    KeRRR, my 8940's status according to the StarTrack website is that it has been sitting in Perth awaiting pick up since 15/12/20.

    How accurate is this information and how likely am I to receive this 8940 before Christmas?

    I live in SA.

    Are you able to expedite matters?

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 21/12/2020 - 10:34

      Unfortunately no, because it's with the courier. But give startrack a call and find out what's going on?

      • Serpeant on 22/12/2020 - 07:26

        That's funny because you are in Perth and that's where some of them are coming from and it takes that long to get to you!

        • Doineedthis on 22/12/2020 - 09:20

          Yeah it seems they have a distribution centre here. It would probably be much faster if they offered pick up option. Fingers crossed Startrack are on the ball :)

  • Associatedbondi @ Dell on 22/12/2020 - 11:27

    • BushwickBill on 22/12/2020 - 11:41

      I got my invoice the day it was delivered. Good luck!

      • Associatedbondi @ Dell on 22/12/2020 - 11:58

        Thank you for answering. Coincidentally the expecting delivery day is today 22 Dec. in Dell ordering window. Though I have no any other information from delivery company up til today, nothing at all.

        • Doineedthis on 22/12/2020 - 12:10

          My order appeared on DBshanker last week then an extra tab appeared yesterday with Startrack tracking number. "Linked domestic information" on the little popup that appears when you search by order number. The tracking number can then be entered on Startrack tracking.

          Edit: Invoice received today

          • Associatedbondi @ Dell on 22/12/2020 - 13:31

            @Doineedthis: Signal is really encouraging. I had done starstruck website research against my consignment no, it shown will be delivered today! If so, what Dell had a prediction date on 22 Dec for delivery, they just have done it!

    I'm tempted to leave a negative e-bay review for Dell if I don't get the 8940 within the specified time.

    I would encourage you all to do the same. Maybe if Dell would listen, they would use a more reliable freighting company.

    Star Track has suggested that their has been a derailment hindering them - fair enough, but how long does it take to fix it? If it is too long, put it on a plane!

    • applebernie on 22/12/2020 - 12:57

      I've sent my complaint to Star track and Dell yesterday but neither of them replies to me yet. I will also give it a negative review if the item arrived after Christmas.

    • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 22/12/2020 - 15:27

      This seems to be more of a startrack issue rather than a Dell issue. Unforeseen circumstances can hinder delays, we just got out of a pandemic. Leaving a review based on a third party company who has stated they have unforeseen circumstances when most users are receiving their products by the specified date seems unfair to Dell itself, which is what the reviews are for imo.

      • joshr1pp3r on 22/12/2020 - 16:27

        Dell can always appeal the negative review on those grounds.

      • Serpeant on 22/12/2020 - 17:20
        +1

        Hi KeRRR, I disagree and am giving Dell a review a negative ebay review based on my negative experience with them. I didn't receive this item by the time promised and I have not received any correspondence from Dell about a delay.

        I ordered this computer a month before X'mas as a gift for my kids. The delivery was meant to be between 11/12 to 21/12. Today is 21/12 and my computer is still said to be in Perth.

        My last order with Dell which was "in stock" was also delayed by six weeks. It's not like this is a once off.

        If Dell want some advice, it would be to use a more reliable freighting company and to offer correspondence should there be a delay.

        I bought the computer from Dell, not from Star Track. It is up to Dell to correspond any issues with me and to make sure I get it by the time promised.

      • Jasperlmk on 22/12/2020 - 20:35
        +2

        I do believe leaving a negative feedback for Dell would help improving the quality of the service StarTrack is providing. At the end of the day StarTrack does not give a damn what we say as we are not their customers in their eyes, Dell in this case is their customer. If StarTrack is giving Dell a bad name, Dell will pressure StarTrack to improve or they will simply look for another freight company. As to most end users, this is one shopping experience, most people thatā€™s got their PC on time will think Dellā€™s shipping time is reliable instead of StartTrack.

        I think a derailment of a freight train during COVID hinders the delivery is unfortunate but completely understandable. But the issue here is as of now the StarTrack tracking status is still saying ā€œ ready for pick upā€ in Perth depot. No one would ever know whats actually happening with the freight if we hadnā€™t reach out, which they could have easily inform us the freight will be delayed especially they already have the tool ready to do so.

    I have received the delivery at 15hrs this afternoon today and exactly the predicted delivery date on my confirmed Dell order. They have done it! Thank you!
    Big applause for Dell and Star Track!

    For those who have not received the PC, have look at your order confirmation and see the date for delivery. Be patient even you don't have any information for delivery.

    • applebernie on 22/12/2020 - 16:21

      Sadly the date was yesterday. May I ask which state you live in please?

      • Jasperlmk on 22/12/2020 - 16:56

        Just got confirmation from StarTrack the PC was on the train when it derailed, they are trying to ā€œrecoverā€ as much freight from the train. Letā€™s hope the pcā€™s are damaged from the derailment. Iā€™m from SA and ETA also was 21/12

        • AssociatedKeRRR @ Dell on 22/12/2020 - 17:20

          I would hope you meant "aren't damaged". Best of luck!

