@autumn kindle your mobo might support flash bios

I wish Newegg was more up front about how it wouldn't show up in search, since they old link was just redirecting to the search

Skip B450

@cloud comet How do you know

gusty saffron

b550 and x570 for ryzen 5000

lone oar
#

yes

mental aspen
#

buildzoid recommends the Taichi I believe

chrome umbra
#

They also categorized it a 'Ryzen 5000 Series' instead of putting it under 'AMD Ryzen 9'. I missed it because I opened my tab early and filterd to Ryzen 9

@cloud comet How do you know
@autumn kindle go look at the mobo on the website and read the features

lone oar
thin dagger

should've used a link lol

I'm not on social media, so I didn't see that link.

@cloud comet I have done that and its not conclusive to me

Don't forget, if you are buying Ryzen 5000, and also a B550 motherboard, please do consider a RX 6000 GPU for your next GPU with the inter-compatibility they have.

#

what cpu palaga?
@heady root 5600x

heady root
#

eh you could save a solid amount on mobo

autumn kindle
#

how does the msi b550 compare to the ASUS TUF Gaming B550-PLUS ?

heady root
#

don't buy it just for looks

#

save some money

long basalt
#

Which B550 from MSI?!?

#

There's like 10 of them.

lone oar
#

also mobo rgb is pretty crappy

#

like ram rgb

thin dagger
#

bruh ram rgb looks good

autumn kindle
#

@long basalt to the MSI you just posted

fresh river
#

Wait if my cpu says it’ll ship today does that mean it’ll be there

lone oar
#

thats just my opinion

void ibex
#

what's the difference between tray and box 5900x?

haughty kindle
#

is there any good motherboard without RGB for zen 3 5800x, no OC needed?

lone oar
#

Wait if my cpu says it’ll ship today does that mean it’ll be there
@fresh river no it means it goes out today

#

like on the truck/plane

long basalt
#

Tray: You get only the CPU
Box: You get the CPU and Cooler

lone oar
#

yes

autumn kindle
#

@long basalt the A-PRO

haughty kindle
#

5900x only tray

fresh river
#

Ah aight

long basalt
#

Oh, the A-PRO? The A-PRO is basically the B550 Tomahawk, but without Wi-Fi and some RGB

#

Which, the B550 Tomahawk is a BEAST of a board.

silent sandal
#

Overkill for almost everyone

thin dagger
#

any good recommendation for the 5600x?

#

mobo

silent sandal
#

According to naed and nilboggen

long basalt
#

Do you need Wi-Fi?

fresh river
#

I was planning on getting the tomahawk lol

thin dagger
#

no nedd for wifi

autumn kindle
#

@thin dagger thats what I'm wondering too

gusty saffron
#

asus tuf gaming plus mobo is a good deal

stark laurel
#

Is the 5900x on the AMD website or is it sold out

fresh river
#

Because I don’t have another CPU for a bios update and I like the 2.5 gigabit

gusty saffron
#

sold out Big

im getting a x570 tomahawk

@thin dagger thats what I'm wondering too
@autumn kindle had a huge list but most of them are 200$

mental aspen
#

Bad word usage
I complete agree

long basalt
#

And, Fallen if your entire Ethernet Network isn't 2.5gbit, having a 2.5gbit ethernet controller in your motherboard isn't worth anything.

thin dagger
autumn kindle
#

I have a PCIe wifi adapter already

fresh river
#

I think it is, how do I check again lmao

long basalt
#

It has a Thunderbolt 3 port on it.

thin dagger
#

looks so good

long basalt
#

It will 100% be my next motherboard.

silent sandal
#

I think it looks bad lol

thin dagger
#

but wouldn't spend 250$ on b550

autumn kindle
#

@long basalt Really wanted to stay under $120 on the mobo

long basalt
#

Then get the A-Pro

#

It's only 10 bucks more.

thin dagger
#

@long basalt Really wanted to stay under $120 on the mobo
@autumn kindle won't the b450 tomahawk get the bios?

autumn kindle
#

@long basalt yeah sounds like it. And it can be flash updated correct?

long basalt
#

B450 doesn't get RX 6000 features.

thin dagger
#

oh he got the card?

long basalt
#

If you go RX 6000 you go B550 at the minimum.

