Deal Details
YMMV: This is a single open-box item in Excellent condition. Availability is limited and it will be sold out when gone.

Best Buy has the Gigabyte B650 EAGLE AX (Socket AM5) AMD B650 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 6E Motherboard, model B650 EAGLE AX, SKU 6582206, in Open-Box Excellent condition for $90.99. Shipping is free with delivery Mon Nov 2. Sold by Best Buy. Pickup was unavailable in the buy box checked today. Add to Cart was available at this price.

Price framing: Best Buy sells this board new for $139.99. Other direct retailer new prices checked today were $138.99 at Micro Center (in store only) and $139.99 at Newegg plus $3.99 delivery. That makes this open-box price $48.00 below the $138.99 Micro Center new price and $49.00 below the $139.99 new price at Best Buy and Newegg. A Walmart marketplace listing was $126.34, which is still $35.35 above this price. Used listings on eBay were lower, but those are used items and not a new or open-box Excellent comparison.

Risk note for motherboards: Inspect the AM5 socket pins as soon as it arrives. Bent pins in the socket are a risk with any open-box motherboard. Check before installing a CPU and use the Best Buy return policy if the socket or board is damaged.

Accessories note: The main product photo shows the motherboard only. No CPU, memory, storage drive, or other build parts are included with this listing. Some manufacturer illustrations for this board show a CPU installed for illustration, and that CPU is not included. Best Buy describes Open-Box Excellent as works and looks like new and includes all parts and accessories, with packaging that may vary or be absent. On arrival, check for the board accessories that belong with a new board, such as the Wi-Fi antennas, I/O shield, SATA cables, and M.2 screws, and contact Best Buy if anything is missing.

Nice find. After seeing how Intel 2026 Q3 earning resulted a 28% stock price drop and CPU is about 60% of Intel's income, I think we all are still waiting for DDR5 RAM sticks.

This board is good enough for 9950x and all other 170W top of the line CPUs.
If the next gen, Ryzen 9 10950X or 10950X3D or 10950X3D2 will still be about 170W TDP, this board will still do the work just fine.
The only down side is that B650 is a bit old. There is only PCIE 4.0 x16 for the GPU, not PCIE 5.0x16. In gaming FPS, the 4.0x16 is about 0%~3% slower than 5.0x16.

Another idea is to spent ~$19 more to get
GIGABYTE - B650 AORUS ELITE AX (Socket AM5) AMD B650 ATX DDR5 Wi-Fi 6E Motherboard - Black for $109. The same Best Buy open box excellent condition. This board offers a better VRM, even with 9950X full work load, the VRM doesn't heat up to 95 degree C or higher. In an open case testing condition, it's about 70~80 degree C.
