AMD 9800X3D ETA OFFICIAL THREAD

[Monkeyboysteve]

Surely it does matter whether it is a preorder rush or a rush when stock comes in? The affect is the same. At least 2PM on Thursday last week was a fixed predictable time which allowed people to be ready, it is better than a non predictable rush when the stock arrives, that would make more people upset.

Exactly, launch was 2pm tuesday. it was a known time so everyone could prepare for it and preorder at that time if able. If people can only buy the second the stock comes in to the warehouse it is unfair to everyone. it could come in 4pm on Wednesday and 90% of people that actually want one would have zero idea it happened so miss out, mostly due to other people that use stock checking bots buying just to sell on Ebay.

Again, cheap or eggspensive?

edit - Saw some decent sub-£200 X870 dealz on Hotdeals last week, some of those should pop up again soon if lucky. Have a search on there.

Expensive is the new cheap for Motherboards these days, I mean when did £240 to £300, become the new mid range.

The cheapest X870 motherboard is the, Gigabyte X870 GAMING WIFI, at £200, and the cheapest X870E is, £290, Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite WIFI7.

Upset?

It's a cpu designed for gaming. It's a luxury purchase.

It'll be here when it's here. I'm excited for my shiny new toy too but stuck in customs is stuck in customs, nothing oc or us can do about it.

As other have pointed out it turning up on the site at a random day and time would have been a terrible idea. At least this way I know I'll be getting one soon. Even is soon is next week or even the week after, it gets here when it gets here.

Only thing I hate about the "cheap" gigabyte and asus x870 motherboards is that depending on what m.2 slots you use it can cut your main pcie slot speed by half. That's just awful design.
Asrock and MSI did it much better on budget and midrange boards.

Hi everyone

I am bit upset with the situation. I think all shops if physically don't have the stock in warehouse they should not put it for sale.

Now people need to wait who know how long ?

I have talked with customer service this morning and they don't know when they get the first batch. The guy said maybe end of the week :/.

If you don't like waiting for it just cancel it but you'll be waiting longer then

 

[gordon86pl]

What I try to say is that pre order should be for the shop to know how many CPU or other product they will need for lunch. Then they should order that amount of CPU and have it in stock on the release day.

I am not blaming ocuk only it is the whole system wrong. Who knows if this is a true story that customs hold it now ? Maybe they just started pre order to make money quicker and get the customers to buy from them ? .
Not saying that what it is but this way of selling make it people think like that.

Will we get information when first wave will be sent?

Only info is in the original post

UPDATE:

Wave 1 Stock: Due next week and sold out around 14:10 - 14:15 if you ordered before 14:15 you should have your CPU next week.
Wave 2 Stock: Due in about two weeks time, sold out around 14:45, if you ordered before 14:45 you should have your CPU this month.
Wave 3 Stock: Due in December, anyone who placed an order after 15:00 don't expect your CPU until December.

We will endeavour to push extremely hard to get stock in as soon as possible, as I say we have 10,000 units on back order, we have now pre sold over 1200 units.
Anyone placing an order now (15:30 onwards on November 7th) do not expect to receive your 9800X3D until December. We are pushing AMD very hard and are keeping them well informed of our pre-order totals.

We have limited sales to 1pc per customer!

lol what?

 

[deltop]

Considering that other stores had an almost literal handful of cpus to send out last week and nowhere is expecting large scale deliveries until mid November at the earliest I have no reason to suspect anything other than honestly from oc here.

Plus oc seems to just about the only large supplier to be selling at msrp. Everywhere else seemed to hike up their prices by anything from £20 to £70.

The simplest explanation (in this case customs delay) is usually the right one, no need to resort to conspiracy theories.

 

[Littlenose]

Mine went through at 14:53 , not sure what to expect tbh

I'm in that same twighlight zone as you

 

[Wdow ciu]

They should count exactly how many 9800x3d will arrive, how many people have bought them and provide the time of the last order for each wave, this will end the mass of posts on the forum.

 

[Littlenose]

TBH, I'm finding the wait quite cathartic.
Modern life with internet and next day delivery means I don't often have to wait and anticipate something... it's strangely quite enjoyable.

Did you get one or not?

To be fair, they were expecting x amount to arrive, but there’s no way they could foresee customs dragging their feet.

You're sick

[MikeB]

Find anywhere else selling it for £449 (including AMD) and you might have an argument

I run a business. This is most likely impractical and a time sink (hence not a good use of time for them) for a whole host of reasons.

Any business in this position with a possible bunch of unknowns and being reliant on external factors, customs, deliveries, isn't going to start putting together lists with hard and fast numbers and informing their customers. If they do and something doesn't go as planned they'll just get bunch of complaints despite putting a lot of time and effort into making lists that then become outdated once a complication arises.

Best to just give rough numbers and a time frame and tell people you'll do your best.

I'm sure once they actually have them in hand this will change and they'll be able to give more detail. But it would be folly in my view to try and give detailed info when they can't guarantee anything until they actually have them.
