You could for a while. I believe it was unintended and they updated the website/POS system to stop it. Up until a few months ago you could add any motherboard, any ram kit, and any CPU that was included in a bundle in your cart and get the discounts applied. I was able to make a reservation with 1 board, 1 kit, and every single bundle AMD/Intel CPU in my cart with the full CPU bundle discount applied. They canceled that reservation on me though. I was still able to stick a open box B650, a 6000C32, a 7800X3D, and a 7700X into my cart and get the discounts on both CPUs without them batting an eye though.The Microcenter here just opened. I had heard about ways to get around the bundled items, but never really looked into it. Thanks for the info. Would be nice if they would just allow substitutes so that you don't have to buy it and return/exchange it. Looks like they apply most of the discount to the CPU (at least on the 7700X bundle items I just tried this on) so that at least works in the favor of the consumer.
Now that's very interesting. I noticed that I was able to add two different bundles that used the same RAM kit, but I accidently only had 1 kit in the cart and it applied discounts to both CPUs and motherboards.You could for a while.

This also works with motherboards if 2 bundles use the exact same board. Open box is fine here too. it's really just convenience though. You can always buy just the CPUs at bundle price if you return the bundle items you don't want. When i reserve an order I always add individual bundle items to my cart even when I intend to keep them. It's good to keep your return options open.Now that's very interesting.

AMD gives to themselves. Let's not kid ourselves.AMD: The x86 Robin Hood stealing from Intel's sales and giving to the needy
They are going to be laying off 4% of the workforce themselves. Gaming division in particular is ugly, and it looks like it'll cost some their jobs.AMD gives to themselves. Let's not kid ourselves.

Rooting for you to hit 30-30-30-60-90I Need to tune my Ram tho... seems like this ASUS TRX50 board has no EXPO settting i can just switch to, and needs to be manually config'd.
Even with your current setup, you probably have more than enough bandwidth to satisfy 48 threads with all the data they need for crunching. You may even see that pay off in games that crave bandwidth more than latency.PRO + 4 more sticks + WRX90 board.
You should try this: I have not installed it yet on my 9654 96 core, but from benchmarks on the web, it should do well.yeah i'll do that after tuning and when its on water...
right now on a air EPYC Server heat sink its not doing very well heat wise... i see it peaking at over 94C on prime95 stock which i think is close to thermal throttle. I have a waterblock for it, and the loop will take time to setup and i wanted to make sure everything was in working order and the ram is good.
The ram i have on it is R-Dimms too.
G.SKILL Zeta R5 NEO Series (AMD Expo) DDR5 RAM 192GB (4x48GB) 6400MT/s CL32-39-39-102
I dont think they are as "Flexable" as regular DDR5, so i wont be able to push them like normal ones.
But it is my second time playing with 48GB dimms, so well see.
I really wanted the 9000 series threadripper with X3D, if rumors prove right, but i figured by the time i see them in stock, it will be maybe a year, and i dont think my system can last that long. Well it can, but i wanted an excuse to get a new system.
Also i heard the 9000 X3D will most likely be Threadripper Pro's and i not too inclined to spend that much for a CPU and board and another 4 sticks of ram. This system was already expensive as heck for what i needed. I got maybe a tad bit greedy, but not too greedy, as i was eyeballing that PRO, but couldn't justify the 2000 extra dollars it would of costed.

Not that one... This one
There is at last one that has 3 CPU_12v connections. No need to 2 PSUsOh i forgot to note... this thing is the first time i ever seen a board that asks for this much power:
View attachment 118811
Its dual psu ready, and has a total of 2 x 24pin + 4x8pin + PCI-E 8pin + 6Pin
When i saw the manual i was litterally blown away. You can't make this up, its like asking for a Mr. Fusion from back to the future to power the system.
Yeah i know but why would i need it?
After testing is done, its going under a waterblock which im fairly sure is vastly superior then that air heat sink.
