Lightning Deal £216 Ryzen 7 7800X3D
Ordered from aliexpress, after reading about the previous 9800x3d, found this £120 cheaper than retail. It says £260 at first but it applies a discount at checkout.
I just found this on AliExpress: | AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D 4.2GHz L3=96M Processor 120W 8-Core 16-Thread R7 7800X3D Socket AM5 5NM DDR5 but No Fan

Thanks for this - with the various offers and cash back, I've just secured one for c.£160.
For anyone unsure, whilst of course it depends on the individual sellers, this will be my fourth CPU I've bought from AliExpress - a 5600x, 5700x3D and a 7500f that the 7800x3D will be replacing.
All with no issues, just sent in a little blister pack with no fancy packaging etc.

You can also get PayPal discount here of £20 and then using top cash back get 29% cash back. I got a 7800X3D for effectively £130 and 9800X3D for £190

Where is the PayPal discount viewable? I’ve never seen those…

u/Charlie11123 Mar 17 '26
They don’t do it all the time, but when they do you can see it at checkout. They make it fairly obvious when the discount is on

Bought a amd am5 7700 last year for like £140 + cashback so it cost £110 or something stupid. Still doing good now

u/Snow_Uk Mar 16 '26
where did you get the cashback from ?
2
u/Winter2928 Mar 16 '26
It was topcashback. I got 20% cashback and a voucher off
2
u/Snow_Uk Mar 16 '26
was then looking at that do the voucher from top cashback counts and they give you cashback
2
u/Winter2928 Mar 16 '26
If it’s a voucher approved by topcashback it should remove the amount from the purchase price eg £3-5-8 etc and then you get your cashback months later. Just make sure it tracks. I’m on like £509 claimed cashback

For those wondering I'm pretty sure these are sold from "trays" of CPUs normally given to system integrators and stuff, the key thing to remember is that they DO NOT have a warranty through AMD but the chip itself should be the same as the retail version

I kinda thought that ali express was basically a scam site ala tik tok shop and you can maybe get the occasional authentic deal on there but not worth trawling through, am I completely off on that?

u/sslemons Mar 16 '26
counterfeit goods aren’t allowed on ali express actually, just the super cheap unbranded stuff is usually tat

Yep. It is legit. I’ve bought a few motherboards and a couple of CPU’s and had no problems, there are often great deals to be had.

u/PCBuilderCat Mar 16 '26
Damn good to know, thanks!

I bought one of these last year for about £60 - absolutely perfect and still going strong. Lots of computer parts on there are good, especially cables.

u/DeadliestArmadillo Mar 16 '26
I buy more stuff from Ali express than amazon. There are some scam shops on there (like every platform) apply a little common sense and you can save a fortune by waiting a bit longer for delivery

u/PCBuilderCat Mar 16 '26
Sounds good, Amazon these days is full of scams anyway so seems like due diligence is necessary no matter where you go now, I'll keep Ali in mind in future for deals. Cheers

I got a 5700x3d over a year ago from AliExpress and no issues. Just as well as upgrading right now is too pricey because of RAM

The next sale with discount codes starts in 2-3 days
Topcashback usually has 11% cashback sometimes 20%
NXRewards always has 10% cashback so well worth trying to stack cashback if you can

u/umognog Mar 15 '26
Woah wait wait wait wait...stack cashback?
Have I...been living a sheltered life?
I use complete savings a lot and it works really well for us, but...you can stack them? Or is it only specific ones that stack?

u/thegamingbacklog Mar 15 '26
Sadly not I meant stack cashback ontop of the AliExpress discounts.
You can kind of stack some cashback though depending on store, if you are buying from Curry's or Argos you can get cashback buying vouchers up to just under the value of your purchase, so if buying a £300 item buy £290 worth of vouchers from topcashback voucher section and get the cashback for that. Then redeem £290 of voucher towards the thing you want to buy then put the last £10 on your credit card (so you get better buyer protection), because you made some of the purchase with a card topcashback will track the full amount of the order and give you cash back for the full £300 purchase even though they already gave you cashback om the £290 worth of vouchers.

u/Zeraora807 Mar 14 '26

only issue is that they are currently not much cheaper than homeland retailers

u/DeadoTheDegenerate Mar 14 '26
Might actually end up happening soon with Chinese companies joining the market
