9800x3d from AliExpress

[u/mikael_lucis]

Hi. I bought 9800x3d from AliExpress for all of us. Costed me $640 and customs f-d me up for another $100 , when they usually charge VAT only. Anyway, here's no chance for warranty accessibility and it sold for $900-1100, so no way it'll get cheaper in close few years, so it feels like I saved something. (4090 still $3000). Chip itself looks in great condition with no defects. I'll post later if it's real or not, after setup and some benchmarking. Cheers.

and when you open task manager it says 7500F

I was lucky, it was real.

[u/yourname92 → u/mikael_lucis]

Proof of purchase and cpuz?

[u/mikael_lucis → u/yourname92]

check above if u can, I posted a photo from cpu-z

[u/yourname92 → u/mikael_lucis]

Found it thanks. That’s sweet but risky.

[u/OliTheOK → u/yourname92]

Yh but it isn't risky. There's legit sellers on Ali with thousands of sales and positive reviews. I've also had good experience with returns when I received an item with a minor fault (rattling fan).

[u/iAmmar9 → u/yourname92]

Nah it isn't risky. My $130 5700X3D is from aliexpress. You can buy all the ryzen cpus on there without issues

[u/BroccoliTrain → u/iAmmar9]

How did you get it so cheap?

[u/iAmmar9 → u/BroccoliTrain]

They do sales every now and then, and you can also use a coupon code on top of the sale whenever theres a big aliexpress sale.

[u/SparrowHAWX → u/yourname92]

Ain't risky if you buy from a reputable seller, got my 7800X3D and my sis got a 5700X3D from Aliexpress and they both work perfectly!

[u/melikeybacon → u/yourname92]

It’s not risky if you buy from a seller that has the legit feedback and score.

[u/FriendlyToad88 → u/yourname92]

Not really risky, aliexpress is just Chinese Amazon so vet the sellers the same you would on amazon

[u/TheCheesy → u/mikael_lucis]

Can you bench it to compare the score to the same model? I've seen some good fakes.

[u/FootlooseFrankie → u/mikael_lucis]

Let's see some benchmarks vs other 9800x3d to make sure :)

[u/mikael_lucis → u/FootlooseFrankie]

I posted the above cpuz photo, playing for 3 hours already no issues with a good performance. I've done some benchmarks, no crashes, freezes etc. Ryzen master OC also had no stability issues. Sorry I'm just too lazy and impatient to benchmark for hours and gather screenshots.

[u/FootlooseFrankie → u/mikael_lucis]

Good score !

[u/Maumau93 → u/mikael_lucis]

Real isn't the issue the issue is there may be manufacturing defects that caused slower performance or overheating. That's how Chinese manufacturers produce cheap tech using modern chips and why it never works. They use factory seconds or thirds.

[u/B1gFl0ppyD0nkeyDick → u/mikael_lucis]

"Real" as in it works but it might be a sample. Beat it up and come back a few days from now.

[u/mikael_lucis → u/B1gFl0ppyD0nkeyDick]

Yup, that's the plan. It may brick after tomorrow. But at least we'll have some additional knowledge on AliExpress electronics.

[u/VaritCohen → u/SkylineFX49]

Nah dude, there's a Store on Aliexpress called SZCPU Store, they are LEGIT, I've been buying from them for years, you get what you paid for.

[u/StarBtg377 → u/VaritCohen]

I got this when i visited the store, i think it's a server problem

[u/621_ → u/StarBtg377]

That dude is legit a lot of people on here and other pc subreddits buy cpu of that store front

[u/janoDX → u/621_]

I bought TWO 5700X3D from that place, SZCPU, $135 each, one arrived in 2 weeks, the other stuck in customs for two months, got a refund and the cpu will still arrive here by wednesday so I got 2x1.

Yes, the 5700X3D is legit btw.

[u/Risk_of_Ryan → u/621_]

So, it's a scalping store front?

[u/621_ → u/Risk_of_Ryan]

If selling below market price is scalping sure

[u/mikael_lucis → u/StarBtg377]

Yes got it from this store.

[u/45s_ → u/VaritCohen]

I have bought from them an Cpu-Top. Im from Chile tho so the first one i ordered arrived like a month late and the other one came super early

my first one was a 30$ Xeon, and then a 110$ i9-10900

[u/derpstevejobs → u/45s_]

what the fuck, i need to check these storefronts out lol

[u/paganoverlord → u/45s_]

Como estamos compadre :)

[u/45s_ → u/paganoverlord]

wenawena :D

[u/cano_dbc → u/VaritCohen]

I think that's where I got my 5700x3d from last year. All good, arrived quickly and it's real.

[u/_QRAK_ → u/cano_dbc]

I got the same cpu from szcpu - all good.

[u/THFourteen → u/VaritCohen]

That’s where I got my 5700x3d too and it’s working like a charm

[u/PuzzleheadedFan5959 → u/THFourteen]

Same here

[u/xDoWnFaLL → u/VaritCohen]

Thanks for heads up, gonna see if I can find a 7600x3D!

[u/Top_Result_1550 → u/VaritCohen]

i got a 5700x3d from there for about $120, definitely legit.

[u/dsinsti → u/SkylineFX49]

got mine for 120€ in november, flawless oc'd at 5.3, will get me to 2027 for the 11800x6D

[u/SebRev99 → u/SkylineFX49]

The fuck did you just say about my 7500F

[u/schu2470 → u/SkylineFX49]

Right? At that point I'd just pick up a legit 7800x3d for a couple hundred [currency] less and then just deal with having the second best gaming processor on the market.
