My TR3960X came in today, the TR3990X is on order :-). Since my current chassis isn't configured for liquid cooling I went with an air cooling solution and it is freakishly large, seriously.

> My TR3960X came in today From where?!? All I can find is B&H Photo with a pre-order estimating a month wait.

  A shop in the Bay Area called "Central Computers." Once ASUS announced their TR40 motherboard I told him I wanted that, 64GB of RAM, and a 3960 or 3970 when they came in. He called me Friday morning and said, "ok we have it". Since by that time the 3990 had been announced as well I told him to put me down for one of those when they got them as well to replace the 3960.

    Huh, lucky. Apparently no one's got them online yet. Just hoping I don't have to wait as long as I did for my last CPU - an i7-6700k. It was quite a few weeks after "release" before I could actually buy one. I'll probably stick with 32GB of RAM for now - I don't run a lot of VM's or anything - but I'm going to try an Intel Optane as a main SSD drive this time. Thinking about the Aorus Master sTRX40 since I'm a bit partial to Gigabyte for motherboards. These TRX40 boards are not cheap.
