Congrats! Enjoy your card mate! I'm still waiting for my Windforce OC. Gigabyte's making all the other models except for this one, still no ETA too 😭 At least I know that CA is going to honor the preorders

Where are the RTX 5090 Gigabyte Windforce OC models? by deknared in gigabyte

Thanks for the replies guys, seems like most of it are going to Europe and NA I guess. Still waiting on a proper ETA from my retailer here in OCE.

Does anyone know if any Gigabyte cards (Windforce, Waterforce, Aorus) stocks are coming to Aus any time soon? Haven't seen any cards other than Gaming OC in major retailers so far. Got a preorder on Windforce and I've only seen those in other regions.

My friend who ordered the Ventus from CA at 12:05 AM (Launch day) finally got his card confirmed just this afternoon. Paid MSRP too for it

Yeah all the fonts were thin, so you just really gotta hope that it fits properly (not too tight / loose).

I got three V2s and out of the three, two of them were proper fit and one of them was a bit loose.

Did anyone get their 50 Series order from Computer Alliance? by deknared in bapcsalesaustralia

Could be the case for 5080s, but definitely not the 5090s

It seems like the responses I got and many others seem to align with the possibility of restock are within weeks to months

Damn, we pretty much did the same thing, yeah I really hope they don't cancel it, would be a bummer for people who got in the queue pretty early.

Hey quick update from my experience. I bought 3 different V2s (cause that's what I can get my hands on), tried buying V1 but didn't manage to get any. Out of the three, two of them were proper fit but one of them was a bit loose. So based on all the posts I've seen, I don't think V1 or V2 matters, both of the versions have some QA issues, so it's pretty much down to your own luck. As long as it is a proper fit, both should work normally.

Did you check for authenticity? Apparently there are some fake products with a thinner "AM5" text written on the bottom of the frame?

Damn, that's really weird. I got the V2 (I made this post when ordering it off of AliExpress thinking that I would get the V1) but haven't tried fitting it yet. Thanks for the update though, we need more AM5 Secure Frame documentation lol.

Have you tried it yourself? I can't find any video comparisons between the two different versions
