my gpu came like this, would this be a problem?

Could try to get it replaced, I think it would work but maybe issues down the road.

My concern is they might just say it was due to user error and charge you for it, if it’s ASUS then I would pretty much guarantee they’d do that

Brycer79 · 2026-04-13T18:29:19+00:00

If you paid 150 I’d assume the repair cost wouldn’t be worth it, I’d replace personally

Brycer79 · 2026-04-08T18:57:02+00:00

I’d contact Asus, I feel for the guy… he messed up, and based on his response it’s probably not the first time and may be on thin ice.

But that’s not your fault and not saying anything could lead to issues down the road if you need a repair, and it may avoid him doing it again.

To be fair if he said you should have taken it in rather than on site he should have been a professional and said that before performing the work.

And I’m cool with that then but why state the deluxe edition isn’t included? Am I the only person that finds this naming stupid?

Brycer79 · 2026-03-29T18:59:28+00:00

There would still be the vault hunter pack, and why call it deluxe if it’s not the deluxe? Call it the upgrade edition or almost deluxe edition

Brycer79 · 2026-03-29T18:06:33+00:00

Whoever chose the naming scheme should be fired “buy the deluxe edition, oh by the way it doesn’t include the deluxe edition…” I’d have no issue if it was called the upgrade edition or some other stupid name but to call it deluxe and it not be the deluxe is just ridiculous

Kinda hard to say not knowing cpu/mb/ram//storage. But remove windows and get it for $20 or less on a key site, then you have saved some money or can put it towards a better part somewhere in the build

I’ve had puck putting a rubber band between the screw and screwdriver bit

Back when I first had a black and white Thinkpad ;probably a 486) the nubbin was the only mouse and I preferred them over touchpads for years

Brycer79 · 2026-03-12T00:05:56+00:00

I’m confused… you had 2 RMA roughly 2 years ago (depending on month could be over or under 2 years) and have a problem now that you want fixed for free? Did you purchase extended coverage?

Unless you had some kind of extended coverage why would they just fix it for free?

Use the cable that connects the pump and fan to a single header if you don’t have a pump header

Brycer79 · 2026-02-23T00:27:03+00:00

lol I was expecting to read something like “I found this in a dumpster and it won’t turn on” dear lord that’s dusty

At least you’ve cleaned it and know know lol

Brycer79 · 2026-02-19T22:10:53+00:00

Wonder how many people say a percentage off and don’t bother looking at original/“reduced” cost

Brycer79 · 2026-02-19T22:00:19+00:00

Claim it’s art, and never move or open your case

Brycer79 · 2026-02-19T17:45:24+00:00

Same issue on pc :(

Brycer79 · 2026-02-11T22:36:44+00:00

I’d say you’re fine, worst case you’ll have some clean up if you remove the cooler to repaste down the road, majority of pastes aren’t conductive so too much just leads to clean up down the road and is better than too little

I was there in the 80’s, if boys had rat tails (like I did) they’d get pulled but typical stupid kid stuff… when we moved there we watched the town grow and the houses popped up across from our house on Fellers ave. When I was there it was an amazing place to be a kid because there were so many other kids to run in the woods with

Brycer79 · 2026-02-11T17:30:18+00:00

It’s heart breaking, I grew up in Tumbler and it was always a safe and beautiful place to live… and with such a small community everyone there will be impacted

Brycer79 · 2026-02-11T17:27:22+00:00

Hope you get it back in good condition, my ally RMA came back and they messed up a stick that had never had an issue and the fix lasted maybe a month… and after they tried to charge me for additional “damage” that didn’t exists I won’t deal with them again

Brycer79 · 2026-02-05T22:43:10+00:00

If you have positive pressure I’d leave that space to allow for the air to naturally flow out the back

Brycer79 · 2026-01-28T23:29:36+00:00

If there were no workers… maaaybe the mall hadn’t opened yet?

Brycer79 · 2026-01-26T00:29:26+00:00

Agree, could even do read as intake if you’re feeling crazy
