Meanie it's Black Friday and there's a cost of living crisis

Says someone willing to drop £300 on a CPU.

My 5800X3D cost £150 according to my wife......

Not for OCUK there isn't.
That's pretty much what the price was predicted a few pages ago, prices increase then drop to the new 'BF sale price'

And why were doing it cheaper than anywhere else and with free shipping for all.

 

[michty_me]

Just found it a few quid cheaper elsewhere.
With my voucher I can get it delivered for £290. Tempting!!

Sounds RAM specific, not CPU or motherboard.
Are you sure C14 works on another board? Or is this specifically a RAM query?

Specifically RAM as I don't have another motherboard to test with (and probably CBA anyway even if I did).

I will try what others have suggested and pump it up to 1.48v / 1.49v and then play around from there.

They are biting HARD at £349.99 with FREE shipping, I believe we are the cheapest IN STOCK stockist and it is selling very well.

Get it done, there is no CPU that comes close to the gaming performance at under £500 !

 

[michty_me]

Do it

I expected this answer from you.

Well just saying as it is, for the money there is no better gaming CPU.
You have to spend quite a chunk more by either moving to an AM5 system, big expense or grabbing a 13th gen Intel CPU.

At £409 on launch, given the use I've had out of it, it was still a decent buy for the performance. Just need some decent (XX70 class - not a rebadged XX60 class ) priced (sub £500) GPU's, we'll be on AM6 by the time that happens

 

[michty_me]

Well, guess I'm a 5800X3D owner now...

@Gibbo does it still come with uncharted? can't see any mention of it on the website?

That's reminded me. I actually need to redeem my code

Welcome to the 3D Cache Goodness Club.

Welcome to the 3D Cache Goodness Club.

Thanks, it should last me a good while I would think, I've no intention of going AM5 until possible near its last iteration.
I jumped to AMD when the X570 was released.

 

[GuruJockStrap]

I'll probably be interested when the revised CPU's after the current 7xxx series are released. Hopefully any kinks ironed out and cheaper motherboards and DDR5 RAM.

Plenty of life left in AM4 with this 5800X3D CPU.

Absolutely!
I changed from the legendary 2500k to a R53600 so I'm sure the X3D will last a good long while if needed!

I've also joined the 5800X3D club. Had to make a split second decision on paste and went with NT-H2, Did I choose wisely?

It's what I use with my 5800X3D and NH-D15. Also did my old 3080 Ti with it. Good stuff for the price.
