That is the case for OEM chips. Clearly though OCUK are advertising the pre-builds in my link as being retail, not OEM.

Well there's more markup in pre-builds than a single CPU so I'm not surprised to see stock being diverted to that, sucks for us
Ah, in that case you're right.Blame is all I have, don't take that away from me!! all the parts are sitting here waiting
I wonder after next week, apart from answering CS calls, what these PC companies are going to do. There won't be any GPU's or CPU's that anyone even wants!
What 100pc for the 5800x, isn't that the chip they said they would not be getting for orders because it is too expensive to buy in and they would make £100 loss to fullfill the orders.
I agree because the numbers don't add up.
I've gone from 741 to 700 therefore it must be due to drop outs and not delivery.

Went from 18 to 20 in the 5950X queue... Kinda annoying not knowing why I moved down the queue Would be nice if to be told why... Guess I am still in the top 20, at least...

310 to 296 for a 5900X, I've got another 5900X on order which was supposed to be here by now.
If it does make it before OcUK I'll cancel the order and free up a spot but here's hoping they get the 300 shipment in by the 20th just in case the other order doesn't come through.

233 > 219 on 5950x doesn't match with numbers as advertised...however I'm putting it down to what they actually receive/ship at the C.O.P email sent out on Fridays
So in reality my queue position may be better than that. Either way its trivial in the grand scheme of things keeping my expectations low to be pleasantly surprised... hopefully before year end.
I've been waiting to upgrade my 2600K (yep a blue 2600!) for years and finally squeezed when everyone else did. I'm hoping this one will last me 9years plus to! so really a couple of months isn't going to change much for me.
I brought my DDR4 6 months ago and needed to pull on what seems the last DDR4 support anyway and this was it.
Always used OCUK, (as I could practically walk to their shop) and never had any issues. I'm just glad they're respecting queuing and providing good open and transparent comms, must be a nightmare logistically and I know it will come good in the end.

Yea, pre-builds are terrible value.
I email 4 days ago and called them, been waiting for over an hour for someone to pick up the phone..no luck.
Post in the CS section, they will sort you out.
Yeah seems to be people after the 450 ish mark moved down because after that position, it's where the people who are most likely to have given up will be.
Certainly feels that way, well the other thing is to ask the community?
So, did anyone actually get a CPU this week?
Glad I'm not the only person who saw something strange with the queue numbers. On Friday last week I was in queue position 80 for a 5900X. Today I'm in position 81. It'd be nice if @Gibbo or someone else from OCUK could let us know what happened here and why some of us got bumped more than others.
