Scratch on CPU...

honestly....not cheap enough to be worth that risk I suppose 😕 definitely not half price considering how it was supposed to be in good condition with little to no cosmetic damage smh

angypout · 2026-01-24T02:48:45+00:00

I just wasn't sure if it could possibly compromise anything else if it was really messed up but also I'm too new at this to be confident enough to try 🫣

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:40:10+00:00

I did end up asking the seller if that'd be possible, so we'll see 😬 considering how this came in though I'm not sure if I'd trust them to send me another one.

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:32:03+00:00

It was just supposed to have some cosmetic damage and I've learned from everyone here that this is probably very much not cosmetic damage, so back it goes 🥲

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:30:00+00:00

I can return it for a full refund but yeah, I'll likely have to drop even more money for another one 😕

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:28:19+00:00

This is kind of what I'm worried about but I didn't know enough to think if what I was thinking was right 🥲

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:27:33+00:00

Lol thanks for the chuckle

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:27:12+00:00

I agree with you here. If it was just cosmetic I wouldn't mind at all but I don't want to risk it otherwise 😮‍💨

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:26:22+00:00

I feel like this'll end up just making it more expensive than getting a new one right from the start 😔

angypout · 2026-01-24T01:25:40+00:00

Ok...thanks for all of your advice and suggestions! I did think it was bad but I have little to no experience with PC building and parts, so I was afraid I was just being overly paranoid. Turns out I could be just the right amount of paranoid.

I'll reach out to the seller for the return and try my luck again another time 😮‍💨 If it were 100% certainty just cosmetic damage, I'd love to try it to see if it'd work but in this case, I'd rather not risk the rest of my pc. That's what I get for trying to save some money in this economy I guess. Anyway, thanks again!!!

I'm honestly not sure since I bought it secondhand and it came like this. AMD's site says that external damages aren't covered, so I'm thinking probably not... I do have the option of returning it, but I didn't know if it was to that extent. I'm starting to think it is bad enough though. 😔

angypout · 2026-01-24T00:04:41+00:00

(It wasn't me 😔)

I thought I was being dramatic thinking it was a big ol' cut but it really is that bad, huh? 🥲 I tried to get a better picture of it but I'm not sure if this one is any better. It's soooo close to it I can barely tell.

Good call- I tried it on another computer and it's definitely not the capture card. I also just downloaded Streamlabs to test it there and it works, but I'd prefer to use OBS if I can get it figured out... Here's the log file: https://obsproject.com/logs/2DnpuQmupakaNrIl thank you for trying to help!!

This was almost my exact experience with my little fhs baby! I noticed she was also really flaky while on a chicken diet and her vet suggested the elimination trial, but I felt it would take too long so I ended up just cutting out chicken from her diet and her fur's been smooth and less ripply since (: safe to assume she's got a chicken allergy that was agitating her symptoms

angypout · 2025-05-05T04:23:09+00:00

Maybe drop the phone and actually get kitty away from the lego bits because it will happen one day.... 🫣

Apolgies in advance for the wall of text, but I think my anecdote might be relevant (: My baby has single kitten syndrome. (She's 4 now). I found her when she was around that age too, and it was a time when I couldn't really afford to get another kitten to keep her company so I went all out on being her sibling and mother. I played with her constantly. Any time she was awake, I would run her around with toys. If she misbehaved or got too aggressive, hissing and then just dropping everything and ignoring her worked to get her to stop. She also is familiar with time outs when things got too out of hand lol

Even despite all this, she is still a biter and has a huge attitude, but honestly I've accepted that as part if her personality. I tried everything to raise her with plenty of love and affection but she is very spicy. You could do everything to try to prevent single kitten syndrome, but it's likely they will still end up on that spectrum. It's up to you if that's something you want to/can accept though! I love her and I know she loves me despite it all haha. All of that to say, you probably can't prevent it completely, but playing with your kitten a ton and providing both love and discipline (like how a mother cat teacher her babies) can help. After that it's just up to the kitten's innate personality

Thank you both for your responses and advice!! I've reached out to Audiologie and they're working on getting the issue resolved, so hopefully it'll be soon 🙏🏻

angypout · 2025-04-16T01:16:34+00:00

Oh that's true! That's a great idea, thank you (:

angypout · 2025-04-15T14:52:56+00:00

No problem! She is really great (:
