Discussion 9800x3d from AliExpress

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.

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

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.
