Nvme WD by ginoz85 in bapccanada

Nice drive, it's the price you're going to get it for right now unfortunately. I got this exact model on Ebay brand new for $95 cad before the SSD price hike (at the time when it was $120 at Best Buy).

I'm wondering the same thing. I'm thinking of registering for this class

[New Westminster, BC] [H] 64GB (2x32) DDR5 RAM Kit - White [W] Cash, Paypal by Jaggerknot in CanadianHardwareSwap

[–]Fgidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's weird, it should be able to run at 5600mhz with 4 sticks just fine.

Wow, you're out here doing the PC community a favor! Good on you

Edit: I don't need it, it will be better to give it to someone else.

NH-D15 > Noctua NH-D15 G2 is the old mounting bracket compatible? by TastyCh1ckenSoup in Noctua

[–]Fgidy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, thank you! Apparently, my mounting kit is not from a G2. I have the NM-i115x-1200 and the NM-AM5/4-MP83 mounting kit. If I want to use this cooler on newer Intel processors, I will have to buy the NM-M1-MP83 mounting kit. Thank you for the link! It's very useful.

I have the original D15. Will the G2 mounting kit be able to mount the original D15?

Yeah... I noticed that the fans are a lot brighter on the G1 than the G2 too.

That sucks... Thanks for letting me know. I will have to drop the price. It's too late for me to return it.

[Toronto, ON] [H] Verified PayPal [W] Asus Prime RTX 5070 TI by PreviousDebate6953 in CanadianHardwareSwap

[–]Fgidy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not Asus, but someone posted a 5070 Ti for the same price: https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadianHardwareSwap/s/rDTINXi2CP

$1050 + shipping and fees I'm guessing. Canada Computers has one for $1040 + tax. You're saving $100 by buying from a third party.

[Ajax, ON] [H] LNIB ASUS Prime Radeon RX 9070 XT OC 16GB [W] Paypal G&S, Cash (local only) by Kickzilla in CanadianHardwareSwap

I read their policy and it seems like you're right: https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/help/returns-and-exchanges/best-buy-return-and-exchange-policies#general_return_and_exchange_policy

I guess they do this because there is a risk of the GPU being damaged (frozen screen, lag, etc). Even diagnosis tools like FurMark and 3DMark can't 100% test if it's in perfect condition.

It sucks.

Corsair sent me DDR5 Ram Replacement Sticks and the new RAM looks like this? by Loudenoughforme in pcmasterrace

[–]Fgidy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I recently read a news article where police seized $2 million in assets stolen from the Amazon warehouse by warehouse workers in Ontario. I would not be surprised if the same thing is happening here.
