Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Upgraded a while back, and I kept this around to be a backup for a while. Turns out I need a new roof, so I’m looking to unload a few things. Card is in good shape, and is more or less the same performance as a 3070. PayPal only (or cash if you happen to be local to Nashville, TN).

It’ll be a big boost just from the much better architecture of Zen 3. Honestly, I would advise anyone on AM4 that wants a cheap upgrade to pop in a 5800x3d at this point. It’s that good of a cpu.
You’re definitely going to have less of a bump at 4K, but it’s there nonetheless. Even if most games you basically break even, when you do run across a game that likes the cache, the difference can be massive.
I have a feeling the 5800x3d is going to go down in the same tier of chips with...
So after a couple days with the 5800x3d in my rig, I’ve been extremely impressed. I’m running 1440p UW and a 4090, and even then the difference has been noticeable. My 2 most played games are WoW and EFT. Both of them are known to benefit from the cache, and it’s nearly a night a day difference...
Selling my 5900x after swapping it out for a 5800x3d. I decided the extra cache was worth more to me than the extra cores. CPU was run with standard PBO settings under a 280mm AIO. Will ship in original box and clamshell.
Asking $275 shipped or $250 local cash (Nashville area).

Another thing I’ve continually read regarding the 5800x3d is that you have to factor in 1% lows more than just overall fps. Essentially everyone seems to say even games where your average fps is virtually identical to the non-x3d chips, the cache really helps to smooth out the 1% dips, so the...
Been a long time since I posted here, but I came across this thread while researching whether moving to a 5800x3d from a 5900x was worth it at all. Well, the cpu went on sale on Amazon, and I decided to order one. With the current used 5900x prices, it seems like it should be very minimal cash...
I mentioned it in a previous post, but if you missed out on a refurb and still want a CX, make an offer over on Greentoe. Offer the refurb price and you’ll likely get a counter offer for about $100 more or so. That said, there’s also no tax or shipping on GT, so you may even come out ahead of...
