Ryzen processors popped on MemEx last night. Out of stock online but had a bunch in Calgary. I scooped a order for in store pickup and saw the quantity drop. No idea if it'll actually be there today or if they'll cancel it and sell them at the door but they did show stock of all the new processors and bundles.

How do you do an online order for in-store pickup? They told me it was in-person sales only and that's what it says beside the item too

The mobo/cpu bundles they offered around 10:30 last night allowed in store pick up, well it was the only option that worked...would error out if you tried to select ship to you.

I got a 5900x bundle last night, see if they call or email me today to go pick up.

How important is QVL? Seems like these faster Trident Z Neo CL16 (16-16-16-36 and 16-19-19-39) are not compatible with my motherboard.

What motherboard do you have?

The QVL is just memory that they have tested and guaranteed to work, it doesn't necessarily mean something not on that list will not work.

Yup, out of stock for online shopping but still let you add to cart then at the checkout screen you could select pickup location

Ten or so people lined up outside of the SE MemX this morning. Really don't understand peoples need to stand in line to buy new untested products the day of release but whatever it's not my money or my time...

Lots of people have tested it, the review embargo lifted today.

Spoiler: They're as good as the rumors/leaks said they were.

Yeah and lots of people tested the RTX 3000 series and look at how that panned out for some folks. There's stuff that never gets caught by reviewers until there's mass deployment of products. Still don't agree with buying untested stuff at release.

Linus review, chips are what they said they are ~20% better performance than Zen 2 chips and kill Intel in both gaming and productivity.

Best buy has 980 Pro's in stock (online), just picked up a 1TB.

Folks on reddit that are in line or have waited in line reporting some online orders from last night are being cancelled due to low stock, soooo who knows if any of the bundles will honored because that's how quality these launch days are.

[colsankey]

Other than a bad beta driver due to tight NDAs that was fixed in a few days, and shit availability, what negative things have been said about the 30X0 cards?

And actually checking memex's website right now, the bundles are listed as in store purchase only...bleh, have a feeling my order is going to be cancelled. Hope to be proven wrong but won't be surprised.

Memex just told me they are not going to honor my pre order, nice.

In person or called em? I was gonna head up before lunch to try and pick up

[pheoxs]

NW is out of 5800 and 5900x I guess. Went in and said they'd fill my order in a few weeks. Yet again bullshit by MemEx. 5800 is still showing in stock there too

I had an email & phone call to confirm that I wad first in line for a 5950X at the SE store. Today they tell me too bad, that didn't mean anything, and the 3 they had sold out before I could make it there. I wish we had other local options, they are the worst.

Amazon, Newegg and the other online retailers haven't posted their first wave of stock yet.

I will continue to go out of my way to avoid giving memex any of my money unless absolutely necessary.

[msommers]

Damn MemEx that sucks. I wonder if employees are getting first dibs.... "yeah someone came in and bought them all already, sorry bruh"

[ExtraSlow]

It's kinda a shame that the best local option doesn't have a particularly great reputation.

Oh ok, yeah I see the listings, they were just all OOS every time I checked.
