Have Overclockers mention if theyll be getting any sizable shipment anytime soon? I feel like any movement up the que is because people before me gave up

 

[MrPleasant_exe]

What was your position in the queue last week?

bit of a late response but it was 146 i think, cant remember.

They won't be earning anything like 1% on a cash account! Also, they are only holding it for a few weeks, not a whole year. They absolutely aren't making anything like £150k from sitting on pre-order cash.

Also, everyone I have been dealing with has taken money with the pre-order.

Goodmorning guys. I have a question. I was going to buy a 5900x but as I am stressing out because of everything being out of stock for so long, I am grabbing all the things that come in stock so I am closer to my goal. Two days ago, I managed to get a 5950x. I am building my pc to edit videos (mostly at 4K), edit pictures as I’m a content creator. Also I will be streaming and gaming at the same time. I was told 5900x is more than enough which I think so too. Have I done the wrong thing to spend 250 extra on this pointless 5950x?

If you are video editing the 5950x is not a pointless purchase.

It depends a little on what software you're using as not all will benefit from the extra cores.

If it was the wrong thing, you'd not have done it. It's a lot more money for a little extra gain, but it's still an extra gain, so for what you're doing it'll help a little more and so whilst it's less efficient, it's not a 'waste' as such. Depends how important money is for you... hehe

I have just received an email to say that my 5950X is in the process of being shipped!! That means that with any luck I will have it on Tuesday as DPD generally deliver on the day after they receive the goods.

 

[snebbeg]

well this is a shock for me as well as my 5800x and mem shipped as well and I was in the 300s

 

[Tobee]

My order says it is in the process of being shipped! I was queue position 326

 

[snebbeg]

NICE hope it arrives in good time

 

[LenG]

It looks as if a lot of worried people are going to get their Xmas tech fix in time, including me.

I wish you all an enjoyable festive season and offer thanks to the Overclocker staff who have been working over this weekend to make it happen.

 

[snebbeg]

yer the same its finally coming through for ppl OcUK staff have had a hard time with all this and other things in the world GG to them

Looks like some other retailer have just put the 5600x on sale (in stock) for £323 (£280/290 RRP?). Shame as would have purchased at £300. I guess the current issue with air shipping is pushing the costs up. Hopefully with more stock incoming the prices will reduce back down to RRP.

Agreed, £300 really should be the upper limit for the 5600X, but given the price hikes across all AMD CPUs I don't think will see them on the shelves under £300 until the 2nd half of January. Assuming Brexit doesn't brake anything more than its already broken.

This was the second punt to my hopes of a Feb 2021 build. I'd be pleasantly surprised if Brexit didn't shove prices up... /facedesk

Unfortunately I don't think prices will stabilize until supply meets demand. Even then, RRP means recommended and the vendor who thinks he can sell at a higher price will generally do so.

Meanwhile, has anyone been notified by DPD that their 5950 is in transit? Currently they don't even acknowledge the link in my OC invoice acknowledgement. That almost certianly means that wednesday is now the earliest I can hope for and thursday is probably more likely (and less convenient).

If another retailer get the 1246 5600X next week and another 1750 the following week as they are expecting, that should go a long way to meeting demand.

Only if you want a 5600X
