Yeah, I don't know what to tell you on that....🤷‍♂️

7600 incoming... https://www.microcenter.com/product/660515/gskill-trident-z5-rgb-32gb-(2-x-16gb)-ddr5-7600-pc5-60800-cl36-dual-channel-desktop-memory-kit-f5-7600j3646g16gx2-tz5rk-black

I would give it at least a week before tearing it apart.... Lowing the voltage does wonders for temps.🙂

They sold out today, but when I checked they had one. Although it wouldn't have worked for it as it's an in store item only. Which I totally forgot. Edit: So it looks like I was telling stories....It is bootable and stable with just setting 7400 in the bios...Who knew.

@Mr. Fox I checked again at MC and found that if I choose my store I can not buy it out right I can only reserve it, then pay at store.

The actual inside of that box...

Not saying it didn't happen, but damn! That foam is damn near in perfect shape for being tossed around during shipping. And no one heard it rattling either? That would be the first person fired. That person that grabbed this off the shelf, unless of course this was sold through a private citizen using newegg.

Hummm, wonder how long till ours does the same thing.... Yeah, they are not going for the smash it with a hammer like Intel's Tuning plan when it was operational. 😂

Ugh.....I'm going to have to pick up an Asus board to find out what this chip is. If you are within your 15 day return period which I'm 100% you are, then they will take it back without wasting your warranty. Just wait until next week when I'm guessing they will have more. maybe even get some on Saturday. Edit: can you run 5.6 ghz on 1.268V?

Hummmm, and you chose the right protection plan correct? With the right SKU? And you asked what your warranty covers before even paying for it right? Also I would state that a low quality SP rating is grounds for replacement(Meaning chip is not up to par - But this can also be found with in the normal return period though). Now no one is going to really know what that is, but that is how we "quantify" Intel chips as being keepers or losers these days. (This is of course is an example)

I think it's more of the "lack of knowledge" than the board...

I have to say, I kind of wished I kept my hero now as it was matching my Unify-X with 2 Dimm slots. Might have to dump the Unify -X and grab another hero from MC, then just wait for something better to show up. I tried 7600, but no boot. All these try's were on auto settings only.

I was able to boot 7400, but not fully stable. I had 2 errors. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Edit: Is that with your Shamancy A-Die memory though?😄

Well, I swapped out my 12900K that I bought back in April. 🙂 (Cost was 549.99+ 69.99 for 2 year warranty) As it stands, no one is beating Microcenters in house warranty on computer parts. And Best Buy with their triple the cost warranty is "trash" and take forever to do anything when a problem arises. I walked my 12900K in store with no muss no fuss. Cashier already knew what time it was because he had a guy on 4090 launch day come back in with a complete computer setup to swap out. 😂 For the most part I'm done losing big money on aging parts. Had I bought my Kingpins through them I would be sitting on 4500 right now. If you do like me, then you only pay upgrade cost plus new warranty. And when the next card comes out you only pay the difference. She can't get mad then. Since she already got mad last year for the initial purchase.😄

Don't really know as I didn't ask. Just know they had plenty as I was the 20th person in store and they asked if I wanted one. They did changed the price on the 13900K to 549.99 sometime between 9pm and 5 am this morning though.

Chip cost me 39.99 plus 69.99 dollar warranty, so 110 bucks is a steal if you ask me. Now waiting to see when this KS is going to be showing up.

Got mine in hand as well. I should have taken my Zotac with me, could have swapped it for a MSI Suprim.

Same here, I have a few things to take back so I'm hitting them up bright and early as well.

Not sure at this point....You know how the rumor mill works..... Just because someone says it doesn't make it true....

To also add to this thread....there may be a 4090 Kingpin as someone found and reported the sku's for it. It was not said who was making it or where, just that there is a sku for it.

Me personally, i'm not overly concerned about it as this is my Windows 2022 Server. I have the ability to turn on or off the lighting so not an issue. But it makes for seeing things under the desk at night, 100% more enjoyable.

Oh snap! You just reminded me. let me turn my bling bling on now. 😂

Ah, now that makes way more sense now! Thanks for that.

You do know that that MSRP is like the middle of the road right? On a scale of like 5 different price points. the 159.99 price point is like 4 and 89.99 is like maybe 2. Edit: Isn't going from 90 dollars to 300 dollars...isn't that a 270% increase?
