Asus is known for this. It's way overdue for them to be called out.

nothing really. it looks decent but no one has done any proper reviews on that brand. one amazon review says its got some good weight to it, which is usually a good sign. its actually kinda tempting at that price...

I would buy it for that price. 10 year warranty, sold by the official SAMA store and fulfilled by Newegg. And Newegg is the RMA processor according to this (on the About Us page.) If it was crap, the storefront would have way worse reviews and...

Boycott Asus phones until they allow you to unlock the bootloader. They are dragging their feet and it's absolutely BS you don't have control over a device you purchase that isn't from a carrier. At this point who knows if they will ever allow...

Why were you annoyed after you bought the motherboard? You knew very well going into it what the expansion slots were. You didn't even have to look at the manual, simply a picture of the motherboard could do. But I would always suggest looking...

Good stuff, thanks for the input everyone. I'm just running memtest on it with XMP on before I send it out. $526 with tax, for a 7800X3D, nice B650 mobo, and 64GB Hynix M-die kit. Even with shipping, should be a pretty damn good deal. Just...

I'd leave the CPU installed, put the motherboard in the anti-static bag and then just wrap the board in bubble wrap if you don't have the original box for it. I've sent boards out like that and have never had issues. Generally, I don't take any...

Every Pixel phone I've ever had, I immediately unlock the bootloader. This gives you the freedom to flash any build of Google's Factory Images at any point. I even update them this way, by changing the line in the flash-all.bat from "fastboot...

It's fine to ship it with the CPU installed already. The RAM I would not leave installed. And yea usually the RAM box is small so it should fit fine.

Based on the images a NewEgg reviewer posted, your best bet might be 3D printing a mount to jerry-rig a fan to the 2U cooler and blasting air through its fins (and dealing with the resulting noise), or installing the board into a case intended to...

$216 is even hotter at Microcenter. :D From another forum: "Pick from a selection of motherboards and ram (you don't have to use the default bundle they offer), then add the 7800x3d to cart and the 7800x3d drops to $216 in price as part of the...

All this complaining about a 12-core 3D-cache CPU for $300... Unreal.

I know. I've made that point tons of times on this forum. I think it's no secret to anyone that frequents this place that I'm a huge fan of the chip (and the AM5 line in general). I have one myself. I love it. What I'm not a fan of, when...

The current price is great and its new MSRP of $400 is decent. It's for the budget workstation that wants to game- it's not that much more than a 7900X at MSRP. This is a better value for me than the 7800X3D as I don't play games that can use 6...

The 7900X3D's launch price was an even bigger pricing misfire for AMD than the 7900XT was.

Makes plenty of sense. Its 13700k/7900x multicore performance (which is a lot better than 7800X3D multicore), paired with AMD's 3rd best gaming performance (and that is to say, about 10fps average behind a 7800X3D)----which is still better than...

The point is that the 7800X3D is a lot cheaper than a 14900k. But, matches or beats it in gaming. And uses 1/2 to 1/3 the power, in gaming. The product segmentation compared to Intel, is great. With Intel, you have to buy their most expensive...
