For those who missed out on earlier deal: CPU Deal

A solid deal on what’s easily one of the best value gaming CPUs you can get right now. The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is going for ~A$539.66, which is a steal compared to local Australian pricing—stores like Centre Com (centrecom.com.au) are still charging A$755 thanks to the infamous "Australia tax" on computer parts. Meanwhile, other regions like the US and China have it for much less. You can stack this with upsized cashback for even more savings.

Specs-wise, this one packs 8 cores, 16 threads, a 4.2GHz base clock, 5.0GHz boost clock, 120W TDP, AM5 socket, and most importantly, a massive 96MB of L3 cache, making it a beast for gaming.

For those paying in USD this is how you get the correct exchange rate in PayPal:

Setting overseas websites to AUD or letting PayPal do the currency conversion results in an inflated rate. To get the correct rate you need a card without international fees and do the following:

  • Set the website currency to USD
  • Checkout with PayPal
  • Select your card with no international fees
  • Click "See currency options"
  • Select USD to bill the card in USD instead of AUD
  • Proceed with checkout

Now you'll get the correct MasterCard or VISA exchange rate depending on the card

Taken from previous deal: "Use: TCB US because they don't have a cap on the purchase. I can confirm that I ordered this same product through there and got the full 24% before shipping+taxes and everything tracked. This was $74.73 USD for me" - OzBMate629

      No that is a fake. You can see under the name, it'll show "Certified brands & committed genuine items" for genuine product and JS-Computer is a well known store in aliexpress.

    • +3

      No reviews = assume it's fake

    • +1

      Only 6 sales, 0% Positive feedback, very little followers obviously fake.
      If the listing has Choice or Big Save it's also more likely to be legit.

    Bought a 5700x3D from same aliexpress store (JS), delivered before the estimated day in small plastic case will bubble wrap and bubble envelop (looks brand new CPU). Installed and run perfectly, even run negative 30 in PBO, so no complain.

  • It's actually $337.61 USD ($539.66 for me).

    • I bought via paypal and the exchange rate took it to A$561.56.

      • +9

        Never use PayPals exchange rate, it's always terrible.
        You can pay with PayPal in USD for a better rate, especially if you have a card that doesn't charge a fee for using a foreign currency.

        • Thanks updated!

            @theachievergosh: No prob. You might want to add the instructions for paying in USD directly via PayPal to the bottom of the description.
            Should be able to copy/paste from another Aliexpress deal, such as the previous deal on this CPU you've linked (which yours is actually cheaper than)!

            Probably worth copying the tags as well, so people subscribed to the tags get a notification (currently doesn't show on the 7800X3D page for example.

            Absolute ripper of a first deal!

  • Will this have warranty and ship in a AMD box?

    • +1

      No..

      • -2

        So whats the benefit of this. Instead of paying 150$ more and have warranty and peace of mind?

        • +7

          Do you mean $200 more? The benefit is saving $200.

              @Mike2k19: in 20 years of PC building i've never had a CPU die. Worth the risk IMO.

              • +1

                @gruffjaguar: It's rare, but has happened to me. Thought it was other components, but RAM passed all checks etc. Ended up replacing the CPU and the crashes stopped.

                That being said, it's worth the risk.

              • +5

                @gruffjaguar: I tripped over a dog when building my pc, dropped my 1700 and bent 1/4 of the pins. I spent quite a few hours fixing them but I am still using 8 years later.

              • @gruffjaguar: There are plenty of ryzen 7700's out there with a faulty igpu. Which u have to downclock in bios for stability.

                Ive had the unfortunate circumstance of picking one of these up

            • +1

              @Mike2k19: And the sky is blue. Noone with half a brain is buying an AliExpress chip without knowing the inherent risk. Some people think the trade-off is worth the savings whilst others don't. It's worth pointing out that the risk is very low (as stated above).

            • @Mike2k19: I have pentium 3's that are still functional. Processors are some of the most durable, bullet proof hardware you can get. Yes freak incidents like crappy IMC are possible but they are beyond rare.

              I've been building PC's for 5 years now to sell on marketplace and I've only run into two incidents where the CPU doesn't work fully. None where the CPU outright does not boot.

          • @vaskothefrog: Big if true

          It depends on the context - if you're building your first system, then maybe having the local support may be valuable, if you're building a whole bunch of systems (which I previously did for an internet cafe style LAN gaming centre), then you would just buy 20 of these and if 1 or 2 kick the bucket, then you would just buy a new one and no harm, no loss.

          If you're buying a very new CPU at launch, then I would also agree that it might be worth getting the local warranty (e.g. see Intel 13th and 14th gen issues). However, the 7800X3D has been out for almost 2 years at this stage (and the non-3D versions out for over 2.5 years) that if there were any issues, they would have already been caught. Fab processes…etc. also mature over that time and you'll be getting a much more reliable chip (statistically) at this stage than at launch anyway.

          I used to work in the analytics space for a technology retailer, failures for modern electronics almost universally follow a bathtub curve - either it's DOA (or comes with issues, or dies very quickly), or it'll survive for a while (well past the usual warranty period anyway). Usually AliExpress is fairly good with DOA, so you're well covered there. Ultimately, $200 is a lot to pay for a 3-year warranty if you're guaranteed that it's not DOA.

    • You do get warranty from some sellers (not this one). Some description/purchase notes say 3-years warranty. Aliexpress customer service is generally pretty good and they punish sellers hard, so a reputable seller with good reviews wouldn't want to dodge your complaint.

    $755 at umart

  • Great price, personally I bought a 9800x3d from CPU-Top Store A$790 before cashback

    • +9

      I've purchased over 30 high-end OEM / tray CPUs from AliExpress (and similar), including Xeon and EPYC CPUs worth multiple times the 7800X3D (for business use, of course, not personal). No issues at all, only one DOA which was refunded promptly.

