      Yeah, microcenter deals make the whole rest of the world jealous.

      You have to get them in store too, so if you live in most of the U.S. you don’t have access either. :/

    How do you like it? I’ve been considering buying that combo but leery to take the plunge due to horror stories about the ram and mobo.

    It’s either that or the 12900k one.

    Or I can downgrade to a 5600 x3d but why would I wanna do that?

      Everything fired up no issue for me. I’ve been loving it tbh, core optimizer and PBO are fairly easy with some research, and now I’m putting 5.35-5.4ghz all core at reasonable temps.

    I got the same bundle. One warning: the WiFi chip AMD picked for this mobo is the worst I’ve ever used. I would recommend replacing it with the Intel one. Only costs about $10. Much easier to do before your computer is cased up.

      I haven’t used Wi-Fi in years so it’s not really a concern for me, only really use the Bluetooth function, which has worked great for my 8bitdo ultimate controller. I actually have an Ethernet cable running along my ceiling from downstairs to upstairs, into a 5 port switch for everything in my bedroom.
