I just ordered the Dark Kingpin mobo for the EK-QuantumX Delta TEC I have on pre-order. Eventually I'd like to have the KP on that setup and see what I can pull off with the extended memory OCs.
 
I'll switch the MSI Unify in my setup to my son's PC and give him my 10700k that hits 5.1GHz. I'm still fairly disappointed that there are no Z490 SLI options for the 3090s unless you go with PCIe extenders and put the cards loose in the case. Albeit, with the Thermaltake Level 20 XT I will have room to do that. I really want to play with both the 5950x and 10900k in 3090 SLI  modes.

Nice, thats basically the same setup I'm building for myself with G.Skill 4266c17

Any tips?
 
For people putting together a 5950x setup, the CL14 G.Skill 3900MHZ hits the sweetspot for the 5950x perfectly and hits 14-15-15-30 at 1900Mhz fabric clk. Not sure about the 4000Mhz options, but they weren't working out well for me (not sure if it is bios or a bad bin). I do have a second 5950x on the way in December at some point.
 
Edit: I wanted to add that 5900x may hit the 2k fclk easier, so people using that and not the 5950x may be able to go that route.

I got a 5950x as well; although I'm waiting for the newly optimized gskill ryzen 5000 kits. My 3600MHZ will hold me over just fine until then. 

 
I went with the CL14 3600MHz 64Gb kit for my 5950x.  As far as I could tell this is the only option at 3600MHz/CL14 to get guaranteed dual rank memory and 4 DIMMS, the latter of which is very important to Zen3 performance .

Emails went out for the 3090 ultra after 1pm last time so lets see if the same happens today. 

I could see EVGA having a "soft close" today around 3 pm; I would be surprised if any "invite to purchase" emails go out to any of the queues after 2 pm today.

Why is that? The tech folks at EVGA are working a full day until 10 pm PST. I would think everyone else is still working a full day, too.

I would think customer service and tech support would have the full day -- all essential services, but corporate folks and...possibly shipping...in light of the 8 hour purchase window...I could see them electing to call it an early day.  To be clear, 100% speculation on my part.

I thought single rank was universally desired over dual rank...

As an aside, the EVGA Supernova 1600 T2 is back in stock as of today.  https://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-T2-1600-X1.  I picked up a 1000w Seasonic two months ago because it was out of stock and am now regretting that decision....

Are you planning to run more then 1 card? I really think 1000W on a quality supply should be enough. I just got a 1000W PSU myself (SuperNova 1000W T2) "upgrading" from a Cosair AX1200W(it was 10yrs old). I toyed with this choice myself and truth is without running 2 cards I do not see going over 800W even when benching at the highest loads. My current build tends to however around 550-600W with some transitory spikes into the 700s. This is with a Titan Xp that is OCed so not the load my 3090 KP will experience but even 200W more on the KP would still yield OK power levels for benchmarks... I cannot see games getting anywhere close to that. That being said, I am not expert and could certainly be wrong but this is what i have read here on the forums and is also what EVGA told me over the phone.

No, I am not.  I think the waiting process has just gotten to me so much so that I am second guessing everything.  Idle minds, idle hands, etc. etc. 
 
Thanks to everybody for the feedback and setting me back into reality.  Much appreciated!

I will use my 1200P2, but if I was buying a power supply today I would get something with 1600w. I like having the option to go LN2. You never know when the 3090 KPE will show up on the b-stock page dirt cheap, so having the option to run a second card is nice too. Plus, I want the PSU to run fanless under most loads to avoid dust buildup. I know the small power supply crew is a rabid bunch and they will defend their penny pinching to the death, but just my input. PSUs should last 10 years, so it makes sense to pay more, especially when we are buying $2k GPUs.

You know what they say about guys with big PSUs, right? Compensating..   
 
I have a 1000 T2 coming for my new build btw.
