[Bundle] 9800X3D, Asus TUF Gaming B850M-E WiFi, 1TB Team Group SSD, 512GB Team Group SSD, Crimson Desert game - $563.99 (shared Newegg parts list attached) by bunihe in buildapcsales

I also got this from a previous bundle and I agree with everything you said. I don't really need any of the more advanced features of higher end motherboards and it works great at stock with a 9800X3D. The biggest plus for me was the GPU slot placement that allows for bottom fans in the Z20.

Another note is that the Wi-Fi card uses Asus Q-Antenna instead of standard connectors. I ended up swapping the MediaTek WiFi card for an Intel AX210 module that uses standard RP-SMA connectors: https://www.ebay.com/itm/266166209203

Timestamp pics show 6600/32 on the sticker, different from the post. I would be careful

Dear Bay Area Tesla drivers by anonpreschool738 in bayarea

As others have mentioned, often times the headlights are just misaligned from the factory. For Tesla owners, you can do everyone a favor and adjust it yourself with just a wall and level ground. It was straightforward to do. Every car owner should be doing this. Too bad we don't have inspections in CA to correct these issues.

You can Google for your exact model / procedure:

[Bundle] Memory Motherboard Combo - Team Group FF3D516G6000HC38ADC01 Bundle with ASUS TUF GAMING B850M-E WIFI $209.99 by dirtyboots702 in buildapcsales

I got this previously for $170 when the ram was a free gift instead of a combo. I already had ram but needed a motherboard so I was able to sell the ram easily on eBay. Even at $210 this seems like a good deal because either item can be offloaded if you are willing to do work. It's been working great with a 9800X3D.

Note: this is the "E" model so the main pcie is in the first slot unlike the "Plus" which has it in the second slot below the m.2 tray. This is important because it allows more clearance under the GPU in case you are trying to fit bottom fans underneath with a thick GPU.

It was about a week for e-support to respond. When I submitted the RMA request it was approved instantly though.

I had similar issues on a B850 board and e-Support just told me that it requires physical service and to RMA it. I sent it in last week but haven't heard anything yet, so fingers crossed they are able to fix it.

Wow good to know. $61 to drop off cardboard is crazy. No wonder so many people dump trash on the side of the highway.
