**My copy pasta from the Ryzen 2700X deal earlier today, still relevant!**

This deal is getting a lot of traction so buyer beware (!): the 300-Series (X370, B350, B320) of AMD motherboards do not all natively support the Ryzen 2000 series out of the box and may require a user-installed BIOS firmware update. Some stores do carry the 300-Series motherboards with later versions of the BIOS that is compatible with the Ryzen 2000 series but not all - especially for the old stock 300-series motherboards that are on sale/clearance pretty much everywhere as stock of X470 increases as well as the impending release of the B450 chipset.

Updating a BIOS firmware on a motherboard requires you to already have an AMD AM4 CPU that can post the motherboard so the BIOS can be updated. If you do not currently own an AM4 CPU to perform the BIOS update, AMD provides free "boot kits" that you can submit a request for at this link [amd.com] which is pretty much a loaner FX-series CPU that is lent to you free of charge (although I'm not sure if you pay the return shipping), or you check if your local computer store offers this service (my MicroCenter offered the service for $20).

Any difference between the 2600 and 2600X besides the max boost? Fry's has the 2600 on sale for $169.99 + 25% off through Google Express comes to $127.50 + tax so wondering if it's worth the extra money to go with the X. Thanks.

X has higher power usage (95W) and a better CPU cooler, if I recall correctly.

Anyone had issues getting their stuff from refurbforless on ebay?

I bit on the 200.00 price for this from Newegg, but 30+ savings might get me to change my mind.

I have not. I was also able to return an item easily to him (bought a 1700X when they first came out and it had a bent pin, wasn't his fault since it was sealed). He accepted it back np

Ya, could have been anything. Maybe something wasn't calibrated correctly or the metal for the pin didn't cool quick enough and the weight made it bend over.

It wasn't massively bent, just barely enough to not fit in the socket. I could have straightened it out, but I didn't want to risk breaking a pin off of my new cpu

Nice find, snagged this a month back from the same seller when it was $190. Wish this coupon had been around when I got it back then. My CPU is working great, box was clearly original sealed, would buy again.

Google Express discount caps out at $30 max, so you're looking at ~$20 price diff between 2600 vs 2600X. Here's my build/shopping spree today:

Ryzen 5 2600X - $161 @ eBay (w/ 15% code)
ASRock X370 PRO4 AM4 AMD Promontory - $60 @ Newegg (after rebate)
Patriot DDR4 16GB 2666MHz Dual P (2x8GB Modules) CL16 - $135 @ Frys (w/ $30 off via Google Express) https://www.frys.com/product/9478721

Are there ever combos with the 2600x? If I'm not a gamer is this too much for me considering I could go with 2400g w Vega?