#

I don't know. I just know that I will now stop recommending B450 boards in lieu of the RX 6000 launch.

naive pendant
#

Did anyone get an email from Newegg this morning about Ryzen 5000 only there was nothing about the 5000 series in there...

autumn kindle
#

yup looks like it has a flash update button

long basalt
#

You won't need one for B550 boards Dart

#

They should be pre-loaded with Ryzen 5000 capable BIOS

cloud comet
#

if you’re just now buying it, it will ship with 5000 series bios

mental aspen
#

in theory at least

cloud comet
#

it makes no sense on why bestbuy is doing online only for 5900x

gusty saffron
#

what makes no sense is that it's not live yet

dire bluff
#

^

cloud comet
#

that’s true why haven’t they released it yet

gusty saffron
#

i'm praying its in 5 mins

dire bluff
#

what also makes no sense is a few hours ago best buy reps didnt even know if theyd be selling the ryzen 5000 series. atleast the ones i was able to get in contact with

long oriole
#

Pretty common that they won't know a new release

late pine
#

best buy is a huge company

gusty saffron
#

most front end reps are dumb and don't know jack

late pine
#

5000 launch is just not that big a deal for them

narrow sundial
#

I'm so happy I actually got a 5600x

late pine
#

same I'm happy I got a 5900x

silent sandal
#

Shut

late pine
#

but I won't be able to use it for like 2 week

narrow sundial

My luck is truly godly for once in my life

dire bluff
#

i was lucky to get a 5950x 😄

#

congrats to everyone who was able to get their hands on the first round of CPU's

cloud comet
#

it should be important to them

gusty saffron
#

on best buy i mean

modest ice
#

I'm fine with not having a 5900x right now

gusty saffron
#

i know newegg dropped the ball

modest ice
#

I still have no VGA

gusty saffron
#

0 bot protection

long oriole
#

Can't blame newegg too much. they can't sell what they don't have

dire bluff
#

i was able to get the 5950x from new egg o_O

mental aspen
#

can blame newegg for crappy website tho

long oriole
#

Imagine if they oversold. would be much worse.

late pine
#

Newegg's website worked great for me

#

they even texted to confirm purchase

mental aspen
#

More talking about how they didn't show up in search

dire bluff
#

oh yeah that was rough

late pine
#

true

dire bluff
#

i had to actively search it in the search bar like 20 ti mes

#

refreshing wouldnt populate them

late pine
#

I think that was to prevent bots

mental aspen
#

Yeah, would've been useful if they mentioned that somewhere

#

especially since the official link just directed you to the search, before release

late pine
#

if they had mentioned it the bot people would know too

dire bluff
#

and when i first seen the 5950x it went to sold out and i was able to grab one afterwards

long oriole
#

Wonder if scalpers already trying to sell them

gusty saffron
#

they are

#

ebay is lit up

long oriole
#

Man, that's sad.

dire bluff
#

5950x $1450 OBO

late pine
#

smh

vast granite
#

The fact that people were able to order and pre-order from the looks of it is at least promising today

mental aspen
#

Bots aren't magical, if they had mentioned it won't be available in search, that doesn't mean that bots will know where to find the official link.
Plus if they had a simple captcha it would've prevented bots

late pine
#

dissapointed but not surprised

placid gale
#

this is cringe man

#

goddammit

late pine
#

captchas are trivial to defeat, you can buy captcha solving services easily

#

bots aren't magic but a general purpose bot would likely use the search function to find a product

placid gale
#

recaptcha is not that easy

mental aspen
#

Aren't those just real humans solving captchas behind the scenes?

late pine
#

yeah but if everything else clicks instantly it's still faster than human checkout

placid gale
#

yeah probably

long oriole
#

Yep if anything the captcha would make it even slower for real users compared to bots.

