They are loving it but from what I can see it seems like a “paper launch” in most counties

 

[Jigsaah]

Just picked mine up. I bought it as part of a Microcenter bundle. Comes with the CPU, MAG Tomahawk X670E Mobo and 32 GB Gskill Flare X5 6000 Ram. Likely to upgrade today after work.

Question, anybody have any experience with the MAG Tomahawk? I've been seeing some questionable BIOS issues while scouring the forums.

For the rest of you upgrading tomorrow, what are you upgrading from?
I'm on a 10700K at the moment

Upgrading from a Ryzen 7 5800X

 

[CompleteGlobalSaturation]

Its crazy.



There is/was a lot of stock for launch. I think demand is just crazy.

Did you manage to place an order?

I was not able to pre order on any retailer. Amazon still haven't listed the CPU.

 

[Celcius]

My newegg shipping updated and it's actually going to be delivered tomorrow instead of Monday. I was able to cancel my cpu cooler (amazon) and then reorder with faster shipping so that should be here tomorrow too.

 

[Von Hugh]

Why isn't anyone scalping 285K instead?

 

[Turk1993]

Lets go!

Now its your turn Jensen, don't disappoint me!

 

[Marlenus]

Mlid on stream saying, there a lot supply, but next week,

OCUK said they have sold thousands and have over 10k on order with the distributer. Lots are stuck in customs

 

[Smiggs]

I'm sitting in my deer stand and keep getting notifications that Amazon has it in stock... Then it's gone. There's no way I can focus on hunting with this shit going on
Anyone have any luck with Amazon or Newegg today? I ordered from Newegg earlier, but it got canceled shortly after.

I actually think that AMD might surprise us with a solid value proposition on the GPU side... let's see

I think most supply for PC part launches is usually concentrated in the US

I was watching the Moore's Law is Dead livestream yesterday and they said UK should get it in about a week. But supply is hefty, though it is also flying off the shelves.

Yeah we've been starving for a good product launch in pc-land

 

[Deanington]

Hmm, I kind of want to get one now and start putting a build together to pair with a 5090 when that drops. Currently using a 12700k with a 4080 though, which is fine for the moment.

you`re not pairing the fastest gaming cpu in existence with a "good value proposition GPU"....

No argument there

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Was going to bite but rather wait for the 10800x3D which will be a bigger jump over my 7800x3D and compatible with my current setup.

If I didn't already own a 7800x3D I'd get the 9800x3D with the quickness.

 

[BacklashWave534]

Man, i just bought the 14900k after 2 years of savings

14900k is a great CPU. Unfortunately in may be intel's last good product.

 

[Leonidas]

Not to keep piling on, but I'd love to hear Leonidas spin this as anything other a complete ass kicking to Arrow Lake.

Important to note that Steve says he believes that many of the games where there were no or little differences when tested were due to the games being GPU bound

 

[SolidQ]

games being GPU bound

I saw videos, in some games 4090 was 95-99% at 1080, so need waiting for 5090 benchs

Could be, tough he could have easily confirmed that by looking at the GPU usage.
It could also be engine limitation, as some game engines have very poor scaling after certain frame rates.

he didn't go into detail on how he arrived at that conclusion, it's possible that in some games that only care about single threaded perf and doesn't benefit from larger cache size that the 9800x3d will only be like 5% faster than the 7800x3d due to the higher clocks. I guess time will tell but there's a pretty good chance that eventually a bigger gap will show

 

[Jack Videogames]

While it looks good, man, the 5800x3D and especially the 7800x3D were beastly. They're still in the running

I think upgrading every 2 gens is a smart strategy for PC gaming.

Leonidas darling site

You don't need anymore RTX 5090, you have 8060!

We have become second class

If that was true the framerate numbers would be identical and they are not.

They're averages so a CPU hitch on the 1% lows would be what is affecting the average by a small amount.

Is there anywhere you can just backorder pc components? Google failed me.

Ugh, got everything all setup and my mobo (asus crosshair x870e hero) just gives c5 error code and no post. I tried bios flashback to the latest bios, making sure ram was fully seated, one stick at a time, swapping the sticks, different slots, etc… and no dice. I guess I’ve got some returns/exchanges to make.

What mobo and RAM are you guys using? I’m open to options at this point…

I bought the Asrock x870e Taichi. Seemed like a solid choise especially as its without no line sharing. Still choosing ram. Most likely some low latency 6000mhz ram.

 

[JohnnyFootball]

I got my 9800X3D from my local Microcenter and it was a bitch to get up and running. I consolidated my two 1TB M.2s into a 2TB drive and did a fresh install of Windows 11 24H2. When I updated the BIOS on my Asus X670E, it wouldn't see my RAID drives AND it wouldn't even boot into Windows without going to the BIOS first. I had to manually select the drive to boot from in my BIOS.
Thankfully after a few BIOS resets and brute forcing the RAID driver into Windows, everything seems to be running fine. I look forward to actually playing games on it.

I wish I had gotten an Asrock instead of my ASUS. Those Taichi boards are rock solid. Asrocks mid-range boards are also rock solid.

I see they updated their anti-AMD spiel.

Weird it’s like the board didn’t like the new M2 drive? I doubt it had anything to do with the CPU

From S to A tier.

MSI X870-P wifi has been rock solid for me so far. Have a 9700X in it paired with 32GB low latency gskill trident 6400 CL30 (F5-6400J3039G16GX2-TZ5NRW).

Was your RAM on the QVL list for the motherboard (or the motherboard on the QVL list for the RAM)?

The motherboard was on the QVL list for the RAM but the RAM wasn’t on the QVL for the mobo. I was reading about others getting the C5 error so not sure if I just got a bad board.
I shipped back the RAM and the mobo today. This week im planning to order some new ram that IS on the mobo QVL and then I’ll get a brand new board but this time from my local microcenter so that if I have any issues then the store is right there. Hopefully I can be up and running by the end of the week. Today I’m doing more research on mobo/ram combinations…

 

[Lillie]

Celcius your pc didn't run with the 9800x3d?

Nope, I think I got a DOA mobo. Currently sending it back and looking at options before pulling the trigger on the next board and ram this week.

I went with the ASRock X870E Nova - seems to be one of the better boards according to this guy

Are there any good stock alert apps in the UK I can use to try and grab one of these before they sell out in 2 seconds?

all them people gaming on a 720p screens with lowest graphics, otherwise I cannot explain this crazy desire to upgrade a cpu.
