Hi guys, new user here.
I placed an order on a Vanquish 5 last night and it's already through to Stage 5 as of an hour ago. Normally I would be thrilled but I'm a little nervous that it's gone through too fast. Is this normal? I assumed the burn-in process in Stage 3 would take longer than a few hours. Here's my build (my only real change was an upgrade to the WD black edition HDD): System Configuration: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Digital Storm VANQUISH 5 Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 6700K 4.0GHz (Codename Skylake) (Unlocked CPU) (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS/GIGABYTE (Intel Z170 Chipset) System Memory: 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Digital Storm Performance Series Power Supply: 750W EVGA/Corsair Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Optical Drive: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) (Internal) Storage Set 1: 1x SSD (240GB Digital Storm Performance Series) Storage Set 2: 1x Storage (1TB Western Digital - Black Edition) Storage Set 3: - No Thanks RAID Config: - No Thanks RAID Card: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Graphics Card(s): 1x GeForce GTX 1070 8GB (ASUS Turbo) (VR Ready) Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio HPC Processor: - No Thanks Extreme Cooling: High Performance Cooler with Large Fan and Copper Pipes HydroLux Tubing Style: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected HydroLux Fluid Color: - Not Applicable, I do not have a custom HydroLux liquid cooling system selected Cable Management: Premium Cable Management (Strategically Routed & Organized for Airflow) Chassis Fans: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Remote Controlled LED Lighting System (Multiple color options and lighting effects) Airflow Control: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks LaserMark: - No Thanks CPU Boost: Standard Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 Automatic Overclocking Graphics Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) OS Boost: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Home (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Factory Reset Feature (Restore Windows + Drivers) (Partition up to 50GB of Storage) Virus Protection: FREE: McAfee AntiVirus Plus (1 Year Service Activation Card) (Not Pre-installed) ($35 Value) Office: - No Thanks Game: - No Thanks Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: - No Thanks Mouse: - No Thanks Branded Gear: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 15-20 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty (3 Year Labor & 1 Year Part Replacement) |

Congrats.
It's possible they had prebuilt units if they were getting caught up with the holiday rush and had already stress tested them, just putting your name to the build. It must be a very common config. It is refreshing to have you concerned of it being built too fast, when it's usually wait time concerns. |

Most video cards including the Asus gtx 1070 Turbo in your build have DisplayPort connections.

Build passed Stage 7 on the 26th first thing in the morning, but no sign of a shipping email. How long does it usually take to get shipped from completion?

Usually the next day, but lots of variables.

Weird. Maybe they shipped it and the tracking code wasn't sent. I sent customer service an email about it so hopefully I'll hear back soon. |

hmm. I've been calling the last couple days and haven't been able to get through at all. If nobody's in the office, I wish they would have a voicemail message or something so I'm not waiting on hold for 10 min before it kicks in. |
