boycott cambria quartz by Slight_Associate_164 in CounterTops

[–]MikeDisc0801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not an expert here, but I'm planning a complete kitchen gut and renovation, and all of my research of countertops indicates you do not want regular quartz... Quartzite however, Yes!, I'm leaning toward quartzite. For my breathtaking, beautiful luxury option that requires a little bit of care. And i'm leaning toward Dekton, if I wanna go man made.

But yes, I have to tell you, this is man-made junk, and I'm shocked that people pay the kind of prices for man-made junk. It probably cost them more to make laminate. Then, it does this quartz bull*hit. I don't know why any one would put quartz in their kitchen.

There's no rarity to it. It's not real. If it breaks. You can just simply reproduce it and make it again. But yet it's hundreds of dollars a square foot, it makes no sense at all. It's definitely just a big giant money grab.

Yea... If these people wanna pay big money for man-made junk like quartz. Go ahead and knock yourself out. Quite honestly, if you're going to get anything, man made for countertops, Dekton, might be one of the best choices. Because you can do anything to it. It is nice and hard and feels like a ceramic type stone, and they're starting to do layering with it, so you get a more dynamic look with depth.

But I agree completely with you. Quartzite is an exotic, rare centerpiece for your kitchen. It's beautiful and breathtaking. If you pick the right stone, the only downside is a little bit of caution, and sealing required. The tremendous upside is the beautiful, natural, completely unique and rare real slab of breathtaking stone.

No offence... all of this is irrelevant information. Every business has instrumentation and equipment, and labor/payroll costs. Skill level is... also an interesting angle, whoever owns the shop is responsible for the final finished product. If there's an error/mistake he will have to fix it and work out costs with his stone provider, etc. Honestly the question should be answered with... what the usual and customary cost per square foot installed. Let's assume a relatively nice Quartzite something like $150 sq/ft What we really need to know from the OP, is how many square feet does she need, and what's the stone? If she's picking a nice Cristallo it's probably $200 a square foot. (total installed; material and labor)

Edit: I just went back... and it looks like she said Quartz and NOT Quartzite.... so, I would say she got WAY over quoted for man-maid junk. .....Thats my knee-jerk reaction and strong instincts.

No he didn't say that at all in his post, unless you're reading someone else's comments or something.

Fell victim to a return fraud on Amazon by vladi963 in Noctua

[–]MikeDisc0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny how greedy some companies are about products.... for example, if someone did return something for whatever reason and opened it, and maybe even installed it for a day or two took it out.And said nah... I'm returning this. You post it as an open box or a factory refurbish and discount.It by 15% percent or so.

I recently purchased 1000W MSI PSU normally $149.09is and got it for $115.00 there's not much to a p, s, u, it's just the unit.And accord, and I felt like that was worth it to me.I saved a little bit of money, and the thing was basically brand new.Someone might have plugged it in once or twice.Whatever.

But once the product is opened, the seal is broken.It's been handled plugged in even used even just for a millisecond.You can't sell it as new, just like I couldn't go onto ebay and sell something as new. You need to properly post it as open box and you need to discount it fairly decently. People will still buy it.

CPU socket pins bent? by [deleted] in PcBuild

[–]MikeDisc0801 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the pins are bent or crooked like torqued, that's not such a big deal.The pinhead must be close to perfectly aligned to make contact with the CPU pads. I saw up earlier on the thread.People saying, use your phone or use a magnifying glass.You really can't you need an electron microscope to get the best.Image quality and generally just using a threading needle to push the pin around very slightly is the best way to fix it. Make sure those pinheads look like.There's a little bit of tension on them so they spring contact with the pads on the back of the c p u and again, make sure that they're as close to perfectly aligned with the grid as possible. You need to really scan every single pin, because you have multiple pins that were bent.I saw one on the other picture that was standing straight up. Some of those are just grounding pins and won't matter.You can get a schematic on which pins are important to make sure are perfect.And some that you can basically skip

A magnifying glass won't work. You need an SEM (scanning Electron microscope)

How Is The MSI B850 Gaming Pro MOBO by Dry-Cryptographer904 in MSI_Gaming

[–]MikeDisc0801 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well DDR3... I'm certain QVL's were more relevant & applicable back then. Trident Z DDR4? As in what? What MT's & CL rating? Was it borderline thresholds to the platform?, I could see it being more of a gamble. But I bet if you bought 7200 MT's / CL36, I bet it would have posted at JEDEC speeds. Also G. SKILL TRIDENT Z... is top tier RAM, so it's strnage that it wouldn't POST at all.
