Not sure why you'd need to unplug things though? My Tomahawk is all in the case, all power cables connected already, so all I'd need to do is plug a pendrive into one of the rear usb ports and press a button, that's all. Or do you mean you'd need to unplug things from your existing system?

Indeed, won't have shipped with a beta bios, but there was a final bios available end of August with AGESA 1.0.8.1. That will POST/boot a 5000 chip. Boards bought in Oct have a good chance of coming with the 1.0.8.1 version.
Wonder if they're limiting IP's to the site at launch. Saw Gibbo mentioned 10,000 people viewing the 3070 page just now, so you can imagine how many people tried in total - I'd imagine if you skipped on known ranges outside of the UK, you'd end up with a much better experience.
Yep, the latter
- Unplugging power from current board and take cables out the back of case.What i'm going to do instead is leave the cables where they are, have a quick cleanup and slot the new board in, flash BIOS then connect the CPU, HSF, Fans (only have 2x CPU and rear fan) RAM, GPU & OS SSD. Front panel im only using power switch and single USB. I'll probably remove the USB cable to front panel port as never use it anyway

What is the likely stock situation for 5950x going to be?
And why is OCUK listing it £50 more expensive than everyone else?

Might be milking it because it’ll be the lower volume item. Will have to see closer to release.
They have been shipping them to reviewers but no idea when the embargo lifts. With Nvidia it was the day before, I think.
No, definitely not.

In fact, the 5800X might even be better for you for gaming since there is just one ccx with all the cache on that, so no thread hopping over the infinity fabric. I imagine when independent benchmarks come out that games that require strong single core performance will fare better on the 5800x. Another benefit of this CPU is it will be similar to the ones on consoles, so future PC games will optimise to 8 core 16 threads rather than 12 or 16 cores.

@Gibbo will you be in a position to give us indications on stock levels pre-launch please? Will orders go straight to pre-order status or will it show in stock? Thanks

does anyone know why if in this forum the price of the 5950X was announced at £750 (look look the original post by @Gibbo) and it was like that for several week, now 1 week before launch it shows up at £800, stock issues, OCUK being greedy? , what is happening? this will take me imediately to alternative websites on launch day even though I prefer OCUK I just can't justify +£50 that is a AAA game only for a good service.
Mug tax.
Soldato
A butterfly flapped it's wings in a secluded part of the Serengeti, which led to a 0.5 knot increase in wind speed in the South China Sea, which inadvertently knocked a seagull off the roof of the container that is currently making it's way to us, loaded with these CPUs. The subsequent burial at sea has led to a small levy on the cost of the CPUs. It didn't help that the exchange rate flickered just as the levy was being decreed.
OcUK have terrible luck when it comes to product launches.
Think its time for an upgrade as they said X370 wont support zen 3
