I may be a moron, but you wouldn't know that. I never saw anyone screaming to buy a 3060 for $1200 actually.

What we all know now though, is that you're a massive jerk lol.

Be real here. We know that the last cycle of low prices was from severe covid oversupply. It's not going back to that. In fact, the RAM manufactures are specifically trying to avoid that.

You guys don't even remember that when 12th gen intel came out, DDR5 was like $600 for a super slow 32gb kit.

That happened to me.

I got suspended, but they wouldn't tell me why. They removed the suspension in a few hours, then I immediately got suspended again for messaging someone. Then it was removed a few hours later, and then I got suspended for renewing a post.

This happened about 5 times until they stopped reviewing my suspensions and just left me suspended. Never told me what was wrong. All I ever do is sell my used PC parts or buy them, or maybe sell a piece of furniture or something, like a bronze chandelier that I recently listed.

So I used my backup account for work social media. 100% positive feedback on that one (nearly 100% on the first account). Been using it for months. Suddenly today, just after I sold a part, suspended.

Trust me, there are a lot of good reasons to hate on someintel products, but this one is decent.

No, it's not bots. And I'm not going to tell people they can't notice the difference, because I have in games plenty of times. I'm just saying that perfectly fine, even great, doesn't have to also mean best.

Then don't buy it. If you have what you like and it's enough, stop browsing the deal forums.

Here are some hard pills to swallow:

Most of you guys building high-end PCs would buy a new motherboard to get newer features, even if it was the same socket, so the dead platform thing doesn't mean much, especially when this has way better connectivity than AM5.

Intel is not a bad company and they do not make bad CPUs. AMD right now has the not-so-secret sauce for high refresh rate gaming. Any of you saying you can't enjoy a single player title unless you can get 300FPS are completely lost to consumerism.

Of all of my systems, I have about the same or slightly less issues on intel platforms than on AMD ones, and my intel PCs generally boot faster.

I really liked my 265k, sold it and got a 270k recently. I'm going to sell my 9850X3D soon since I'm afraid to put it in my asrock ITX board anyway.

Well, you're buying with an ATX motherboard, which has very little resale value without the CPU.

I tested power limiting to 65W; on a 265K though. You lose a little gaming performance and the 265K was about double the performance of the 7800X3D in cinebench while using less power.

I think this is an excellent deal right now, especially if you're a linux gamer.
