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?

That's awesome,.. ordered just now and should arrive June 2nd. 😋

I sent my friends in Taiwan a screenshot of my order, processing status from Newegg,.. 😂

Still a bit pricy, but includes 30-day return, full warranty.

Thanks for the insight on Teamgroup memory. 

I just ordered the new 8200 kit. All this peer pressure around here. I’ll probably start eating more pizza too.

BTW-Since there’s no mention of 8200 on the QVL as Braegnok stated, is there a profile for XMP setting applicable for the TG kit?

If like me you feel more comfortable with Gskill kits Mr. Hopper the 8200 2x24 kits should be available mid-June.

I'm gonna stick with Gskill, because I don't have a huge knowledge base or skill set with DDR5. 🤣

Braegnok was correct Z790 and DDR5 will proceed with 2x24GB XMP kits - 8200 8400 8600 8800.

Gonna grab this 8800 2x24 kit at launch - super-excited. 🤗

All other makers showing off their Mid-Gen refresh motherboards, might we see ROG boards later this week? 

Z790 is both exciting and (getting) expensive, haven't even mounted my contact frame and now I need to purchase an updated Apex board to run 8800 2x24GB? Just kidding, not certain if that's the case.

Hope ROG expands the Z790 QVL, love my white silver Apex board 😋

No peer pressure, I'm in full control, can stop buying hardware anytime I want. 🤣

Edit: my bad,.. thanks. 😂

DDR5 is moving forward quickly on Intel platforms,.. Intel 14th gen CPU will support the new generation DDR5 modules that will have the Clock Driver on the module. The new gen memory will be 6,400MT/s CAS 46, with operating voltage 1.1V Default.

Team Group is releasing T-Force Xtreem modules,.. I like the non-RGB, and improved heatsink/cooling. 😍

Raptor Lake Refresh CPUs will still use 13th gen nomenclature bro, Z790 and LGA1700. 😀

14th gen is Arrow Lake and socket LGA1851
