First time posting an Aliexpress deal. Store has a 98% feedback and an active deal for an identical item is being sold for more
AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D CPU US$203.79 (~A$320.47) Delivered @ SZCPU Store via AliExpress.
When buying in USD by setting the currency to USD on Aliexpress and checking out via Paypal, it is ~A$250. However buying the AUD price its A$247.56 via Paypal.
Cheers, I like to think that this is a good deal.
Better to upgrade to AM5 platform or get this? Coming from 3600 Ryzen
Are you already bottlenecked in your CPU use? If gaming and have mediocre GPU then wait a bit for 9000 gen to come out and buy AM5 and one of the outgoing 7000 models.
In most games the 5700X3D will be matched by the non-X3D 7000 CPUs and you will retain an upgrade path.
I don't think the 5700X3D is a long run choice. Might bridge a gap for 2-3 years though if that is what you are after.
I only really play cs2/dota2. Gpu is 6700xt but would like higher frames for cs2, currently it fluctuates quite a bit around 120-180fps. From benchmarks I’ve seen, a cpu upgrade would help stabilise this
I posted in one of the other 5700X3D sales but yes you'll notice a very decent bump in performance going from a 3600 to 5700X3D.
From a 5600+? Very incremental increase that I don't think is necessarily worth the investment, unless you're just trying to squeeze as much out of your AM4 platform before eventually upgrading to AM5.
@pbxjnr: thanks just read your posts.
regarding the cooler, I saw on reddit reusing the cooler was not recommended?
@nicolascage: the stock cooler works fine in a pinch, but those thermalright coolers are such a nice upgrade for very few $$ :)
@pbxjnr: I have an R5 5500, running a 7600XT… would it be worth upgrading to this? I mostly game in VR so anything helps
@kilcarnup: I would…. just the PCIE4 alone should give your 7600XT I think around 5-7% increase in fps, and then coupled with the CPU boost I think it'd be worthwhile overall
Is the RTX3070 mediocre?
This 5700x3d is similar gaming performance to AM 5 7500f or 7600. I will get this if you already has decent AM4 m/b, as whole platform upgrade cost around double to tripple the price. 5700x3d should able to run upto 4070 ti super or 7900xt in most games, if not all games in 1440p.
I am thinking of getting a new system, there was the deal posted for a byo gpu with 7500F.
you’re ascending to 8 core master race how is this even a question
Depends on your GPU and main games, but it was a huge upgrade for me. For $240 it's such good value. Sure AM5 has a great upgrade path, but you're dumping MINIMUM $300 extra on a decent board and ram if you're ATX.
What GPU do you have? I have a 3060ti with a 3600 but not sure if I will get much of an improvement with that card
3070 at 1440p. Improvement depends on the game. FFXIV got a 50% boost in crowded areas. FH5 got basically nothing. Most games are somewhere in between.
It's just not worth it for your system unless it's another $70 less.
It's really good - but your CPU is worth $30 on Facebook, so you want this thing cheap
I just installed mine from the previous deal today, also upgrading from 3600. Before installing I ran a quick test on lategame Stellaris savefile (post year 2500). The 3600 took 33secs to run 3 months at max speed while the 7800x3D took 16 seconds for 3 months. The increased performance blew me away and is exactly why I upgraded. YMMV
I bought one last week. Absolute no brainer for someone like myself already on the AM4 platform with a 3700x and rtx3080 with 3600mhz CL14 Samsung B die.
To build a similar system in AM5 even if I kept the CPU the cost is prohibitive for me anyway.
I am honestly hoping to drag this system out until AM6.
Pretty decent price considering 5600x goes for around this, maybe $20 less
Ordered one from them two weeks ago. Came yesterday. Works perfect
For someone called OzGreed this is a terrible price. This was $215 a few days ago.
Yep picked it up for ~$212 on last sat to replace my 2600.
In my defense, I was checking the other deals but as I mentioned the other deal wasn't as good. If I could travel back in time, I would have posted/bought from the deal that you're are referring to
Protip. Deals have "Related Products" tagged under them and clicking on it will show the latest deals. A good way to see if it is the cheapest as the OzBargain search is terrible.
Holding out for <$200
Considering the CPU it replaces will be worth only 40 or 30 online, agreed. You wanna get this thing cheap as possible an hold on to it at least 3 years
What would be a good cheap AM4 board to go with this?
MSI B450 A-Pro max
Thanks - I happen to have a B450 Mortar Max kicking around at home!
or a MSI B550M PRO-VDH WIFI if you want something mid-range with pci-e 4.
Is this worth any savings when you've got basically zero chance of any warranty beyond your credit card chargeback period?
It's a CPU - if it boots you will very rarely have any issues in the future.
It's been on sale 3 times this month already for $224 - $229. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/product/amd-ryzen-7-5700x3d
