Honestly now's the BEST time to buy from Newegg, they're still in "CYA to make us not look terrible" mode because they know GN will do a follow-up.

So they're gonna bend over backward for good CS right now.

It's after the follow-up comes out saying "Hey looks like Newegg legit improved things for customers!" that they'll go back to the money pinching anti-consumer behavior.



Speaking of GN though, they did review this CPU moderately favorably... their benches found like a 1.5-3% difference in most stuff compared to the 5600x, so MAYBE for $10 at Microcenter you get the X anyway, but beyond that the non-x is the better value.

No they did a number on me years before Gamers Nexus.. Now folks acctoss the net are chiming in on the shady ways they do buisness.. It was not just that one Gamers Nexus deal for sure.. I can not recomend them for the pony express shipping, lack of propper packing, Failed rebates, as well as the returns problem Gamers Nexus had. No Gamers nexus did not do any thing to them.. They did it to themselves for years..

This is likely best price since release. I'd grab one if you need one.

Why not flipp a few more bucks in and get the 5600x form a reputable retailer? By the time they pull you package from the pony expres mail bag, it will be after the 4th of July and you package will look like it was there..
Newegg is bad but not hp bad.

I see $229 everywhere else though

Huh ? Amerzon and Microcenters has the 5600 for $200 and the 5600x is $225 and is at the Amerzon or you can get the 5600x from microcenter for $210..

No need to risk it at NoEgg when you concider the other options..

I am thinking 5600x for $10 more is worth it from my local Microcenter with a $20 MB discount. , but I may go the Amerzon route if I feel thre is no good reason to go 5600x IDK, but these are the new normal prices, so I would expect a few deeper discounts on the 5600x as it is a older chip...
Forgot about non X. kept thinking this was 5600x

I would go with 5600 personally since theyre almost the same.

IDK, but these are the new normal prices, so I would expect a few deeper discounts on the 5600x as it is a older chip in short time if I can just wait a bit longer.....
That would be great if micro center was like Walmart and be in every city. Oh it's only in Los Angeles. Because everyone in the United States lives in LA 🤔 🤨

The 5600 just came out. If you can wait, I'm sure Micro Center will have it at $180, or even less eventually. No way are they going to stick 5600X at $210 and have the 5600 just sit at $200 for very long. If you can't wait, get what you need.

Man, Gamers Nexus really did a number on Newegg's reputation, huh.

I do not live in California, but yea it is a pain in the arse to get to MC for me as well.. I look at it like this.. If I continued to suport NoEgg my money would not be going to my local (40 miles each way) MC, and if I wanted more stores closer to me, I better make that effort to support MC.. If you keep supporting NoEgg, you will get more of the same un responsive customer service and shenanigans they are known for..

Exactly, I recently returned an pari of memory, surprised to see they didn't charge me restocking fee, even it says they will.

If I get what some of you are saying, is he ripped me off in the past, got caught, so he aint ripping you off now openly and that makes it OK? .. IDK what ya all are smoking, but I never go back when I get ripped off out of principal. If you dont have principals, you get what NoEgg did.. Just dont feed that beast and it will die and another, hopefully better, will take its place. I have only got good service from MC, so I am partial as any good customer would feel. F-ck the customer and you get what is due. Would any of you know about the NoEgg customer service issues if Not for Gamers Nexus? I had been complaining for years before right here, I just dont have a You Tube channel.
