Wow! What a beginning!

I upgraded from an aging 2700K to a 3700X just last year, would be kinda greedy to go after this. Good luck, here's hoping someone ends the year on at least a bit of an upper lol
Posted by Kovoet - Tue 15 Dec 2020 11:46
All I can is thanks so much and good luck to everyone

:innocent: On the first day of Christmas, Hexus gave to me (hopefully)
A Ryzen CPU from AMD!

Whoever wins this is one lucky sod! Good luck to all and thanks Hexus!
Posted by ik9000 - Tue 15 Dec 2020 12:47
Sorry Peter, but I heard AMD have said the 5000 series are only for someone called Sam, or married to one. Something like that anyway… therefore I'm expecting SammyC to get this one!

I can’t believe Hexus got their hands on one to give away! Lol

My first entry in the top age bracket!

How about this for an appetiser? On Day 1, one lucky reader will win an eight-core 16-thread AMD Ryzen 7 5800X processor.

Yes, even I've managed to get to the next level! Ho, ho, ho.

Glad to see the return of this, hopefully it'll make some people very happy after what has been quite a trying year for many :iloveyou:

No point entering. Even if you “win” they never send you anything… all just fake clickbait.

Maybe things have changed. But I won a competition and received nothing, if that is not true mods feel free to delete this message.

Over the last decade that I've been entering Hexus competitions, I've been lucky enough to win something twice, and yes, I WAS sent the prize each time.

Posted by ShreddedWheat - Wed 16 Dec 2020 16:35
I would love this CPU, wasn't available when I was buying and there is no way I am playing the scalpers!!

Good thing, as always. Thank you hexus!
Posted by MaQ - Wed 16 Dec 2020 21:15
Sweet, Thanks hexus
Posted by XD_3VIL_M0NKEY - Wed 16 Dec 2020 22:24
Wow! How did Hexus get ahold of all of AMD's stock??
Posted by d032sh - Thu 17 Dec 2020 00:16
Okay. So *sometimes* if you win then they might send you your prize. Still isn't really very good is it?
Posted by LeSWiS - Thu 17 Dec 2020 11:24
That's nice! Cheers!

Edit: Didn't receive the confirmation email for the participation. Did you block GMAIL from entering giveaways?

Posted by miziel - Thu 17 Dec 2020 19:52
It's all going way too fast… I “just bought” from 2000 series… Now it's 5000… I am too old for this rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish :D

I think if anyone here was told they'd won a competition then got nothing then they would feel slightly aggrieved. Wouldn't you?
Posted by tinbin - Thu 17 Dec 2020 23:10

Posted by Strawb77 - Fri 18 Dec 2020 00:39
for the record i have never won anything here- and hexus has always delivered it promptly without fail

(hopefully we`ll be breaking that tradition this time round)

I won a Fractal Design case and water cooler. And yes, it arrived, promptly.

Maybe, in your example, an email went missing. It happens. I nearly lost out of work to the tune of several tens of thousands of pounds because an “Are you interested in ….” email vanished. Never arrived here. Only by sheer coincidence, from a third party that had recommended me and asked if I'd heard, did I find out it had been sent. I contacted the sender and got the work, but never did receive the elusive email.

If your mail didn't arrive. eventually, the prize would (as I understand it) be re-allocated to the first non-winner in line.

All I can say, having been here for a very long time, is that competitions and prizes are a regular and pretty frequent event, and complaints like yours are rare.

#fake news, I won all of the competitions. All of them. The people, they gave them to me. They were stolen by the establishment. Don't let them steal our competitions. Don't let them take our prizes. #four more years of competition winnings to me.
Posted by sventz - Thu 24 Dec 2020 18:29
oh gosh.that is the cpu i've been dreaming for the new pc i'm gathering parts for right now…i never win but i always hope for a miracle!
