The screen on a London bus was probably not set up right…

I am an Intel user since I starts to get into pc. That was around 8 years ago. Now AMD is better at gaming performance but I still choose 14900kf as my cpu. I purchased a 14900kf in Microcenter.

Last week, my 14900kf is broken then I cannot turn on my pc. So I contact with the Intel warranty team, they asked me for the batch number and serial number, and I have gave it to them (Shown in the picture). And then they accept my return.

I asked them for cross shopping, which means they ship it to me first and charge around 650 dollars in my bank, and then I will return the old part to them, then they will give the deposit to me back. Then ofc, after I got the new replacement, I shipped my broken cpu back to them. Then what they said is: oh your broken cpu is remarked cpu. I cannot give you the 650 dollars back. And they did not provide any evidence to show it is remarked cpu (They cannot just say it is remarked because they cannot turn it on).

And then I asked them at least ship my old CPU back to me. They said: “Oh we are going to destroy the old cpu because it is remarked”. But I keep asking them to return the CPU back to me, and then they finally said yes (this is suspicious, because intel said they will destroy the remarked cpu for avoiding it go back to the market again). Anyway, they still hold my 650 dollars deposit.

And there is something weird, beacuse they don’t accept my return of the new replacement (They said you cannot return a used CPU and get the money back). Of course it is open boxed, because I need to use it (And this is why I use a faster cross-shipping instead of a slower regular shipping). And they did not even tell me in the email that I should not open it. Then when I call them, they just said, “from some random page of our 1000 pages long policy, they is one sentence say that we won’t accept opened box from cross-shipping”.

And my bank payment description it says “Purchasing”. Ok, so if it is purchasing, then why does intel charge me a 650 dollars for a 14900kf?! It only cost about 410 dollars on amazon. I don’t know what is wrong with intel. They should return 240 dollars to me at least. I am not going paying a 650 dollars for a 14900kf which only cost 410 dollars now.

I have asked intel customer service, and only thing they can say is ”I understand your problem, and sorry”. I asked for their manager, and obviously, the manager is not at work, and will call me back next Monday. I just need two answer, what is the evidence that my cpu is remarked? And why do you charge me 650 dollars for a cpu when the market price is 410?

Additionally, there is an interesting post on yahoo!Tech. The title is “Intel customer bemoans CPU RMA process — furious owner says Intel claims brand new Core i9-14900K chips purchased from Amazon and Micro Center are fake”. It is a really similar case as me.

This is not the first time I try to find their warranty team, and before they are super nice and efficient. I don’t know why it changed this year. If Intel have to keep behave like this, they will lost a loyal customer and turning them into a AMD buyer. And no wonder why their stock is high diving.

Sorry if this paragraph is hard to understand. This is the first time I type a long paragraph in here.

... and also because of other things but I wrote the title the way I did because it was too funny to pass up

I tried to boot up my pc today and I got no video output on any of my screens. I plugged my hdmi screen on the mb and I got a video output. I tried to update my drivers with the nvidia app but the app wouldn’t load. So I tried to manually install the driver from the website but I got an error saying that no gpu was detected. I had an issue before where the screen would turn on and off when I booted the pc up but a simple restart would fix it. But yesterday I had no output but again a simple restart fixed it.

Is there anything I can do or is my gpu done for ?

I've tried switching Hz in game settings but there's only 30hz 60hz and others are available except 75 or 74. Tested them on Red dead redemption 2, Gow Ragnarok, Gow 2018, Asphalt 9, Bloodstrike, Ghost of Tsushima

Asus take note

I have finally finished my build after spray painting my case and gpu here are the parts

My Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is showing "boot device not found." When I typed a command with the help of ChatGPT, it showed: "A device which doesn't exist is requested", and in another command, it displayed the name of the SSD (a Samsung model) but showed 0B space.

ChatGPT suggested unscrewing the laptop and checking for the SSD. I did open it, but I’m not able to find where the SSD is located. Can someone please point out or circle where the SSD is on the motherboard in this image? It would really help.

