Well I scored myself a good deal on a Ryzen 7950X3D!
I wanted to move to AM5 Ryzen 7000 platform after further thinking and currently had an Intel Raptor Lake system. I was changing up components after good reports on AM5 system with higher end Asus boards having no RTX 4090 coil whine, so decided to switch after all the painful frustration with trying more than 10 RTX 4090s and all having too much coil whine even after trying. I thought of different mobos with 13900KS, problem is they are DDR5 as DDR4 choices are limited and I have had nothing but trouble with DDR5 XMP Stability especially on Asus boards with Intel 13th Gen, so had to make the switch
So I had put on the market through Facebook marketplace my 2 month old parts below:
13900KS for $600,
Asus Z790-A ROG Strix DDR4 mobo for $250,
T-Create 2 X 16GB Samsung BDie CL14 3600 RAM for $130
eVGA SuperNOVA T2 1600 watt PSU for $300
So if I sold all those parts for asking price, I would get $1280
But rarely do you get asking price especially on motherboards and RAM and eve power supplies on Facebook marketplace and I did not want to sell on ebay due to fees and ebay being awful to sellers in case anyone wanted to return as they always side with buyer even if buyer makes up excuse and is lying. So I figured I would discount them as a bundle for someone who wanted to buy them all for $1150 or maybe even go as low as $1100 or lower if need be.
SO I have someone come and they stated they were interested in CPU only and maybe the PSU. I asked them I had all parts and tried selling them how good the DDR4 I had was and it was the best DDR4 mobo. Then they stated or do you want to trade all your stuff for $600 plus a 7950X3D and then my mouth and eyes shot open with excitement and I immediately jumped on the deal. I got a slightly used 7950X3D plus $600. And given that brand new 7950X3Ds are going for well over $900 to even $1000 or more on ebay, and lowest priced one I saw was $850 on FB Marketplace and only 1 other for $1050, the one I have is worth at least $700 so made out better and got the CPU I wanted. Well I really wanted the 7800X3D, but it is not out until April and I do not want to wait. So I figured get the 7950X3D and disable non-3D CCD> Well waste of money I know, but not now after scoring a good deal.
So I got my better binned 7800X3D as I will disable 2nd CCD and it will be a 250MHz faster 3D cache CCD being 5250MHz than regular 7800X3D which has max boost of only 5000MHz
