I’m here to leave a review about the seller. I highly recommend cooperation - excellent packaging, pleasant and fast communication, reasonable prices, product compliance with the description - in general, the best of sellers . I bought 3 brand new EPYC 7763 processors for my new Asus server - they fit like family! I haven’t installed the third one yet (I’m thinking about buying 1 more or maybe I’ll check it over the weekend). In general, feel free to buy! The transaction was through a money transfer Zelle - I was a bit worried, but the seller is reliable! I think this is not our last deal! Thanks a lot!
Here some pictures of the setup:

Thank you @automobile. Amazing setup -- if you need RAM for the machine, let me know :)
Also, the EPYC CPUs you have installed now are possibly fused to that ASUS Server. Be careful with using the 3rd proc on that.

Thanks! I installed 3200 8 Gb sticks for a while, but I can't stop licking my lips while seeing that 128 Gb TruDDR Samsung memory ))
I didn't know that ASUS servers are "fusable"... I'm going to install the 3rd on my Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 board just to check it - will it also be fused? I know that Dell\Lenovo servers do this, but didn't hear about ASUS or Supermicro servers - so, guys, who else are using ASUS servers - do they fuse installed CPUs? I definitely knew that Supermicro doesn't, but ASUS...
UPD: Didn't find any proof that ASUS server locks installed CPUs. Here some "proof" that ASUS doesn't.

Does ASUS really lock EPYCs?? That would be a huge problem because there is very little second-hand ASUS hardware. Those EPYCs would then be virtually worthless..

I didn't find any evidence that ASUS servers lock the CPU installed. Moreover, that is only true about Lenovo and Dell servers. Even HP doesn't lock their EPYCs.

Are you sure about HPE? Which BIOS versions? I know HPE at a certain BIOS version decides to fuse the AMD CPUs.

Here @RolloZ170 said "seems", but no other evidences regarding HPE vendor-locked EPYCs...
Also here that HP doesn't lock their EPYCs.

Yup... I am going to find some HPE machines and test this. If HPE doesn't lock the CPUs, then this place will have a few more "For Sale AMD EPYC CPUs" in the thread ...

I've relieved @Hazily2019 from all the Kingston 32GB modules he had in stock. The package came quickly, with memory modules packed very carefully, and well protected from damage during shipping.
After passing a several-days long torture test with memtest, memory went into production, and works without any hiccups until today.

Extra kudos to @RolloZ170 for sharing valuable information about memory compatibility with skylake processors (https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/mixing-memory-ranks.43502/#post-416036), and helping me avoid a costly mistake.

Update - You guys sure know how to buy these DIMMs in bulk =) DIMM Clamshells have been ordered and waiting delivery. Pending orders will be shipped by early next week... Individual messages have been sent and payment will be accepted when ready to ship (since I don't like holding on to other people's money for an extended period of time)
