Estimated delivery was today (6th) in the 3 emails i had from them
It's weird, I also received a "delayed order notification" email at 00:44 last night, but the only item mentioned as being delayed is the Far Cry 6 download (and the item line number matches this, rather than the 5800X). And unlike others here, my email doesn't mention an updated ETA. Order status is still "awaiting picking"...
Same here.....

For a couple of people I know it was about Christmas presents. One of them has a son who put all his savings, plus extra from Nan, towards it. Is Christmas time-sensitive? I suppose not, in the grand scheme of things. Christmas is about being together, not gifts, they tell their moody 14 year old
Edit: Wrong thread really, sorry. CPU no problem, it's a GPU thing. He'll live.

Maybe OCUK should consider consider overclocking their own server!

Same here. Level of incompetence and poor communication by OCUK here is astounding. Learnt nothing from the debacle of 3000 series launch.
At least the team at Bolton are capable of sending update emails by the look of it, rather than leaving people in limbo.
Not exactly technically difficult to achieve a decent preorder/stock management process these days. This reminds me of a Micky mouse ecommerce outfit. They should invest the cash being held from the 3000 series in a competent team.
I suppose CPU's and GPU's are pretty inconsequential in the scope of things. Overclockers seems to have taken nearly half a grand out of my account for it though? Money which can be spent on lots of other things. Should I send them an email to highlight their mistake?..Or you could just grow up and have some patience.
Christ Almighty, what a debasing spectacle its been to witness the sheer level of child like tantrums being thrown over things as inconsequential as CPU's & GPU's in the last 2mths.
If not getting a shiny new toy on day one is all you have to worry about right now, you should be dropping to your knees in gratitude, not crying about it.
... they didn't take it, you gave it to them.
5600x/3070 system now built and almost complete - waiting on an AIO coming either today or tomorrow, but I ended up throwing my old air cooler onto it last night as I wanted to get windows reinstalled and get some games etc downloaded.
So I was after a 5950x as the final component to complete my new system build. Managed to get an order in with both Bolton at 2:10pm now with a delivery date of 30th! and OCUK at 2:18pm with who knows what delivery. So took the advice of someone on here to look for a mobo combo (10 mins ago) and got a 5950x from Bolton (delivered tomorrow) for a £500 premium on the cost of just the processor but will use the MB, Mem and Cooler to build a new PC for my daughter. Will probably keep the OCUK processor on order for that. SO thats one option if people need other parts
No, just cancel your order.
If you, and all the others, haven't got the patience to wait until these things are freely available to purchase, then don't cry about giving OcUK your money up front, you & everyone else knew the score on that point.
Might shift onto ebay with a highly rated account and start offering some expensive electronics. If anyone gives me money expecting a product, more fool them.
What was the score? 5PM? If the score can change, maybe they can just shift me to the front of the queue.
I have just done the same thing! I will use the bundled RAM but sell the cooler and motherboard along with my 3950x. The only thing I am thinking though is, do they actually put this together for you? Looking at the description it says it does, also on the invoice it lists the 5950x as OEM Tray.
I would rather have had all retail parts as I would need the packaging to be able to sell on the motherboard and cooler etc.
Except you can just cancel your order and the money will be returned to you. They haven't stolen it....
Will do - i'll have a good look over them today before buying.. last thing I need is a tight install on my first build! Sorry if off-topic, but is that Thermal Paste any good? Been recomended some of that too now!
Must say, +1 on this - looking back I never had a chance with the 3070 release (which may well still work out OK now I've managed to get the 5600X because the Radeon unit's release is only a couple of weeks away & there's talk they might have benefits when ran together) and I was really concerned about whether I'd get the 5600X yesterday.. ended up going through to payment page 5/6 times, even putting in the 'Verified by Visa' code once, then got the 'bad gateway' page.. finally bought one from OC but got the 'pre-order' tag on the order summary screen and have had response from OC Cust Services now saying 'unconfirmed dispatch' and managed to get one bought elsewhere at 3.15ish.. will definitely get one, might get two - possibly even three of them.. I had absolutely no idea this was how release days were with tech - i gave up queuing for Glastonbury tickets after 3 years of disappointment.. can't see me going through this again!
