    I bought a H11SSL-i + 7302p combo from a Chinese seller called tugm4470 off ebay and it’s been great. They even accepted my best offer. Can’t speak for other Chinese sellers but I had good experience with that one.

    Well this is a timely thread, haha. I’m building out my first unRAID server and I bought the AsRock Rack X570D4U-2L2T (somehow much cheaper on Walmart of all places, shipped by Newegg??) and an EPYC 7282 from tugm4470. They came up a lot in my search for whether it was legit, and it was $100 so pretty low risk.

    I wouldnt buy them. They MAY work, but MAY not. And IF they dont, have fun getting your money back.

    I sometimes buy Chips to repair Commodore computer from China. If I buy a buch (10 or so) usually 2 -3 work. Rest is defect.
