when can we expect to see the first z-790 dark kingpin on amazon? 

I'd assume there is some pressure to get the boards selling before Thanksgiving (really asap), since so many other z790 boards have been available for weeks now. I believe November 11th is the best guess I read somewhere.

Oh snap, the Classified now features the rotated socket as well!

I completely agree with rotated CPU socket (server style) motherboards which I support and preffer 100% with all my heart, Well done EVGA 

As we are waiting for these Mobos to release, what memory are you guys going with. I am thinking of GSkill 6000 cas 36 right now but with all these crazy fast speeds coming I might go higher

Some gskill 7200 or 7600 is my plan and then see how high I can push it. Personally I'd go higher if I were you but if you want a good deal on some barely used 6000 c36 gskill Z5 RGB you can PM me.

Last night some friends and I were doing a little friendly bench sesh where we pushed each other on frequency. This was the best I could do with 2 sticks and cold IMC: https://valid.x86.fr/qiliyj (DDR5-9632). Z690 Dark.
 
My friend did DDR5-9980 on z690 Unify X. 10000 on retail hardware is in sight. https://valid.x86.fr/a53pxq
 
I am itching to get my hands on the 14 layer Dark KP. Please drop today EVGA 

Are we there yet? 
 
Sitting on this DDR5 and 13900KF. Looking forward to retiring this X299 system.
 
Do we think we'll see a Nov launch?

Jacob responded to this question with "that's the plan" but no idea if that means today, next week, or later in the month.
 
As for pricing, i'm guessing $799-829 range.

Jacob said the rumors of the Z790 boards dropping this week weren't true so definitely not today.
