    Nice! I could use a free Ryzen 5 1600X as Christmas is just around the corner.

    Can someone living outside US enter if they have a valid US shipping address? I can really use that 1600x.

    Don't bother, AT is a "local" joint. They don't have the necessary reach to be able to organize any kind of contest abroad. Nor will they ever have seeing how things are going for them.

    If you plan on having it shipped to the US address I wouldn't ask and just apply. :)

    Yet another US centric competition. Does the rest of the world not exist or is it just fake news????

    Rest assured the rest of the world exists, and I like it very much.

    Unfortunately, their governments exist as well. And each one has its own rules and requirements for running a contest that make it impractical to offer this contest in other regions.

    Cue the violins...

    Again, unlike other websites AT does not have a global presence. And given how things are going it also wouldn't make sense for them to bother. Their audience is dwindling even at home.

    No global presence? Pretty sure I'm reading from the UK here. Of course, we're essentially America's Airstrip One nowadays.

    I would love me some Ryzen for the holidays!

    I haven't tried an AMD chip since the Athlon X2. Sadly, at least at that time, the "myth" of AMD cpu's not working with certain, niche, high value programs turned out to be true. And I had to build a whole second intel machine that really just put the AMD out of use for everything but gaming. Then came Conroe and the death of AMD.

    Especially given Intel's shady actions of putting hidden software in our CPU's I'm more inclined than ever to give AMD another shot. This would be the PERFECT WAY for me to confirm that there aren't any niche, power user programs out there that simply don't work on AMD, like there used to be.

    CPU without Motherboard - that is makes things different - especially if you don't use AMD in the first place

    Well, i could sure use this to replace my aging Athlon 2 3.0ghz cpu.

    Just let me win some RAM. The rest I'll buy.

    Nice prezzies, my poor old Plex server could do with an upgrade and keep the kids happy with streaming performance.
