Is there a stock update of the CPU like the 3000 series GPUs?

I wouldn't wait on a bundle. It will all be OEM unpackaged stuff. OEM stuff can also be internally binned like 8 Pack does.

Probably because they can charge more for the product if they restrict supply, they could quite easily arrange it so this didn't happen, other tech companies manage to perfectly fine. It was exactly the same with past Ryzen CPU's yet they still have no problem selling them again this time around. People tend to forget bad experiences over time and there's just not enough competition in the arena to give consumers an equivalent alternative even if they didn't.

Just got an email saying I'm in queue number 46 for the 5600x, not entirely sure how to interpret this number in terms of time it'll take to be shipped and shipment wave. But turns out mine was a preorder after all. Wish it could be more clearly communicated by OCuk
gibbo has a statement on this , 100pcs coming next week for the 5600x
Thanks. I'll just wait it out for more info on secondary shipments. 100 doesn't sound like a 'very large' shipment.

I'm in the same boat as you, i'm 106 unfortunately, waiting on this and my palit 3070 so hopefully it all arrives together
I ordered a 5900X at roughly 14:45 yesterday and I distinctly remember the button showing pre-order. Though strangely it's showing that my order has been shipped...
Got a tracking number and everything (though the email says it wont show any tracking info until 19:00 the same business day it was generated, which was 00:02 this morning)

My order for the 5900X went in at 2:39pm, so I thought it was super late, but nope - shipped last night. I think the website was so completely broken that very few people actually placed orders until 2:30pm or so when the website finally started loading again.

To anyone who had their order shipped last night and were hoping to get it today; you won't. If you click on the email overclockers sent out, the; 'we'll deliver your overclockers parcel tomorrow' email, you can click on show my options. Go into it and select upgrade delivery. I paid £5.00 to upgrade my delivery to a Saturday delivery. The process was very quick and simple and I even got a text message from OcUK saying that the delivery had been upgraded successfully.
Mine just arrived with mask
Nice 5800x what mobo are you using
MSI X570 Tomahawk
I don't know what was the situation with nvidia 3080 but it looks to me like Overclockers has made it a common business practice to falsely advertise ETAs and availability. I am on the same boat as everyone here with my 5950X. Out of chance I happened to come to the site around 3pm and ended up ordering it immediately. And I was immediately placed in a queue because there was no stock. 2 hours before the official launch, people were already on pre-orders. If they did have stock it was minimal and they are scumbags for releasing it ahead of the official launch.
Yeah, I know, big boys crying for their toys but I NEED THE DAMN THING FOR WORK AND YOUR ARE SCREWING WITH ME!
In any case, I recently ordered an LG monitor from OC also. ETA was advertised to be about a week from the day I placed the order. Guess what, they took the money and on the day of ETA they put the item as pre-order with unknown ETA. I ended up receiving the screen 3 weeks after the promised ETA.
But what is really scammy is the fact that they take your money immediately instead of taking it when they deliver. That way, they can gain interest out of YOUR money while giving you no guarantee on when they will deliver. And if you decide to cancel, so what? They still made interest out of your money while you were waiting like an idiot and you lost out both on money and the item.
For OC, it's tails, they win and heads, you lose. Horrible and unethical business practices. I never had allegiance to any retailer but from now on I am banning OC from my list of suppliers. Enough is enough.
