^ best pricing I have seen so far at time of posting. Just a shame I am in the market for a 5950X

 

[OCDStevo]

Cancelled my 5900x order somewhere else, should have arrived 22nd Dec then got delayed with no further date
Ordered a 5800x here Monday, hopefully they'll despatch it this week so I can finally finish the build I started in April

Order has been despatched
Should arrive Monday, drop it into the PC, run it for a week to test then strip it all out and start my first water cooled build

5950x is rarer than a Frenchman's steak.

 

[Badwolfe]

Got sick of waiting for a 5900x to be available so just bought a 5800x today for £400. Picked it up an hour later and installed it Now all I need is a decent GPU

 

[Synodic]

Same, was waiting on a 5900x but the price of the 5800x on OCUK was enough to make me buy it.

 

[Roadrunner_668]

sure it will see you right ! cant pass up good prices

how do you go about "picking up" a CPU given that a trip to a PC store is not "essential" in these Covid times?

Quite a lot of both 'essential' and 'non-essential' retailers have click and collect systems set up, including ocuk.

If you were questioning the shoulds and should nots and whether it should be legal or not etc then there is a whole subforum covering that kind of thing : https://www.overclockers.co.uk/forums/community/covid-19-coronavirus-discussion.181/

Very tempted to give up and go for a 5800x as well

Only gaming so doubt ill really miss the extra 4 cores

Same situation but I don't upgrade my CPU that often so I'm staying strong! And also, I just know the moment I order a 5800x the 5900x will come in stock!

 

[Nitefly]

@Gibbo any news/updates on the 5950x stock? Thanks.

 

[Stu]

I'm still waiting at other place... Can't believe no shipments of 5900x for all Jan.. looks like I'm gonna miss out on the Far Cry 6 code

Yep i know that could happen aswell , but it could easily be 1 more month before we get it going by the FAQ

still waiting on my 5800x ordered on the 12th 'Order received - not yet shipped'

I think they are taking an extra 3-4 business days to ship in stock items atm. I imagine this is due to reduced staff because of COVID.

If competitors can deliver next day I don't see why others can't. Ordered something yesterday evening and arrived at half ten this morning via DPD, even a part I ordered from a catalogue shop, since I had voucher, is arriving at the post office today and that was ordered on Wednesday.

Their staff might be sick?

It is annoying but in the current climate we need to be a little more patient and tolerant I think. Or we'll all wind ourselves up (which is pointless when there is nothing you can do about it).

yeah been waiting so long I’m wondering if the other bits for the build will work, some of which are more time sensitive than others!

Not trying to start a debate but as a customer why should I care about what goes on behind the scenes that's for the business to manage.

Wouldn't be so bad if you had to chase instead of getting courtesy updates on the status.
