ATL on the 9700x?
Seems like a reputable enough seller with 4.8 starts from 112 reviews and 700+ sold.
As mentioned below by @Auspcbuilda it seems to be a generic warning. I ordered the 7700 from a previous deal from Computer Quality Global store and it was fine. Here's a pic I took for the aliexpress review.

The tamper seal was intact and there was no sign of use (e.g. marks on pads) on the CPU itself. CPU benchmarks as expected in Passmark so no concerns about authenticity.
It's just a generic thing on all these tray CPU's. AM5 CPU's don't even have pins to bend.
Nice price. Might as well grab a 7700 for less though if you're just gaming.
Incorrect - see my comment down lower. 9700x is as fast or faster than 7800X3D if you tune it properly, and a lot faster than the 7700x.
What do you think is faster in gaming between the 7700 (non-x) and 9600 (non-x)? They appear to be about the same price on ali.
9600 imo. But it depends on a lot of variables.
One day AMD will stop price gouging the local stock
this is what happens when a company no longer has a worthy competitor (intel)
nvidia is also doing the same thing to AMD in GPU market
well people were very confident that AMD is a company of the people, 'they wont do it! they care about us!'
Now for the past year we have been gouged and you wont hear a peep about it, thats how they get away with it
I guess I'd just get a normal Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7 from here :/
"1.The CPU is brand new and will be shipped loose! Minor surface wear, bent pins, or stains are normal. Please do not purchase if you mind these conditions."
since when is buying a new cpu with bent pins considered "normal" even though it might be cheap its stil a big gamble
Do these CPUs actually have pins? I thought they didn’t?
If you bought a 9000 series with pins, you've been scammed. Only AM4 had pins.
same happened to me, the last CPU which I had pins was Socket 478 Pentium 4 for me. amazed after getting my first AMD cpu, 5600x.
No am5 has the pins on the board… There are only contacts on a 9700x
AM5 is a land grid array (LGA) so the pins are in the socket on the mobo
I think you will find that they have this on all of their listings.
I think is just a generic line they put in the description.
I say they would have written it once and copy and paste it into all their listings, as it does seem to be in all their listings.
If youve worked in a retail store before, they're basically telling you they're selling Tray CPU's (no box) and they've used chinapost before, knowong that even thick hard cardboard wont survive the trip.
There's really no gamble, it's incredibly hard to damange a cpu with no pins. Even the few exposed smd's are shielded by the heatspreader.
Code doesn't work for me
Yeah they get used, wait until restock!
any advantage of this over the much cheaper ryzen 7 7700?
Efficiency mostly, and a small ipc boost depending on usecase.
Efficiency mostly.. NO the 9700X uses more power then a ryzen 7 7700 .. after checking the reviews.
The ryzen 7 7700X is the one the 9700X is more efficient over :) same goes the 9600X vs 7600 (Non X) i guess the lower clock speeds help them draw less power
Using more power isnt a mark of inefficiency.
The instructions per watt should be up on the 9000 series, allowing it to return to idle sooner.
@MasterScythe: YES if using these for processing work.. but 99% of people just use their PC as a web browser youtube video player so that means the lower idle and boost clock's of the 7600 and 7700 give them a lower power draw. also while gaming too.. :) i guess if its for APPs only of things needing 512AVX the Zen5 chips are the way to go.
I'm interesting in the Zen 9600 (non X).. looks like a great all rounder CPU
I am thinking of getting the CPU from AliExpress but how is the shipping duration like? My experience in the past is like 1+ month…
Mine was 2 weeks. Ryzen 7500F
These are Brilliant and Massively under-rated CPUs.
They are as fast in Gaming workloads, and faster in Productivity workloads, than the Ryzen 7 7800X3D - as proven by a literal Rocket Scientist:

This old chestnut
I'd pass. I guess I prefer my CPUs abnormal
