Nice one.
One thing I would add that if I was buying one of these CPU's I'd be gaming at 1440P or higher, so if you can do some higher resolution testing would also be great please if you have time.
Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Forza Horizon 5 are good in this regard as they attempt to show max theoretical CPU performance (CPU render and CPU game).

I have a spare one, am sure we can sort it out via the MM if you want. Just happy to get back close to RRP £409.99.

Yes, this often gets missed. I believe the benchmarks I've uploaded earlier in this thread (SOTTR and Forza 4) show this quite nicely.
Will do.Thank you Matt - will take you up on the offer in about 10 days time

@Gibbo are you guys still charging in full upfront or on shipping?
Charge up front: Depends are which payment method you use, but generally yes.
Shipping: Forum members get free shipping if you qualify which I think you should do. Otherwise DPD next day is around £9-10

Are there any benchmarks in MMO's for these, in particular WOW ?

I ordered last night when there were 3 in stock apparently. Not heard anything yet so fingers crossed I get the first batch. The Flightsim performance clinched in for me.
Got mine today and just opened up my PC to install it - on powering up I got a CPU warning on my motherboard - "Oh no! I've gotten a dud!" - put the old CPU back in to get it working again - CPU warning still "Oh no! Dead motherboard!"

Did you update your bios?

Obvious question but have you updated your BIOS?
Yeah - a few days ago - was working fine before with a 5600X in it - now I get the CPU light with both.
I suspect it's a socket issue - had the board a while now.
Knocked a cable powering your motherboard? Bent any pins? Anything fallen in the socket?

Or in my case, forgot to plug the system memory in?
Double check the basics. I somehow managed to forget to plug the system memory in at first and was thinking the CPU was dead.Got mine today and just opened up my PC to install it - on powering up I got a CPU warning on my motherboard - "Oh no! I've gotten a dud!" - put the old CPU back in to get it working again - CPU warning still "Oh no! Dead motherboard!"
I didn't remove anything except the CPU and cooler - no bent pins - the CPU warning light being on for one known working CPU (with that board) and another (presumably) working 5800X3D would seem to indicate my motherboard's had it.
Could be, but if you can be bothered I'd take it all apart and reinstall it.
