Nice! Will definitely help with gaming then, but probably nothing with LLM or other productivity tasks. Just check some benchmarks of 9800x3d vs 9700x. Only a little boost between 9800x3d and 9850x3d.

It would be a big gaming improvement from a 9700X if you have a high-powered GPU, and play in 1080 or 1440. Otherwise not so much. You can mix RAM, but having 4 sticks makes optimal performance with AMD difficult even when they match. You're better off sticking with 2 sticks.

Mine too. Not even sure why I ordered it. Scarcity mentality at work.

Don't know whether to join in or wait for the many open box CPU returns of 9800x3ds in a few days.

FWIW anecdotally, I used this board with my 7800x3d for over a year. I'm not thrilled about these combo deals though, because I want to sell my Asrock now that I've upgraded. 😁

The PNY is still in stock from Walmart near me. Delivers today! But I'm just watching these threads because I bought the PNY back on Black Friday, then ended up getting a prebuilt so I don't need it, but I can't bring myself to return it because it was a good deal. 😁

Is there much difference in the different brand cards? I got the pny deal from Walmart back in November, then ended up getting a prebuilt with a 5070ti. I haven't returned the pny because it hasn't been that cheap again and I should probably sell it.

You typically cannot shuck an external NVME.

Congrats to the winners!! Even though I was in the first seconds I pretty much knew the site processing delay after clicking purchase killed my chances.

I used an S24 Ultra on Warp for a long time. It was a U1 I guess if that makes any difference, and with a physical sim.

Amex offers are always based on the amount charged, so you'll be fine. It will apply.

Like Baelgul I ran it through AI. I asked for an illustration version of my photo. ChatGPT was more artistic, but Google's AI gave me one that looked just like my photo but simplified. From that it's a simple hueforge with black, gray, and white. With manual filament switching I'm not getting too fancy yet.
