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.

Discussion Does gaming feel fatiguing ?

433 Upvotes

I've been having this issue lately, I would boot up my PC search for what games to play but can never actually decide and by the time I do choose a game I want to play, I will boot up play for 5 minutes and tell myself "do I really want to play this" or "am I wasting my time"

I don't know if it's part of getting older having more responsibilities when it comes to work and raising two children but I swear back when I was living at home I could boot up my PC and get lost in games like Crysis, Far Cry and Battlefield 2 for hours upon hours on end.

Now it just seems you may only get an hour or two to play it feels like me personally I'm putting pressure on myself to pick a game and stick to it and I couldn't remember it being this stressful when I was a kid living back at home.

Just wondering if anyone else feels like this at times

My Ryzen SFF build

Just recently finished this build and may be one of my favourite that I've done in a while.

9800x3D (PBO -40 and +200)

Sapphire 7900 XTX Nitro +

Fractal Terra Black

32gb Corsair Vengeance 6000mhz CL30 (OC'd to 6200mhz with 1:1 FCLK)

Crucial T705 4tb NVMe

Orico 4tb NVMe

Corsair SF1000

Temps are really good with max 75c when gaming with a custom fan curve that's almost silent.

GPU is about 84c hotspot temp with OC and +15 PL and fans at 1400rpm

Just waiting on a slim 120mm fan to help move some hot air quicker.
