Well, I'm back at home and the power DID go out during the competition and my UPS wasn't up to the task   At least I got some WUs in!

 

Congrats to the prize winners!

Update:

 

All the Cooler Master prizes should be delivered by the end of this week, if not already delivered. Please let me know if it does not arrive by Saturday.

 

Corsair and be quiet still have not commented on shipment of their prizes yet, though they do have all of the winners addresses. I will follow up with them Friday if I do not hear back sooner.

Let us know here if anyone else is having issues with huge import duties for these prizes. Please take a picture of the documentation they give you. We're just now becoming aware of this problem so bare with us while we figure out a solution.

So the Good News - seems my prize a be quiet! Pure Loop 2 FX arrived today

 

The bad news, they sent a 280mm unit,

I thought the prize was supposed to be the 360mm cooler?  Based on the link on page one be quiet! PURE LOOP 2 FX

Did "Newegg" - sender per UPS make a mistake?

 

 

Or did the Sponsor need to make a change based on current inventory?

I've not heard anything. Did EVGA send a tracking number? Importing things to the UK is now a PITA and from my experience, they no longer tell you that they have something waiting that needs import duties paid.

[damric]

I only gave Jacob the final list of shipping addresses on last Friday, but I know at least one made it to Canada already. I would expect a little longer for the ones going to Europe. Nope no tracking sorry @Andrew. But I would imagine if there was one, it would say something like "Left shipping facility opposite side of the world from you". We do at least know that Jacob got them processed very quickly and they are shipping. Let us know here if/when you get your stuff so I can make a checklist on my prize spread sheet.

 

@CoolGTX For be quiet! @Avacado might be able to find something about the AIO. I thought it was the 360mm as well, but maybe I was the one who was wrong. 280mm yeah that might not fit a lot of cases besides missing about 20-25% of the fins.

 

As soon as I know more, I'll post here.

I think Newegg made a mistake if that is where it came from. This was the original correspondence from BQ.

So, FYI, BQ is sending you a 360, they said you can keep the 280 as well. Sorry about the mix up.

That is Fantastic & very generous of be quiet!

 

Thank you very much for looking into this & getting a quick answer & resolution.

I was trying hard to resist the temptation to just open & use the 280 on an impromptu test bench setup to test some parts; as I just figured I would need to return the 280.

Has anyone received evga prizes yet? I'm especially interested if you live in Ontario and if the post man is ransoming some sort of import duty.

I haven't seen any delivery attempts made yet on either of my doors, will continue to keep an eye out though.
