Hello Forum, what’s the availability from your part of the world? Are they on the shelves of Microcenter near you? Has anyone seen prebuilt options including this CPU? My nearest microcenter is a 13 hour flight.
Rather surprised a group like Cosair hasn’t come up with a prebuilt system. Or perhaps this part is understocked vs scalper bots?
@wendell I don’t suppose I could pay you an extra 2k over parts for a clone of the pcie4 optane and 7950x3d build you did recently?
Also please chime in if you managed to buy one for MSRP.
My usual barometer in the UK for these things is Scan Computers. They are listing pre-built systems with the 7950x3d, and one of them is quoted as having a lead time of 1-2 days: https://www.scan.co.uk/search?q=7950x3d So this suggests some, but not much, availability.
Go hit newegg right now. Just got the notification email of stock. EDIT and got one. Finally.
Building a system while not living in the US really sucks. Long shipping times combined with lackluster quality control means you won’t be able to swap parts within the return window if there is an issue.