          • Jasperlmk on 22/12/2020 - 18:16

        • Serpeant on 22/12/2020 - 17:23

          The only Perth derailment in the last week that I can find was an empty Transperth PASSENGER train.

          Can you cut n paste what Star Track has said that suggests that it was a freight train?

        • applebernie on 22/12/2020 - 17:53

  • Jasperlmk on 22/12/2020 - 18:09

    Hi,

    That's correct, the freight was on the train when it was derailed which is why there are now extensive delays for freight going to and from Perth.

    Hi

    In relation to the Perth derailment delays, we are currently trying to recover as much freight and deliver it as soon as possible however due to the derailment we are unable to confirm a revised ETA at the current moment.

    Please continue to monitor the tracking online as the tracking will update once this arrives into the delivery depot.

    Then I asked if they will reimburse if the goods were damage which they replied

    Hi,

    We have not been made aware of any damages and if there was any network damage caused to the freight this will be notified to the senders.

    If you have any further enquiries regarding this delivery please contact the senders as they are the account holders.

    Somehow this derailment never made it on the news?

    • joshr1pp3r on 22/12/2020 - 23:24

      A lot of freight derailments that are not near any townships and that don't cause any major injuries aren't reported on really. But there really was a derailment in the nullaboor near Ooldea I believe in South Australia a few days ago although last I've heard the line has reopened.

  • GaAs on 23/12/2020 - 00:04

    Mine was ETA 15/01 and arrived today unannounced so that was a nice Xmas present!

    PC was assembled in and shipped from Malaysia. Contains a SK Hynix PC611 SSD (rated for 3500MB/s read and 2800MB/s write), Seagate ST2000DM008, Crucial RAM. The SSD touched on 65degC during the speed test. Someone else got a WD SN730 (basically WD black SN750 oem) in theirs so the parts seem to be somewhat random.

    CPU stress test started throttling to 4.5GHz after a couple of mins - one core touched on 91deg (20deg ambient) and then remained around 78deg after throttling. Fans started to slowly ramp up in speed once the test was underway, but I'd like them to ramp up more aggressively.

    Just installed the Intel Dynamic Tuning software and the PC did its own BIOS update so will re-test again later.

    • Usernames on 23/12/2020 - 07:31

      Iā€™d be really interested in anything that can keep cpu temps down while gaming, given they regularly get up into the 90s. I keep reading about people replacing the cooler and rear fan. Hoping that wonā€™t be necessary. Perhaps just improved BIOS and/or replacing the fan would be enough?

    • kyle on 23/12/2020 - 19:44

      I have the WD SN730 too.

    • BushwickBill on 23/12/2020 - 21:24

      Seen mixed reviews on the Intel Dynamic Tuning software… Did installing that trigger the BIOS update or was that random Dell Wizardry?

      • GaAs on 25/12/2020 - 11:09

        BIOS update happened during initial Windows setup and reboot. Weird, but seems to be on the latest version.

  • applebernie on 23/12/2020 - 11:15

    I just got an update from StarTrack. The status is changed from "ready for pickup" to "At Delivery Depot". I think we still have a chance to receive it before Christmas.

        I got the Noctua NH U9s and 2x NF 9A as someone posted here from dell forum few days ago. I missed the comment where someone said it needed 4 M3 x 16 screws to be able to fit the cpu cooler so I could only replace the case exhaust fan with the NF 9A today. I played Cyberpunk for a few hours with Ray Tracing enabled DSLL on balanced at 1440p. The highest temp cpu and gpu got to was 84c. Mostly stayed at around 73c -75c While maintaining 60fps the whole time. I will get some screws and try with the Noctua cpu cooler tomorrow.

        I also moved the HDD from the front into the top bracket and left the original bracket out to try to improve the air flow.

    Is there a forum link anywhere?

    Mine has crashed twice waking up from Windows sleep. Says "Looks like Windows didn't load correctly" and do I want to boot or repair. First time I said boot and it went into a boot loop and I had to pull the plug, second time I said boot and it booted ok.

    Maybe I need to check all drivers are up to date.

    But otherwise nice improvement from my tired laptop(s) and goes well with the Mi 34" ultra wide monitor from KMart.

      Make sure you run Windows Update and see if everything has been installed. Best thing to do first with any new Windows installation. Dell Support Assist can also help with updates. It's preinstalled on the machine.

      • oerpbqk on 25/12/2020 - 00:48

        Thanks for suggestions.
        Windows Update is up to date (except for optional drivers).
        Dell Support Assist updated all Dell software except for "Intel Dynamic Tuning driver"
        I installed GeForce Experience and it updated the graphics driver.

        • oerpbqk on 28/12/2020 - 19:17

          Also changed settings so it hibernates after 1 hour and sleeps after 30 mins.

          Have not tried waking it from sleep but no probs waking from hibernation.

          So either that fixed it, or the "Intel Dynamic Tuning driver" or nVidia driver update.

    This should fix it. After a trip to the hardware store in a couple days to get the M3 x 16 screws, it sill go in. Should be great!

      Most likely the cable. If using display port try hdmi instead, unless you need G Sync. Try a different cable.

    • GaAs on 25/12/2020 - 11:12

      That symptom seems to be due to a poor quality HDMI/DP cable that struggles with 4K @ 60Hz or higher. Tried changing it?
