It feels like a CPU price war is underway, as there's now an even cheaper deal than the US$87.68 deal posted yesterday. Interestingly, TaiYuan Store is operated by the same company that runs SZCPU Store. While this doesn't stack with cashback from TCB/CR/SB it will stack with AliExpress cashback.
It has 8 cores, 16 threads, base clock of 3.4GHz, boost clock of 4.6GHz with a default TDP of 65W. Perfectly fine for multi-core tasks and gaming. As mentioned in the previous deal, this CPU is very easy to cool and there's no need for a fancy or expensive cooler. Even something like the $29 Thermalright Assassin X120 SE would do the job just fine.

AU$ based on current Mastercard rate and GST inclusive.
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.
Super cheap! Still waiting on 5000 series x3d chips, though. Hopefully something comes around soon.
