You know what I just realized. That I paid $574 ($618.50 after tax) for the 13900KF and this will be the first time I have ever had to pay more for the MB then CPU. Thinking back even further, 10 yrs ago during the GTX600 series I had paid less for the 680 then what I'm about to fork out for a MB today.
 
Crazy!

We can’t be sure of how stock will look this time around. It’s very possible that they can make 10-20x the previous generation stock now since they no longer need to make gpus! I’m just thinking out loud but if they use that labor to make boards it’s not that unreasonable.

If previous generations are the marker, it will be a while before they show up on their eBay store for international buyers. Isn’t that where you had to get them before? Surprised to hear Amazon has them now. I wonder if that will impact things this time around or if it’s just the case where Amazon gladly buys up overstock when companies are willing to mark it down from original retail pricing

It's December....
 
Still no word on an official release im holding back until mid December hopefully there will be a date given. I don't want to go to Asus....

Hopefully someone from EVGA chimes in with an updated release window so I know if the Asus Apex is going to be the only option for my build before years end.

The last word I saw from Jacob on Twitter (on Nov 11th) was "Was trying to get it ready in Nov however due to unforeseen circumstances may slip a bit..." and then in response to someone asking today he just said "Working on it..."
 
Hoping we'll get some news soon, it's getting harder and harder to hold out for the EVGA with so much else out there on the market already.

Too long anticipation blurs common sense and drill the valet.
Draw a line (date). If nothing happens go for a plan B.

My z690 KP just got here today actually I am hyped! Depending on how much the z790 costs and what its looking like in terms of possible extra DDR5 performance, I might be interested to use the step up program and try to secure one.  This is the first time I have ever had something really premium, and I am really excited to overclock with this board.  I won't have time to use it until maybe on Tuesday or so though...

Jacob from EVGA said "May have some limited availability Friday afternoon." about the Z790 yesterday on Twitter.
