Hi,
I'm considering upgrading my system, which is mostly used for 3D creation softwares and other multithreaded apps, as well as a bit of games. But I can't spend a lot.
I've found those cheap socket 2011 bundles on AliExpress, for less than $300 delivered : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/bran...756843461.html
No information on who makes the motherboard, or the RAM, but that looks quite interesting for the price. In general, cheap and socket 2011 don't go together.
Has anyone dared ordering a bundle like that or one of those cheap unbranded socket 2011 motherboards ? There are plenty of those on AliExpress, and the same ones can be found on eBay for a higher cost.
I know about the fake video cards they're selling on AE, like this one (which would be a GTS450 according to the CPU-Z specs : https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Orig...9-916354607f6b)
So I fear it might be something similar. Though those Xeon CPUs don't work on cheaper chipsets so I doubt they could brand a lower end chipset as an X79.
Thanks !
