Just got winformation that Z590 Dark is expected in March or April - personally I'm hoping March, I'm sure they'll partly depend on when Intel launches the 11900K etc series.  That's going to be the hard part to pick up... I may end up going the store route on that.  Might haveta pick up a socket-compatible chip to get the build up & running before getting the 11900K since that could take weeks or months if the lack of stock on AMD CPUs is any indication of how much bots are poaching the CPU system as much as the GPUs.

Did i miss something?? i'm waiting for the 3895 but there wasn't drops for this card for months... is it a bad card? there was problems on the card?  aren't they producing it anymore??

They havent pushed any at all... hopefully you put yourself in queue for other cards...

Hopefully 3975 gets some more im close and it’s the best card for my mini ITX build

any action on the 3898 today?

So far 9:03:34

lets do some quick maths. typically 10-15 seconds 3 times a week. so im at 9:09:16. so 5:42 left. I should get card in April.

It's more accurately 10-15 seconds once a week. Considering that the signup started on 12/16 and the first recorded entry in the spreadsheet is 09:02:38 and todays movement is up to 09:03:34, that's approximately 10 seconds a week.

This also doesn't take into consideration any dead weeks that we've had or will have.
 
Edit: concerning SKU 3898

You fail to consider the fact it didn't have cards for a month, apparently this week starts regular drops for the 3898 sku, meaning it will get better till Asian holiday coming up :/

im kind of picky about what card I want. 3090 is too much for me. 3080 is fine. but at MSRP, not current pricing. if I get a 3070 i refuse to pay 700$ for a 3070. i'd only get a 3070 if it was a founders edition for 499.99 on BestBuy. I refuse to pay 1000$ for a 3080, so if I got a 3080 it would either be MSRP through this queue system or a founders card for 699.99 on BestBuy, which I know I won't get.
so in my eyes my only options are 3070 FE, EVGA 3080 MSRP queue, or 3080 FE.

I successfully checked out with an MSI 3070 SUPRIM just last week on Newegg and immediately had buyers remorse since the total was $890. I work at a large company so I was easily able to give it to someone else for exactly what I paid. 


I wanted any 3070 I could buy now while I wait for the 3898, but it seems I may NOT be waiting that long and $890 for a 3070 is outrageous. MSI specifically increased their prices wayyy too high for not that great of cards. I would feel bad even using the card until I got my 3898 and selling it "used" (without tax/shipping) at MSRP for $779.
 
Almost a decade ago, someone wise told me to only buy EVGA or FE, and during this madness, the fact that EVGA is the only manufacturer with a queue (although slow) and grandfathered pricing, I can see why I was given this advice. 

was there any 3897 drops today??

Someone said there's no way I can fit both of these radiators up top. https://i.ibb.co/vz8HmKV/20210127-053550b.jpg And yes, the sides close. Took me about 2 hours to come up with that arrangement & get it fitted in there just right so the sides would close & there was no issues with wiring.
 
How'd the drops go yesterday, I kinda missed it messing around with the Kingpin.  Sounds like the 3080 FTW3 Ultra didn't drop at the very least.
Hopefully we get some good drops today to progress y'all's needs ^_^

You have the Thermaltake View 91? (from your mods rigs) What do you think of it? 

Extremely over-priced IMO but it's amazing and I love it.  I imagine the glass is a big reason why it costs what it does.  It has some great configuration options for people wanting to go full liquid cooling, for those of us (majority I would guess) that are AIO plebs, it gets a bit more complicated, as the front of the case is too far away to mount an AIO due to insufficient tube length.
The dust filtering is good but no spectacular because there is gaps between the sides of the case & the glass, but that only matters a lot if you have negative case pressure (more exhaust than intake, resulting in air coming in the gaps more prevalently which would of course result in more dust).  
I only buy cases once in a blue moon, my last case was an Enermax Fulmo GT which was also huge and I had it through 3 different builds I think.  I plan on using this case for the upgrade path I have planned out, with a CPU open loop being next on the list, and a i9 11900K & eVGA Z590 Dark upgrade once they're released.
It is extremely heavy, not that easy to work with, and I'd definitely say if you get one, remove the front glass (mine broke off in shipment, and I was planning to remove it anyway, it sheered off cleanly, I use it on the side now for another reason, so I just took that as a free change).  
 
This is the first time I've honestly thought about vertically mounting a GPU because the Kingpin looks so sick with all that bare copper.  I'll have to do some research on who makes excellent quality PCIe riser cables.

When I google searched the 91, it came up with the 71, at a $200 price tag, so I was sitting there thinking, "hmmm.... the 91 is probably like $300. That's what I paid for the Corsair Obsidian 800D!!" But then I finally found the MSRP: $450. That does seem wicked overpriced! Hard to excuse ANY flaws at that price point, in my opinion, but Thermatake is absolutely famous for their "halfassery". They have these brilliant ideas, and then they release a flawed or unfinished "final" product. Someone else will make their idea actually work and get all the credit and profits from the mass sales later. It's sad, really, because they absolutely have some excellent and original ideas! 
 
I am looking for a case with some tempered glass treatment, but I need at least two optical drives. I run three now, but I realize it is going to be basically impossible to find a nice-looking, nice-cooling tempered glass of any kind with three external drive bays. I am likely going to end up buying an overpriced 5.25" chassis to run the light scribe DVD/RW, as I seldom use that, but the two bluray drives will need a permanent home in the tower. There are some good options with two optical bays.
 
Does that rectangular hole above the 3 fans in the front of the View 91 by chance have any hardware that could possibly mount some optical bays in a somewhat attractive fashion? 

what is happening to 3897??

You and me both. I'm only 20 seconds away from that last drop.

Thanks to sajin for you assoc % off

I truly hope you get what you d3sire, but then again I am holding out for Kate Beckinsale, Jennifer Anniston will do, I'd even settle for Teri Hatcher. Keep the faith bro!
