That's good to hear hopefully means even though America a diffrent market that the 5900x s 11/05/2020 scan buyers should get our cpus in no more than a month, B& H the American version of scan lol. I bet it pissed you of a bit when amd were restocking their website over the months abd mc had lot of cpus in stock over the months. We have been told small shippment 15th of Feb I'd be surprised if it was more than say 40 cpus, I'm about 380 in the queue going to march a reckon aha haha

I was keeping an eye on all the trackers for stuff and I didn't feel too bad. I always had this ace up my sleeve that would just require some patience (they gave me a solid end of February date a few weeks back). Jumping on a 5950X was tougher than the RTX 3000's because I had way fewer chances. Looking back through the history, there were maybe a couple of stock updates in January compared to nearly daily updates for the Nvidia cards.

Yeah I get what you mean I. Guessing there were more 5950x orders than 5900x across the pound here most people went for the 5900x, well I. Have t got expected date yet amd, kept changing the dates they gave to scan then about 5/6 weeks before the end of the year amd said to many uk tech journalist sites that there would be tones of zen stock by the end of the year no problem in , thrn in Dec two 5900x shipments which totalled about 900 cpus were reallocated from reserved uk retail stock to system builders, It's not the wait for me as much its all bullshit lies and shadyness amd have been doing

Christ I hope it's only BNH taking that long to fill orders on the 5950x

Nope, AMD is literally sending the 5950Xs one by one. I rarely see anyone who has it even on the internet.

Mine shipped today too. Did you get the code for FC6 ?

I did not, AFAIK. I found an article that says,
Until December 31st 2020, anyone who buys an eligible processor from their Ryzen 3000 or new Ryzen 5000 series from a participating retailer will get a free copy of Far Cry 6 . . .
I wonder if I (we?) got screwed because B&H took so long to fulfill it. Maybe there's some way we can ask HR if it doesn't come through? I believe I have screenshots from back then.

Good shit man! I pre-ordered mine November 9th 2020 from MemoryExpress. Received it on the 5th of Feb.
Updated my Bios today to AGESA 1.2.0.0 from the beta one and the PC managed to BSOD 3x with WHEA errors :(

They aren't even through their day before launch.... Holy fuck, I am never going to get mine ordered at 7am launch day. There estimate of April to July is looking like it's gonna skip again.

Damn that's rough, I ordered on launch day over here and got it 3 weeks later. I'm guessing B&H got swamped with orders?

I finally snagged a strix 3090 on newegg today. High five!

lmao I got sick of waiting on a 3080 and made the plunge for a 3090 (Tuf OC!!) a few weeks ago. To quote @SwiftOnSecurity, "I didn't want to pay a scalper for a 3080 so I bought a 3090 at MSRP instead lol."
