I think there will be LOTS of options in the next few weeks, and even more by March.

What’s happening in March?
Might be seeing better value 5000 series SKUs in the spring?
Intel Comet Lake will be out by then, so AMD will have more products out to face them. Likely 5600, 5700x.
This arrived earlier. Nice and black, no flashing crap. Brilliant
Unfortunately it's gone under the bed for couple of weeks until CPUs and reviews are out for RAM decision
Delivery 2 days ahead of schedule (only paid standard delivery, arrived today)
You have to remove the M.2 heatsink before placing it in the case? Whys that?
Label indicates the heatsink covers a mobo mounting hole.

hows about only putting 1 screw in *whistles* (it's a desktop layout "case" see link in sig
)Not in my current system but one maybe 15 years ago was held in by 2 screws, one on each corner. Worked fine for many yearshows about only putting 1 screw in *whistles* (it's a desktop layout "case" see link in sig
Prices creeping up, was really hoping this wouldnt happen after the Zen 3 launch prices were actually honoured. 5950x now £799.99 here. I'll be going with a competitor this time around, this sort of behaviour just peeves me off. It would be better to not put any prices up at all if they're going to increase in the weeks before launch when no product has actually reached shelves yet.
[EDIT - I see this happened and was noticed a few days ago - I missed it, sorry for reposting old info. I'll leave my post here just to echo my disappointment with others from a few days ago.]

I won’t be using oc for much any more. The way they have increased prices on the 3080 and the yet released 3070 is just a joke. The running joke they keep saying about the pound being weak is just a slap in the face. Their main competitors don’t seem to be as affected but this is either overclockers just wanting to increase margins or just be plain incompetent in how they order stock.

Yep if I do get a 5950X it won’t be from OcuK unless they are competitive on price which seems unlikely.
Sometimes they're very good on price but usually when I build a full system I have to go elsewhere for the majority of my parts. This time I saved hundreds of pounds shopping around on a full build. My PSU however was £135 reduced from £209.99. A bargain

More of the same.. Nice but i want to see game benchmarks
Agreed, real world is where it's at. I'm also interested to see how they compare stick for stock as that is how the majority use their hardware.

I am fighting hard to resist the urge to switch out my 3950X at the moment.
