Question about V3 - RC-Monster Forums

I placed an order at Tower on Nov.28, Yesterday I got it and it's a V2 !!
That doesn't make sense.

Should I send it in for replacement now or wait until it dies ?

wow, that's kinda disturbing...i might be inclined to send it back after seeing some pics of peoples v2 issues.

i would have thought tower would have been one of the first people to get the v3's.

i'm wondering if it might have been overstock or something they found in the warehouse and they just sent it out.

I would have thought they would be out of the V2's. They had a long lag between stock on there. One would think that when they came back in stock a couple of weeks back, it would have been only V3's.

That's exactly what I thought and why I placed the order.

How do you know it's a V2? The paper in the box explaning that the fan works only when above 150 that came in all of my V3's said V2 on it but the sticker sealing the box closed said V3. Mine are all V3's. I really doubt Tower sent out a V2 at this point when they were out of stock for so long after Castle had stopped building V2's. If it really is a V2 then just update the software & run it, but call Castle & tell them & they will send you a V3 case (which will help save your fan & the components on the bottom of the board).
