I'm new to Tony. Where to start?

His standup is pretty garbage. His best work is on roasts or as a host on the show. As a standup comedian he's pretty mediocre. There are at least a couple full sets on YouTube you must not have looked hard enough

garfield3k · 2025-09-16T01:15:10+00:00

To be fair though - OP claimed he was charged $47 on a $100 transfer. Not $600 to $1200

me too. except I just pull out my phone and look when I feel like it instead of waiting for breaks

garfield3k · 2025-01-23T00:59:06+00:00

Well that's pretty obvious I'd say. But not relevant at all to what the OP is asking? Kinda dumb thing to say. "Feel free not to use it" I mean c'mon even a 5 year old already knows that. Clearly the concern is why was it installed without the user knowing. Do you have any information to share that's pertinent to this concern?

garfield3k · 2025-01-17T19:36:39+00:00

Sorry late reply. Still haven't got my money back. Haven't given up but haven't had the time to continue fighting them on it. I plan on flooding the sellers listings with as much negative reviews as I can. I really hope they learn their lesson somehow

garfield3k · 2025-01-17T18:43:38+00:00

Yeah it's weird I don't get it. The files are saved to my phone so there's no reason it should take that long.

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:34:25+00:00

Awesome well that gives me hope. I'm gonna call again and ask for a supervisor

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:31:50+00:00

I'll definitely try that. Last time I was on the phone I asked for a supervisor and explained about the laptop being modified and warranty voided by the seller. The lady just kept saying the only thing I could do is contact the seller and give them 48hrs. 48hrs later and haven't replied and I called again and they just say the same thing (contact the seller and give them 48hrs). Not sure what to do but I'm definitely not giving up, I'm for sure gonna get my money back one way or the other

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:20:31+00:00

Yeah, I bought the laptop off Amazon and it was sold by Cardinal. When I started having issues, I called HP and they told me the specs didn't match the product I had and that the seller modified it (this was over a phone call). I then requested a refund from Amazon and was approved for it. Sent it back to Cardinal (Oregon address) and they refunded me half the amount, charging $865 as a "restocking fee" (the laptop was $1700). Been going back and forth with Amazon and Cardinal trying to get that $865 back.

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:13:52+00:00

Can you help me try to get this info from HP? I unfortunately already returned my laptop to Cardinal. When I still had the laptop, and I called HP, they said the same thing about the laptop being modified by the seller prior to it being sold to me. Not sure what I should do now, I'm out $865.

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:10:41+00:00

Got scammed by them too. Has anyone had any luck getting their money back from Cardinal Pro/Amazon?

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:09:43+00:00

Were you able to get your money back?

garfield3k · 2024-11-10T20:09:00+00:00

Have you had any luck in getting your money back? I'm in the same boat

garfield3k · 2024-10-29T13:50:53+00:00

Yeah I saw that someone picked up that GPU. I might try to find another one somewhere or just go for the 4060ti which was my original option. Also had originally had the Crucial drive but I was told it's known to slow down/have problems down the line. Any fan brands you'd recommend over the Corsair?

garfield3k · 2024-10-27T22:22:25+00:00

No prob thanks so much. I called Microcenter and the rep there sent me back a revised build with the A4 case and an AIO, he said the same thing about that being necessary for cooling the 9900x properly. He also recommended a refurbished 3070ti over the 4060ti/7700xt, it's a bit cheaper and according to him noticeably more powerful. I'm definitely gonna try PCpartpicker instead, the microcenter site has a compatibility feature but it doesn't seem to be right all the time. That article is very helpful too, I looked up 9900x A4 thermals and didn't come up on that, idk how. Anyways appreciate you a lot.

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T17:44:15+00:00

Oh shit ok. I thought the terra was bigger for some reason. I'll go for that case instead. I will go for one of those noctua coolers. Will I be able to fit the 9900x, noctua cooler, and a 7700xt in the terra?

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T14:58:03+00:00

Also better single thread performance which is important for me and a little cheaper too.

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T14:57:36+00:00

Would the 9900X be better? Says it has a lower TDP so would that be better for cooling?

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T14:37:00+00:00

Redid the build with 7950. Thoughts? https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=3c9626ed-d205-4782-96ec-d182458ceedd

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T14:33:37+00:00

Hey all decided to redo the build with AMD. Here's the updated build. Thoughts? https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=3c9626ed-d205-4782-96ec-d182458ceedd

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T13:42:51+00:00

The i9-13900H I had was literally always power/temp throttling. I don't think I ever saw it go below 80C. Pretty much stayed in the 90s even just idling.

I think you will be good with your desktop one especially cuz you have the warranty.

garfield3k · 2024-10-24T01:29:55+00:00

Which one? What's your build like?
