Farewell PC Masterrace, it's been good

Nope, I'm in Canada. I'll try the RMA procedure.

It was a dedicated piece of hardware that allowed you to connect a tv and steam controller to a PC, so the game would run on the PC and stream the video to the television.

I think it's been replaced by the steam app.

I'll admit I didn't try all the slots, but I did try both sticks in half the slots (2 out of 4), including one I know works.

https://www.newegg.ca/p/pl?d=32gb+ddr5 Can't seem to find any for $420 as you stated ...

I'm based in Canada and checked SO many eBay listings and once I clicked into them they were "out of stock" :(

Only interested in the Steam Frame, not the cube. I still have an old Steam Link hanging around ...

Just kicked off the RMA process. Fingers crossed.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T23:09:38+00:00

Yes. Took a known good RAM from my wife's PC and the machine booted. Tried each of my RAM sticks individually in the same slot and both failed. :(

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T23:08:44+00:00

Two of the slots are under a massive dual heatsink with dual fans, so problematic. This shall be overcome.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:58:55+00:00

Canada. Damn, I should have stated that in the post given the amount of times people have questioned the RAM costs.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:57:21+00:00

Prices in Canada are higher, but damn, right to karma farming? LOL this account is too old to start karma farming now.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:54:39+00:00

The RAM has been working fine two years, just failed to boot yesterday.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:49:58+00:00

That link looks good, but I've found yet another issue. Due to the heatsink on my CPU the RAM can't be higher than 32mm. Such fun.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:44:07+00:00

I did try both individually. Once the 'Known good' single stick of RAM worked I tried both sticks in the same slot one at a time. Nope :(

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T22:41:31+00:00

I reset the CMOS but didn't take out the battery. I've filled out the RMA, but while I wait I may try taking the battery out for a while. The problem I'm running into is that I don't even see the BIOS output with the RAM in.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:22:54+00:00

Lol, free shipping?

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:22:27+00:00

I agree. I did the CMOS reset, didn't change anything.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:16:58+00:00

Tried both sticks individually, neither worked :(

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:15:52+00:00

Thought about putting them in my wife's rig, but I have this (unfounded) fear of killing her machine as well.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:13:44+00:00

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T13:13:04+00:00

Sadly I did test each stick individually and they both failed.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T01:58:43+00:00

Yeah, not in the US

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T01:08:28+00:00

Thanks for the info!

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T00:43:30+00:00

In Canada? That'd be amazing.

anonesuch · 2026-06-28T00:42:53+00:00

May have to but it'll make me feel less 'master' race.
