[4:42 AM]be better to just accept a 4+++++ storage module raid capable devices, again perhaps there is more to be gotten out of the chipset, and perhaps when so many are longing for which they cannot have you want to make sure the numbers look as good as ASUS’ marketing material. You should keep selling what ever to who ever will buy it but how about some sensable options for those who have very little to gain in pc upgrades, memory bandwidth is ~the same~ unknown getting a 3200mem controller or a 5k mem controller intel really doesn’t say the odds or if they get higher with later gens,, what there chip quality is not far entered beyond “somewhat operational” thread/core count though apparently the i gpu is an option, perhaps KFs are better if you believe in the adage lightning doesn’t strike twice... i wonder if “unspeakable”/ unmentionable products are keeping the dark from being in reality the one “spec” you give  "operational", if 22 phase is not enough to suggest probability of an sku that would deter people from buying the current best now, scared your allowance of precious less optional pizza components will be cut off? 
I would be but * how do I order a product early if I’m not supposed to know it exists if I were an associate would I be granted access to the unknown things that I’d still not know about until it’s advertised to me by means of my online data transactions, and of course what a service data sharks provide and at no cost to me
I don’t care who claims credit for what as long as 2$ of interest a month keeps my credit a target for online marketing I Love cookies
Not by traditional memes nor means do I plan to become one, though I hope my good looks and autism misinterpreted as charisma will do be just enough to have a worthy deem me a worthy elite(copy and paste x100?)

 

Update to the data: EVGA Z590 FTW WIFI(121-RL-E597-KR) tracking
Queue moved to 10:00:14. According to notifies ID drop size estimated around 80 motherboards. Quite less than I expected - 80 isn't many.
If next drop will be with same amount, queue will move to around 10:00:30.
 
Happy Quesday!

Welp, this makes me much happier about my decision.  Competitor motherboard arrives tomorrow, build will be complete by Saturday. 
Good luck everyone

sigh, I wonder how many they actually had made.  Seems like a boutique item if they cant even meet the demand for the Elite program preorder.  Though I will hold out hope and see what happens, but im almost the full 24 hours after, and they are still batching out that first minute

It is difficult to say how many sign-ups they had over the first 24-48 hours. Nick has some estimates above from when we were able to get our notify numbers (they changed that and we don't have access anymore). It did look like most of the Elite members that wanted one had queued in the first minute. So after they get through that, I think it'll move right along. The questions we'll never get clearly answered are how many did they make and how often are they going to get more?

Where can I find information about release dates, and the products that have ELITE member pricing in the store? I would like to get a motherboard, didn't even know they were dropping until I saw them out of stock.

i don't see the QVL for RAM posted yet.  What are yall going to buy? 

Jacob said they were doing away with that for the most part. Seems they may just end up posting memory that doesn't work as there'll be far less of that.
 
I asked Jacob specifically about this kit and he said it should work so I bought it last time I saw it on sale for 10% off:
F4-4000C16D-32GTZR

Gskill 3600 cl14

TBH, after all the hype for this board, an initial drop of just 80 is fairly underwhelming. I'd have thought there would have been more stock available than that.

TBH, after all the hype for this board, an initial drop of just 80 is fairly underwhelming. I'd have thought there would have been more stock available than that.

I also thought there'd be more. That said, what hype? Other than us all drooling about these in the forums, I haven't seen or heard much of any hype about EVGA's z590 offerings. Most people just watched the GN and similar youtube reviews for 11900k where they tested it as though people are putting a 125W TDP rated cooler on it and hated it so they think it's all bad. 
 
I was surprised to see the notifications go out so late last night. I know I'm on EST so it wasn't as late for them, but it still had to be almost 5pm. Now I'm just wondering when UPS shows up at EVGA HQ as they haven't indicated they picked up my board yet.

My order has a tracking number on it, although it isn't showing on UPS yet but that's not unusual.

 
Same. Yeah, that usually means they printed a label for the box, but the truck driver hasn't scanned it in / picked it up yet. Normal stuff, but I don't know what time UPS shows up at EVGA and that's the only thing about this I can obsess over today, so that's the question on my mind 

ah good, we got both our 10:00:18's in. Congrats! I hope they have more soon for everyone else too
