was shopping for it this week, every site had it. and in 24 hours every site says out of stock. anyone has any idea why ? i don’t believe that there is a surge in TRPro users all of a sudden.
they’re also good for 4u epyc systems
probably low volume sku

I ordered one just yesterday from Amazon. Now I see it’s out of stock over there.
When I had it in my cart yesterday, it said there was 14 in stock.
I guess it’s good I got mine when I did.
Could be they’re making a slighlty less tall version.
They had hinted at it in response to Craft Computing’s Review.

Not sure if this is generally true, but I seem to kind of notice that a lot of shops don’t actually keep their own stock.
You often see stuff like ‘4 pieces availalble at (distributer/external) warehouse’, and they only order it from the disitributor once you’ve ordered it. So all these shops don’t have ‘4 pieces’ each, but there are only 4 pieces in total at the distributor.
I got bitten by this so many times during the last couple of months, where it said on the shop page, 4 pieces available ready to be delivered in 2 days. And after I ordered I got a message that delivery date has been postponed and order has been placed at the distributor. 
PS: I’m waiting for an optane drive since the day Intel announced it would terminate the optane stuff. I thought I quickly buy one, before the’re out of stock. Not sure if it will ever get delivered.
I just ordered one straight from Germany, 10 days door to door, i haven’t ordered the rest yet, but figured ill get one of these anyway.

Oh geez, I just watched that video. Here it is for reference:
It’s possible that this cooler won’t fit in my Rosewill 4U case, as it has a non-removable motherboard tray which adds about 5 mm of extra height, like Craft Computing’s case. I’d need to downgrade to a 92mm cooler like the Noctua NH-D9 DX.
If that’s the case, I’m willing to ship this cooler to someone else in this community for my cost + shipping to you. Instead of returning it back to Amazon. Please let me know.

It’s entirely possible.
It fits in my case with not even a single millimeter to spare.

What case if you don’t mind me asking
Norco 4224. There’s a thread here somewhere Wendell started where people were posting their fit/won’t fit stories and posting pictures.
I’ve since replaced the board I posted there, but same story. It fits… barely.

My case lid sits on my cooler, as the cooler is like 3-5mm too tall.
My case is a fake Norco 4224 imitation case

ARCTIC is no longer shipping the cooler to the US via their Ebay store. Just a few days ago, they were accepting US orders. I wonder why. Now the stock for this cooler has truly dried up.
i was able to place an order on the same store earlier in the week. i did it the second i saw no stock, and figured worst case i sell mine on ebay if i don’t want it (i do want it)
So the cooler does not fit in my case (kind of). See detailed post here:

ARCTIC is now re-shipping the cooler to the US via their Ebay store. However, they have raised their US shipping rate to $42.16, which I think is double what it was earlier. Now the cooler+shipping+taxes is over $100.
I wonder if they got hit by unexpected customs charges earlier, and they temporarily stopped shipping to US to figure something out.

I just bought one yesterday from there. I don’t know what game they’re playing, but mine is in the mail already in transit.
