DO NOT BUY FROM ALIBABA.COM, THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF ! And now Genoa overheats due to them,.

[Markfw]

So I ordered a HSF from them, and they said "Delivery attempt failed". When I asked them, they said no address provided. Then I said "its right on the order, and its valid" then they said, " there is no 9 digit zip code" and thats why it failed. Then I said it was not even delivered to USPS and they just said sorry. Then I asked for a refund and it was denied. Then they cancelled my refund request and said "get it from your cc provider". This is a scammer company. I am now out $93.03 and a heat sink I was awaiting for, for almost 2 months.

I am out $93.03, thats not pocket change. BTW CPU related, since I could not get my Genoa 9654 operating properly due to this,

 

[jpiniero]

Wrong forum?

Wrong forum?

which forum do you suggest, since my CPU will not run properly due to them. I will gladly move it if you have a better idea.

I think this is well known Mark. AliExpress makes eBay and Amazon Marketplace look like angels.
But do issue a charge back if you can.

 

[Markfw]

Aliexpress came through for me. Alibaba.com are the ripoff artists.

Aliexpress are owned by alibaba but seem to be better. I have to check but I might recant my earlier post to you and say I likely bought those transmitters from alinexpress. for domestic companies I've found an expletive laden rant usually causes the offending csa to sthu and do their job.

They're the same company. Which has an awful reputation outside of the third world which has no better alternatives. And Alibaba is the even less consumer-focused division. They focus on business-to-business. Probably can't be bothered for 90 dollars so you'll have to charge back.

id take any schedule from noctua with a grain of salt.

What do you expect? It not like you can reasonably sue them. They are China direct....and if you don't self police, they're more than happy to keep the money.

Also, I think Citibank is more workable when it comes to credit card disputes while Bank of America is more than happy to just deny when the legal cutoff passes.

 

[Captante]

Unfortunately although its possible to sometimes get cool stuff for cheap from those "China-direct" companies, you're really rolling the dice spending more than pocket-change with them.

Hopefully you paid with a credit card or bank-issued debit card so you can charge back. (do so immediately if it's an option!)

Here is the problem. The cooler I need is this https://www.loricooler.com/lori-4u-...active-amd-sp5-lga6096-socket-cpu-cooler.html and they are the only ones that sell. it. If you can find this somewhere else, I would gladly buy it.

There was a reason they took forever back in the day on Ebay...and I doubt it was actually the "shipping" itself taking forever.

Legal minimum for credit cards is 60 days, and it seems OP's credit card is a tightwad company like Bank of America who won't care afterwards.

Almost looks like THEY don't even sell them! (link 404'ed)

Too tired to do a proper search but it appears at a glance that Newegg has a couple (expensive) Noctua coolers which should work albeit awkwardly with some effort. But then @ the price/value of that CPU I'd be mighty careful myself!




EDIT: It appears that there ARE several server-oriented AIO liquid coolers for Genoa available now ... possibly louder than an A380 @ takeoff (lol) but they should get OP up and running safely at least

For example:

Dynatron L32 1U Liquid Cooler For AMD EPYC Genoa 3 (servethehome.com)

Know that it's a platform, sellers are individual companies. Alibaba support is the people you have to contact.

Use whatever cooler and attach it with thermal epoxy. A proprietary cooler isn't essential unless it fits a proprietary space/case.

This might be a viable option with a $200 CPU but with a $2000+ CPU ??

Genoa - Cores - AMD - WikiChip

Genoa is the codename of AMD's EPYC 9004 series of high-performance microprocessors based on the Zen 4 microarchitecture for single- and dual-socket server platforms. Launched in November 2022 it succeeded the third generation of EPYC processors, the EPYC 7003 'Milan' series.[1]

You should do a chargeback and then leave a bunch of negative reviews.

Does a $2000 CPU not come with a stock cooler?

try $12,000 down to $6000.

Edit: actually, $11,805

BTW, aliexpress did get me this one, which work OK, but not great. https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256...st_main.5.21ef1802jpbjpQ&gatewayAdapt=glo2usa $55 shipped

The problem there is the the mounting screws must be torqued to get the CPU to hit the contact pins in the socket.