late pine
#

^

#

99% of the time as long as you are using a full-fat javascript web browser and a couple fake extentions you can just have a bot click the checkbox and don't even need to do anything else

modest ice
#

Cranky: Therein lies an opportunity.

silent sandal
#

Cranky Templar

dire bluff
#

can u imagine the ppl sitting at their comps for the that CAPTCHA company. theyre sitting there sweating with their fingers at the ready waiting to solve the next challenge with a timer seeing how fast they can do it and if they finish too slow theyre fired

late pine
#

newegg texted me to verify my order and quite frankly I think that's the most they can do

#

there's not much a human can do that a bot can't

silent sandal
#

Mean

placid gale
#

lmao yeah that job would kinda suck

mental aspen
#

Yeah, they even have a breakdown of where their workers are from on the website, like their proud that they're paying these people probably pennies for monotonous work

long oriole
#

Newegg required text confirmation to buy them?

short acorn
#

ok so I have a 2060 ko ultra, and im wondering if it's worth it to get the 5600x over the 3600x for future proofing. I don't plan on upgrading for like 4-5 years, so at that point, I should just upgrade cpu and gpu right

late pine
#

they somehow sent a text through Discover then on the website prompted me to enter a code to verify my purchase

gusty saffron
#

the 5600 is better if you don't plan ot upgrade for 4-5 years

short acorn
#

but i mean at that point it'd just be better to upgrade both

#

because I'm gonna see hardly any performance gain buying the 5600x rn

#

considering it's just being paired with a 2060

gusty saffron
#

found the 5900x amazon link. (no sellers)

#

can someone post it here for me

west iris

What’s taking so long for Best Buy to release the 5900x

long oriole
#

How are you finding those links? lol @gusty saffron

supple monolith

darn :/
missed the 5600x

gusty saffron
#

i'm in lots of discords

long oriole

Can you send me the link?

gusty saffron

let me know if anyone wants to post the link here for me since i can't do it as a newbie

the 5600x is already available for preorder from B&H btw

soo

gusty saffron

BH is doing backorders

for all of their stock

devout raft

How long will the backorders really take though?

missed the 5600x
@supple monolith they had stock on it for a solid 30mins

it's extremely likely the yare backed up

@short acorn all skews have been since last night

Wow the 5600x doesn't get far cry with if

Wish they were still doing Valhalla 😦

cloud comet
#

newegg had 5600x for $50 less

vast granite
#

What?

cloud comet
#

so use that saved $50 and buy yourself fc6

gusty saffron
#

what you mean?

#

newegg had it for 299

#

which is msrp

how long does it take to restcok?

autumn kindle
#

@gusty saffron yeah i bought it on newegg and it was 299 + tax

stuck patio
#

restock*

gusty saffron
#

it feels like months.

cloud comet
#

oh i thought they were all $50 up from 3000

gusty saffron
#

but usually 1-2weeks per restock

#

based on nvidia 30xx

#

and it's not a lot of stock...

stuck patio
#

ok

cloud comet
#

it said like promotional price and both 5800x and 5900x had a $50 up charge from last gen so i assumed same with 5600x

Hopefully covid ends sooner than later so we can go back to normal release windows

devout raft
#

man, what is with these product launches? I cant seem to buy a single thing when it comes to GPU and CPU.

gusty saffron
#

botters

#

and low stock

#

i'ts a terrible combination

#

oh look, i'm no longer a rookie

silent sandal
#

I got the b&h preorder super early, so hopefully I’ll get it in the next wave of stock or the wave after

cloud comet
#

i got it an hour before release so i was really late

#

It's the pandemic causing a shortage of work overseas which is leading to a lower supply + all the botters looking to scalp during a low supply run

yea me 2 ordered at 1203 just checked my cart n back order RiP

#

A good group of us got it last night before that guy tweeted about it

Here in Canada, it seems like there's basically 0 stock anywhere, along with no places to put in backorders. Oof haha

sadly i had to work til 2am last night

so i didn't get much sleep before waking up to not get my 5900x.

hope 6800xt goes better but counting on it

gusty saffron
#

don't count on it lol

It’ll be worse

might have to drive super far to a micro center n wait

tough wyvern
#

It will be bad. There is a lot on crazed hype on the AMD side right now and people are pissed at Nvidia

alpine hawk
#

or turn criminal and buy 1 for 1300 with my criminal money lol

tough wyvern
#

Yeah, I got mine in at 28 past.

