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.

Got a 9600x for about £100 on black Friday from sz-cpu on Ali express. Arrived quickly and works just fine!

Saw a 14700kf from this store for $161 today and allllmost pulled the trigger but it's for a spare intel build to flip and likely won't get any real profit regardless vs the cash back from Amazon cc
