Just to mention that the Ryzen X processors do not have any GPU built in like the G processors. That means if you put an X processor into a motherboard with on board video then you will not be able to use on board video.

Is that true? Doesn't sound right. I would think the motherboard onboard video would output.

You should put the massive qualifier that this only works for new customers in the title, as most people who live near a Microcenter and care about such deals are not new customers and don't qualify for this coupon.
Just need an online bogus number to be new customer. I have been new customer for more than 10 times.

The term "onboard video" is mostly misused nowadays. While it does still exist, mainly in the commercial space, I don't know of any consumer oriented board that has a GPU built into the motherboard. It was quite common like 10 or maybe 15 years ago.

The correct term is really "on-chip video" because the GPU is built into the CPU (or in this case, not built in to the CPU). Even if the motherboard has built-in video outputs (and almost every modern board does), it still needs a CPU with on-chip graphics to make them work.

On-chip graphics were so standard for a while that it got taken for granted that every CPU had it. It's no longer the case, with Intel specifying the CPUs that don't have on-chip graphics with the letter "F" at the end of the model number. AMD, until recently, specified Ryzen chips that do have on-chip graphics with the letter G, and called them APUs instead of CPUs.

But note with the 7000 series Ryzen processors, AMD has once again, for convenience sake, included on-chip graphics. But note it is a pretty basic GPU and much less capable than the "Vega" GPU that it used on the "G" Ryzen processors of previous generations, which were marketed as being capable of gaming to some extent.

Any tips on where the free number is being... procured online?

"We're having trouble registering this mobile number. For the security of your Micro Center account, please try another mobile number from a major US phone carrier that is not an Internet or VoIP phone number."

Using any of the free apps....

Very basic VGA-level graphics, or that perhaps even allows you to launch Windows at low res, should be built into all but the cheapest CPUs, for situations where the video card isn't working and you need to check the BIOS in case there are settings you can change to get it working again--or to configure or update the BIOS so the system can recognize a good video card or new CPU. We're talking 1995-era circuitry that shouldn't appreciably add to a CPU's complexity or cost. Plus it would end a lot of head-scratching by people who don't realize that those MB video ports are just pass-through and require CPU video to work.

They do that so the price looks better, allowing more click bait crap.
I dunno. I used one of these deals last summer to get my 5600X. The deal plus the comments in the thread made me realize that all I needed was a new phone number to become a new customer. I signed up with my work number and got a good deal. I'm glad someone posted that one.

I imagine that there's a lot of people out there with a spouse or a friend that has no need for MicroCenter and would be happy to use their phone number to help you save $50.

I bought the 1700x on a similar deal when i built my pc 4-5 years ago. its lasted me up until now. I can see this cheap 8 core being a great cpu for years to come. the am4 platform is eol from AMD BUT that doesnt discount the value of it. Still great for gaming and productivity.

Bought a 5600x for this price from Amazon last Nov, really happy with the performance. Make sure to update your BIOS before installing this thing, if you got an older board like I do

I have this processor. IMO it's the way to go and this is a slick deal. More cores than 5600x and less wattage than 5800x
