Sorry for the late reply, Z! For memory I went with this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1
For case: I went with this : https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0?ie=UTF8&th=1
My configuration for that case is using 5 intake fans ... 3 on the back side, 2 on the bottom. Radiator mount on top with fans configured to push the hot air out to the top. Works nicely so far and also kept my VRM and other stuff cool. I'm crunching WCG full load and cpu temp averaging around 73C at 4ghz.

Thanks for the info! I will hold off ordering the memory until the CPU actually ships, in hope of the 32gb version of the DIMMs becoming available. Does anyone have any insight to when that will be? The announce said Q4 2019, so I guess they have a few more days before they are officially late.

Thanks JPM. The 32gb dimms for sale following the link are all 2666. Are you suggesting I use those, rather than 8x16 at 3200?

I see the 3200 is sold out. I'd definitely hold out for that. They're supposed to be releasing 3600 too. Haven't seen a date yet though

You want it to be as close to 3733 as possible for best performance. 3200 is fine if you're willing to overclock.

According to the update you provided, it says "Q1 2020". And that usually means "by the end of", so March 31, 2020. I can't wait that long.

I guess I will go with 4x16 for now, and hope no high-memory projects need crunching for a while (or run with HT off).

Thanks for all the help!

Wow! I find it very surprising that there is no premium compared to 2x of the 3970X. Nice!

Now I will need fast 64gb DIMMs...

Samsung just showed off a 6.5GB/s m.2 SSD today. 980 Pro. Not available yet

any good cooler / aio you think might be able to cool the 3990X? I really don't want to go to the custom loop route

EVGA CLC 360. In fact EVGAs CLC series coolers outperform pretty much every other cooler on any system, regardless of CPU. Also the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Riing is realy good. There might be others but don't know off the top of my head. Pretty certain about EVGA being the best though.
