Ordered 5950x - 14:11 on OCUK, order status: Order received - not yet shipped, really disappointed with OCUK today... I'm waiting for my GPU to get my new PC built, I have all of the other parts besides GPU and CPU, I was hoping I could get CPU and use my old graphics card and now I have to wait another month... I heard some websites had 5950x in stock till 14:40 and people who bought it are getting it shipped tomorrow, but I trusted OCUK which looks like was a mistake...

RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**
- Thread starter Gibbo
- Start date
Since my other thread has been locked (Not sure why) but just to give an update to everyone. I ordered 2x 5600x one for me and one for my partner from a competitor at 15:00ish (happy to share screenshots) both have been shipped and there was A LOT better communication with live chat option with status updates on the account from being ordered --> processed --> shipped. With next day delivery/local pickup at a reasonable price with some freebies!
On OCUK ordered one just in case at 14 ish after site crashing and what not with fast pa***l checkout and still nothing. I have cancelled my order from OCUK so if there is a queue people can have a chance instead of me scalping it.
Having said that I am really disappointed how a so called biggest retailer in the UK charges extortionate shipping fees and gouch prices and yet still fail to deliver.
The 3080 was a disaster for everyone fair enough but what happened to VERY LARGE STOCK for zen3? as well as wrong advertised timings for the launch.
I think it was only because of pressure from customers and forums that they bothered to make a queue system otherwise they wouldn't have even bothered. This retailer Overclockers/Overcharges looks like it doesn't care for customers at all and certainly revisit their business practices.
I have kept my post factual and I hope someone in OCUK takes this criticism constructively rather than locking threads and banning people!

Nice!So....my 5900X order , which went in at 2:39pm.....just shipped?? I thought I'd be waiting weeks, but nope, literally just got a tracking number with DPD. Very very happy
Kinda wish I hadn't given up on ocuk so quickly. Got to about 2:02 and I abandoned ship cos the site was lagging too much
Cheers once again! I think i'll go for the DRP4 - is there a particular case you think might fit this unit easier?
Why didn't I think of this! I just did some quick googling and found my motherboard with a 5900x! Wahooo, cancelling my pre-order! Thank goodness for that. I'll get the rest of the parts from OCUK though.
edit: Thankyou for this!

Dam they've got some stonking deals tbh. £660 for a 5900x and board in stock.
yeah, i wanted the prime pro but there was 1 in stock with a 5900x and it sold out while i was doing my research on them, so went with the x570-f as don't need the -e features really.

Any 5950X people with a face mask get dispatch yet?
I've already got a motherboard or I'd cancel my order and get one of those deals.

AIO or DRP4 for a 5900X? NH-D15 is a non-starter...

EK AIO for rgb or Arctic liquid freezer if you’re not fussed.
i got my 3080 after 6 weeks, hoping for sooner than that also ignore the typo in the quote, i meant i asked to cancel 5800x and they cancelled the 5900x.
Same for me, I got an order in even earlier at 14:09, although I chose saturday delivery incase they didn't have time to ship it out today. Hopefully that means they will hold one and send it tomorrow as believe they ship sat deliveries on a friday?
I went online at 2pm had to refresh about 20 times and then enter my payment details about 5 times until my order finally went through took about 20 minutes on OCUK
Received an email at 6pm to say my order has been shipped for the 5900X

£90 more, half of which you can recoup when you sell it in 3-4 years. No-brainer imo, even for a pleb like myself just gaming.

Zero RGB in my upcoming build! I've kept an eye on the Arctic 280mm following GN's review. I am paranoid about AIOs leaking onto my GPU, but I'm probably overthinking it.
