Micro Center employees who handed out the 3090/3080 vouchers this morning.

They asked what CPU I was waiting for, I said 5900x, they said ok good because there won't be any 5950x til December.

Mhmm... this is really bad news... @.MCAdmins, when are you guys finally gonna put out the FAQ?

24 Hours before the launch and we still don't have any details. Given the 30XX launches got a ton of prep and attention I'm really disappointed AMD isn't seeing the same treatment.

Anyone swing by the Fairfax store and see if line has started?  Looks like low of 42degrees overnight.

futurewolfie

Yeah I really don't want to bother waiting if there aren't going to be 5950Xs

I'm going to be heading up there around 5pm, its an hour and a half drive but I'll give updates as it goes for the Fairfax location

I still find it so weird that MC would delay the launch of 5950Xs when they are 800 USD CPUs, and there is a lot of demand for it... it seems like such a bad business decision...

Is anyone planning on going to the Sharonville OH location? I’ll likely get there around midnight.

Lower yields from initial production and initial shipment to large system builders would be my guess..

Hype isn't as big for the CPU's. I'm first in line in Houston.

How is the line looking like at Houston MC now?

I was planning on being there. Not sure when though, but I was thinking around that time.

Usually people are cool enough to respect your place in line for bathroom breaks. 

Subtle

Midnight party at marietta store? Haha distanced ofcourse 

FirstTimeCamper

Anyone know what the Denver store looks like right now?  I was thinking of showing up at 6am, but I might try to get there a little earlier.  Anyone already lined up?

I’m heading up to Cambridge in about 4 hrs from now sofar as work permits I was 14th in line for a 3090 and I did not get one. I’m not going to miss out on this one nomatter what.  As far as things go if a 3080 is in stock when I go inside will they be avalible to purchase so I could get a 3080/90 with a 5950/5900x ?

Wow, the dedication i am seeing is borderline crazy/admirable. I thought i was crazy waiting at 9:00 PM for a 3080 which turn out to be worth but this is on another level. Hope everything turns out well, be safe and warm !

jonRock

I plan on getting there at around 3am at the columbus location. Do you guys think that would be really enough to secure a 5600X? And do you know if they are handing out vouchers tonight before they close so I don't have to wait overnight?

AaronJB

Have we determined if the 5950x rumors about December availability are creditable? Wish Microcenter would tell us a little bit more info about this launch. Info such as expected stock numbers, etc. We are less than 24 hours away...

AzzyPen

I can't wait to show up early and find out there's no or not enough stock at my local MC

SomeRandomGuy

Honestly I’m five hours away from where I need to from past experiences should I leave now and go early or be there by 11-midnight? I’m so worried!? Lol

At this point its anyones guess... but it also depends on the CPU you want

5900x and if there sold out of that the 5950x

You might want to get there early then...

Anybody at the Duluth or Marietta locations heard anything about stock? Thinking of coming around midnight. Don't know which store yet though. I live about an hour from both lol
