I'm still undecided on whether to sell these 2 main PC components and some old "battlestations" (32/64GB ram upgrade and 1TB ssd upgrade , no fixed schedule for 5700x3d). if I do go through with it, I'll " BRB " since I won't be at my main workstation from December through March or April(till it sold out) plus I have specific projects at other locations so this PC will get a long hibernation.
I just asked an acquaintance of mine about memory prices in Hong Kong versus mainland China(around futian or quangdong for china), the Hong Kong pc part prices can be two to three times higher. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to use Taobao or mainland JD app(supported payment gateway,customs, shipping to other country,etc). Hand carry would be easier choice
crazy times , I've been looking for RAM with chips made by CXMT and Nanya (Nanya is Taiwanese) because i have insatiable curiosity regarding those chips
By the way, the RAM I'm currently using actually comes from that region, color me shocked, the parent group is Essencore. Back when I was shopping for parts, I was frustrated that most memory brand like corsair, patriot,gskill was sold out (this was dec 2024) so the shop assistant suggested this brand and it turned out to be quite durable.
