A confusing issue involving 9800X3D and Zbrush
The sentence structure wasn't ideal. It seemed to focus on boards and CPUs, noting that whether they're opened or not doesn't really affect the price much—maybe just a minor difference or an exception for someone who prefers new boxes. Boards have pricing quirks because a basic ASRock board priced at $170 is vastly different from a Z790 M-Series board at $1000, which could drop to around $140 or more depending on the seller. In short, for most used buyers, appearance and port availability matter more. Same goes for PSUs—high-end ones like the FireStarter Extreme vs Corsair RM1000X Gold will likely sell similarly regardless of brand.
Recent 13/14th gen models face stability problems and some are defective. My 13900K stopped working just last month and I received a refund. Their reliability isn’t guaranteed, but they perform well in games. I’m considering purchasing 9950X3D or 9800X3D—both suitable for gaming, though the latter isn’t ideal for productivity. Just wanted to share this info. No details on Zbrush.