      Paying $200 for warranty on a ~$500 part means that you are betting on a higher than ~40% failure rate within the warranty period statistically. Having previously worked in analytics in technology retail, there are no technology retail categories that have anywhere near that failure rate within the warranty period (manufacturers would immediately go broke if that were the case). Average warranty rates were around 3-4% for most categories. Note that this also includes DOA, which AliExpress is usually fine with. Non-DOA failure rates within warranty period would be something like 1% (or a smidge higher).

      Warranty is insurance - compare it to car insurance, probably around $700 p.a. on a $15,000 car, so 4.7% p.a. of cover, it's ludicrous to pay $200 / 3 = $67 p.a. on a $500 CPU, i.e. 13.3% p.a. of cover for something that has lower risk of damage (and collateral damage) than a car accident.

    While cheaper than my previous deal there's no TCB/SB/CR cashback. Instead we need to rely on AliExpress' 5% cashback as shopping credit which still is pretty good.

    • Hi, was wondering if the TCB US cashback apply to this deal? (I kept it in the description assuming it would)

      • +1

        This is unaffiliated, so AliExpress wouldn't be paying out unless there's some kind of special arrangement with them. There's no harm in trying and if you miss out so be it.

  • +5

    What's up with the sudden Aliexpress hate in the comments? I've been shopping for PC parts on Ali for around 5 years now and I have literally never had a computer component fail. Xeons that I've bought work, Envinda (not to be confused with Nvidia) 's DDR4 RAM seems fine, the Ryzen 5 5600 I bought 3 years ago still runs.

    Whilst, you are missing out on warranty, you likely won't need it.

    • +1

      Because people instantly associate Chinese stores with low quality and/or scams. They're too ignorant and that's honestly fine, it just means more stock for us. Also, most of these merchants do provide 3-years warranty (not this one) and Aliexpress customer service is pretty good from personal experience.

  • Where do these new chips come from if they have no warranty?

    Makes no sense?

    Shouldn't cpus have global warranty since you send back to amd direct anyway?

    Don't they run off serial?

    • +1

      Serials numbers.. determine, whether they have retail warranty thorugh AMD, or OEM.. no with zero direct warranty from AMD, and done via the reseller.

    • +3

      Just saying 7800x3d in china is 2400 rmb retail price. So it's not crazy price. They make more profit than selling in china.

    • +6

      These are OEM tray CPUs intended for system builders. The difference between these and retail is that they don't come in the AMD box and no Wraith cooler if the CPU normally includes one. The 7800X3D doesn't. They still function the same regardless.

  • +2

    Got one, cheers! Got the 9070 XT earlier this week and now this. Few more bits and new PC will be PC'ng.

  • +1

    Does anyone know how often they stock the 5700x3d?

    • +5

      AMD stopped manufacturing them around October last year. Stock is becoming more scarce and that drives up the price.

      • Thanks, does that mean it won't be stocked anymore?

        • +1

          As the stock dries up. I don't anticipate it disappearing anytime soon. I just don't think we'll see really cheap prices.

  • Any deal on the 9700x or 9900x?

  • I just received my 9700x earlier this week. I’m so tempted to grab this one now. Is the 7800x3d really that much better for gaming?

  • +1

    Thanks for the mention OP. You should know however that when I made that comment it was 24% cashback on TCB US. It is now only 8%, though it should still track more than the other cashback sites due to no cap. This item is also unaffiliated though I have heard TCB US tracks even on unaffiliated items. No harm in trying.

    Can't decide between the 7800x3d or the 9800x3d for ~$185 more. The uplift in performance is around 20% in some games.

    • +1

      Same here

    • +5

      The uplift in performance is around 20% in some games.

      I always find that the X% uplift is useful as a cursory metric, but can often be really misleading, particularly when comparing CPUs (less so when comparing GPUs).

      Basically, because most games at lower FPS are GPU bound, and most games at higher FPS are CPU bound (generally speaking), a 20% uplift will not be particularly useful for the vast majority of cases where you would actually need the performance (i.e. in GPU bound, low fps scenarios). A lot of the time, the "20% uplift" type of number comes from games that go from like 200 fps to 240 fps (or some other ridiculous bump) that has little real-world impact.

      My guess is that unless you already have a top-end GPU (e.g. something like a 5080), then you're better off spending the change on the GPU. $200 is almost enough to jump one GPU tier up in the mid-range, which would have much more impact than the 9800X3D vs. 7800X3D.

      • +1

        7800x3d it is. Thanks mate.

    • At these price points, they are both great deals and both absolute beasts of CPUs already. Ultimately comes down to application and budget. Without using subjective metrics, if your application is purely playing games at 1440 or more, then the CPU is generally less important as you go higher in resolution /graphics and therefore the 7800x3d is the more cost effective and suitable.

      If it's mixed use with some heavy CPU processing stuff and fits your budget then 9800x3d i.e. if you were gonna buy the 7800x3d for $750 at Centrecom anyway.

      Using myself as example - my application of 90% gaming at 1440+ and trying to keep budget of approx $500aud.. the 7800x3d was a no brainer.

  • Great instructions thank you very much. Was able to use my UP card through Paypal and got the exact same figures specified in the OP. Now I just need an AM5 board!

  • I was thinking of getting a MAC studio and go to the Darkside but I just bought this!!!
    I am using 3700x, so I will need the motherboard plus ram; and swap it out with my current setup.

    What would be the best but cheapest budget mobo for this CPU and what about ram guys?
    I am thinking of upgrading my Rtx 3070 to 9070xt later in the year.
