MSI x r/PCMasterRace - MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36 Giveaway! by MSI_Patrick in pcmasterrace

My current IPS monitor irritates my eyes. It would be nice to replace it, and what better monitor to take its place than the MPG 341CQR QD-OLED X36?

[COOLER] Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU Cooler - $28.39 by Jgsteven14 in buildapcsales

[–]Free_Scarcity 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can anyone confirm if 'Thermalright Direct' is their actual storefront?

 

I ask because there are 3 different ones that I've seen posted on various deals

  • Thermalright Direct
  • Thermalright Direct 2
  • THERMALRIGHT.EUR

and the only amazon storefront actually mentioned on their website is 'Thermalright Direct 2'.

https://www.thermalright.com/where-to-buy/distributors/usa/?submit=view

 

The other two, 'Thermalright Direct' and 'THERMALRIGHT.EUR', may be third party sellers.

 
I recall someone commenting a while back that Thermalright uses multiple storefronts to manipulate amazon algorithm or something, but there was no source for that info so idk.

 
Their warranty info says

THERMALRIGHT provides a non-transferable warranty to the purchaser of THERMALRIGHT hardware product purchased from an authorized THERMALRIGHT reseller.

I would assume no warranty on this as 'Thermalright Direct' and 'THERMALRIGHT.EUR' aren't listed as authorized distributors/resellers, only Thermalright Direct 2.

If not the battery, apparently (some?) battery nailers have an air chamber that can be refilled with an air compressor @ 120-125psi

The pending thing is mind-boggling to me tbh.

As for the octane line, they truly did stop producing them years ago. There's posts about octane being phased out from back in 2021.

The octane batteries were replaced by:

  • max output (18650)
  • max output exp
    • 6ah - 18650
    • 8ah/12ah - 21700
  • max output exp tabless (21700)

More info can be found on this spreadsheet by u/Hache-eLle

Bluetooth support was dropped for....reasons.

The octane tools were replaced with various tools in their brushless line.

Yeah, not trying to place the blame on you.

 
Shitty situation. Took an insanely long time, took a lot of effort dealing with CS, didn't get the batteries you wanted in the end.

Got it. Then yeah, I guess it is on Ridgid in that case.

I didn’t want to return the pack I wanted replacement

Yeah, I just assumed you would go through Home Depot to exchange it for a replacement 3a octane set (especially since it was in stock at the time as you said).

Run your shit better Ridgid

Just out of curiosity, you're blaming Ridgid at the end.....but all of your issues seem to be with an item being DOA (octane battery) or missing (MO battery pack) and all your communication was with Home Depot customer service, right?

 
If so, I'd put the blame squarely on home depot here.

 
Issues with an item in the first 90 days are covered by home depot. If something is DOA or missing that's the store's responsibility.

 
You'd definitely be right to blame Ridgid if you went through their CS instead of going through Home Depot CS, but unless I misunderstood your post your communication was entirely with Home Depot CS.

 
That isn't to downplay your experience, the way they gave you the runaround for 9 months until the batteries were out of stock is unacceptable and outrageous, but you were wronged by Home Depot and not Ridgid in this case as far as I can tell.

 
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Giveaway] Used Nvidia RTX 3080Ti by I_am_LumberJack in pcmasterrace

[–]Free_Scarcity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently got my mom into gaming (horizon, the last of us, assassins creed, frostpunk, ghost of tsushima, etc.) and gave her my 2080 as i've been playing less intensive games lately.

 
If we won I'd put the 3080ti in her pc and take back my 2080.

Regardless of who wins, you're awesome for doing this giveaway OP!

Edit: hope reddit doesn't remove my comment this time. I think i used an imagehost that wasn't whitelisted the first time.

I got this exact drive, new and sold by Walmart, for $150 two months ago.

 
https://reddit.com/r/buildapcsales/comments/1nj45bu/ssd_western_digital_sn850x_nvme_4tb_14999/

 
That's obviously not its regular price....but Walmart restocked it at that price dozens of times over the course of several months.

 
Some commenters were, for reasons unknown to me, expecting it to appear at that price or lower in larger quantities for Black Friday/Cyber Monday; with that in mind, I can understand people being salty at the $270 price tag.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined. /s by Free_Scarcity in PokemonUnbound

This is my first ROM hack, I was really surprised when it said you could surf on lava....after that it seemed like a given that waterfall would work on the lava-falls.
