    Paypal 20% cash back promo

    Nope I had multiple purchases before they capped it and they were all paid out within a few weeks. You should definitely contact them at this point, especially as they are hurting financially and just replaced their CEO due to lack of progress finding new ways to make money. I’m betting this...

    MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard $349

    hmm yeah I'd probably go with the right angle plug, they tend to sit pretty flush. I am a little OCD too with the aux power plugs, I just tend to plug them in when I have the ability to just so I'm not left wondering. I will say with my 5090, I was seeing some oddities with my older EVGA...

    [Dead] Razer Hanbo Chroma RGB AIO Liquid Cooler 240mm / 360mm. $29.99 / $39.99

    Yeah that's crazy cheap, looks like Razer is either getting out of the AIO business or there's some major/high defect rate on this particular model and they are just liquidating them. My experience with Razer fans is that they also tend to be very loud at their default settings with an annoying...

    MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard $349

    For the PCIe lane stuff, this guy did a video on pretty much every launch X870/E board that I was looking at. Short, sweet, visual super simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjpYG1le0FE For the supplemental pcie power, from what I remember reading it was mainly for peripheral power, RGB...

    Paypal 20% cash back promo

    I made some super early purchases and the cash back already came through last week. Also, I was partially refunded on one order and it applied the credited amount to the installment payments at the end I believe and I didn't lose any pending points in the process, it looked like a payment on...

    DEAD: HP OMEN MAX: 16" QHD+ IPS 240Hz, Ryzen AI 9 HX 375, RTX 5080, 32GB DDR5, 1TB SSD notebook direct from hp

    Great deal on that laptop, spot pricing for the 32GB of RAM alone is $400-500 if its SO-DIMM and not soldered. Can't comment on the quality of HP in general in recent years but their warranty/service should be decent being a US-based company that has to compete with Dell (best in the OEM PC biz...

    Amazon Back Friday Deals 2025

    Yep, looks like a "hey this is what we think it costs because we're dishonest, but we have it on sale for BF for just $730, what a great deal!"

    Paypal 20% cash back promo

    Same deal I got (along with $600 worth of filament with 20% back haha). The printer is insane, haven't stopped printing with it since I got it. I mentioned this deal a few days ago with the Corsair stuff, figured everyone knew about it sorry about that! Sounds like they did nerf it bigtime...

    Corsair 2xQX140mm Black fan kit $46 after Promo, 6500D WHITE and BLACK Case $69.99

    Yeah it’s a great deal I still have a 6500D in a box that I’ll probably save for a future build. Added another deal for a qx140mm all black fan kit, PayPal cashback is gone for those who used it already. Save yours if you have it for something bigger. https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16835181458

    Amazon Back Friday Deals 2025

    I'll give Amazon credit, their use of AI to curate and front relevant deals is making shopping there much less tedious than in years past. I'm basically seeing 7 "tiles" of subcategories with deals highlighting all the diff categories I've shopped or visited a lot in the past.

    Corsair 2xQX140mm Black fan kit $46 after Promo, 6500D WHITE and BLACK Case $69.99

    updated post for a nice deal on QX140mm black fans for anyone who bought one of these cases https://www.newegg.com/corsair-qx140-rgb-expansion-kit-case-fan-140mm-rgb-led/p/N82E16835181360 I picked up 4 for my 2nd build in white, it clashes a little bit but the price is unbeatable and the...

    Amazon Back Friday Deals 2025

    Looks like Amazon built Rufus AI price checker right into their app now using the same API CCC used. May be worth cross referencing a few times but it looks accurate to me.

    MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard $349

    there's a 20% paypal cash back rebate going around too but it likely excludes Amazon. But if BB or Newegg or some other participating retailer is close in price, it might work out better overall.

    MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi Gaming Motherboard $349

    I think up to 3x m.2 with 1x NVMe 5.0 in the top slot is fine before you have to start making decisions about PEG 5.0 lane bifurcation. This guy made a bunch of videos around X870/E launch that was the best resource I found that explained PCIe and m.2 config for a variety of motherboards...

    Corsair 2xQX140mm Black fan kit $46 after Promo, 6500D WHITE and BLACK Case $69.99

    nice, I'll update the top post with the black link 6500X RGB still nowhere to be found, not even Corsair's web store has it so that could be a sign they are EOL since they usually drop ship from the distributors regardless of which retailer sold them.
