re: PC Discussion - Gaming, Performance and Enthusiasts

Sorry meant OC, auto correct changed to PC. Driving back home from TX right now and didn't notice. This stretch between Corpus and Houston is dark, lonely and dirty.

So my 4K monitor arrived to that guy shattered, and the shipping company I took it to in town to specifically repackage it, did not repackage it, instead slapped on a tag on the box and just sent it out.

UPS has denied the claim, stating it was not damage in shipping.

Luckily for me I posted the monitor on Reddit so I have picture proof from just 3 days before the ship date with my Username and date next to multiple pictures of the perfect condition monitor.

frick UPS and that local shipping company, but I'll fight till I'm broke even for just $600. frick that I'm getting my money back it was their fault.

And I'm legit sad that an amazing monitor like that went down the tubes from some shitty frickwad employee.

Good price, although you might as well just wait for the HBM2 cards at this point.

I say yes but really would like this card around $350. It is right below a 980Ti and resale for 980Tis used is around $350.

Edt: But it is new arch, so great driver support for the next 1.5yrs.

I would go to the local shipping company for the money first, and then destroy them on Yelp and other review pages when they undoubtedly say no. Then go to UPS and try to get past the customer service grunts to escalate it to a person who can think and make decisions.

I had this problem with FedEx, for a customer who needed to send a computer back to me to replace the motherboard. I gave him instructions on how to properly package the PC (a box in a box--it needs to be tightly packed and padded in smaller box, suspended and completely immobilized by an abundance of packing materials within another larger box). Instead, he had it packaged at a local place in Delaware, who simply put the PC in an undersized cardboard box surrounded by a few packing peanuts. Of course the thing arrived looking like shite. Luckily all that was broken was the case. Stupid bitch at the local place accused me and the customer of being in cahoots to make a false insurance claim, even though all I wanted was the $100-ish to replace the case. FedEx denied the claim initially on the grounds that it was improperly packed (that is the default response, always). The lady from the local shipping company was way too dumb to deal with, so I escalated the shite out of it with FedEx and ended up exchanging e-mails with a manager at FedEx corporate office before the claim was approved.

To this day, it shakes me up to even think about the whole fricking incident. How stupid that lady at the shipping place was, how quickly and unscrupulously FedEx denied the claim, and how much time I spent dealing with it.

Everything but the 2nd 1080 will be in tomorrow so I apologize in advance for all the posting I will do this weekend in here.

Kind of interested to see if the strix 1080 I have will OC better on the strix mobo.

High Bandwidth Memory.

I am kicking myself for not at least dumping my tax refund into AMD at the beginning of 2016.

And so it begins.

It wasn't very expensive so if it craps out after a year nothing much lost and it's a brand I recognize with good reviews after some research. The problems I had with Swiftech turned out to no be uncommon.
