Just leave everything at stock, except enable XMP/D.O.C.P. (more or less same thing but you might find it under either name in the BIOS). There's really little practical reason for messing around with the BIOS CPU settings unless you're running into hardware issues you need to work around which...

Yeah, would also recommend against overclocking unless you're specifically doing it just to get high numbers on a particular benchmark. You're not going to get a much better result than the default boost, and for some workloads will actually get *worse* results, while consuming more power...

Nah, double checked invoice and all emails I got from overclockers, it's not in there. I mean, I didn't get this cpu for the far cry 6 code so I'm not incredibly upset or anything but it is part of the advertised product listing.

Weren’t the rumours that there were only going to be like 200 of these across the UK? At any rate, there doesn’t seem to be much reason for this card existing. It essentially just has more CUs than the 6800XT, so it’s going to be slightly better at 4k and compute and that’s about it... for a 50%...

Hello, I’ve recently received my CPU. This was supposed to come with a code for Far Cry 6 (as also mentioned on the product page: https://www.overclockers.co.uk/amd-ryzen-9-5950x-sixteen-core-4.9ghz-socket-am4-processor-retail-cp-3c9-am.html). I think I’m supposed to get in contact with OcUK...

Doesn't matter too much. They're roughly in the same ballpark. The 6800 is faster if you're not doing any raytracing, but both are pretty solid 1440p cards, with the 3070 you're getting DLSS, RTX Voice and all that - if you care about those a lot, stick with NVidia, otherwise just flip a coin.

So as others have said, if all you’re doing is playing games it’s probably mostly fine. It might struggle a bit with some more CPU bound titles, but most modern games aren’t *that* CPU hungry. That said, that’s my recommendation if you’re going for a budget build. If you’re planning to pair that...

5950X shipped (was queue position 25 last week). Bye all, and may the restocks be with you.

I’d assume that if you didn’t get an update then presumably there just is no confirmed shipment rather than you being left in the dark on purpose.

Was 231 for 5950X, am now 25. Had some hope I'd be in the batch for this week, but I guess the second shipment is a bit late. Still, much smaller number and I should be in the next weeks groups then.

So was there a delay in those as well? I think in your latest update it seemed like you were getting well over 200 units this week still. Or have those arrived already but just haven’t been shipped yet?

Lol what are y'all talking about Gibbo is giving regular updates on shipments they're getting. What do you want him to do, he can't update us more often than the facts change, and repeating the same information over and over won't make the cards arrive any faster either.
