Newegg listing November 2nd and 3rd:

96062

Newegg listing November 4th, today:

96063

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?

I gotta spend some time learning the new options in the bios before attempting 8000, but have a strong feeling this 11600K i5 might do 8000 and 8200, since the Apex is so sweeeeet! 🙂

And I've got to turn off those darn E-cores before going any farther. :rolleyes:

ROG put together a very nice professional package of Z790 Apex accessories without the silly stickers and keychains - we are NOT 15yrs old.

Maybe ROG is finally understanding that the Apex board is most ideal for professional home office users and not the PRO ART series. Home office users like me want the speed to complete our work quickly.

Thank you ROG! 🙂

It lives and breathes! Nice job. Good to know that these cards will support fast memory. Either you've been lucky or others have been unlucky, but that's reassuring indeed.

I'm going with EVGA Z790 motherboard this time, the Z690 was solid.

Waiting for Z790 Dark Kingpin to drop. https://www.evga.com/articles/01590/Introducing-the-EVGA-Z790/
