John, I'm not waiting until 2025 for pizza and wings and beer, bro that happens today since new hardware is arriving. 😮

I can't match the pizza, wings and beer, but we are trying a new curry house tonight 🙂

Sounds delicious. I'm staying home gf and baby are going to grandparents so I can have my computer play time. :cool:

And as far as the cost of the Z990 platform in 2025, if we both sell the older hardware we have laying around - Z990 as outlined below is already paid for, if you get what I mean.

ROG Z990 Apex
Intel 15900KS
Gskill 9200MT/s CL38 mem kit

It's really only 3 components to purchase or as I like to call them "Speed Parts". :cool:

Cannot figure out what's going on with Braegnok's Apex build. It's been 2weeks he's had the Apex and already had the 13900KS sitting on his workbench.

Maybe he didn't like the KS and returned it to Newegg or whatever retailer for a better one? Wish he'd let us know what's going on. Half the fun of building and overclocking is when others have the exact same gear and you can compare results and help one another. 😞

Wanted to see what he could do with that 7800 mem kit.

------

Gskill 7600 mem kit down to $309 today at Newegg - lowest price ever - $100 less than the launch price last October.
