Update: bought a cheap 15m fiber optic hdmi 2.1 cable from amazon, half the price of the more expensive brands and everything works fine surprisingly! how long it will last, no idea, but so far so good.
 

You can use camelcamelcamel to look at Amazon price history for any product if that's of use to you. This is for the C2 in the UK for example.

As a 5800x owner, I can confirm that it's indeed a hot boi cpu. It doesn't hurt to go overkill on cooling for this one, I'm using the dark rock 4 with idle temps around 40, gaming around 70 and stress tests can even creep into the mid 80's. I thought I was doing something wrong, but quickly google "5800x temps" and you'll see just how common this is for this particular cpu. More so than any of the CPUs in the Zen 3 lineup, it just runs hotter by nature

Ok yeah ran memtest 86, was getting a bunch of red lined errors immediately so I took one stick out, still got errors, swapped them around and bam.. nothing at all so far and it's been running for nearly 20 minutes. Bad sticky 

So i have a 5800x and 3070, but seem to only get 50-60 fps in the city area on ultra with ray tracing and dlss set to quality. I thought oof ok, let me turn off raytracing maybe but it didn't seem to affect fps at all? I then tried high, medium and even as low as LOW settings with DLSS on the high performance mode and even THEN it ran at the same fps? I am completely lost as to why this is happening

I'm not sure how things are in other parts of the world, but here in australia one of our biggest retailers claim that both the 5600x and 5800x have "plenty of stock available at launch" with the 5900x and 5950x to be in stock next week (I'm assuming all cpu's will be in stock just fine at launch in the US) it also appears that there will be regular shipments coming in the coming weeks too, so i think stock (fingers crossed) looks much better than the 30 series launch.

After searching around also, the RMx units did come up a lot in terms of their quietness so I might go with a 650w or 750w one!