#

I assume I am somewhere around 1000 to 10,000 in line.

silent sandal
#

I’m still looking for a 3080

tough wyvern

But that's likely only to be a few months wait, so, whatever.

As long as I get my new PC before BG3 is "finished" I am happy.

Was hoping I wasn't going to have to play Valhalla on medium, but guess that's what I'll have to do.

#

I wish i had a microcenter close to me 😦

tough wyvern
#

I super don't care about most of the other "AAA" high profile games coming out to be honest lol

gusty saffron
#

closest one is like 8 hours away

silent sandal
#

You see your first mistake was wanting to play Valhalla

long oriole
#

Why is that a mistake

zinc jackal
#

I've been hoping to get one because my pc is old, and dotnet compiles and Cubase renders take forever TT

tough wyvern
#

I am just so exhausted by the AC series.

silent sandal
#

Cause Ubisoft is trash, and any AC game after Syndicate isn’t worthy of the name Assassins Creed

long oriole
#

But if I find them fun then why is it a mistake?

tough wyvern
#

It's not. he was making a joke dude.

#

don't take every so seriously.

silent sandal
#

Kind of

tough wyvern
#

it's exhausting.

silent sandal
#

They’re trash, but yeah it was mostly a joke

gusty saffron
#

Eh, AC has been over done at this point. like CoD

#

but if you still enjoy it, don't let anyone stop you

silent sandal
#

I’m really just interested in games like Witcher 3 and Dark Souls 3

tough wyvern
#

Only games with a 3 in them.

long oriole
#

Idk after Witcher 2 I think the series was just overdone

silent sandal
#

Someone’s salty

tough wyvern
#

I've owned Witcher 3 for like, two years and have never installed it.

#

I guess I'll play it someday?

long oriole
#

Not salty, just my opinion

silent sandal
#

Witcher 3 is one of the best games of all time

#

So I’d definitely recommend playing it

long oriole
#

Too mainstream.

gusty saffron
#

me too Pani

tough wyvern
#

Ok, now that is just a wild comment about anything.

In fact, i attempted to play Witcher 1, but holy hell the controls on keyboard mouse are so awful!

thx

tough wyvern
#

I have 100% seen people who -do- make that argument though.

#

Hate anything that is not a tiny indie game they got on humble

silent sandal
#

My other favourite game is is Hollow Knight

tough wyvern
#

just, as a rule.

#

I'll be honest. all i really want is a PS5 and Stray. Cyberpunk game where you play as a cat? I cannot say yes harder.

gusty saffron
#

never heard of stray

tough wyvern
#

It was announced with the PS5 reveal event. It'll be PC as well.

silent sandal
#

I just want Silksong

#

Spit it out son

long oriole
#

For real though, AC has been overdone a lot and I haven't played many since like.. AC3. but Odyssey was no joke really fun. It isn't just a copy-paste AC game in my eyes.

tough wyvern
#

I also stopped at AC3.

silent sandal
#

Black flag and 2 are my favourite

tough wyvern
#

It was just the same gameplay loop as the last 4 games but felt like it lost all of it's charm.

#

Honestly it was all kinda downhill after Jade Raymond left ubi

silent sandal
#

Brotherhood, revelations, 3, and pretty much all after black flag were fairly copy paste

long oriole
#

Best buy 5000 series right now

silent sandal

But at least some had good story areas

Starting to show up

back to waiting on B&H shrug

never heard such words

I heard it from a ton of people

Never believed it

funny how the 5600x stomps and throws around the 10900k in csgo

silent sandal

But a lot of people said that

rugged sierra

5600x is in stock at the micro center in Brooklyn

tbf the 5600x lasted 30mins

tough wyvern

I will never understand how CS is still a relevant thing.

