Nice, when did you buy your Tomahawk? Mine has just arrived, so I don't know if the bios has already been updated for the 5000 series.
Guess I'll have to flash the bios without knowing before putting everything together.

I just did this on the X570 Tomahawk I got from OCUK using the latest AGESA, obviously can't fully confirm without the CPU yet, but the update seemed to take correctly based on the instructions. I've no idea whether it would have accepted the 5xxx without this (probably dependant on when it was manufactured) but I just thought I'd make sure.
 
Hoping I manage to grab one on the 5th!

Already picked up:
Lian Li Lancool II Mesh
MSI x570 Tomahawk
32GB Crucial Ballistix 4000hz (2x16)
Palit Gaming Pro 3080
NZXT Kraken X63
Superflower Leadex Titanium 850W
Sabrent Rocket PCIE4 2TB
Noctua Chromax fans
 
I cant wait upgrade my 1700X, I have it all built ready to pop in a 5600X and later a big Navi :)

Do they? I don't think it says anything like that in the manual?

It does in the Unify BIOS, page 57, step 1

Updating BIOS with Flash BIOS Button
Before updating:
Please download the latest BIOS file that matches your motherboard model from MSI® website and rename the BIOS file to MSI.ROM. And then, save the MSI.ROM file to the root of USB flash drive.
Important
Only the FAT32 format USB flash drive supports updating BIOS by Flash BIOS Button.
1. Connect power supply to CPU_PWR1 and ATX_PWR1. (No other components are necessary but power supply.)
2. Plug the USB flash drive that contains the MSI.ROM file into the Flash BIOS Port on rear I/O panel.
3. Press the Flash BIOS Button to flash BIOS, and the button LED starts flashing.
4. After the flashing BIOS process is 100% completed, the LED would be off simultaneously.

There's also a nice video here

 
This is a common misunderstanding, there is no "advice" to do it with just the PSU, simply that you can. Remember you are upgrading to a beta UEFI update so what are you going to do afterwards? Remove the thermal paste and unplug everything to do an update to a stable version?

What has Intel got to do with it, we're talking about Ryzen. Honestly, I could understand this fanboi pish if the average poster was 12 years old.

Utter cringe.

No, what’s cringe is that you are scared of a new Ryzen. You said it’s always a risk with day 1 Ryzen.

if you had said it’s always a risk day 1 with a new platform/cpu then I wouldn’t have even replied.

you are entitled to refund products you know, if you’re not happy.

all you are doing is making people think it’s a risk to get involved with AMD.

After speaking to the competition it looks like the numbers for release day are really really low, so I'm going to assume OCUK are going to be worse if the Ampere launch is to go by. I wouldn't expect to get one on launch day! There is a european retailer that has only 13 5950X which is similar to what I heard from the UK competitor. I'd expect price gouging across the board with these numbers.

Unfortunately feels like this is going to be the case for so many products until well into 2021.

Yeah, not at all.

I wonder how it relates to what Gibbo said right at the beginning - that he ordered enough for supply to not be a problem:

"we also expect to have product on the shelf and I have ordered thousands of CPU's so if our demand is met then supply for OcUK customers should not be an issue."

Most of all I'm just bothered by the whole stupid secrecy around it, even if they are only getting a handful of these, let people preorder and sit in a queue, rather than spend all Thursday furiously hitting refresh, killing every website in the process.

@Gibbo has demand been met? I think if you are transparent with us then you will likely avoid backlash similar to Ampere...
