Newegg is offering a US-only combo deal: AMD Ryzen 9900X plus an Asus TUF motherboard for $659, a claimed $274 saving, bundled with free 16GB DDR5 RAM and a free 240mm AIO liquid cooler. The deal is a retail promotion aimed at PC builders. Why: This is a US Newegg promotion and does not directly apply to Malaysian buyers, but the $659 price point for a 9900X + motherboard combo is a useful benchmark for comparing local Malaysian retail pricing when sourcing parts for local AI/ML workstations or homelab builds. |
| 13 Aug 2026, 8:05 PM | Tom's Hardware | 2.0 | Maxsun Terminator B850M Pro II Motherboard Review: Comparable features, but US pricing is over MSRP
Tom's Hardware reviewed the Maxsun Terminator B850M Pro II, a budget AM5 B850M motherboard with a solid feature set and average performance. The review concludes that current US pricing above MSRP undermines its value proposition against competitors. Why: Only relevant if you are actively speccing a budget AM5 desktop build; the takeaway is to check street price against MSRP before buying this board, as it is not competitive at current US pricing. No actionable impact for software builders, AI/ML practitioners, or startup founders. |
