AMD Ryzen 7 5700X3D Eight Core 4.1GHz (Socket AM4) CPU without Fan sold by Computer Hardware Global

What USD trick?

Yes are you an owner of a VAT registered company? If you are you can claim the VAT back. I get that corporations are experts at tax evasion, but if you want a functioning economy then we really really really do NOT want to be supporting China undercutting UK businesses, morally it's a bad look. Some people don't care but when the she height hits the fan and it is coming then you will have been directly part of that.

When you evade VAT you directly screw over UK business. Then you'll complain, we are in 1938 currently this is how bad the situation is with global security and people are so short sighted they will use an aggressor to help them evade tax. Shameful.

You're saying advise me how to evade tax and hoping to use a Chinese company to help you evade tax in the UK. As I said when the time comes you people will be the first to complain. Stop being part of the problem.

Makes me angry, dismayed that people just do not realise what the current global situation is and naively support it for short term gain. It is madness, ludicrous even. Yet I will get comments in reply to this that support that position, which just shows you how hopeless things are. (edited)

it's $184.58 vs $181.54
or £4.63

the more expensive one has over 900 sold with 4.9 rating , is a silver member so wants to protect their reputation more, has higher store rating. I can't believe anyone would risk buying a CPU from a store that has zero reviews let alone something that cost £140

also it's still a chance custom stops you , which means you have to pay tax (and vat) , and the tax will be
£28.15 then you'd have to pay VAT also (on the price which is higher of)

I mean unless you can get the seller to write down a much smaller value of $20 on the box. not sure I would take the risk to save £4.63 on this. If the seller had reviews it's different, no reviews means I rather go with the reputable one

That's the upgrade I'm thinking of doing so good to know it's worth it.

It’s aliexpress of course it’s not legit lol. These are probably factory rejects that didn’t pass qc

im surprised your comment didn’t get taken down for the b****** word

Actually sorry it was this store I bought it from. Highly recommended.

Depends on what you use system for?

3900xt if you are using for production will beat it but if you want it for gaming this is better option.

I wouldnt consider it in your case anyway 5800x 3d upwards only is better way to go in future.

Probably not. You'll see maybe up to 20% gains. But that's not a guarantee. But won't see it in titles like cyberpunk or GTA V

Disagree.

In my case to replace a b450 MSI Pro Carbon AC i would need to be spending about £140-150 on a B650 Motherboard and could only fetch around £50 on ebay for my old board. Decent speed 32GB DDR5 is about £90-100 and i could sell my 32gb of ddr4 for around £50 on ebay.

So that's £150 extra cost to buy a new AM5 board and ddr5 and selling my old AM4 parts as compared to just sticking a 5700x3d into my current am4 pc.

If you're building new, i would go for AM5 but it doesn't make sense value wise to move up to am5 imo

This is probably aimed at those still on Zen 2 and prior CPUs wanting an upgrade without shelling out for a whole new motherboard and RAM.

Same here, I hope I won't regret for not buying it at this price

it’s mentioned in the description

Firstly they're using an RTX 3080 12GB and they are using 1440P as the max resolution. I'd be pairing this with a GPU above the level of a 3080 even with a 3080 you can clearly see the performance increases at 1440P with the 5800X3D, the 1% lows will be far more stable as well. It's not worth it if you aren't running higher resolutions and pairing with a high end card.

Intel these days is struggling big time to compete with AMD in most cases.

If you have a credit card that doesn't charge to convert into USD you'll save like 2.5% so for me it comes out to £144.84, now if you get stopped by customs you have to pay 20% vat which will cost you
£173.808

but here are some reviews

"Arrived within good time (8 days), packaging was sufficient. The CPU is genuine and works perfectly, a great saving over UK prices - I paid £150 TOTAL - no tax was added at checkout and no import tax. 100% recommend this seller, thank you!"


"arrived in about 2 weeks to UK, no customs issues and CPU is new with no bent pins"


You always read the reviews, and check out the rating of the shop. All these check out for me
and aliexpress always side with the customer. if you have any problems, you don't have to talk to the seller. just open a case with aliexpress, show it's a dud and they will refund everything, done this and everytime it's been good. the price is cheap compared to what you pay in UK

Are you gaming? I'd go with AM5 for gaming as there is no upgrade path in AM4 this better for those who already have the motherboard and RAM.

Yes, the main thing you want is more cores for rendering. This is good for gaming if you already have an AM4 motherboard.

probably not. Take a look at some you tube videos to compare.

thats the before taxes and fees price. the current deal is £123.77 so its only actually an 80p saving. but i guess 80p is still 80p...

On my end says not able to ship to the UK, not sure if it's just me.
