Look up Canada Computers

They seem to want to sell DDR5 in bundles only.

Have any luck? I'm in the same boat, and all the Bundle deals on Canada Computers are "pick up in store only" and not available in Halifax >.>

^^^^ The bundled deals are a farce....as you can make it right to check out and find out the DDR5 is not available. I would sat that CC is simply has no DDR5 at all.....so why do they advertise "in stock" ?......so you will purchase and they sell another Mobo....you will still be in the same boat...trying to get your mitts on DDR5 modules.
Or you can purchase a Dominator kit from scalpers on ebay for $2K! (not likely, hope they choke on them).
I see lots of GSkill products now showing up on Egg Canada site (out of stock), perhaps thats a good sign as there have been regular drops on Egg USE site ......getting better.

May have a chance at some Kingston Fury....we'll see....not in too big of a rush as they're still working on the Apex / Extreme BIOS updates to get around "issues"..with XMP profiles...... soon though

No luck here, I have an order in at memory express that’s waiting on the Corsair ram and the sales associate said they have no ETA and they actually hadn’t received any DDR5 yet (that was a week ago).

So I get to sit here looking at my 12700k and ASUS MB while I wait…

Memory Express had "Back Order" option available, but for "Pick up" only, not online orders >.>
If you live near one of the local stores keep checking for the back order option.
the CC in my city only had a Single DDR5 Kingston stick... 1 stick... who buys a single stick lol.
CC advised me to call them and check for stock, said online is not accurate for DDR5 stock in the local store :/

Yeah I see Memex took there Dominator kits off they're web site all together....seems only single sticks Kingston possibly being available...fvck it...grab two single sticks if its all you can get......
As long as they're identical sticks w same timings should be fine!

There are so many issues right now with Boards running XMP Profiles (until they sort it out w BIOS updates), likely only be ble run them at 4800 Mhz anyhow....for now.

I'm guessing that the whole timing thing is dependent on whether there was a shift of who the chip mfr was and you happened to get one stick from each mfr when you bought two singles?
