    Samsung Trio 65w Phone Charger $10.92 Shipped at eBay

    The more you look the more you find. This is the label from the youtube posted upthread: This is the label from one of my ebay units: If you look sharp you can see the ebay label has a wider spacing between words. What originally caught my eye was that diagonal of spaces as indicated by the...

    Samsung Trio 65w Phone Charger $10.92 Shipped at eBay

    Weight is off too. Looks like these are going back. Here is the weight from the youtube video upthread: Here are two that I bought, same seller as kyang357:

    Samsung Trio 65w Phone Charger $10.92 Shipped at eBay

    I bought 4 and have inspected 2. Both units have the same serial number on the box, which is also the same serial number as kyang's unit. The units themselves do have unique serial numbers. If you look up the BEGWW number, it does not have a US wall connector, but these do. The part number...

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review

    Keep in mind, my opinion on that doesn't mean much. I had plenty of old school thermal compound around and it was a known thing. Plus the mount was temporary. I may go back to it. When running things like Prime95, the 5800X3D can temp spike, but it stays under 80C. When running games, it...

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review

    The way I read that is it was the cache bonding process that had to be updated. I think the underlying processor is the same and may be leftover inventory. It's hard to know for sure.

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review

    Yes I've seen that, and I also bought one of the new 5800X3Ds. It appears they did a good job because I could not detect a lick of difference between them. Performance and temp is an exact match, DDR4 timings are exactly the same, and the motherboard bios did not care. I'm not 100% sure the...

    AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D 10th Anniversary Review

    From the article: "If you already run a newer Zen 3 chip like a 5700X or 5800X and just lack the 3D V-Cache, the gaming gain is not monumental..." The author leaves out the very large YMMV that attaches to that statement. I have both the 5900X and the 5800X3D and for games like Trainz: A New...

    Scythe Mugen 6 Black $32

    I'm kind of hesitant to post because I don't want it to look like I'm thread crapping, but I think there is a better alternative to the TRUE style coolers. I have a classic TRUE as well as a Venomous-X RT and I've found the orientation of the heat pipes in coolers like the Frost Spirit 140 and...

    [SALE ON] AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D $300.00

    Looks over at the 5800X3D purchased at MC for $350 a month ago and nods. In this crazy market wanted my last upgrade for the foreseeable future done. It is nice to see that stock levels have not appeared to be an issue this time.

    AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it

    Depending on what you do, the 5800X3D could be a nice upgrade for the 5950X machine. The only place I've experienced the 5800X3D falling behind is stuff like video encoding where the core count really matters. What motivated me was Trainz19 performance*. I have two machines, both on MSI X570...

    AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it

    Who said anything about amazing? I was tired of waiting. I decided back when the rumors were circulating that I'd pay $350 for one if they were available. Near the tail end of 5800X3D availability last time they were running about $290 (May of 2023). Wait and the price could go down, or...

    [Warm] Microcenter New 5800X3D $349.99

    Apparently the rumors are true, AMD re-released the 5800X3D. I bought some of these years ago when they were still mainstream and pricing was near $300. In this environment, I didn't think $350 was a bad deal for the top dog for the AM4 platform, especially if one has existing DDR4 they can...

    AMD’s new pitch: our old tech is so good you should just keep using it

    Microcenter has new 5800X3Ds in stock now, just picked one up. $349.99. On Ebay, they are still $400+ for used ones.

    Upgrade 1080ti for less than $200?

    Upgrade 1080ti for less than $200?

    OP asked if he could upgrade his 1080TI for $200, I provided a path with a warning about it not being mainstream and its caveats, but it is a valid path. However, IMHO, it is the only way the OP is going to get a meaningful upgrade from his current 1080TI for $200. What if one does not care...
