5950x from BB.com, ship to house was not an option when I clicked FAST, only pickup at store. Says next Friday 13th for pickup @ BB store.

Yeah, that makes sense. I went all in on the board because I was aiming for a 5900x and I thought it would be a really good pairing. With the overpricing of the 5800x (my opinion) my frugal self (lol) is telling my other self that I could have bought an under $300 dollar board to match with the CPU. Everything would be peachy if I was able to get the 5900x but can't really complain right now. I have a working Wintel PC and this is more of an enthusiast upgrade to try the new goodies that are out.If your motherboard is performing well and you need the features of the Aorus Master then just keep it. Downgrading means that you have to mess with return policies and you can't be sure everything will work out with a new setup.
Frankly I'm happy with the performance of my Aorus Master so I'll be keeping it. The nice thing about this motherboard is that I have the capability to upgrade to a top of the line EOL product such as the 5000 series without worrying if the VRMs, features, etc. will be up to snuff for a drop in upgrade.
My plan is to go from 3700X->5900X and if i hadn't "overbought" my motherboard last year, I probably would not be going to a Ryzen 9 5000 cpu.
Who knows you might be very happy with the 5800X performance for a couple of years, and then down the road if you decide to pick up a 5950x when their price drops you can always plug in the high end CPU with no worries.
The only reason I would see for you to downgrade the motherboard at this point is if you can put the price difference into a different upgrade, for example do you need to purchase another 32GB of RAM for your case usage or is there a 1TB SSD that you've been eyeing but held off on to afford the Aorus Master.
Now I'm just waiting on B&H's stock for these new 5000 CPUs. Congrats on getting yours first!
Wow that's a problem a lot of us wish we had. You have two 5000 series CPUs and I have a grand total of 0 right now. LOLForgot to cancel my Amazon 5950X order after my Best Buy 5900X shipped. The Amazon 5950X wasn’t even supposed to be fulfilled until November 14-17.
But I just got notification that the 5950X shipped as well. Now I’m back to debating between the two chips after initially settling on a 5900X.
Tell me about it. I went from the night before and all day when it got released without any luck. Have been holding on reinstalling my messed up OS so i don't have to do it all over with the 5950x but it's a struggle for sure. Oh well :/Wow that's a problem a lot of us wish we had. You have two 5000 series CPUs and I have a grand total of 0 right now. LOL
Definitely a problem I wish I had, wanted the 5900x but will end up with the 5800x. I was forced to spend my tech stipend from work today or lose it... Sorry AMD work has a tested list and I went with a 10850k and corresponding mb. So I have 2 pc's to upgrade next week.Wow that's a problem a lot of us wish we had.

Asus tuf x570 should be a nice board under $180.Anyone have a recommendation for a board to pair with a 5600X - I don't need anything fancy, just solid vrm and components.
could you tell me what voltage you are using and what the cinebench r20 all core score is?well, I have my 5600x at 4.7 all cores rock solid stable. Honestly almost can't tell a difference from my 3600 @ 4.4 in games ~ 1440p, so it is what it is. Looking forward to pairing it with a 6800 xt when they launch for the real bump. single core ipc is definitely up, went from 539 cpuz to 652 cpuz. Did some low settings competitive fps game tests at 1080p and this thing absolutely stomps in those scenarios. Too bad I only have a 144hz, so I can't see the difference, but the frametimes are insane so mousing around feels a tick faster.
tried 4.8ghz but it seems to crash out of benchmarks, so I'll have to play with voltage and see if i can do some per ccx testing to get a little more out of it.
Anyone that preordered from B&H Photo have their order shipped?
My contact there didnt even give me a weeks ETA..zero info :/Pretty sure their CS reps were telling people here that they weren't even expecting stock for a couple of weeks.
so for 4.7 all core at 1.35vcore that droops to 1.3438 under r20 load I get 4806.could you tell me what voltage you are using and what the cinebench r20 all core score is?
Yes, no eta and i had a pre-order for the 9900k before with them and took so long that i found it somewhere else :/I pre-ordered my 5900x through B&H about two hours before launch. After launch my order is listed as backordered. I contacted B&H to see what kind of timeframe the order would be fulfilled in, but they gave me some line about the item being a new item that is not yet in stock, so they cannot give me an estimate. Anyone else get this too?
That doesn't sound good...Yes, no eta and i had a pre-order for the 9900k before with them and took so long that i found it somewhere else :/
I got the same line out of them, i doubt they got any stock at all. Imo they only took orders to place an order.... hope we get them before christmas.... man i was so happy that i didnt have to deal with amazon scalepers, but seems BH pull a fast one on us.I pre-ordered my 5900x through B&H about two hours before launch.

Friggin Amazon. So they take my order and PROMISE me, I mean promise that I will get the chip on Thursday the 12th. Hard commitment. So what do they do? Well ship it the next day of course so I got it on Saturday. Did they really think delivery 5 days early is acceptable?
I'm sorry I was trying to be sarcastic BTW anyone with a Zen 3 should watch the GN video on memory. # and type of memory can make a pretty big difference in performance. TLwanttoW summary 2x8 single row seems to degrade performance. They are still investigating the mechanismIf Amazon doesn't deliver on the day they promise and you have Prime, complain to them and get a $10 credit to your account. I do this every time-- comes out to maybe 1-2 times per month.
Lol, yes. I have to be honest I also appreciated the way they package it they sent it in a stealth padded envelope and not in a box that someone could figure out the contents.Lol that is Amazon. If you select faster delivery it can come earlier then expected. If you want it certain day you can select Amazon day which will deliver it on certain day. But I am sure you were being sarcastic? Lol.
so you are saying I should upgrade from 2x16gb to 4x16gb? Damn, alright.I'm sorry I was trying to be sarcastic BTW anyone with a Zen 3 should watch the GN video on memory. # and type of memory can make a pretty big difference in performance.

I think you'll see the most benefit from going with a 3800 or 4000 kit at the lowest cas you can find. 14, 15 would be your best bet imo. Seems to be a 5+ % benefit from moving to faster ram.so you are saying I should upgrade from 2x16gb to 4x16gb? Damn, alright.
