Z790 APEX Availability Overclocking and Playtime Thread : )

Newegg listing November 2nd and 3rd:



Newegg listing November 4th, today:



Did Newegg sell out their known incoming quantity of boards as Pre-Orders in 48hours? OR did they simply change the purchasing status?

Who knows right?

Did anyone grab a pre-order?

Raptor Lake is like the Wild Wild West! 

EOL on a Gskill 8000 kit after only 6months of life?

I'm guessing Gskill had a zillion returns from enthusiasts NOT using Apex. That's why the Gskill QVL exists in the first place - like duh. 

Congratulations to everyone who grabbed the 8000 2x16 kits while available.

Enthusiasts over at OCN and Mr. Hopper also achieving amazing results with the 8000 2x24GB kits. Go Mr. Hopper! 👍

Also to add more confusion to the Gskill ranking and binning ambiguity 🙄. Gskill has announced 8200 2x24GB kits, not yet available.

I'm just gonna stay with what I have and be happy. 😃

8200 CL34 is PURE ZOOM! 😎

Yea. I’m kinda stuck now as I was thinking of getting one of those 32G kits, but my options are limited to used kits on EBay. Roll the dice?

[iBruceypoo]

Would not buy ANYTHING, until after Computex, next two weeks a moratorium on buying. lolol

So many new components launching or announcing just sit back watch the show and make popcorn. 🤣

[Hopper64]

Wisdom. And pizza pie……

GF: why doesn't he just go home to his family, I don't want to kill him.

Bruce: because we have cut off all access points to the outside world - this fruit fly can never go home. 😡

GF: 😩

Poor little fruit flies. They probably only wanted to be your friends 😑 We had a rat in the house last year, could hear him in the ceilings lol. Took me 6 weeks to catch him and he wasn't happy about that. I drove him 2 miles away and let him go so he could find another house to live in lol. He hasn't come back and luckily he had no brothers or sisters. I set a humane trap with peanut butter, cheese and biscuits and thought he would never fall for it lol. In the end he couldn't resist. He was hissing and trying to bite me through the bars, so I had to let him go very carefully! He was pretty big too 😂

[iBruceypoo]

We have racoons that come by every night. They sleep in the outdoor rocking chairs. lolol 🤣

I don't feed them, but did put a large cardboard box out for them - can hear them playing in the box at night. lol

Random, off topic:  Looks like G.SKILL DDR5 8000 2X16 kit is EOL. ☹️

[iBruceypoo]

Mr. Hopper came in an told us the bad news.

But why would Gskill END the 8000 2x16 kit? I don't get it? (scratching head emoticon) 🤔

[JohnAb]

That's surprising. Is is the 8000 that's discontinued or 16GB? Seems that 24GB might be the new 16. That was my impression anyway a while back. Bigger, better? I also read that somebody had purchased a 2x 24GB kit and it worked fine. Maybe it's the future.
