Circaflex Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 Was looking to throw together a high-end Intel or AMD rig and it seems everything high-end, is sold out for both parties. Is there something new on the horizon? I know intel has the new chipset coming, which is a socket change, so I was leaning towards x570 and AMD but I cannot find any boards in stock.

Jim K Global Moderator Posted May 12, 2020 Global Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2020 Sure does appear to be a shortage (looking at NewEgg and Amazon for x570...practically nothing). Kind of weird that I haven't seen any articles about shortages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindovermaster Moderator Posted May 12, 2020 Moderator Share Posted May 12, 2020 COVID-19 virus, it hurts us all. Delivery is slow, and the board manufacturers are playing low... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Warwagon MVC Posted May 12, 2020 MVC Share Posted May 12, 2020 Getting highly annoyed with amazon.. ordered a laptop replacement fan on May 1st and it will be arriving tomrrow, and it said prime. Amazon needs to give out some serious refunds on prime memberships otherwise they may seem a large amounts of Prime cancellations. Lets just say if I was paying monthly for Prime I would cancel. jnelsoninjax and seeprime 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Circaflex Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 It makes sense, I was just somewhat surprised to see high-end parts also on short supply. Oh well, the build can wait. waysidesc 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imagine how long it'd take without prime... I had several day delays, maybe up to a week back on March, I'm back down to 1 day delivery now for most items.

The inbound-shipping problem affects every retailer and etailer - including Amazon. Atop that, Amazon is diverting ALL shipping resources to domestic Covid-19 priorities. Read Amazon's blog - they state it there rather plainly. Our family are Prime members; however I'm the designated chaser for shipping issues; it's why I read Amazon's blog - at minimum - weekly.

goretsky Supervisor Posted May 12, 2020 Supervisor Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hello, I have used both eBay and Newegg to purchase computer parts online when they were not available for immediate delivery via Amazon. If you have a store like Best Buy or Micro Center within driving distance that offers curb-side delivery (e.g., order online and pick up at store) then than might be an option for you as well.

A good way to increase profits. Create shortage and increase prices for the shortfall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Even the Egg has been out of stock 😞 I called my local microcenter and they too had nothing really available and couldnt give me an eta on when stock would arrive. It's all good though, I am safe and healthy so this is just my selfish side wanting to pass time. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
