Questions about AMD Ryzen 9 5900X

Digitec please remove JACOB listings from the site. They actively are scalping your customers by asking for double MSRP. They've been doing it with multiple products for a long time now.

It's a little disappointing to see Digitec, the specialists for all things digital for many people, putting some RAM DIMMs with 2400 MHz and 2666 MHz frequencies into the matching accessories of the Ryzen 5900X. I guess it's matching in the sense that it will work but you won't get optimal performances out of it. When spending more than 500 bucks on a processor you should get the best tips and information from your hardware provider (looking at you Digitec). DDR4 stands for double data rate of the 4th generation. It means that a memory at 3600Mhz really runs at 1800Mhz (or cycles per seconds) but sends information twice per cycle. The 5900X has a fabric clock of 1800 Mhz as most Ryzen processors do. (not to be confused with the core speed in GHz). These processors work best when paired 1:1 with the RAM (otherwise they have to wait on each other regularly and some clock cycles will be "lost"). Meaning that if you get a Ryzen processor you should aim for DDR4 DIMMs at 3600 MHz for best performances. (4000 MHz if you plan on manually overclocking your CPU fabric clock to 2000 MHz). Is it an absolute must? No. Will you notice the performance decrease? If you're not a rendering artist, a CAD engineer or a gamer, chances are you won't. But then it should be your decision to save a buck and downgrade your memory and not have it be the consequence of you not getting the right information. If you're not after performance though, you might want to reconsider your choice of a super high end CPU like the 5900X all together. Digitec is a great shop. It became very (very) dominant in Switzerland. I just hope it won't become complacent. Good tips to customers and attention to detail is crucial when selling computer hardware. The specification pages of many items have missing, inaccurate or wrong information (see the confusion in memory speed vs memory bandwidth in RTX 3080 graphics cards for instance, if it hasn't been fixed). Don't recommend sub optimal RAM because you want to move product. It's not a nice color...

I instantly ordered it the second it became available. Why is there a 4-6 week wait? There was no way to pre-order it.

Thanks to the "Equipped to Win" promotion, the 3900XT comes with the game Far Cry 6 for free. According to the AMD website, this also applies to the 5800X, 5900X and 5950X. Is there any information on this from digitec?

Why can you already rate the product?

From what time exactly can the processor be ordered?

How can I redeem the code for the free additional product if I only receive the product after the redemption period of 30.1.2021?

I really can't understand how Digitec can let these external sales outlets/department shops on their website at all. The Ryzen 9 5900X is offered by Digitec itself for 599, but Jacob.de sets the price here at 941.72. A bottomless impertinence. If I were Digitec, I would ban all these department stores (Jacob.de, Das Warenhaus until they have adjusted their prices) from the shop!

The pricing of your "partner" JACOB DE is an outrage. I think I can write on behalf of some of your long-time customers and ask you to question these extortionate offers. A Ryzen 9 5900x is now listed there for €1609.77, a RTX 3090 Strix OC for €4203.12 (as of 29.01.2021). What is incomprehensible to me personally is the fact that digitec offers such a retailer a platform in Switzerland. Serious question, do you really need this? It's no secret that you achieved record sales last year, so I ask again, do you really need this? You're all about customer satisfaction, so where exactly is the advantage for the end customer with JACOB DE? Apart from negative comments and "ugly" customers, I can't see any advantage here, neither for your customers nor for you. There is a saying: "Sometimes less is more"... In this sense, thank you for taking note.

Is it a misunderstanding? i instantly ordered as soon as it came out and i gotta wait till the end of december? i thought waiting for my GPU was bad but 2 months for a CPU?

So I literally had 5 tabs open refreshing constantly. The second it became available I instantly ordered it since I had the In Store Pick Up and Payment selected. It verified instantly. Then to secure things further I edited it and paid immediately to avoid BS excuses. With all the timing and instant initiation it still gave me 4-6 weeks. So that literally must mean that they weren't planning on having any of them ready at all? Does any single person have the option to acquire one within the next day? ...

I take bets. What is going to reach me sooner, AMD 5900X or nVidia 3080?

4-6 weeks delivery? How the hell? I thought the sale started today at 15:00.

ordered as soon as it was available, literally the same second, and it says "delivery: Early december".....so there was no stock I guess -.-

Well, where are they?

I have been waiting for this processor for a good 4 months now. Supposedly a delivery should arrive in 6-8 days. Let's see if this will be something Digitec :) I find this long waiting time a real pity... after 4 alleged dates now maybe a small glimmer of hope...

My 5900x order, after counting down from 14 days, was yesterday finally saying "expected today". Then it changed to "No information available". How can Digitecs stock information system be so ****ing bad? I mean really, from a consumer perspective this is just terrible. :(

Any update on availability?

How much will this processor cost? The MSRP will be $550 as AMD announced.

This is a real disappointment. I would have been willing to switch from Intel to AMD after years. But 0 availability in the whole of Switzerland is totally ridiculous. This is a paper launch in perfection. At least some of the Nvidia 30XX cards were available with a bit of luck. Too bad AMD.

Has digitec received any Ryzen 5x at all?

not one available at 1500 ???? what's going on here.

What is the point of these completely overpriced JACOB.de offers? Who orders there at these rip-off prices? Sorry, but this casts digitec in an extremely bad light.

The price scalping (double the MSRP) of JACOB DE is shocking, and sad that Digitec permits such robbery on their platform.

Highest rating for Digitec in general. BUT this is not a price that should be on your site. It's almost 2x the normal price, 1033 chf vs 549. Don't encourage scalpers please! Reconsider if this JACOBS DE should continue as supplier for Digitec

Lost...no delivery time known. Hope for a surprise with my order.

Will the processor be available for pre-order?

What's going on with Far Cry 6, I ordered my Ryzen 5900X on 5.11. and got it at the beginning of December. But I didn't get the code for the game. I opened a ticket with support, according to the answer I should have received my code on 14.12., but it hasn't arrived yet. Does this additional product really exist?

Has anyone received the code for FarCry yet? I've had the CPU since 05.12. and haven't received anything yet...

In the meantime, the CPU is available with a free additional product (Far Cry 6). However, if I remember correctly, this was not the case when I placed my order on the release day at 15:03. Will I still get the game?
