Regarding the removal of the Asobo Liverpool airport, no need to go hunting in the official folder. When in Sim, go to your profile > content manager. Search for Liverpool then click on it. This will give the option to delete it. This not only clears it from the sim but frees up the disk space. If you want to add it back in, come back into the content manager and you will now have the option to install it - you will never lose access to anything you delete from the content manager and this can remove many things including other airports, aircraft, bush trips etc.

Did some playing around with undervolting the 5800X via curve optimiser in the bios tonight. Only did testing in MSFS2020, no real benchmarking as such, and dropped the voltage across all cores with a negative 30 offset. Not seen a massive difference if I am being honest - a little drop in power use according to HWMonitor of around 15W and perhaps running slightly cooler but it does vary be run. The biggest difference I can determine by monitoring inflight using MSI Afterburner is I'm staying on the max 4850MHz across all cores for far longer. Screenshot of Afterburner attached but hitting that frequency across all cores and 58oC seems solid performance air, cooled in MSFS2020. I used the following video as a guide but given he saw limited results with the 5950X, I wonder if the full 8 core CCXs are already running very close to optimised as opposed to the 5600X and 5900X.

B12 - I'm going to experiment with undervolting the 5800X once the non beta bios drops for my motherboard. I'm seeing all cores hit 4850Mhz stock with my Noctua cooler but there is scope to potentially increase the all core clock limit by undervolting and even if there is no increase - power use and thermals should drop.

Got an email from Ebuyer saying they no longer have stock of the AMD 6800XT - I opted for the email option for joining a queue on a first come serve basis to secure one of the cards. This was about 10 mins after the launch on the 18th. I can only assume this means they got their shipment of cards for tomorrow’s partner launch and they didn’t get too many. Not looking to hopeful now but will be trying to buy from somewhere regardless.

Will do. I'm sure you will be more than happy with the Zotac. I do think there will be more demand for the GPUs than the CPUs but I'm hopefully the botched Nvidia release has AMD not wanting to repeat the same mistake so hopefully a bit more stock i.e. long enough to get one in the basket and checkout. We always have the partner releases expected about a week or two later as a second opportunity to purchase so I'm confident I'll get something.

What are you planning on using it for? Me personally I also have a Mac so I don’t use the pc for much other than flight simming hence why I’m happy with the 5600X. Currently running a Ryzen 3600 which is already good but I get cpu bound in X-Plane and a new gpu would be a good match for a faster processor.

Hi, I ordered from Ebuyer. Due for delivery today - currently at local delivery office. I deliberated over ordering for half an hour and the other stores sold out but I’ve always had great service from Ebuyer. At least I know what time the GPUs will go on sale on the 18th which is my main purchase. Keep us posted on your progress. Cheers, Andy.
