If any of you are still looking for a 12900, I found this link on the Intel or PCMR reddit for a 12900KF https://www.centralcomputer.com/intel-core-i9-12900kf-12th-gen-desktop-processor-boxed-bx8071512900kf-16-core-8p-8e-24-thread-socket-lga-1700-3-2-ghz-125w.html .. There was a 12900K on there...
Is the Gigabyte Bios really as bad as everyone says it is? I've narrowed my search down to the Gigabyte Aorus Master or the MSI MEG Z690 UNIFY.
Was looking at the Strix Z690-E Gaming board, but don't like the fact that the Pci-e 5.0 16x slot drops down to 8x if I install a m.2 into the top slot...
Kinda stuck between the MSI MPG Z690 Carbon, Gigabyte Z690 Aorus Master or the ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming.

Good Luck!

Last I've heard is that there would be no pre-orders with the 30 series cards. Just keep an eye out towards mid-late week in case some some sites change their minds
I want to see what the temp difference is between AIB and Founders 3090. The FE actually looks really interesting this time around and wouldn't mind snagging one of them if AIB isn't insanely better price/cooling wise.
Was in stock for a total of about 3-4 minutes and I picked one up :D. Should be arriving later this afternoon! I went with overnight rush shipping just in case there was some sort of issue with supply & I didn't want to receive the good ole "The card you wanted is out of stock now and you're...
Looking for at least 1, possibly 2 copies of Rainbow Six Siege for a couple friends. Straight up key or a Bullets or Blades promo code. Either or is fine, it's all the same.
Let me know what you have and how much you want.
Thanks!
