2 days left
also other neg is
-EA account to play the game
The expiry on that deal isn't current. The promotion was extended to June 30.
someone should fix that in that link
you got link to show it is extended?
might be good to put here in case people think it only has 2 days left.
Computer Alliance is good for Jedi Survivor, but FUTU online isn't on the list of participating outlets. I think buying from FUTU means you can't claim, can someone confirm?
Futu Online is an affiliate of Shopping Express, hence, you can claim a copy of the game.
it rubs the lotion and applies PWE22 code to the basket
Have you heard the song "it rubs the lotion on its skin"? Lmao couldn't stop laughing at it.
what is recommended motherboard to go with these CPU?
if someone can list a recommend PC spec build using this ebay sale promotion would be great.
purpose of pc = general PC usage + gaming etc
Probably better off getting a prebuilt from the PC builders that come on sale here. Their cost prices for components are often cheaper so it can be false economy buying components seperately - even on "sale".
yeah i regularly look at and consider buying those prebuilt PC
just cos it is much easier than deciding what parts we should choose (which can be hard and need to do lots of research etc)
Their biggest selling "factor" is the GPU and CPU..
But then looking at the boards, psu, storage, ram..
Just often times we know they are buying the cheapest brands or bare minimum boards etc.. to hit their target price.
And people often mention this in the comments.
The other issue is the long build time, some said it can take 1 month..
and warranty etc, if some failure occurs not sure how well they would handle the failed component.. etc
Also some people mention the parts they order were not what they received in some posts..
or were swap out for an alternative.
I do understand why those prebuilt pc deals are popular though
with their pros and cons as mention.
You often can't buy the components; especially GPU for anywhere near what they buy them for wholesale. This alone often negates any saving that would be made buying and assembling yourself.
The parts they use in my opinion are usually still of reasonable grade and are tested, as the PC builder does not want warranty claims and returns.
Personally I used to always buy Asus mobo and GPU, Samsung SSDs etc. but in recent times even these have had their issues so big names are no guarantee against failure.
Obviously everyone has different experiences, but with BPC tech, they had my build ready in 9 days. Good cable management as well, can’t fault them. Weren’t willing to let me buy a cooler separately and install it, though, had to do that myself.
IMO it depends in what you have and what you're looking at getting. If you need to buy a video card then you're gonna be SOL getting anywhere close to the prices offered in pre-built systems. So if you're looking to upgrade the GPU as well as CPU then pre-built looks very enticing. If you already have a good quality power supply then you can mitigate that factor by just swapping that in.
Storage drives are cheap enough to us consumers that I think they're hardly worth taking into account, worst case you end up with some spare storage you don't need and get a decent one (if you don't have one already).
Modern motherboards all seem good enough with VRMs so there's less danger of the system being gimped by a low quality motherboard. The only thing I would really take pause at is the RAM, but I think most builds will have something good enough except when it comes to DDR5 given its cost. Though I haven't even seen a DDR5 based pre-built.
But then, if all you need to upgrade is the CPU or something then there's not much point getting a pre-built unless you can negotiate a good price for them to build one without a graphics card. Or if you're looking to build a top-end system in which case yeah, you're going to want to hand pick the best components.
AM5 motherboards has been solid so far, even the cheapest boards has decent VRMs and connectivity. The Gigabyte B650 DS3H is $200, has 8 USB ports, a Type-C and a 10gbps Type-A port, and a solid VRM that can handle even the 7950X, for 99% of systems that's all you need really.

Maybe something like this, paired with the 7600 from the deal.
For the sake of saving future 7600x owners the trouble later, that CPU will absolutely punch it until it gets to 95 degrees, regardless of whether it needs to or not. Was pushing 5.5ghz without me even over clocking it during cyberpunk 2077, even though it was only at 40% use. Either get really overkill cooling, or set the voltage to limit at around 1.3v to 1.35v and clock speed limit to around 5ghz using ryzen master software. Will still perform fine without bottlenecking your GPU, but won’t get any hotter than 80 degrees. Averages around 60 degrees during gaming down from fluctuating between 80-90.
Thermalright Peerless Assassin/Phantom Spirit is only $60 and is more than sufficient to cool it. If its pushing 5.5ghz though you definitely have PBO turned on even if you don't know (manufacturer default), stock only should be boosting to 5.3ghz single core max.
You understand that's by design right? My understanding is that you basically don't need to overclock AMD CPUs anymore. When there's enough load, they will automatically ramp up until they hit the thermal limit, which I believe is 95 deg Celsius from factory. With better cooling, they might hit a voltage ceiling before hitting the thermal limit, which should in theory extend the life of your components, but according to AMD, 95 should be safe.
In theory, but there’s no need for it. When GPU is running at 100% utilisation and CPU is running at 40% utilisation, why is the CPU pushing itself to 90 degrees? It’s a good CPU, it’s not going to bottleneck unless you’ve got a 4090, and even then, I’m not sure it’d even bottleneck. Keep it cooler, save yourself the stress of having your computer mainlining when it doesn’t need to be.
Is it better to OC and undervolt via the motherboard BIOS or just use Ryzen Master?
Can do either honestly. I found ryzen master easier, but you’ve gotta manually load your profile whenever you restart your computer
I'll play around with it. Cheers.
there is less than 5% between 7600x and non x, good price for tons of grunt, just sell your liver to fund the motherboard
For $303 The non X 7600 is the sweet spot for gaming thats what I got .
How does the 7950X compete with Intel's flagship for gaming/general purpose?
They're pretty close, but I think the 13900K has a slight lead. Close enough that you could just buy on price, unless you spend all day gaming/compiling code (in which case you need to DYOR so you can wring the last bit of performance out of whichever platform you choose).
Intel had the benefit of cheaper motherboards and you can use your old DDR4 ram on some motherboards. But prices of AM5 motherboards and DDR5 has come down lately.
Was in the same boat. Ended up with AMD only because of the commitment to AM5 till 2025. And going by track record of AMD, looks positive. Intel on the other hand is the final platform.
There is also some finnicky BS that can happen around Intels P\E core architecture on Windows 10. If you're on Windows 11, no issues.
It's not a constant either, it's just something that CAN pop up if you're doing a task that triggers it.
7600 OOS
7600X a good option to pair with 4070?