that’s insanely good

i was literally on the webpage for the 5900x refreshing and nothing

So launch thoughts.... was it the launch to trounce Nvidia y'all were hoping for?

bro i've gotten to payment info TWICE now and it says sold out

cloud comet
#

launch was ass

#

except for the 5600x

green terrace
#

Haha. No company is immune

silent sandal
#

5600x lasted like 10 minutes on newegg, I’m pretty sure Amazon released it later

lofty socket

I just hope increased stock means gen 3 prices lower a tad more

That's actually pretty good

i saw it still in stock 30mins later on new egg

nope

Yep

@lofty socket They've already started lowering some prices

yeah newegg for 5600 lasted quite some time

look at the time in the top left

8:30

lofty socket
#

@green terrace nice

silent sandal
#

Then a glitch

tough wyvern
#

3600 is down to 190 on newegg

lofty socket
#

oh i see they slashed the 3600 to 190 yeah

cloud comet
#

it wasn’t, it let me type in payment

silent sandal
#

Or possibly they had separate stuff for the app, cause at 8:00 the app didn’t load

tough wyvern
#

I ordered one of those for the time being. I can't have my new PC sitting in a closet for months without being able to actually test the hdds and motherboard.

cloud comet
#

could be

gusty saffron
#

well... gg.. i'm back off to bed.

lofty socket
#

I see b450 boards are also getting significant discounts rn

rugged sierra
#

do we know the mobos that will work with zen 3

silent sandal
#

So once the app stabilised, you could find stock

gusty saffron
#

400 and 500 chipsets

rugged sierra
#

do you need a bios update for the 500 chipsets

silent sandal
#

How so

cloud comet
#

yes

#

also 400 won’t be supported till january

rugged sierra
#

well that i expected

cloud comet
#

with 500 you will have to bios update

#

and if you plan on getting a 6000 card make sure you’re on the 500 platform

rugged sierra
#

okay but will there be a new chip set or no

#

wait nvm

cloud comet
#

zen4 will be a new chipset

rugged sierra
#

yeah that is what i though

cloud comet
#

which is on track for 2022

#

it’ll also be using tsmc 5nm processing

Best buy made me do a verification code before I could go to checkout lmao.

hmm the asrock b450 steel legend is 20 dollars off rn

Does amazon have a backorder option?

for the 5900

almost never.

@long oriole did you get one?

long oriole
#

Nope

tough wyvern
#

on anything

cloud comet

It kind of stated that once you were in checkout it would be "reserved" but i doubt that was true

tough wyvern
#

I think B&H was/is the only one doing actual backorders.

Takeaway from benchmarks - I feel just fine with my recently bought 9700k. Power usage on the 5950x looks great though

cloud comet
#

I think B&H was/is the only one doing actual backorders.
@tough wyvern as far as i’ve seen theyre the only ones

green terrace
#

Still not necessarily faster than i9 10900k - depends on the test

help me decide, asrock steel legend or asus rog strix b450-f

for what cpu

#

3700x

devout raft

It kind of stated that once you were in checkout it would be "reserved" but i doubt that was true
@long oriole It was not true. I had a 5900 in my cart then it sold out immediately and was removed from cart.

spring condor

Same happened for me, although for the 5800x

long oriole
#

Yeah same, I got to payment twice then it was removed. @devout raft

I didnt disable honey when I went in so my fault for having an extra process or two trigger before I could hit buy.

