Here is the combo for $300. The OP is saying buy 2x $100 gift card and save $20. I assume you need to buy that first to apply to the combo. It is definitely convoluted.

Temp -> Fan speed
50C -> 20%
60C -> 40%
70C -> 60%
80C -> 80%
90C -> 100%
What's your suggestion here?
I should clarify, I think the fan is really noisy once it ramps up (and seemingly tends to stay there) and I have an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 360mm AiO. From my research this seems to be a really good AiO for the bang for the buck.
I'm just wondering if a regular CPU heatsink with fan would have been better noise wise. I was under the impression the AiO would help with noise. Turns out, it's complete opposite so far, or I don't know how to do the fan curve right. I'm pretty sure the thermal paste was well applied too.
Makes me regret buying for $130 on aliexpress!

They are legit.. takes about 2 weeks but worth the wait.
You're not likely to find a CPU only deal as good as that from a stateside retailer

Research and give it a try!
I don't put nearly as much stock in things like "future proof" and "upgrade path" as I used to. Future-proofing is an educated guess at best and usually just a shot in the dark. Some will ever say there is no such thing as "future proof" and they may be correct. When I bought my Ivy Bridge i7-3770, no one had any idea that Intel would rest on its laurels and release a number of successive generations with only marginal improvements. I went from that processor to an i7-12700, skipping several generations as well as a handful of different CPU sockets - not to mention a whole different generation of RAM standards.
I wonder how many people do in-socket upgrades versus just building/buying new systems entirely. In many ways, the upgradability of the AM4 platform is an anomaly in the computer world. The fact that someone who bought a first gen or first gen refresh Zen CPU can get a massive boost just by updating the bios and getting a new CPU is really amazing (going from something like a 1600AF or 2600 to a 5700x3d is a huge improvement), but not typical. We also forget that AMD wasn't going to have older platforms support the 5xxx series Zen 3 processors, only changing its tune in response to consumer backlash. While AMD has indicated it will support AM5 in a similar fashion, there's no guarantee that will happen.
Bottom line is that this is a decent deal. Pair it with a good GPU and you'll have a solid gaming system. Don't focus on slippery concepts like upgrade path, future proof, etc. It doesn't matter that it's a "dead" platform. Guess what - so is Intel's LGA 1700, and they still sell a lot of those.
