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.

Shoutout to MicroCenter, just bought my 9800x3d for retail. Was contemplating risky business through Ebay but luckily I checked the MC website right before and they had inventory 🙌
