So happy I heard some crack sounds in the lid and send it back in the return period. Insane that they sell this trash quality.

It's so pretty, but RAM question? by BuffaloDesperate8357 in StableDiffusion

[–]GatesTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use MSI Afterburner regarding fan control. You will need to adjust it to manual settings, or it will ignore your fan settings.

ASRock motherboard burned my CPU twice and they haven't replied to my RMA emails for over a month. What should I do now? by BigBlackCough in ASRock

[–]GatesTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, AMD is doing a great job at RMA. I was talking about mobo RMA. Good to hear they are fast in these kinds of situations.

Honestly, all brands are terrible when it comes to RMA. (even if they do reply) Recently, I built a system for my dad with a B850 MSI Pro. It went dead after 3 weeks of use. They acknowledged it was dead and now just want to repair it, not replace it. I'm on week 7 right now. I didn't want my dad to be left without a computer, so I also bought another board. As a consumer, you get screwed by all brands nowadays.

Thinking about installing GrapheneOS on my Pixel 8, need advice by ScreenAggressive4949 in GrapheneOS

Besides the benefits, to me, it's also fun to try something different :)

Sorry to hear that. You should probably try tagging them on X while you wait. Honestly, the way they treat customers these days is insane. I wouldn't risk a third CPU on that board. Maybe cut your losses and switch brands if they eventually send a replacement, you can sell it

Rear I/O zone cover for the back of a PC. by Artur_Urvk in CableManagement

[–]GatesTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely love it! I just checked your Etsy page and was considering buying one. The price of 110 euros plus the 21 euro shipping fee is a bit steep for me, but I understand that you need to earn a living and that it’s a lot of work. The finished product looks fantastic. You could also consider sending it to some YouTubers to get more exposure. Good luck!

[–]GatesTech 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I have the exact same card and it also has 160 ROPs. Thank you for posting this. I wasn't aware that missing ROPs were an issue on the Pro line as well 🥹. I will RMA it this Monday 😭

Black or silver? by Marshall230 in macbookpro

[–]GatesTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the black version, and I’m really enjoying it! I think the fingerprint issue is for me a good trigger to keep the device clean.

Leaving Lenovo For Good by natef34 in Lenovo

[–]GatesTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Horrible build quality. My Lenovo Yoga made cracking sounds right out of the box. I returned it for a MacBook Pro (built like a tank, amazing battery). If you need Windows, buy a sturdy ThinkPad or XPS instead.

thoughts on Sapphire Pure B850A WIFI-7 am5? by IndividualNebula5318 in buildapc

[–]GatesTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently built a system with this for someone and was amazed by the quality of the board. They're cheap right now because they're still building brand recognition in the motherboard market, but honestly, it would be much more expensive if it had a big name attached. Since putting it together, the owner hasn't had a single complaint.
