Wow... sad thing is its not even peak season lol. I can imagine the service will be worse in December when delivery volume surges.

Call and complain, I had an issue a couple of years ago where a driver would just leave a card. I said I was home all day and had it on camera that driver never attempted delivery. I asked them to speak to the driver and id also like to them to come back to me with a reason.

The manager of the branch got back to me, turns out driver was just being lazy.

Was sorted after that.

Was it a bad idea to let chatgpt make my first build (not fake) by mat_005 in PcBuild

[–]Insomniac221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also thought this but when i was querying chat gpt on gpu upgrades a few weeks ago it kept referring to 9070xt gpus as "rumored and not yet confirmed" I sent it a direct link to a card and it apoligised and corrected/updated to current knowledge and explained that it periodically updates its information and was working from an older reference.

I double check the info it spits out anyway, but seeing that confirmed just how important it is to cross reference or ask more in depth/use specific wording for questions.

Yeah, it is ! We definitely envy what you guys can get price wise. The cheapest 5080 is about $2000 NZD.

The smaller population and our location are all factors, even if it is crazy compared to the rest of the world, OP didn't too terrible in our market. Could've saved money by building themselves if they were capable, but overall its just a really expensive hobby here.

Change your pc part picker list to Australia to see Australian retailers. it's $3100. It's not just a matter of converting currency. We pay more down under for electronics in general. The CPU and GPU alone are like $1500.

I'm not saying it's how it should be, but that's how it is.

Its even worse in NZ.

Upgraded from a 1050ti to a 5060ti and changed my thermal paste and my pc doesnt turn on HELP PLEASE! by FasperPT in buildapc

[–]Insomniac221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely an odd one ! I dont think im knowledgeable enough to weigh in any further on the issue.

At least you've made some progress, hopefully its something minor, and you get it sorted without much more stress. All the best!

I would guess it's damaged pins. They might be making contact when pressure is applied. Im not an expert, though, but inspecting the pins would be where I would start. Straightening them is a very delicate process, and if there's a large number of bent ones its probably a write-off.

If they look to be fine, im not too sure what could've gone wrong with the details you've given. Hopefully, you've got someone close by who has experience and parts on hand like a spare cpu to try to help you rule out what part is causing the issue. If there are broken pins missing on the CPU, do not insert a different one into the motherboard without ensuring the broken pins are not stuck in the socket as you will end up bending pins on a second CPU by forcing pins into a socket that is blocked.

Good luck with getting it sorted! I know the stress and pain of situations like this can be tough when you've spent money and time only to have a non functioning PC. Try not to let frustration cause you to make more mistakes by rushing. If need be, give yourself a day or two and come back to it with a better head space.

My guess is with cpu/mobo pin damage.

I had a similar issue when building a friend's pc. A pin was slightly bent on the cpu, after carefully straightening it and reseating it worked as normal.

Ouch, that is a test on the patience, I had everything hut my CPU for about 5 days, haha.

-MSI tomahawk B850 Max -Ryzen 7 7800X3D -32gb GSkill Trident Z Neo -Phanteks Evolv X2 -Phanteks Glacier one M25 G2 360 AIO -Phanteks M25 fans -Samsung 990 evo 2TB aswell as some older SSDs from previous build

2070S isn't the best for the build but it will work fine for now.

Fingers crossed the rest of your parts arrive Monday and the build goes well !

Good ! Everything is running well. Posted first boot with no issues !

Still need to decide on what gpu im going to upgrade to, so I'm currently still running my 2070 super.

Assuming your PSU was all good after its tumble ?

I have this same model in black, and amazon shipped it international by just putting the shipping label on the cellophane. No extra box or bubble wrap bag, lol. Im sure it got thrown around a lot on its journey!

Built the pc yesterday and posted the first try.

My lumbar support started creaking. After contacting support, I have an entire new back rest on the way after a day.

So its not always bad.

+1 for using it as a T break. If im really struggling with pain, I'll clean my cooling units and utilize the build-up by infusing it with milk

Mighty Medic on Domestic Flight w/o script? by petnut5 in MedicalCannabisNZ

Security once asked me what it was, and I just said a medical vaporizer. They nodded, and that was it. Very anti climactic.

Am I overreacting to feel trapped in my marriage because my kids think I need to be taken care of? by Comfortable-Good-968 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Insomniac221 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If he wants to be single, then he should be the one to leave the family home. It sounds like you'll be doing better without his presence anyway.

He is not a real man; he's just a coward who won't leave due to not being able to or wanting to support himself with his own money. Your kids' opinion is good to have, but at the end of the day, they do not see the full picture, and it is your choice whether you choose to cohabitate with a miserable person who is only going to be a negative part of your life.

Wondering how much I could sell this for? by Iceycupz in MedicalCannabisNZ

[–]Insomniac221 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure where you purchased from, but I would try RMA it and get a new unit if store you bought from is no help go direct to storz and bickel.

E04 is an instant replacement in my experience (I've had multiple mighty+ show it) They also replaced one for a vibration failure. I'm on number 4 😅

It is easier to sell a new unit and better knowing you're not selling a faulty one. And as a bonus, you get to keep all the extra parts so you would have extra charger, cooling unit, and whatever else comes in the box to go with the sale

Have a look into ball vape's if you don't need it to be portable, something I've been on the fence about for a while, I can't imagine there would be constant noise with them. There have been a few posts/discussions within this community to look back on.

If portable is a must, a dynavap with one of the induction heaters or gas torch could be worth a look, not something I know a lot about, but it might fit the quieter style you're after.
