That's a great price you paid. Congrats.

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

Yeah, they available now.

I can't find them, damn my google-fu!

 

[a.tunnard]

£459 feels like its minus VAT, I can't find anything on sale online.

*****s 10% staff discount , as we are going into lockdown Thursday can't order in store, did a forward order

 

[Too Tall]

Going to guess a 10% discount via a works scheme

 

[Tensorflow]

Over the phone?

 

[Guest2]

How do you do a forward order? I called and spoke to someone yesterday (video chat) and they said they are not avaialble until 5th November. They eithre dont inform their staff or don't know

 

[Shaolin Chicken]

Still undecided about which Zen 3 chip to buy, they all sound good, bring on the reviews!

If you are getting the G Skill kit from that huge competitor via their Global US store then it will take a few weeks to arrive

5 days. I just ordered a set on Sunday. Arriving Thursday. Not technically a competitor since OcUK don't stock G.Skill at all.

I watched a video by buildzoid earlier, he said due to ccx changes that latency for 5900/5950 will be the same/similar to 3000 series due to having to traverse the infinity fabric to the IO die, for that reason the 5800X could be the sweet spot for gaming with its impressive single core performance and the unified 8 core ccx, especially if overclocked. If you are using for anything other than gaming then 5900X/5950X might be better. I think a lot of gamers will go for 5900X blindly just from the spec.

And the fact that the 5800X is priced to close to the 5900X.

What set you buy? I Ordered a new set from G.Skill also, Ripjaws 4266c17 2x16GB (F4-4266C17D-32GVKB). Gonna use with Asus Dark Hero and 5950X If possible to get...

I’m not sure why everyone is buying such fast ram before reviews are out? What if it doesn’t post?

Trident Z 4x8GB 4000c15 with Gigabyte Pro B550. Going to likely be 5950x and 6800xt (not sure can justify the price of the 6900xt) but will use the 16 cores to render.

Good price for performance relative compared to 3600c16 and tbh I don't expect such issue with posting out box and will give plenty to play with timings etc.

Good info there, thanks.

Sweet, I think 1900+ FCLK will work eventually. Let's hope it's a little easier to get a GPU from AMD on release. Sold 2080ti 2 months ago and is sitting on a 290X now after not getting hold of 3080

Good luck on Thursday all.

Are you sure that ram will actually run at that speed with 4 sticks? For instance the X570 Tomahawk is limited to only 3800MHz when you are using 4 sticks at the same time. Generally you can run faster with 2 sticks of ram than with 4.

And the fact that the 5800X is priced to close to the 5900X.

Would the benchmarks / testing even highlight the difference between 8 core unified ccx on the 5800X comparing to 8 core being used accross 2x ccx on the 5900X?
