MAG B660M MORTAR WIFI DDR4 RAM compatibility
I have a bit of a pickle here. I upgraded my RAM to G.Skill RipJaw V F4-3600C18D-64GVK. At first, it was running great, but a few weeks ago it dropped to 1866Mhz from 3200. I went to BIOS, and enabled XMP, first to 3200 - it was fine for a couple of days, then it fell again to 1866. I went back to BIOS, and did 3200 - it…

10% off with Micro Center Insider Card not applied to total purchase with CPU/MB/RAM bundle
A relative had a request to replace a computer that recently stopped working and narrowed it down to the MB or CPU being the issue, since it was a Intel 9th gen, it was not worth looking for individual parts for a pre-built system to get it working. So we decided to purchase mostly all new components with MC current…

Computer technician job requirements
I was looking to apply to a microcenter store as a computer technician. I was looking at the position requirements and saw that Apple ACMT and ACiT are highly desired but from what I can find, these certifications are no longer offered by Apple. So, what other Apple certifications does Microcenter highly desire?

I moved away from my nearest MicroCenter location, but I am still getting coupons
I used to live near the Denver Tech Center store. I now live in Stansbury Park, UT (about 500 miles away). However, I am still getting coupons (curiously, sent to my new address 🤔 ). The latest coupon I got is for a free 128 GB flash drive, and a free 32 GB flash drive for a friend. I would love to get in on that deal! Can…

PowerSpec G476 (5 mo. old) Crashing at Random
I am apparently having a similar problem to the one posted by Kap0604 last September: Was there a resolution to this issue? There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when this happens; the display goes black and the computer freezes, and my only option seems to be to shut it down and restart. When it happens, the fans in the…

It would be great if there was a Microcenter somewhere in the western NY area.
I wish Buffalo had more tech stores. Around here it is hard to go to a store to buy good PC parts. I know me and Sara aren't the only people who want a Microcenter in the Buffalo area. I am trying to build a new PC and there is kinda no store in Buffalo that carries the high-end graphics cards brand new. You would have to…

Open box policy question

Charlotte NC
Good Evening All, I hope this message finds you well. I want to address the elephant in the room here. I have always admired MicroCenter as a company and their desire to maintain an outlet for tech enthusiasts. However this nonsense with the Charlotte store has to stop. The radio silence, lack of information and quite…

Are clearance/open-box items not returnable?
I tried calling my local Microcenter but no one's answering the phone. I bought a GPU that was on clearance/open-box a week and half ago. I'm contemplating returning it to upgrade to a higher model GPU. I noticed on the receipt that it has a "Outside Return Window" on it for this clearance/open-box GPU. Are…

Hard drives not replaced.
I want to advise the customers of "The Best Computer Store in Houston" that are far from the best. I paid MC to migrate data from my old desktop to a new laptop purchased this month.

Need feedback on my first build.

Intel or AMD? I would argue AMD right now.
If anyone is looking at a new PC, I would strongly encourage you get an AM5 AMD system. Intel is changing sockets for the next gen desktop CPUs which means you will not be able to upgrade to new gens with a current gen motherboard. AM4 lasted 6 years ish, AM5 will give you plent of cheap upgrade options going forward, plus…
