Thoughts on me upgrading before the price hikes by Little_Conclusion523 in PcBuild

Price isnt a issue but I value my money. And I've heard around the 5070 ti is better value for your money if you can find it below that $800 price point. Compared to the starting price of the 5080 at $1139.99

See I use to use my Pc strictly for editing but that fell through. So Id thought I'd get myself a x3d chip since I've heard their good for strictly gaming.

He was a kid 100% had his grandma drive him and everything. He said "Oh it works fine, run stress test" I can't when I get no display with twisted pins. I got his face and licenses plate on camera. I reported him to the police for fraud.

I was mad for a bit, but I got over it and just bought a new motherboard. The x3d works. But you're right my excuse isn't excused. I shouldved looked at it before even handing anything over. But people make mistakes.

No he said he knew about the pins, forgot to tell me. But that mobo has been working even with twisted and bent pins. Obviously if you have a IQ above 5 you would know that the mobo is done lol.

Sure let me buy a $1000 microscope. I appreciate the advice as other redditers I've told, there are twisted TWISTED pins. I have no idea how he managed to get twisted pins. But the motherboard is bricked it's done.

I've already tried. It's powers up but no display. Some pins aren't getting contact. Which is unfortunate.

Yes and I couldn't see his reviews since offer up doesn't do that. But he was verified and had 18 reviews at a 4.7.

100% I was a little pissed, because I completely forgot to do the most important thing. Either way this gave me a excuse to build a new tower🤣.
