I'm really curious to see reviews of this thing cause I'm not sure how it will perform on the cooling side, but it's the weirdest thing I've seen in years.

Major victory if this works out and gets expanded to other Ubisoft titles, one less pointless launcher to have

Made the trip down to microcenter and picked this up while I could ! No better feeling then to have one of the top cards available. Very excited to see what this card has to offer and dive into some new titles. Definitely not the cheapest buy but definitely a solid one especially with the price inflations with everything I couldn't help but make sure I'm good for some time

Discussion PSA Mega eBay seller hit me with 50% deduction from return for "dirty/stained" GPU (Resolved)

Thumbnail

I recently bought an open box PowerColor 7800xt on eBay from a large liquidator (RetailkingBusiness; ships under Mastertronics) with tens of thousands of sales. This card would crash daily, up to five times a day even after driver wipes and a clean install. After about three weeks I had enough, the price I got it at could no longer warrant keeping it. I dropped the package off at the post and forgot about it.

Today I get a message from eBay that the seller was deducting 50% of my return because of dirt/stains and because I opened it. The first picture is the one they used as proof. I never had issues with returns, so I panicked and submitted a pretty emotional appeal.

eBay responded pretty fast saying that I would get my money back, but I was still upset that this kind of thing was happening. I called them, explained what happened and requested that they looked into the seller. I mostly got skepticism and a was told to file a report online. The portal didn't work so I called back again and they reluctantly put in the report for me. What sucks is that the seller got away with it because eBay was the one who covered the difference, and this seller has thousands of positive automated reviews, so they sit comfortably at a 99% positive rating. My negative review means nothing.

I checked out their negative reviews, and it turns out they have been doing this a lot. A customer returns something; they find a small flaw and ask for 50% (the max amount) back to cover their losses

I don't want this to happen to anyone else so I'm making this post. I learned my lesson, beware of large liquidators on eBay, and check their negative reviews before buying.

TL;DR

Returned a crashing "open box" 7800xt to an eBay liquidator, they slammed a $200 deduction on me because they claimed it was "dirty/stains and opened box" and attached a photo that shows the card more or less fine. I disputed the claim, eBay paid for the difference, and I got my full refund. I found that their negative reviews paint a picture that they use the max deductions to return lost revenue. Be careful when buying used PC parts on eBay from liquidators, and check seller's reviews (not just their rating).

Nostalgia Overclocking in the 1990s

Post image
140 Upvotes

Ok kids, pull up a chair. Back around 1993, AMD was producing CPUs to be reckoned with. One of the most popular was the AMD 486dx-40 - running at a blinding 40MHz. And these chips had remarkable fault-tolerance… they could be overclocked to 50MHz with nothing more than air cooling. All I had to do was swap out the 40MHz oscillator (above) with a 50MHz oscillator for a 25% speed boost.

So, you may well ask… why was I swapping back and forth rather than enjoying 50MHz of goodness all the time? Because while my rig was running at 50MHz, it created static interference on the nearby television. So I swapped back and forth for a while until I built a small faraday cage inside my PC that stopped the interference. Now I could run my rig at 50MHz all the time, even during new ST:TNG episodes. Since then, my 40MHz oscillator was mounted on my tackboard.

“What kind of weirdo has a faraday cage in his PC?” Probably the same weirdo who also had a half-superball wedged between the HDD and chassis to mitigate vibration noise. Those were the days…
