Thanks guys!
I don't buy until I read the manual.

One of the previous versions of the marketing page for the z790 boards had a 'get notified' image link. I 100% clicked it and put my email in, but didn't check that it was in my notifies until today  and it's missing. It's fine if that was an accident, but there's no notify signup on the current product pages. I've been sitting on a full stack of hardware for about a month, and it's going to feel real bad to miss stock availability.

Guys, it is not for sale yet. That is all. This is how they integrated their inventory, sales, logistic, digital storefront, and forum together. We like to think EVGA is a big company. They do good business, but they do not employ 1000s of people...They employ a few hundred. Let's let them spend their effort on design, QA, and CS.

Will these Z790 motherboards ever show up on EVGA Europe store?

I'd guess this is what they are putting up for now for all of us. If the release were earlier in the year (not the holidays) I'd say the EU page would be up in a week or two. If they are releasing them before Christmas (which isn't looking likely (the logistics could go bad)), it will go up in EU. I'd expect the EU pages up after Christmas, probably after New Year. 

I've been using EVGA for almost two decades now and I think I may understand EVGA (a little (they still surprise me frequently)). The13900 KS (the binned K) should be out 1stQ. Given the recent struggles with supply, I 'feel' EVGA wants to release the boards when that hits the market, because of EVGA's core value, "Components designed for and in support of gamers and computer enthusiasts without compromise." They want you to buy their gear and it be the best you can get at a price that makes you love it even more, but they want you to complete your build with the best components, because it makes them look great, and you failing to complete makes their skin crawl and literally furious at industry partners. They want you to get the KS with these boards (or whatever CPU you want). On the topic of GPUs, everyone at EVGA is still salty af ...What Jensen is doing with supplying partners and induced scarcity...these are NOT EVGA core values. The salt is real, and actually worse today then in September, because of EVGA wanting us to have access to acquire parts.

Edit: learned I was wrong, which is fine, I can live with being wrong, but sadly I now don't think the Kingpin and Classified Z790s (being sold in NA) will be sold in EU. 

I see people bought them in EU via ebay. There is another way. There are Escrow Discord channels set up to facilitate low fee/no fee p2p sales. Ebay doesn't deserve the markup.

Hope we can get it again!

I couldn't wait any longer and ordered an Asus ROG Maximus Z790 Hero to house my 13900k.

It was horribly frustrating to find out that z790 Darks were available for order during the recent event.
 
What was the point of signing up for a queue for the motherboard if there was going to be people who could cut in front of me? 
 
The end result of this is that I took my money and bought an Apex. They were actually available to buy, and I don't have to guess what my place in line is, or if the company is even going to respect the line they themselves created.

Z790 DARK K|NGP|N now available in limited quantities! 
 

so great you guys at EVGA had this queue to sign up for months ago and I got an email saying this was available
 
except that didnt happen and the queue was pointless just like me pretending to care about a company I will never buy from again.
 
 

 
there was no queue for this item. it was just a more information signup. this isn't an airport, you don't need to announce your departure

they did have a sign up for it, and I never received any info, still to this day
 
since you feel obligated to white knight them, I feel obligated to remind you this is a discussuion forum about the motherboards in question
 
surely a discussion about how their current marketing scheme is being received by potential customers is relevant and on topic
 
 

I watched the stream for 1.5 hours and honestly got tired of watching manz play Fortnite. So I went to eat dinner and then they must’ve gone on sale, sold out by the time I got back :( betrayed by my stomach.

I would wager though, that the people who bought them were other forum users also on the notify list waiting for the link. Probably not randoms who happened to be watching the stream

I just happened to see the Dark Kingpin available that evening and could have made the purchase but I wanted to read the manuals and I'm leaning toward the classified anyway.

This Jacob. I know you guys have enough on your plates, but we are out here trying to highlight what is great about EVGA, but no one from product management is here.
