Not the sharpest deal by a long shot so most ozbargainers should pass this by or hand in their ozb licence. BUT, if you don't buy from AliExpress for whatever reason maybe it'll float your boat.

Sold and shipped by Amazon US, few dollars cheaper than July deal and I believe cheaper than any other retailer in Aus at the moment?

    For those trying to price compare, you're looking at about $520 net if you stack everything up that's available, maybe $470 if you've been scrounging every penny.

    Not worth it really against AliE offers, and reflects that Aussie retailers need to look at their supply chain (but we've been saying this since covid, so…).

    • Hey mate, I'm in the market for a 9800x3d and heard they're way cheaper on Ali. I can't seem to find one that makes me look like I trust it. Do you by any chance know of a retailer on ali that sells legit cpus? I don't wanna get burnt. Thanks!

        • Thanks for the reply mate. Looks like they don't have any in stock. Rip.

            @getgot: Any of the sellers with lots of feedback and orders (100s or 1000s) are generally fine…

              @CrispyChrispy: Thought so. I'll sort by orders. Thanks very much mate.

      OEM vs Retail packaging + actual warranty covered by consumer law may warrant the extra pricing (and import fees associated etc that retailers also pay).

      If I was making a computer for a colleague or friend/acquaintance I'd be more likely to buy local. If I was making it for family/closer friends I'd go AE but advise them of that up front/let them choose (my brother chose a local 7600x over a AE 7700 for example because he didn't trust AE)

        The odds of a CPU issue down the line are incredibly small, they tend to work out of the box or not. It's such a complex device with such stringent engineering and operational requirements that you're not going to see a long-term failure without either a dodgy BIOS or a decade of use.

        ACL statutory rights still apply, so the AliExpress store will cover the 12 month warranty, it may just cost you to ship it back after something like 60 days, and that cost would probably be $15. AliE support systems are also improving all the time, so it's possible that they will cover the return through the warranty period via their existing logistics chain, similar to Amazon.

        TLDR: if you have spare CPUs or systems on hand, it's only worth it for the paranoid, and it's not some lawless grey zone.

        Frankly we're already in the full swing of unified computing aka device convergence, it's not just Samsung DeX any more, so most people who want a PC can probably be redirected to a USB-C dock for their existing laptop, tablet, or phone, and the rest can learn the basics or take advantage of better pricing from system builders as they learn.

        • How is ACL statutory rights applying to an Ali express store? They don't operate in Australia and their business is not based in Australia

          • +1

            @Tehcookiemonsta: They are selling directly to Australian consumers, so the law applies. They also collect GST, but the cashbacks tend to give that straight back.

            • @jasswolf: Since when does ACL apply because a company sells directly to Australian consumers? They are not operating in Australia and most Ali express stores do not have an ABN…

              • @Tehcookiemonsta: From the ACCC website:

                When an overseas business sells products directly to consumers in Australia, the business must follow the Australian Consumer Law, including the consumer guarantees

                • @CrispyChrispy: So nice that you don't quote the next paragraph afterwards

                  In practice it can be difficult to get a repair, replacement or refund from an overseas business if there’s a problem with the product or service, and the help Australian consumer protection agencies can provide is limited.

                  ACL cannot do shit to an overseas business.

                  • @Tehcookiemonsta: Doesn't matter, threatening ACCC action is enough to get them to move if you do have issues with the product.

                    • @CrispyChrispy: Based on what? your just making crap up. That can work in Australia it's not going to work for a seller overseas. The website literally states that they are limited in what they can do and that is a very nice way of saying they can't do jack.

      and reflects that Aussie retailers need to look at their supply chain

      These CPUs are the equivalent of those Windows keys you can get for $10 online, they aren't intended to be resold and especially not in Australia.

        Man this is the best possible way to explain this and I'm going to use this moving forward. Haha

        They aren't intended to be re-sold to consumers anywhere, but the world doesn't work like that, and with ever escalating pricing for limited value, several major chip designers need to have a serious re-think about what they're doing.

        Way to add a vaguely racist and poor-shaming spin on it though, though I fully accept that wasn't your intention.

        • Wtf are you talking about, almost every company sells models/versions that are Australian specific, how is that poor shaming and racist?

          • @BROKENKEYBOARD: AMD retail boxes have a 3 year international warranty… the rest are OEM/tray stock. For any given model they all have the same SKU but revisions vary over time.

            Stop doubling down on the comment.

            • @jasswolf: Jasswolf is correct that ACL is applicable here, however just because the ACL says so does not mean they will automatically do it. It could become a long process if the seller wants to make it diffilcult.

              Jasswolf is however very wrong on accusing people of being racist to question him on the comment about Australian Suppliers. Most AMD CPU purchased from retail in Australia go through wholesale suppliers such as Ingram Micro, Synnex and Arrow Electronics etc. These suppliers buy direct from AMD, so how can the the process of AMD to Wholesaler to Retailer be looked at. It is Manufacturer to wholesaler to retailer then finally consumer.

              My advise, look after your own interests and buy from a local source as you have full Australian Consumer protections, not worth the hassle to save a few buck if something goes wrong.

              Jasswolf also needs to be very careful about labelling people racist when he is implying that the Australian Supply Chain should be more like china, you mearly questioned that statement.

              • @HWTechie: My point was more the association a tray CPU from China being dodgy and not a respectable purchase that somehow undermines AMD, which was made by likening them to spare or stolen OEM keys from a bulk buy.

                It was a disparaging remarks to make about an authentic product.

                • +1

                  @jasswolf: How is it a disparaging comment, he just questioned your statement. He did not say anything that can be taken as racist, he just questioned your statement.

                  To be honest I think your remark about the Australian Supply Chain is leaning that way, not saying that is, just it could be read that way.

                  Especially when you obviously do not know how that supply chain actually work or who the players are.

                  • @HWTechie: The problem with the supply chain tends to be that there's an extra middleman, and way too much bundling to secure pricing, leading to a lot of junk being sold at silly prices, but that latter component is an issue in most countries.

                    How companies want to stitch together their buying power is still up to them, and can be mitigated in prebuilt systems.

                    • @jasswolf: What middleman? AMD-Wholesaler-Retailer-End-user.

                      AMD sets the initial Wholesale CPU purchase price. Yes the Wholesaler has a markup, but all business does.

                      Some online seller may purchase from retailers and resell, but that is a different matter.

                      This works the same for both Boxed and tray CPU's.

                      Parts from China go through the same path, just more chance of further changing of hand in the process and does not have the same transparency.

                      If you want to take a chance, good for you, but please don't attack those who question you about it and label them racist. That is very irresponsible.

                      • @HWTechie: The problem tends to be more with AIBs and the like, where there's still an additional wholesaler. It's almost cartel like at that point, when the pricing situation is already bad further up the chain often due to TSMC demand and DRAM/NAND supply control.

                        • @jasswolf: You have evidence of this of course?????

                          • @HWTechie: Which part? The wholesalers? I'm just going from comments relayed directly from or by retailers. It's not a consistent thing.

    Aliexpress I bought back in June turns up legit, way cheaper than these… so you probably might want to hold on for the next offer… hint: singles day around the corner.

    • +4

      Actual Product I bought had no issues. But shipping had massive delays for some reason.. Took a while to clear customs, and auspost sent it to the wrong centre doh. After finally arriving, was legit and can be checked using serial on the AMD website checker. Running very well and can do -30 PBO!

    I need a deal on the 7700 😭

    Would not recommend this - I bought it previously from amazon when it went on sale a few months ago.. never arrived, delayed and ultimately refunded.
