So I’m going to be going to the Chicago location in a couple of months and hopefully get my first pc built by you guys. Only thing is I’ve only ever had consoles and know nothing about pc’s. Now I know how I want it to look, like type of case and all that but will the staff be able to walk me through everything and help me…

we send 2 time email and make 4 time call, but no one answer or reply email. why?

the "AMD Ryzen 7 9850X3D, ASUS B850E TUF Gaming WiFi AM5, Corsair Vengeance RGB 32GB DDR5-6000 Kit, Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD, Computer Build Bundle" has an SSD and ram I it. Would I be allowed to either replace the SSD for another 32gb of the same ram or replace both the SSD and ram for a 64gb ram kit that's cheaper…

How is it that Microcenter doesn't have a store in Rocket City? There are enough scientists, engineers, professionals and enthusiasts to make a Huntsville, Alabama store a major success. Quit making us drive to Atlanta!

Hello PowerSpec / Micro Center Support, I have a PowerSpec / MicroElectronics G468. I am trying to confirm the correct BIOS/firmware recovery path because the system developed several issues after a sudden power outage. System information: System Manufacturer: MicroElectronics System Model: G468 System SKU: 290627…

Is there legit any way I can get spare cables? Or do I just have to get a new PSU altogether? Sorry if I sound stupid.

I have a PowerSpec G474 with an Intel 14900KF CPU. It's been pretty unstable since I purchased it. Frequent crashes, screen goes black, and nothing of use in the Event Viewer that I can see, just that the previous shutdown was "unexpected." I understand that this has been a problematic CPU and the issues with it are…

Just a moment... Read the full story here

Hello! As someone who lives in Lakeland, Florida, I feel that we are rather disadvantaged when it comes to access to a Microcenter. The closest locations are either in Miami or Central/North Georgia, and getting to those locations is no easy task. Furthermore, there is a sizable population of makers, engineers, etc who…

Hi! I just purchased my A1 Bambu Printer and decided that the extended warranty isn't worth it for me, I just bought around Sunday so it's well within the 30 day return window. Just wondering what link I need to go to or form I need to fill to start the process.

I’d love to see a Micro Center open in central Arkansas. There aren’t many places in the state where people can buy PC parts and electronics in person, so many customers have to order online or travel out of state. Central Arkansas would be a great location because it’s a good middle ground between the Marietta and Dallas…

Hi there. I just purchased the G731. It came with a Mystic Light Lite that controls the RGB lights. I was hoping to be able to monitor the core temps with Mystic Light (regular version), so I installed MSI Center, but before I can use the Mystic Light via MSI Center, it's taking me to the update section to update the…

hi, I'm looking to see if i can edit my review, its for the following product https://www.microcenter.com/product/698654/ROG_Strix_XG32UCDS_315%22_4K_UHD_(3840_x_2160)_165Hz_Gaming_QD-OLED_Monitor;AMD_FreeSync_Premium_Pro-_NVIDIA_G-Sync_Compatible;_HDR;DisplayPort_HDMI

Are you guys by any chance planning on building a store in NH? Nashua, NH is right on the border with Mass and gets insane amount of traffic both from NH, Vermont, and Mass shoppers who come to take advantage of no sales tax - you could make some serious bank. Lots, lots of stores here, but need yours to make it perfect.…

I'm looking at either a G913, G758 or G457. Since I read so many people having problem with the AIO Cooler Master on their PowerSpec, my question is: do all PowerSpecs still come with this cooler? Thanks!

Oklahoma City is prime for a location! All we have here is Best Buy and small mom and pop shops.

I live in Tulsa and our local options for pc parts are TERRIBLE. We're pretty much limited to Best Buy and this local place called Wholesale Computer Supply. Pricing locally is not great at all, but not so terrible that it's really worth making the 3.5-4 hour drive to Overland Park to buy parts. I think if you guys built a…

I would like to see a option at the front door to grab an identifier that hey if I need help I will ask. I understand the staff is under pressure from the management for customer engagement and contact matrix. The customer group that might not be good with that much contact would feel more comfortable shopping in store. I…

I think that temp is too high and wondering whether the water cooler is working properly. I am running the novabench performance test and not the stress test. It does cool down pretty fast after the test ends. I thought good water cooling should only have the ryzen 7 9800x3d only go up as high as 70-80c with that test. I…

Hello, I realize that I am a little late to the Windows game on this, but how do i install Windows 10 Pro from a cd that came with my PowerSpec pc B336 that has Windows 7 Pro preinstalled on it? There are no directions for installing Windows 10 Pro in the "Quickstart and Recovery Guide" that came with the B336 and there is…

We definitely need one here this would crish the game and as tech channel I'd be first there and on launch day

Hello, I purchased the G757 back in December 2025. Recently, it has started crashing after 1-2 hours of gaming. No warnings, turns off completely. In order to turn it back on, I have to flip the switch where the power cord plugs in. I originally had it plugged into a surge protector and moved it directly to an outlet. I…

Hi, I know you guys had a FL store opened recently in Miami. Problem is, I live very far from this store! It's a 4-hour drive to Miami and it's awfully inconvenient for us here in Central FL. I was hoping there would be a second store in Orlando so we can have better access to options. 

I'm ready to purchase a new PC. I've added it to my cart, but it only allows payment in store whe picking up the purchase. Is there a way to prepay online, then pick the item up the next day? I don't allow purchases above $1000 on my debit card without prior notification to my bank due to fraud possibilities. And, the…

There isn’t any location near where I live so I’d be interested in seeing a location at Waldorf, Md. there is a big property across from our Best Buy that’d make a perfect micro center. The only remotely computer related store we have is Best Buy and they barely carry pc parts anymore. 3000 Festival Way Waldorf, MD is in…

I belong to a group of tech guys who are looking for a meeting room that could host Arduino and Raspberry Pie projects about once a week for a few hours. I heard Microcenter is coming to town and will be very welcome to the tech people of Austin since Frys has left. Can Microcenter help us in that regard.

How are other prebuild brands like Alienware, Dell, HP etc… guaranteed? Does Microcenter service those in store or do they need to be shipped back to the manufacturer for warranty service? Thanks!

I have the G443 and I am playing Forza Horizon 6 and I get an error message to update my bios. But you use a custom bios, my last update was 2/1/20223. is there a new updated Bios for the G443. Please help. :)

I just bought a new PowerSpec G443 Gaming PC. While my friend was helping me add a couple of hard drives, he also tried to be smart and update all the drivers, etc - including unfortunately the BIOS for the MSI Pro Z690-A WiFi motherboard, not realizing the PowerSpec was using a custom bios. While everything seems to work…

I was in your Fairfax store today for what I assumed would be my… IDK… 87th? issue-free trip to MC. I had a motherboard combo pickup waiting for me and the clerk gave me the hard sell on protection plans. CPU and motherboard… no thank you. Highly recommend it, no, thank you. Okay, how about just the motherboard? no.. It's…
