Stitchy506I was lucky enough to win the Newegg Shuffle and get ahold of a new 12900k processor, but thanks to awesome scalpers, pretty much impossible to get current DDR5, (charging $2k at a minimum on ebay for $350 worth of DDR5 memory). I need to get a new motherboard ordered ASAP to use this thing, and I'd like for it to be EVGA to go with my 3080ti FTW3 UG. So yeah, anyone know of any DDR4 boards coming out soon for 12th gen intel LGA 1700?
transdogmifierhere's an idea, spread it far and wide:Tell people to stop buying from scalpers. Let them eat the product...they'll stop buying it up...Too bad you either won't spread it, or won't stop buying from scalpers.
Stitchy506I'm unsure if I made it sound like I was supporting the scalpers or what, but I'm not. That's why I'm looking for DDR4 because I refuse to support those scumbags. Guess I'll just buy an MSI then.
Stitchy506That's basically what I did. Picked up a quality DDR4 for around $300 from MSI, and I guess I'll wait on the rest. I can be patient, but silly to sit here and let my warranty expire with this new processor sitting in the box. May as well actually use it!

You need to be resourceful and search to buy DDR5 currently, or wait for your local retailers to restock.
TheRandomsI picked up a DDR4 z690 board in the interim but don't expect to upgrade the board for quite some time. I don't expect DDR5 to come down for a couple of years when prices may come down and stock actually becomes available more than just a few dimms every couple of weeks. I wonder at that time if it's even worth upgrading to a ddr5 board or just wait a few more years and then get the latest cpu and board
BigbergerI was under the impression DDR5 is still A. hard to get but B. available if you try hard enough. You're probably not going to get what you really want nor in the time frame you're thinking but I bet if you try for a few weeks you'll be able to find what you need.
ideasashnewegg has a decent stock compared to last month, anyone know when 32gb dimms will roll out?
