I think you'll be waiting a long time, probably until next gen. Price is more likely to go up over time based on what we've just seen, not down.

Managed to pre-order one before they closed the pre-orders, thought I would reward Overclockers.co.uk for having the best price and not ripping off customers.
I only managed to get my order through at 2:20 yesterday, I'm having to build a whole new system so was all over the place looking at other components etc. trying to save some pennies (my old 4790k finally went bust). I kind of slipped up though, I also ordered a PSU from OCUK that was on pre-order (live chat said stock should be here next week) but now I sincerely hope this does not cost me my CPU allocation in the event that the PSU takes longer to arrive... Anyone with experience on this?

Yeah, with such a highly in demand product always separate it from main order.

Hopefully I would be one of the lucky ones that got in that batch.
If not just bring out the 9950x already I will just get one of those instead.

Would be funny if I had a few thousand 9800x3d then sell them for £1 each, that would annoy the scalpers and shops haha

Oops i meant the 9950X3D. Also I don't know anything about the mem it needs.That's already available mate you can buy one now.
I do have spare sticks of gskill z5 neo 7800 and Corsair titaniums 7200 but they were for an intel setup using XMP. I don;t have a clue about expo ram needed for a 9800X3d

6000mhz with as tight timings as you can; or potentially 8000mhz but I mean.... who's gonna fork out that money for minimum gains?

6000C30 if cheap (Mdie mem), 6600C28/2200fclk if expensive (see @LtMatt 's tweaking posts).

Mobo?
The novelty always wears off and to be honest gaming at 4K the gpu is likely to be where the money is better spent even if that means a 7800x3d

Mine was dead on 14:00 so I should be wave 1.

This is why I had to return the b650 I bought. Bios just refused to update at all. (Had to try and flash using usb and qflash or whatever it's called, named correctly, double checked. )Remember people to update your BIOS as well for these chips. A lot of people don't seem to like to do this but it is necessary.

Would blink once then nothing every time.
Reordered an x870 MSI board instead in the end. Less faff and comes with stickers... Who doesn't like stickers? Lol.
