Just don't preorder on amazon.This is the first and last time I pre-order anything. What's the point of pre-ordering to get something on release if you end up waiting util who knows when.
I have never had one do anything for me.I chatted with an Amazon rep named Roselyn. I showed her the order # and she was like, "uh is it okay if I expedite your shipment?" and I was like "Yeah, please do". No update on the order details yet. We'll see how it goes.
They at least acted like they wanted to solve the problem. Looks to me like they oversold pre-orders, or there was a mixup somewhere.
I can totally sympathize with you, Amazon froze my account this past Sunday or Monday for no reason at all.Had to jump through all kinds of hoops to reset my password and gain access again.Oh and wouldn't ya know it that they conveniently unfroze it after they sold out of the motherboard and heatsink I was after.I swear they screw with people who aren't part of there little Prime club.Personally I am starting to think Amazon is the worst E-tailers specially since they started all that Tax stuff...Really starting to dislike Amazon. Not just for this, but they automatically locked my account this weekend for some antifraud measure (apparently buying a gift card is a red flag) and instead of actually giving that error message it just said my password was incorrect. Attempted password reset about a dozen times before they finally got back to me 2 days later and unlocked it.

No way. I got prime, and you don't get any special treatment. They don't care.I can totally sympathize with you, Amazon froze my account this past Sunday or Monday for no reason at all.Had to jump through all kinds of hoops to reset my password and gain access again.Oh and wouldn't ya know it that they conveniently unfroze it after they sold out of the motherboard and heatsink I was after.I swear they screw with people who aren't part of there little Prime club.Personally I am starting to think Amazon is the worst E-tailers specially since they started all that Tax stuff...
By the way I love that 3D printed Motherboard Emblem, Very cool. Wish I had a 3d Printer
I dont get why the box is so big when it doesnt even come with a heatsink.Although I do love the color scheme as it matches perfectly with the Ubuntu O/S retail packaging. I get my 1800x delivered tomorrow or Sat by the latest. Very excited, I cant wait!!

I heard the 1700x and 1800x will eventually be bundled with the wraith max cooler.
Oh I wish that was true!! I would kill to get me one of those Wraith Max Led Coolers. So pretty, like a rave party LOL. For $500 bucks they should comp us with something. Heck I'de take a T-shirt.Well, there goes my prediction that there'd be a T-shirt in the box (even one of those Vega ones would be nice).
Hmm, I wonder if they'll comp those who bought those CPUs already.

Usually, the process does get better as time goes on, that is no secret.I'm leaning towards cancelling my preorder and waiting it out a few months but part of me wonders if the initial batch of 1700 chips will be better due to the fact that AMD will have more time to work out their binning system in the future and the three R7 chips will show more disparity in their overclocking potential. Thoughts?

Is anyone able to clock 4 dual rank sticks higher than 2133 or 2400mhz?
I read somewhere (can't remember where from the 4-5 reviews I read yesterday) that Wraith Max bundles for the 1700X and 1800X will only be for OEMs and SIs.I heard the 1700x and 1800x will eventually be bundled with the wraith max cooler.
I very much doubt that. If they release a fan-included SKU, it'll probably carry a small price premium. Might not be more than $5, but it'll be there.Hmm, I wonder if they'll comp those who bought those CPUs already.
Official numbers from AMD (here, scroll down) say 1866MHz max for 4-dimm dual-rank. As such, getting 2133 is a good result.Is anyone able to clock 4 dual rank sticks higher than 2133 or 2400mhz?