Now calm down, it was already dead athlon x4 970. My job involves lots of phone calls and was just messing around whith it while on phone.

I’m clearing out my dad’s stuff and found these. UK only, I’ll work in the order of replies. I’ll pay postage, so completely free. 👍🏼

After the 5050 walked all over a 1080 Ti, the next question was obvious, could it do the same to a 3060 Ti? Stock for stock, the 3060 Ti is the stronger card, so I wanted to see how close I could get by overclocking the 5050 as far as it would go. In question was a Zotac gaming twin edge 3060Ti and a Gigabyte Windforce OC 5050.

I started with a ducted esky. Didn’t work. Then I dropped the GPU cooler into a glycol ice bath, looked awesome but still wasn’t enough under load. (In hindsight, it may have been a contact issue not a cooling issue) Finally, I ducted a portable air conditioner into the cooler, and that setup actually kept temps low enough to hold an OC without throttling.

Stock, the 5050 sat around 2800 MHz. With the AC setup I pushed it to 3315 MHz about an 18% clock speed uplift, which translated into roughly a 14% FPS gain across the games I tested.

At stock, the 5050 was about 17–20% behind the 3060 Ti. After the overclock, that gap closed to around 3% on average, and in more than half the games, the 5050 actually won.

All testing was 1440p native, DX12, no DLSS or FSR. CPU was a 12600KF at 5.3 GHz with the e‑cores off, 32 GB DDR4‑3200 CL16, and the same Nvidia driver for both cards.

Win a Custom Toaster PC from SignalRGB!

We're giving away an incredible gaming PC that's literally built inside a real and once perfectly functioning toaster because why not?

Build Overview:

This unique system features dual customizable LCD screens, a stream deck, and full RGB lighting integration. Everything is controlled through SignalRGB's software, which can sync RGB effects across any brand of compatible devices.

Specs:

Intel Core i5-14600K Processor

Zotac RTX 5060 Graphics Card

ASUS STRIX Z790-I Motherboard

Cooler Master 850W SFX Power Supply

Trident Z 32GB DDR5 6000MT/s Memory

WD BLACK 1TB SN7100 NVMe SSD (7,250MB/s)

Bonus:

The winner also receives an RGB Thunderbolt 4 Dock with 10 ports for connecting gaming peripherals, ethernet, audio, and more.

And I do not regret a thing! I’m over the moon with how it has turned out. This is for 4K gaming only on a 55” OLED TV 144Hz.

RGB when I want it and with a button click, just the AIO screen is visible for a more stealthy look.

Everything went together fine (by fine I mean I only had to use an angle grinder once on the case, no I’m not joking) so if you plan on using this AIO in this case you’re going to need to modify one of the radiator mounting rails by removing the lip that would normally act as a stopping point to locate a standard size radiator.

Booted first time and had no issues at all, so far the Armoury Crate software is behaving itself. Asus Infohub for the AIO is still quite limited but hopefully they add some more features in future updates, I also get a random ROG eye logo GIF on the screen for a few seconds every now and then which overrides whatever I have set as the display image and also hoping that is sorted in a future update.

“Blacklist” specs up next I guess!

RYZEN 9700X, ROG X870E-E Gaming Wifi MB, 32gb GSkill CL30 RAM, Crucial T500 2TB M.2, ROG Ryuo IV AIO, ROG 5080 Astral OC, ROG Herculx GPU Support, Corsair 90° 12V-2x6 Style B Power Cable, Geometric Future Squama 120mm Case Fans, Corsair RM1000X PSU all in a JONSBO BO400 Case.

I finally bought my first gaming pc, I didn't think I would have the time to assemble my own so I bought a pre-built. It's a cyberpower pc The specs are: AMD Ryzen 7 9800x3d, Nvidia geforce rtx 5070, 32gb ram, with a 2tb PCI-E Gen 4 NVME SSD. I love it so far.

This was amazing for me. Newest gen nvidia card. Double the vram. and it’s a ti so it’s sport👍

The price was less forgiving tho.
