RYZEN 5000 SERIES NOW ONLINE - 5950X, 5900X, 5800X & 5600X COMING NOV 5TH AT 5PM **NO COMPETITORS**

[Jose Elan]

They are allowed to sell custom cards next week.

Manufacturers make more money from custom cards
Retailers make more money from custom cards
Customers pay more for custom cards

It's the same chip in a reference card as a custom card so manufacturers have no reason to use chips for low margin reference cards when they don't have to. They had to make some for launch.

I assume the quote refers to the 5000 series CPU though as that's the thread we are in

On the subject though, I managed to bag a 3080 but now the 6800xt's have been reviewed I have buyer's remorse and want the top 6900XT. Can hardly believe that AMD managed to make up so much ground!

 

[snebbeg]

if the avability wasn't an issue I would have considered upgrading to a higher CPU or all the way to the 5950 but how things are I think I'm happy for now in a queue

 

[ubersonic]

why has this round of hardware been so **** poor for stock?

It's not just a case of stock being poor, it's a case of demand being higher for new computer parts this year than any other year in history due to the pandemic meaning people are spending more time indoors ands have more money to spend.

Example being it's not just the Ryzen CPUs that are sold out everywhere, it's also the Ryzen CPU bundles. People are literally buying up all the bundles with the intent to eBay the motherboard/etc so they can jump the queue on the CPUs, this type of demand is unprecedented.

Gibbo will hopefully take some time out of posting about cars and gardens soon to update customers.

I wouldn't count on it judging from my experience on the rtx3080 forum thread. Its such a shame OCUK used to be the best but man has it gone down hill.

 

[ViRuS2k]

anyone had any updates on the 5950x`s yet when ocuk will be getting more in stock :/
remember when i said i order also from a place simlar to the words wmd lol got the cpu and motherboard bundle 2 in stick showed then i waited 3 days and phoned up asking why its not been shipped yet i though cause they where testing it that they would need more time but when i phoned up they said i wouldnt get shipped until middle of next week so i canceled im sure that website puts this back in stock to get sales but does not actually have the product and one you buy you have to wait for them to get stock before shipping out to you lol
so i canceled hence why im asking if anyone has any progress report on ocuk`s stock as im 79th to get one lol

 

[BUDFORCE]

Nothing so far this week, I'm 42 for 5800x but no shipping confirmation leads me to believe they didn't get anything this week.

 

[Jose Elan]

There's been a very useful update at the other place:

They have some dates where they are going to receive something, though the dates aren't definite and the quantity unknown.

That is comical

 

[ticktricktrack]

Overclockers got dates and numbers from their supplier before and well, here we are. Not sure posting these overoptimistic promises from their suppliers would help us.

LoL i have 2 on order at another place and on here. The other place cant tell me anything at all. No updates, no idea when they will get them.

I suspect we pay for that logistics magic in the high sticker price. No free lunch.

Waiting on my Asus Strix OC 3090, went to change from the intel CPU on original order to Ryzen 5950x, as I'm waiting anyway.

They couldn't just change the CPU (and take extra money off me like they did for the PSU upgrade) they needed me to re-order a CPU as a new purchase because of the way they do their queues.

Took OC over a week to change it and now I cant order the CPU, I could cry.

Shame on them for that, that's not on at all.

Just goes to show pc gaming isnt dieing like we hear know and again, especially when new consoles are released.

 

[Trollu]

Lol good luck getting a new console though :\

Playstation 5 just popped up on a big retailer, in stock and for sale .

 

[snebbeg]

i think i might have had better luck getting the box then a cpu this year

 

[Aquaben]

My distro's arrival date has slipped to 4th December, so doubt we'll see much movement in the next 2 weeks

Plus webcams shortage, home printers shortage (i recommend go straight for colour laser by the way), and the all important bogrolls.

New post got actually updated with some new info, you can check it out https://www.overclockers.co.uk/blog...eliveries-and-stock-of-ryzen-5000-processors/
They've added "Overclockers UK is also expecting a small amount of 5950x by end of the week.".

Reading that update page

"To keep customers updated our product manager “Gibbo” is posting regularly on the Overclockers FORUM"

"5900X – 85pc coming from a non-official distributor and these cost us about £10 more than what we have sold them for. However, we are happy to lose £10 a CPU to get customers their orders ASAP."
Considering they were sold for £30-40 over rrp, losing £10 profit per CPU is hardly a mega sacrifice!
