It just covers themselves. Always always turns up in 2 days.

All ordered, thanks for the help everyone.

Edit, why does the delivery say up to 5 working days?

Just a heads up that on first boot on AM5 it can take up to 15mins for anything to show on screen and may reboot a few times this is because the motherboard is training the memory so be patient.

As long as some LED's come on to show its alive.

You may want to get a AM5 CPU contact frame (you can get a unbranded one for less than a tenner) as it fills the gaps in the AM5 CPU IHS and stops any thermal paste going down the sides of the CPU. Many of us use them but you do need to be careful fitting them as you have to remove the stock cpu holder around the socket. It's easy enough to do and is fine if you take your time.

Just got one, cheers.

All built and working fine. I got one of the Zotac 5090's for just under 2k so my upgrade was not 6 months apart. I also got the Antec HCG 1200w PSU as well. Thanks for everyone's help.
