JW is killing it lately with their motherboard deals
The Aorus Pro has really bad review on its VRM, but I've been running a 3900x at 80%+ usage 24/7 on the Aorus Elite (which looks similar vrm wise) and have no issue
Don't bother buying expensive motherboard and save that extra cash to pay for the overpriced GPU instead
Note: no accessories, so no wifi antenna or sata cables
Not really, 12 cores are fine as long as you don't overclock
what is the normal price of these boards?
why is this a deal?
also
Note: no accessories, so no wifi antenna or sata cables
does not sound all that good if they took out the wifi antenna etc..
well cheap am4 board with wifi are usually $130+
$140 new at PLE if anyone wants to compare prices.
Nearly half price so pretty good.
No antenna Though.
$19 shipping kills it IMHO.
Only 40 bucks more for a new one with full warranty and all accessories. And after all this is somehting you invest in only every couple of years so 40 bucks difference is even less of an issues over the long term.
yeap doesn't sound that good of a deal
-lose all the accessories including the wifi antenna
-not sure how much warranty is left on these refurb boards
Also why were they refurb?
might have been some reported problem that was wrong with them
I live close to JW store and I bought B550 Aorus Master for $149 last time :)
Bought x570 Master refurbished for $230 from them two weeks ago. No accessories. Running beautifully
ah ha so it was you? lol I saw x570 Master on their website for that price and as soon as I got my b550 Master, x570 Master was gone!
Could not resist….
I have a 10900/z490 as main build but i do want to dabble with a 5900x/5950x in a year or two when its available at better prices. Currently just have a 2600x in that x570 but its still fun to mess about with it.
How are you finding the b550 master? Was it $180?
Mine was $149 so I grabbed it. Haha
All works fine, no other accessories but still ok.
You can buy antenna from here.
@Dalgona456: AU $49.00 + $9 shipping
that is ridiculously expensive
plus how much is left of the warranty on these refurb boards?
doesn't seem like that good of a deal
when you start buying all these missing accessories and lost in warranty period
@pinkybrain: 6 months from JW return to base warranty.
You dont have to get antenna as it works fine without it. Just for better reception you would get antenna.
On my desk area, wifi and bluetooth works fine without antenna. ;)
