    I'll buy this cpu when it comes down to around $550. Bloody motherboard I want will be more expensive than the cpu.

    I am always unsure on buying components from ebay. If something goes wrong, is it really just the 30 days warranty on this, seems risky these days.
    (I dont actually expect people to be able to speak for the seller, I have contacted them as well this was more just a discussion point)

    • Wicko on 18/05/2023 - 08:44

      I guess the good thing about most components is that if they are faulty then you'll know within 30 days.

      • TheIronDuckling on 18/05/2023 - 08:49
        +1

        True, the 30 days will cover DoA components, but with the recent, exploding CPU issues (and previous PSU etc) there could be issues coming up a few months down the track. potentially the manufacturer would cover this maybe.

    • astevens on 18/05/2023 - 08:51

      In my experience buying from KS, as it's new you get a tax invoice - use that for any warranty claims (though you're likely going to need to RMA it yourself talking to the manufacturer).
      I've had to do this with an ASUS router I got via ebay that died within the warranty period. I had no issues though… YMMV

      • TheIronDuckling on 18/05/2023 - 08:52

        right, so (in your experience) its pretty much the same warranty, except you have to manage the RMA instead of just taking it back to the store and having them manage it?

    • ihuntbargains on 18/05/2023 - 08:53

      is it really just the 30 days warranty on this

      No?
      ACL and manufacturer warranty cover you.

        +1

        Great, sorry if it was a stupid question.
        Haven't bought PC parts for ages, so its regular coverage but you have to deal with it yourself. The regular stores just offer the management process (Sometimes) for you.

        • ihuntbargains on 18/05/2023 - 09:00
          +3

          They're brand new parts from a legitimate business.
          You'll be covered the exact same as if it were from a physical store, just without the "physical" aspect.
          They (online stores) can help you, but you'll probably have an easier time just dealing directly with the manufacturer. And most of them will tell you to do so.

    • Lps on 18/05/2023 - 09:37

      is it really just the 30 days warranty

      Yes - unless ASUS - then no warranty whatsoever

      • stealthpaw on 23/05/2023 - 09:17

        All new products come with a warranty, including ASUS.

      30 days is the return window isn't it?
      It should have the same manufacturer warranty period as any other component bought from a brick and mortar store..?

    Just hold off a few weeks on installing it & update your motherboard to the lastest bios to avoid the SOC Voltage frying the chip/board issue

      My CPU and Asus mobo arrived the day all started going down lmao.

      I’m on the latest bios update from Asus and everything is running great (so far)…

      It’s a shame because this CPU is a beast

        Mine was a few weeks before, although I've got the 7700x. I held off the beta bios updates until Asus walked back their BS warranty voiding claims, but am on the latest AGESA 1.0.0.6 bios until they release an updated 1.0.0.7 for my board, which just checking looks like it's been released overnight.
        Time to go flash the machine, again

    If you're buying this CPU from KS to pair with a new motherboard

    1. Buy a non-ASUS motherboard that has BIOS flashback
    2. Flash the mobo to the latest BIOS with latest AGESA using a USB stick
    3. Then install the CPU, XMP/EXPO RAM and everything else

    Even if your board doesn't have flashback, you can still install the CPU first before flashing the BIOS

    Just ensure you do not activate XMP/EXPO or tweak any BIOS settings before the flash

      We're told that failures have occurred with all motherboard brands, including Biostar, ASUS, MSI, Gigabyte, and ASRock.

      https://www.tomshardware.com/news/amd-ryzen-7000-burning-out…

      So I don't think "non-ASUS" is going to save you - I guess I've heard more press surrounding ASUS boards though.

      • Masticccc on 18/05/2023 - 11:38

        The point of "non-Asus" is that they totally push the responsible of exploding MB out of them, while other brands do a bit of cover

        • dsgfh on 18/05/2023 - 13:36

          They've been forced to back right off from that over the last couple of days after Gamers Nexus went to town with their failure analysis & called out their BS.
          In the last couple of days they've stated they're still warrant beta bioses & have removed the EXPO/XMP warnings.

          Shit that they needed to be forced into it, but glad they've been pulled into line.

      • DreadEmperor on 18/05/2023 - 13:26

      • DeToxin on 19/05/2023 - 08:03

        The issue was that Asus was actively trying to void people's warranties for completely normal usage - unlike the other manufacturers.

    • cloudie9 on 18/05/2023 - 09:36

      With the recent fiasco with CPU cooking, I would stay away…

      • shellshocked on 18/05/2023 - 12:11

        Been using a 7900x3d since launch no issue with multiple workloads. Just made sure that the motherboard maker was keeping within AMD specifications for voltages.

    • Wicko on 18/05/2023 - 09:37
      +4

      If you only really play games plus minor productivity -> this
      If you do a fair bit of productivity work (rendering) -> 13900k

      • shellshocked on 18/05/2023 - 12:14

        If you really truly going to be redering get a 7950x because the TDP on that 13900k will go through the roof. Have feedback from colleagues who bought a 13900k to render, which throttle because the 360 AIO can't keep up with the high TDP.

        • DeToxin on 19/05/2023 - 08:05

          Wasn't there a video where LTT hooked up a 13900k to an industrial cooling unit and it still couldnt stop it from throttling?

    • CB2 on 18/05/2023 - 09:53

      Where did you find 13900k for $800? I seem to only be able to find it around $850. Cheers

        The main selling point for the 7800X3D for me was it's efficiency. 13900K still seems impossible to cool

    • Gamer Dad Reviews on 18/05/2023 - 11:36

      13900K every day and twice on sundays.
      Jufes from FrameChasers has proved that it is faster than 7800X3D for gaming Max Overclock vs Max Overclock: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytpVOFvbv8w&t=862s

      • shellshocked on 18/05/2023 - 12:18
        +2

        But the 7800x3d uses a fraction of the power to game and is easy to cool vs the 13900k.

        43w for 7800x3d vs over 143w for the 13900k

        https://www.techpowerup.com/review/amd-ryzen-7-7800x3d/23.ht…

        So you can save money on cooling and power supply vs the 13900k for similar performance.

  • senpai on 18/05/2023 - 11:59

    I built an AM5 build with the 7700X from a previous deal waiting for this CPU to drop, but with how buggy things have been with random crashes and unstable boots I kinda wish I went with a 13900K instead.

    This is a decent price but just know the random headaches that come with AM5

    • basketballfreak6 on 18/05/2023 - 12:19

      Just curious what sort of issues you having? I built a 7700X system too and it's rock solid even with heavily tweaked memory and undervolted CPU where I am easily getting 5.5GHz in lighter loads and close to 5.2GHz all core in Cinebench on air cooling.

      I did have issue with CPU not wanting to play nice with 6200MHz memory though (which I underclocked to 6000MHz but with much tighter timings which would perform way better than stock XMP profile anyway).

    • pinkybrain on 18/05/2023 - 17:38

      what motherboard you got?

      How much total cost?

      How much would the intel build cost?
      And what board would you get?

      Also how do you know intel won't have some other issues?

      The downside is the intel would use more energy and increase your energy cost each year
