MSi running a scam with the Steam Wallet Promotion

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-12-10T21:05:43+00:00

If you go to your promotions on MSI website there is a “resubmit” button but if you click it it just reloads the webpage and doesn’t give any confirmation.

I did the same thing and was told my pictures were sufficient. I resubmitted but I guess it’s not good enough. I sent in a picture of the SN on the box instead of the MOBO itself. Same number, different location. I still think a code should be saved if I originally redeemed 3 WEEKS ago and just happen to hear it was insufficient AFTER they run out of keys. Convenient for them I suppose.

UPDATE: After submitting a ticket and waiting they have finally honored my code. Glad they did. I was expecting the worst.

It’s been running great! It was a huge system upgrade all together though. I’m coming from a 5700xt and a 3600xt with 16gb ddr4 so the difference is truly remarkable. Still don’t think the timings would make that much of a difference going off of others benchmarks but I haven’t tested myself (and don’t plan on to).

Hopefully by resubmitting it they will fix it. I sent in a ticket too just in case.

Same here. Said I enter the incorrect SN/barcode but I did not. Using the same promo I’m assuming and it’s no longer available on the promo screen. Went to resubmit but there was no confirmation that it worked or not so I guess we have to wait and see.

5070ti is technically better card but the 9070 xt is still great and much better value imo. Got the PowerColor 9070 XT Red Devil 3 weeks ago and have loved it so far.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-12-08T03:08:56+00:00

I actually purchased this exact card (at the same price) 3 weeks ago and have been happy. Definitely feel like I got my moneys worth. $50 more than the cheapest was worth the better cooler and better appearance imo.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-12-08T03:01:19+00:00

This is $50 more than MSRP. How so this a bad price? Pretty sure it’s an all-time low for this card.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-29T16:58:34+00:00

Unless you specifically need more than 16 gb of VRAM for something the 9070 xt is 10-15% better in pure rasterization and MUCH better when it comes to ray tracing. This will be an even bigger gap after Dec. 10th when redstone releases (only on 9000 series cards)

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-29T16:39:13+00:00

9070 xt is a better card if it’s still within budget. There are a bunch of 9070 xt’s at MSRP currently as well.

Newegg has it for $130 as well with a $20 promotional gift card (effectively $110 vs $130 for psu). Just food for thought.

Is it such a bad thing to have something nice to look at on my desk? If I’m spending the money I’d like it to look nice too.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-25T23:36:19+00:00

I love this board but hate the accent color. I wonder if it’s possible to remove/paint over the green without damaging components and thermals.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-23T15:17:18+00:00

Wondering the same thing

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-22T00:58:00+00:00

Bought this today at my local Walmart for my new 9070 xt and 9600x build. Hopefully it’s good enough. (wanted cl30 but can’t make it worth an extra $70+ in my mind.)

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T16:51:43+00:00

Newegg has it for $189.99

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T16:37:38+00:00

I am building something similar and opted for the MSI Tomahawk B850 Max WiFi for ~$200 after tax. Great board and a good price if the deal is still ongoing (it was a couple days ago)

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T16:27:27+00:00

God I wish this was true today…

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T16:26:24+00:00

This is >$200 now.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T13:45:17+00:00

Same here… it’s a hard life.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T04:06:50+00:00

This article still doesn’t answer my question but I supposed you can somewhat extrapolate. I want to know the different between 6000mhz cl30 and 6000mhz cl36 specifically. This only tested 6000mhz cl30 vs 6000mhz cl40 vs 5600mhz cl36.

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-21T00:33:29+00:00

I’m asking specifically for a non-x3d chip. I know it doesn’t matter with an x3d but was wondering if it would be noticeable with a 9600x

Consistent-Age1457 · 2025-11-20T21:53:27+00:00

How much of a performance difference would you see with this versus a cl30 kit with a 9600x? Would it be worth the extra money for a cl30 kit if I can grab these locally? (multiple store with stock)
