I'm testing it to evaluate its performance versus my 3700x, and the person mentioned it's uncommon to locate one in Singapore.
In my view, it's not worthwhile. You can locate a 3600, which performs better in 90% of scenarios unless the task is strictly multi-threaded. Just check a gamer Nexus or a hardware unboxed video.
You mentioned having the 3700X. It seems you'll notice that while the 1800X might offer better performance per dollar, it could lag in several areas. For a workstation CPU, especially with limited options for eight-core processors, spending $200 on the 1800X wouldn't be excessive, but even then, the 3600 generally handles tasks more efficiently despite having two fewer cores and four fewer threads. If you decide to purchase it, keep in mind its overclocking characteristics differ from newer Zen 2 chips, so it will perform better with an all-core boost. As I remember, OCs around 3.9-4.05 GHz are typical for original Zen CPUs without any special cooling solutions.
