amd

junior jay
#

also is my ram not more optimized for amd?

#

the one i had

#

I’d suggest the silicon power kit for a bit more. I don’t think you’d really wanna spend the extra time tuning your RAM.

refurbished parts are amazing.
just be careful about the price as they often say u save enormous amounts but u pay more than the new price.
i purchase anything refurbished if possible.
could never tell the difference in dozens of products if it was new or refurbished (often its just a returned mispurchase that was never used, besides confirming in the refurbishing process its all good with it)
if got my monitor (dell 2422) for 80 bucks, which would have cost over 150 back then.

#

that refurbished mobo deal is absolutely amazing, makes me think of upgrading to AM5 again xD

#

so, as long as it is a confirmed store, u basically avoid the risks of the used market, get stuff as good as new, still get some form of warranty and its way better for the environment as well.
absolutely embrace refurbishing whenever possible. one of the rare cases where all parties win
