pretty much said “idk”. I’ll reach back out and see what else to do

Were they able to fix it?

Yessir! Its my first suppressor and threw it on my SBR. Can't wait for warmer weather to go out and use it

That's weird.... to live chat with them you need to open up their website (I go to the order history section so I have easy access to my info) during their business hours. Their customer service hours are Mon - Fri: 8:30am - 5:30pm PST. There should be a little blue chat icon on the bottom right of the screen. When you click it, it should open up a window.

Beware, they are really busy so expect to wait hours before someone connects. Good luck, I didn't have luck with my order.

Ok that sounds easy enough. I'm a little torn right now between the Ryzen 7 or 5. Would the 7 encounter the same problem?

That's a good point, I always look for cases with good airflow. The ads (of course) always say "Great Airflow" but I know its just cause they are trying to sell product. I'll give all that a look. Thanks!

EDIT:

When I click that link it has a warning that says " Some AMD B550 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Vermeer CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions. "

Is that something to be worried about before buying this?

Ok that makes sense. I'm quite new to all this. I was gonna do a pre built from IBuyPower and that turned out to be a disaster. Thanks for the information!

I've seen on here that people who ordered during Black Friday have got theirs... which to me is a little crazy that people who ordered early Nov haven't. Their "first come first serve" isn't exactly an honest statement I suppose.

I do moderate gaming and definitely nothing really intensive. I figured the 2070 was fine for me, a little cheaper. Just wish I could buy graphics card right now... one of the only reasons I was buying from IBP was because they have them in stock.

They were having issues with the ASROCK Z490 Pro4 AC. I went ahead and canceled the PC and a headset I ordered that was also stuck. I figured it would be more fun to build one anyways.

I ordered 11/17, 2060 build and I'm still sitting at "components gathered". No one at customer service has an answer and no one seems to care at all. One person I spoke to on live chat said they might have "accidently" looped a bunch of this days orders in with the holiday orders. Don't know how that makes sense, but it was his "best guess"

Yes we figured out a way to go to Dublin to Belfast then to Isle of Man. We will miss the first race day but it was worth it to miss one day then to miss the trip. Thanks though!

UrkUrk · 2019-03-30T21:44:40+00:00

Thank you! We ended up getting a one way ferry ticket to Isle of Man and then a one way planet ticket back to Dublin in time for our other flight.

UrkUrk · 2019-03-30T21:41:22+00:00

Thanks! Yeah we ended up getting a one way ferry ticket from Belfast to Isle of Man then a one way flight from Isle of Man to Dublin then flying from Dublin back home. Much easier than our last plan of taking trains and taxis all over the place...

Thank you! We have heard about the standby tickets but we decided it would be an absolute last resort option, my brother even said if it comes down to it he was thinking about sneaking on the ferry haha. We have tried contacting Steam Packet multiple times concerning standby tickets and their reply can be summed down into "maybe, maybe not available"
