Do it yourself they said.... it'll be fun they said....

Thought I would give you all a wee laugh. From a major online retailer. Clearly either getting their stocks "checked" or not checking returns properly. Apparently another customer got a box of clay [rollinglaugh]




Thought it felt a little light

All sorted now thankfully!

 

[SpyderTracks]

Jeez, man, wonder if there are people out there that would fall for that?

To be fair, clay is silicone based.... :smartass:

To be fair I don't think the culprits are sending the old kit back in order to fool an end user, I guess it's more towards fooling any weighing that gets done on receipt/dispatch. Stranger things have happened though I guess

Would it run Crysis though?

Cracks me up every single time [rollinglaugh]

That looks like Nvidia Quadro FX 5800 from around 2008

21st place.... not bad for a 1st attempt

These AMP cards are awesome! Temps are so low.

I quite like the look of Asus's new 2080 ti with the AIO cooler. As in, the one completely built into the card.

That does look really special. Temps will be interesting.

These chips overclock really well though. 2.1ghz without even breaking sweat. I haven't touched the voltage either. Adding in bonkers cooling and upping the voltage will see some silly figures on a good chip

5Ghz is the most I've managed on my 9900k so far. I might try 5.1ghz but I don't think I'll get past that. Didn't win the silicone lottery with the CPU at least

I love the packaging of the new CPUs. I had seen pictures of it but I wasn't sure of scale. I know that we obviously pay for it but it's a nice touch to seem like something is a bit special.



Love a neat build


First power on


RGB is over-rated, if I must though... it has to be red. Bit of a shame as it lives in a cupboard under the stairs.



Out of curiosity, is reviewing parts ok? I was absolutely blown away with the R6 case, it's so much smaller than I expected too. The Antec it replaced was so much bigger. I would review the bits I used if that helped customers make decisions on which parts to chose in their build.

:rockon:

I suppose I should screen shot it as it won't last

 

[Oussebon]

Regarding the 'bricks' thing, have a look at the 2TB 970 Evo Plus listing user reviews... mind-blowing.

Makes them sending me a customer return with open packaging as "new" pale in comparison...

 

[Scott]

There's clearly a rather gaping hole in their handling of either returns or straight up theft from employees.