#

u had a chance

long oriole
#

Best buy sold out within 3 mins what you mean

lofty socket
#

oh the r7 3800x is currently 50 dollars off on amazon rn

late pine
#

how long was 5900x on bestbuy

gusty saffron
#

best buy sold out in minutes

late pine
#

just curious

gusty saffron
#

the 5900x never went yellow for me

#

but someone here was able to get it

late pine
#

I got 5900x from newegg

#

so I can confirm they had some

devout raft
#

i have one in cart RN

topaz reef
#

bb didnt drop them all at once but released them every few minutes btw

late pine
#

interesting

devout raft
#

but it says shipping wont work and no stores within 150miles of houston can do pickup.

tough wyvern
#

that's what I had here too

long oriole
#

Ship it to me I'll send it to you. 😉

devout raft
#

lol

lofty socket
#

I'm waiting til my local computer store opens so i can call and ask if they're getting any shipment today

gusty saffron
#

most likely not

tough wyvern
#

I'm kind of annoyed now, but trying to remember this will all work out fine in the end.... I'll end up with a 3600 because of this, and then I'll have like, three working computers total, so that'll be fun.

gusty saffron
#

pretty sure only major etailers got them

topaz reef
#

amazon has them on preorder with delivery by end of month

lofty socket
#

They were able to get their hands on a couple 3070s so I'm praying

silent sandal
#

Lol if a local store got any, they’d get like 1 3600x

stark laurel
#

Has anybody gotten a time for their B&H shipping?

lofty socket
#

yeah they were only allocated 3 3070s when they got their shipment

stark laurel
#

5900x

devout raft
#

"backordered"

tough wyvern
#

I don't think B&H knows.

late pine
#

b&h has been live since last night

silent sandal
#

Has anyone even gotten anything besides backordered from b&h?

late pine
#

if you ordered this morning you are probably super late on the queue

tough wyvern
#

They'll know how many they started with, but not how many they'll get in future shipments

#

Or when

#

Unless AMD tells them "You will get X many per week/month"

late pine
#

I know for sites like ShopBLT they show their warehouse data publically and they know for a fact how many they have on order and approxiamte arrival date

#

for 30 series gpu anyway

tough wyvern
#

Yeah, I think any of us who ordered before it was tweeted are ok-ish

#

Q1 2021 at least.

silent sandal
#

I mean some of us here were pretty early, so I guess that means you had to be way early to get it from b&h, unless everyone is seeing backordered even the first people

late pine
#

I was about 20 minutes after b&h posted

#

still got backorder

#

I think people on stock tracker sites got it first

long oriole
#

Anyone need amazon links?

tough wyvern
#

I mean, if they have 5900s....

stark laurel
#

If Igor

#

For*

#

Best Buy sold out of 5900s in less than 5 seconds

silent sandal
#

I’m kinda hoping that everyone on b&h got backorders, and b&h just hasn’t processed the orders yet

hollow kraken
#

the 3950x is overpriced

devout raft
#

@late pine amazon links for 5600? 5800? 5900?

stark laurel
#

This is the 3000 series all over again bruh

silent sandal
#

I mean if you need the extra cores, it’s good

late pine
#

I don't have them

#

I purchased from newegg

#

but they are probably sold out for the day

silent sandal
#

For the next few weeks

late pine
#

no idea for the next few weeks

#

but def for today

tough wyvern
#

So right now I just want AMD to make a public statement in the new couple days about inventory.

#

Just like, tell us about how many units they're making per month

#

some idea would be nice.

stark laurel
#

Yeah

silent sandal
#

Just be honest so we don’t hate you as much as nvidia

tough wyvern
#

Sony tells us how many Playstations they're making and shipping, not like it's unheard of

devout raft
#

Im building myself and my wife a PC and am just waiting on CPU and GPU for both and some water cooling components to come in. Getting really tired of these delays.

lofty socket
#

do any 16gb ram kits come with dummy sticks for rgb other than the aorus rgb set from gigabyte?

silent sandal
#

Lol I’m building my little sis a pc and she’s just getting a 3600 and a 5700xt

stark laurel
#

That’s not even bad

tough wyvern
#

That's better then what I have right now.

silent sandal
#

Yeah it’ll be a powerful little thing, especially for her first gaming pc

stark laurel
#

My first pc build was planned to be a 3600x and 3070. I swear overtime you keep adding cost to it. I’m now at a 5900x and 6800XT

tough wyvern
#

happens. I wanted to stay under 2k and am at like 3.5 now.

#

Now really sure how that happened.

