Asus Maximus X Apex Release Date?

[Smffy]

I am chasing APEX date now and Formula too.

Legend, although I’ve got the retail CPU on preorder (delid etc myself) and custom water so not sure a bundle would be available for retail CPU/board/mems and maybe EK block (mono if z170/270 is compatible)?

Just to check also, Forumla is the same as Code but just has the EK G1/4 on the VRM cooling?

Great news I am waiting in anticipation for the Formula board...

Any update on this boards release date?

As soon as it arrives in disti it's out.

When’s that then

If he knew you would know now. Looks to me he doesn't know yet? Formula is in Nov I hear.

I am awaiting Asus Taiwan to confirm shipping schedule still.

Coolio, still says October on ROG so presume a preorder is possible once you get your pricing sorting (past the $349 RRP)?

A few european mainland retailers have just put the board up for pre-order. They're suggesting availability from 23rd Oct.

No idea how legitimate that is, but its more information. I was hoping for it before then really. Is there info on when the Taichi is available? That might have to be a second choice for me based on 8Pack suggesting it had really good memory performance for a 4DIMM board. That's unless there's another 2DIMM board available that looks like it offers enough, going to go do some more research.

Awaiting proper confirmation from 8Pack. Hoping the release might be sooner and that these euro sites might have sketchy information. Wishful thinking...

Hopefully it does release soon! I'll probably wait till the 19th for info and if it's a way off I'll go for the Hero or Godlike. Just got my new C700P case and 8700k sitting here waiting to be used.

The Godlike pricing is madness... I think about a week for the Apex will be worth it.

Just seen that some Hong Kong retailers now have the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS X APEX in stock for HK $2,880.00

Hopefully it should be coming very soon!

£280 rough conversion. That's £350 in the UK then...

 

[Smffy]

Yeah from the RRP in dollars would be something like £330 ok price, £350 possible price...

Went with the Hero since I'm not going to wait forever

Noooooo! I’m committed to wait now... as long as I can get it built for November I’m happy.

Probably reasonable resale in my Ryzen so all good, given I can sell it prebuilt 4.0 stable, 4.1 max.

[Redacted] already has it, right? I'm just waiting on the Formula

Probably remove the competitor name buddy... but it says arriving soon and states 3rd November which I hope is wrong!

Price looks acceptable though...

Amended, thanks for pointing that out. And it's been pushed back, it was quoting the 22nd at the time of posting :/

22nd would be nice but not so sure stock lands on Sunday ... hoping it’s landing at distributors next week so I can get my build updated the week after!
