My invoice says I bought at 9:02am. My tracking number email came at 2:30. Many were not so lucky.

Hope I'm equally lucky on my GPU purchase.


All UK stock disappeared in less than 10 minutes with some major retailer sites crashing under the strain. It was no better than the 30x Nvidia series debacle however I also managed to snatch a 5800x and topped the order off later on with 32GB of Trident Z 3600MHz RAM and a 1TB Gen 4 NVMe M2 drive. Just the 6800XT or 6900XT to finish off the build.

In the UK more Ryzen 5000 series CPUs are allegedly arriving at the end of the month, the earliest pre-order dates I've seen are for 27th November.