#

Wait, no, i am. nevermind.

stark laurel
#

I wanted to stay under 1.25 k now I’m at 1.9k

silent sandal
#

Lol yeah I went from 2k to 3k

tough wyvern
#

lots of storage, better MB then I first picked.

stark laurel
#

You tell yourself you can afford to add $30 but you tell yourself that 50 times

tough wyvern
#

That's why I am not getting a 5950 though. I'll just keep that extra $250...

spring condor
#

Been waiting to upgrade my old i7 4650 and gtx980 for awhile..
My thought was to go to a 5800x w/x570 board, 32Gb RAM (3200) and rtx3080. Okay build?

silent sandal
#

Yeah if you don’t need the extra cores, don’t bother with a 5950x

tough wyvern
#

I mean, I do, actually.

#

I would 100% use them.

stark laurel
#

I’ll only get a 5950X if I get so pissed off that I don’t care about cost

tough wyvern
#

But I don't need them enough right now and would rather keep the cost down a bit more.

stark laurel
#

What kinds of processes need 16 cores? Video editing maybe?

tough wyvern
#

video editing and rendering.

silent sandal
#

Yep

tough wyvern
#

I also do Unreal Engine development, and it will suck up as much as you give it.

silent sandal
#

I do some of that which is why I’m doing a 5900x

tough wyvern
#

The more anything the better.

silent sandal
#

I do unity

tough wyvern
#

Yeah, this whole build has balooooooned

#

so much for <2k.

silent sandal
#

Wow that mobo and ram is insane

tacit hemlock
#

Is 3600mhz ram the sweet spot for zen 3 too?

stark laurel
#

They said 4000 but 4000 is pricey

tough wyvern
#

So the early reporting goes. Not sure if there is new news now that the embargo has lifted. But 3600 is the best performance per $

#

you'd see effects up to 4000, then it would go off a cliff.

tacit hemlock
#

alr

stark laurel
#

RAM prices grow exponentially fast when you go up in speed

tough wyvern
#

yeah, and I needed a LOT of ram.

viral nebula
#

went to a brick n mortar and 5900X is on backorder 6 weeks

#

still ordered

stark laurel
#

6 weeks isn’t terrible

tough wyvern
#

lol

#

Well, that's not that bad

#

If that's all B&H is I'll be content.

long oriole
#

looks like they're dropping 5800 on best buy currently? slowly.

viral nebula
#

5950X is backorder 3-4 weeks, but it's $400 more expensive in Canada...

stark laurel
#

Damn

tough wyvern
#

that's in maple dollars though.

viral nebula
#

yea

stark laurel
#

Thing is that extra $100 for the 5900x is so worth it

viral nebula
#

yep

tough wyvern
#

Yeah, 5800 seems a bad value honestly

stark laurel
#

It is

tough wyvern
#

5600 is good, 5900 is good

stark laurel
#

5950 is for psychos

tough wyvern
#

5950 is for people who work 😛

#

or rather, do intensive work on their PC

#

It's bad for a gaming CPU

viral nebula
#

5900 is still good for work

tough wyvern
#

It's great for game dev or video editing, or even just, any adobe anything.

viral nebula
#

I'm gonna try my hand at game dev and still went for 5900... the price difference is too much

long oriole
#

I plan to fully utilize it for OSRS.

pliant jackal
#

i am really regretting not preordering last night lol

stark laurel
#

My dad’s company has a system that employees can use to help them get computers with company money. You have no clue how much people are spending on their PCs

tough wyvern
#

Yes do.

#

The PC I would actually want is about $15,000

stark laurel
#

That’s what everybody wants

silent sandal
#

The pc I want is the one I’m getting

tough wyvern
#

Yeah, but there is "want" and "would use"

stark laurel
#

True

tough wyvern
#

I could actually make use of that. But the one I am getting is good enough, so I am happy none the less.

topaz reef
#

15K for a workstation is a bit much

stark laurel
#

Dual threadrippers

silent sandal
#

Dual 64 core

tough wyvern
#

well, lots of storage. 256gb ram, etc

silent sandal
#

Yes

tough wyvern
#

a couple 3090s would be nice too
