100% stable, no issues at all, super quiet, OCuk shipping was flawless. It boots in under 10 seconds, I thought my old i5 system was fast at 30ish seconds.

I see some people are still AMD hesitant, don't be.

I'm using an old 970

Weirdly the only issue I have with the gpu is some artifacting on netflix using a 4k 65cx tv at 120hz.

Are you thinking of getting something else ?

Just noticed you have a 1000 posts so you can now use the member's market of the forum.

Waiting for a 3070 at a normal price, no real rush though unless I find something the 970 can't do or it blows up.

Have you signed up to stock alerts on Twitter? The FE cards have been dropping every week to 10 days recently

do tell more, i have an ageing 1060 i am hoping to replace but paying double msrp for something like a 3070 or even triple msrp for a 3080 is a bitter pill to swallow

5800x is a beast of a CPU had mine since December 2020 couldn't be happier.

Was split between this and the 5900x but seeing some of the overclocking results and the fact I wont use more than 8 cores so glad I picked it.

No worries mate, i used that twitter page to get both my 5900x from OCUK and my 3090 from a competitor

Forgot to say also, if you follow them make sure you hit the bell at the top right of their page and select notification for all tweets then you will get notified as soon as they tweet there is stock somewhere.

Also if your wanting an FE card you will tend to see that other EU countries get stock the same time or a day or so before the UK so once you see those notifications be on high alert
