I'm interested in using the i9 9900k in my build. I'm a little concerned because it's such a new part. You can't even get it at retail yet. I'm worried because I noticed some system builders having issues incorporating the new AMD's Threadrippers. Should I hold off for a little and let DS work out any hiccups in the build process?

We've had access to these new parts for a while now (before launch). Our team has already performed validation testing (benchmarks, thermals, stability) ahead of time. You're safe.

Thanks! At work, we had a different vendor build us a system with an AMD Threadripper 2990x. It had arrived late because the vendor had issues with the build process. When it arrived, it still had issues! Somehow it passed QA despite booting consistently with a fan error!?!??!!

BTW, your firm was also under consideration for the build.

I encourage you to purchase your next system with us than the vendor you used. You'll see a difference.

We had AMD 2990X CPUs before official launch from AMD to begin internal testing and validation on our PCs.
