On the positive(?) side, I only have 2x16GB sticks of 4000MHz because I'm coming from a Z490 Dark KP board, which only has 2 dimm slots. I do have another 4x8GB sticks of 3600GHz memory from an earlier build, so I guess I've got it covered either way.. I hope. All are Corsair Dominator Platinums.

Any idea when we could see a second drop?

Possibly Tuesday.  That seems to be a semi-regular thing with drops, enough that folks have started referring to 'Tuesday' as 'Queuesday'.

They're typically very closed mouth about drops in general, because they don't want to be locked into an estimate, and create a lot of angst and disappointment should something delay the drop or there not be as many skus available as they thought.

I had been hoping for some good news to pop up this afternoon (EST) but nothing yet.  Really would like to get it ordered for my birthday this weekend :-P

Still waiting (im)patiently for the Z590 Dark 

The UPS driver has been doing laps around my town all day and still hasn't dropped off my board yet. I couldn't track the package for a week, but now I have the "follow my package" feature where it tells you where they are on the map. Just circling my house... All day... I swear they're just messing with me lol.

Lol dude that plastic on the damn heatsinks really pissed me off, like why are there perforated marks on it, just to let the rest break off in the crevices.

Tired of being treated like a mushroom, can someone from evga tell us when more boards are going to drop with out making us scour the internets.

It would be nice, but I don't think they'll ever give out that info.

Last week was approximately 80 boards. This week thus far has been zero (That we know of). Given the issues with getting chips, etc.., I'm not even certain they know when the next batch is going to be ready.

I'd love to know what sort of timeline is involved myself, I've got parts coming for a new build, much like everyone else here but I'd be extremely surprised to see any sort of official info on availability. There are too many factors they don't control at present, and giving people a date, quantity or other info will just lead to a firestorm when something happens to disrupt expectations based on that info.

To give a bit of perspective, I work for an Ag company. We sell equipment and supplies to farmers and ranchers for the most part. We've stopped giving people estimates on deliveries and product availability. Between the millions of dollars worth of inventory we have tied up at various ports that we can't lay hands on (There's a shortage of drivers and containers, among other issues), the prices and availability of steel and other raw materials, and the delays our suppliers and partners are having with those same issues (Stihl, for example, has been out of motors for chainsaws, etc.. for months because of supply line issues) we just can't offer any sort of reliable information. In most cases, the delays involved in getting something as simple as King Kutter mower decks and other implements for tractors (something that used to have a lead time of a couple of weeks) has now turned into estimates of several months at best. Some of our suppliers have told us that some things, for new orders placed today, aren't expected to ship until after the first of the year.

TL:DR - Yea, it'd be great to know when we can expect sufficient product to fulfill the queue, but given global logistics at present, don't expect much beyond "We're working on it" or "Possibly, maybe, next week(ish). Sort of." type answers.

dude i had to bust out tweezers.  the perforated tear off made no sense unless they assumed you would just leave it there to melt off.
 
its a heavy mobo though.  such a sweet beast.

Quoted as a reminder that while we may be making progress on the human front with vaccines (seriously, get vaccinated if you can.  The sooner we get dosed, the sooner we can drop the masks), there is a lot of work on everything else to get back to normal.

Any plan on releasing a board for AMD? Intel getting all the love.

Has there been any more reports on drops?

Has there been any more reports on drops? 

Sadly, no. 

My CPU and AIO show up Thursday.  I'd love to be able to put them on a board...  (not so subtle plea to EVGA )

i love that evga packs the drivers on a usb drive now.  I haven't used a dvd/cd rom in many years.
 
also, the eleet x1 drivers they bundled doesn't work.  looks like it is the z490 version...  no Biggy.  i am sure it is coming.
 
I wonder what will be better for gaming performance: 4000MHz, gear2, 16-19-39 at 1.4V /OR/ 3733, gear1, 16-16-36, 1.4V

dude.  i just went and doubled checked my board and guess what????  I still had a little protective film behind the yellow capacitors.  lucky for me i always benchtop my stuff for a few days before a build but it was a PITA to get off and not hit anything in the process.
 
EVGA needs to make a phone call on this and get that changed.

Should have taken a picture and posted it so other could look for the same plastic.
