Look up Intel Core i5-12400F, normally $249. But Intel motheboard may cost more, haven't looked it up in a while.
Just checked, mobos are steep for LGA 1700
OEM (OEM, or original equipment manufacturer), Does buying OEM or not matters?
CPU only, not in retail box so no heatsink,
No box and 2 years warranty (instead of 3)
what is the price difference?
also what box they send it in then?
Price is usually cheaper by a few tens, then the box is just generic.
I bought a OEM 10850k at a severely reduced price and it was mint.
So far had no issues, only difference is generic packaging and no cooler
this is like normal price on aliexpress, the 5500 are a good deal @~$185
Aliexpress is not comparable.
You wait ~1 month for an item(s) that have more chance of getting damaged during shipping.
There's also the possibility an item is DOA - Have fun lodging that RA…Also I wouldn't recommend the 5500 to anyone. Do some research on it.
5500? Worse performance, half the cache, limited upgradeability due to no PCIe 4 support, and performance on par with a 3600. You may as well save your money and buy a 3600 if that's your budget.
And as mentioned, AliExpress is a risky place to buy a CPU.
are you really going to spend $65 more on a 5600 vs 5500 though, a 3600 is more expensive than a 5500
i buy cpu's off ali all the time no problems
its like i'm arguing with a bunch of bots or something, if you want to sell your product make it more competitive lol
The 5600 is worth the extra $65 imo. PCIe gen 4 support makes it compelling option for future upgrades or if you're buying one of the gimped low-end Radeon GPUs which have less lanes. Also double the L3 memory cache of the 5600 makes a big impact in many titles.
I've never purchased a CPU of Aliexpress but the shipping time is killer. While unlikely to be DOA or fail shortly after, the local warranty (and consumer law) give peace of mind
@FireRunner: look up benchmarks there isn't much difference
shipping time is a preference thing i'll buy whatever is cheapest, never had a problems with cpus
people who fud aliexpress are just trolls
@abctoz: 5600 seems to consistently beat the 5500, sometimes by a large margin according to tomshardware. Maybe you're getting the 5600 vs the 5600x confused? Those two are very similar
The delivery time is a dealbreaker to many but if you don't mind then why not?
Warranty and aftersales support is dependent on the seller from aliexpress. You're not covered under ACL and return experiences will vary. It's part of the reason why overseas prices are cheaper than local.
CPUs are very reliable nowadays so chances of needing to return is very slim. If you're happy with that risk then Aliexpress is for you@FireRunner: oh it looks like there is a big diff with productivity benches
iirc for gaming it was quite small
@abctoz: Have a look at page 3 of the article for gaming benchmark graphs
Farcry 6 has 126.6 FPS vs 107
F1 2021 is 240.9 vs 195.3
Hitman 3 is 126 vs 107.5
and so on5600 definitely has an edge over the 5500 even in gaming
CPUs are very reliable nowadays
Yeah, CPU field-failure rate is under 1%. He'd have to be buying hundreds of them from Ali Express before his experience means anything. At those quantities, I'd question why anyone would pay higher prices on AliExpress versus the cheaper alternatives.
Also, while you might save $10-$15 on a 5600 on AliExpress, the local price could easily drop by that much in the month that you have to wait for delivery. So you're no better off
@surethang: used cpu's are cheap on aliexpress and readily available…
why on earth would i pay more to buy on aliexpress if there was an equivalent locally
used cpu's are cheap on aliexpress and readily available
Great. But we're discussing new products here
why on earth would i pay more to buy on aliexpress if there was an equivalent locally
Exactly my point. If you're buying in bulk, why not go through the more direct local channels that aren't available to end consumers?
@abctoz: Did I say you were?
I wrote you're either buying too few for your experience to be statistically relevant given the very low failure rate of CPUs. And if you're buying in bulk from AliExpress, I'd have to wonder why
Yeah, CPU field-failure rate is under 1%. He'd have to be buying hundreds of them from Ali Express before his experience means anything. At those quantities, I'd question why anyone would pay higher prices on AliExpress versus the cheaper alternatives.
Ok, focusing on the least relevant part of what I wrote is pointless. So I'll exit stage right here. Peace.
@surethang: if i save 5% of each cpu i'd take the 1% failure rate any day
i swear half the reason i buy from aliexpress is to piss of retailers that act like they know everything because they have a monopoly on supply
Just for clarity, it looks like all versions in this deal are OEM (no retail box, 2 year warranty), and they just pack in the fan too if you buy that version.
Honestly though, if a CPU lasts for 2 years, it'll last for (at least) 3. Pretty much any other PC component it would suck to have the warranty reduced from 3 to 2 years, but CPU it's very unlikely to make a difference (they either fail quick, or last for ages)
Is this the best single core price performance ever?
