[Unsure if legit, buyer beware] Multiple Supermicro EPYC boards for cheap

[int0x2e]

I am honestly not sure if this is a scam and Aliexpress is not as good as eBay so I'd urge caution.

Besides tarrifs, seems like there is a $50-100 extra cost for shipping per item, but it might vary by location (I'm not based in the US)

H11SSL-i for $146.41, or with a 7551P for $163.56

H11DSi Rev 2 for $200.04 or with 2x 7551 for $208.15

H12SSL-i Rev 3 for $233.28, or as part of a bundle with CPUs and 256GB of DDR4


I find it odd they don't name SM in their listings, but I've seen similar patterns for legit vendors on AliExpress in the past.
These are supposedly heavily discounted sale prices for NYE.
Their prices are good, sometimes even great, but not half-off as far as I can tell.
Some products on their store seem like a good deal while others seem to be at or around market rate. Not everything is a bargain.
Their store is supposedly active since 2023.
They claim to have a 90 day return window. I assume shipping won't be refunded and that is not negligible.
In theory, I could see these as adjusted prices for the season and US tarrifs, but I dunno...


Anyone thinks these are legit / worth the risk?

They're quite a bit cheaper than the ones flooding eBay, but given just how many H1SSL-i + 7551P bundles are flooding eBay, it wouldn't surprise mf if this is people who are desperate to unload stock that's just sitting around.

I'm kinda tempted to order something and see what happens.

Aliexpress shows free shipping (in all 3) to Finland. 25€ off from H11DSi with code "CDVIO25", so about ~190€ in the end for the mobo alone (Might be different depending on your countrys VAT rate, Finland is 25,5%)

All 3 are not available to Germany

Mixed reviews with a bunch of 1-star negative reviews

If anyone buys and doesn't get scammed, let us know here.

The included 256GB DDR4 is an impossibility right now..

Most of their listings for memory on its own were actually quite expensive. I assume this one is older, and might even be cancelled if anyone orders it...

Had a look through seller offerings and given the range of his wares i would assume it is some sort of decommissioning sale.

Looks i was wrong see below.

The last link is from a different store

I missed that. Sorry!
Their rating is quite a bit lower actually...

I actually already ordered from both, so we'll have to wait to find out how wise of a decision that was...

he also sells cheap RAM but you can only buy a single stick which isn't terribly useful.

Which one? 170 for 2933 64G is not that cheap

I am building compute nodes, so I don't need large capacity, just fast RAM. The 8GB 3200MHz are cheap, routhly half of what I see on ebay. Haven't checked the other variants.

Yeah, 8GB modules are cheap. Wish I'd bought the 64GB 3200 last summer for 60 euros.

Anyway, you get to choose the number of RAM modules when you add to cart. Just add more.

The plus sign is greyed out for me either on the page or in the chart. Can only order one.

 

[ca3y6]

Looking at the other prices, I think it's a mispricing that will likely result in cancelled orders on Monday. I ordered a H12SSL-i and a Epyc 7513 (seems to be the cheapest price/performance, along with the 7713).

Prices I see are in GBP, but I see from the same vendor:

H11SSL-i for 415

H11SSL-i for 365

H12SSL-i for 226

None of that makes any sense.

H12SSL-i Rev 3 for $233.28, or as part of a bundle with CPUs and 256GB of DDR4

I asked the seller and the pricing is wrong (as expected). They also have an Alibaba store

 

[ca3y6]

The seller shut down their whole store, but marked my orders as shipped. So they may honour their mispricing, which would be unusual but commendable. Or I might receive a bunch of stones...

Are you sure ? I still see it
