I'll be honest, it's been years and years since I last saw a local computer shop that sold anything close to being up to date. Last time I went into one, I wanted a DVI to HDMI adapter, and they wanted £20 for it! Don't mind paying a bit to support a local shop, but they were taking the michael. Or, perhaps, they only had a limited stock and had added a few quid onto the retail price because they could...At times like this, don't forget about your local PC/component shops if you have one nearby. Whilst they might not have massive stock levels like the biggest on-line retailers, they do often have supplies of newly launched products for a small premium over the cheapest on-line prices. My local shop posted today on facebook that they have limited 5600x stocks, and have posted about the occasional 3080/3090 stock arriving over the past few weeks. With the country in lockdown, many such shops may have placed orders for stock, but can't now open to sell it.
what time did you order it?My 5900x is confirmed and shipped!!!
ANYONE WANNA SWAP FOR AN RTX3080 FE LMFAO!!!!
Have I cocked-up? Placed 5600x order about 10 mins ago, thinking I was in a queue for a 5pm launch. Now suspect they have all sold out and I'm actually in pre-order queue.
Gibbo's special forum stock going live in 10 minutes. F5 at the ready...
What time did you order with bolton?
I'm confused, why are these supposed to be so amazing?
I checked gaming benchmarks and 10700k is still ahead?
So why is anyone even bothering to be obsessively trying to get one, sure at least they are near to it. But it's not the end of the world if you don't get one, just save time and go buy a 10700k.

Because most of us already have a compatible motherboard, ram and so on. And lots of people use their PC’s here for more than just gaming, where these chips really shine.
They don't even have the first wind.I was waiting until 5pm too, it looks like i may have missed the train if people have them already.
Its a little confusing putting 5PM in the title of the forum post if they go live at 2PM. Unless there is a second wind ofcourse.
