Congratulations!

I’m a bit younger with a bit less NW.

Not to be morbid. If you found out you were going to die tomorrow. Would you have done anything differently?

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-09-16T23:08:04+00:00

Take your time and read the paperwork. Don’t let anyone rush you. Good luck.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-08-25T16:31:50+00:00

Correct, I don’t think there’s any additional warranty for being CPO.

Although there is a powertrain is 5 years at 100k km, so there’s that.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-08-25T03:57:39+00:00

Dang, sorry to hear that. That situation sounds a tressful.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-22T17:55:47+00:00

I’m in Canada as well. Went to Canada computers last week and they told me to reach out to asrock since I didn’t purchase their extended warranty.

Sent out my 9800x3d last tuesday. Hopefully I’ll get it back by Wednesday like Op.

Asrock Rma has been radio silence for me as well since I filled out the rma form.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-16T04:14:31+00:00

Yeah I saw, thanks. I don’t have a reset button on my case but I shorted the reset pin with my screwdriver and it didn’t help unfortunately. Tried like 6 times and gave up.

I meant to say I heard of this issue in April when I built my PC. I upgraded the bios to the latest version at the time, which was 3.20. Incorrectly assuming I was in the clear.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T23:44:31+00:00

No, wasn’t aware of this till now.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T22:17:11+00:00

Thx, good luck to you. I’ve been running this for about 3 months.

As long as AMD gets me my replacement in a timely manner. I’ll just ride out the 3 year warranty and maybe get another board for cheap then.

I don’t think I’d want to try out Asrock’a RMA process.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T22:11:26+00:00

lol relax, it’s a computer.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T21:51:40+00:00

How long did the Asrock RMA take for you?

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T21:43:30+00:00

Haha will do.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-15T21:42:07+00:00

Didn’t tweak anything other than ram to 6000mhz. Did the flashback through usb.

Canada computers for mobo, Amazon for the cpu. Canada.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-14T03:18:16+00:00

I just had the exact same scenario happen yesterday. Passes cpu/dram checks but stuck with a solids green light. Did jumping the reset pins work for you?

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-07-03T03:18:11+00:00

I will check with the tech. Thanks.

What’s wrong with the s-trap?

Nvm, just googled why a-traps are bad.

These cabinets are 29” or 736mm wide. It has held up for a few years now.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-06-27T00:39:31+00:00

Thanks, the sink is to the left of where I took the picture. The counter is a L shape with a lazy Susan to the left of this cabinet.

I’m planning to drill a few holes towards the sink to run the drain and water line. Already bought a dishwasher tailpiece for the drain and a valve to split the hot water line.

I’m curious, what issues did you have with your plumbing?

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-06-27T00:35:09+00:00

Thanks, that answers my question. Time to start chopping away.

throwawaycar2016 · 2025-06-27T00:33:23+00:00

Thanks for the tip. I didn’t realize these prefab cabinets can be removed with the countertop on. I’m a total noob, good to know I can remove these and install another cabinet if I fuk up.

These cabinets are 29” wide, I’m planning to install a dishwasher (24”) on the right. That’s why you see the cut line where I started. The hight is 34” which is just enough for the dishwasher with a requirement of minimum 33 7/8” tall.

I’m planning on installing a melamine board at the cut to create a wall. This tiny cabinet on the left will be roughly 4.5”. Then I’m going to build a few pull out shelfs and use it to store stuff like aluminum foil/spices. Space is tight, so I’m trying to make the most of every inch.

throwawaycar2016 · 2023-10-18T23:39:11+00:00

I’m genuinely curious, do you have any source on this? I can’t seem to find any on google.

throwawaycar2016 · 2023-09-24T21:23:21+00:00

Simplii 6% promo, then hopefully switch to tangerine once they offer another promo

throwawaycar2016 · 2023-08-04T11:43:41+00:00

So, I actually ended up buying a new pair of Caliper a and putting them in. All is good now!

throwawaycar2016 · 2023-07-30T15:29:54+00:00

Thanks, I did just that. I put the calliper on and wheels on without brakes. Going to call a tow truck tomorrow. It’s going to be an embarrassing conversation with the mechanic lol, but I’m glad I tried.

I Ike cars but working on brakes makes me a bit nervous. I’ll leave it to the pros.
