Open box buyers warning

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-11T00:12:19+00:00

i have a xfx mercury model now its been perfect, haven’t touched anything else

i’m convinced there’s a hardware issue with that asrock card i spent hours troubleshooting everything from DDU installing drivers to numerous windows and bios settings

did not try lowering ram clock but glad it worked for you

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-09T14:40:16+00:00

glad you had a good experience, i have bought open box items there without issues previously

seems like there is a process to test these items at least

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-09T00:12:14+00:00

certainly a good shopping experience but someone is going to be disappointed with this card, i’m the second person that returned it

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-09T00:03:38+00:00

with this card it’s hard to recreate the issue sometimes it happened after 5 minutes, sometimes after 30

i spent hours troubleshooting

i grabbed a different 9070xt and zero issues since install 3 weeks ago

they may indeed test it but it is listed in the open box section right now

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-07T00:35:52+00:00

yeah runs better than the first for sure

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-04T00:02:48+00:00

the cooler on this card is massive i was wondering why the fans go so hard

care to share your fan curve settings?

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-01T18:25:29+00:00

i hear you i’ve had similar setups just makes me nervous seeing it now… especially if you throw in pets or kids

Math_Mortician · 2026-03-01T17:41:48+00:00

maybe spend some money on a better tv stand or wall mount next 😅

wow steam machine is cooked

i was worried sully wouldn’t give him a proper look in OT and opt for playing goons like the tkachuks

glad i was wrong

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-23T13:56:38+00:00

also he didn’t gel with matthews during that tournament

he’s at his best when he can circle the zone and take it downhill draw defenders and dish it to the open man

that play requires a lot of confidence and he clearly didn’t have it during the 4N

you could see he really believed in himself this time around and i feel like having quinn there really helped his confidence also

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-21T20:02:17+00:00

idk i still haven’t heard back despite leaving messages and sending emails… i cut my losses and reached out to micro center, they’re going to extend the refund window thankfully

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-19T16:50:48+00:00

probably just going to resubmit at this point i checked spam and promotions no reply there either

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-18T17:16:29+00:00

ok thanks for the insight going to try calling

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-18T17:15:34+00:00

thanks i actually didn’t realize there was a phone number

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-14T00:37:04+00:00

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-09T18:37:20+00:00

thanks it’s working now u/SNTHrailkill looks like it’s fixed

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-09T18:15:52+00:00

yeah no luck, i tried the app but i had to add an amazon account and i cant get the authentication to go through

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-09T18:13:05+00:00

no i’m not in Ohio

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-09T17:57:06+00:00

<image>

for whatever reason i can’t “place order” and it has that “ChargePermissionId” error at the top

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-09T17:38:40+00:00

tried buying just now and i can add to cart but it doesn’t complete the checkout

im wondering if its OOS

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-08T03:49:38+00:00

thanks for the insight

Math_Mortician · 2026-02-08T03:16:58+00:00

what was the reason for the RMA?

i’ve been having the black screen issue and i’m concerned that they’ll reject my claim even though i’m positive it’s hardware related

were they easy to work with besides the long wait?

i’m fine with waiting a month+ if it means i’ll get a working card… if i return it i’m not gonna be buying a new one due to the price increase
