Open box products are untested be careful
Drove 2 hours back and forth, 4 hours total, to Microcenter. To get a 250 USD 5800x3d Open Box. Looked terrible, scuffed ink or something all over the IHS, but thought hey it must work right? Surely they would test it. Nope, it's a dead CPU. B550 board. Have latest BIOS, tried ram in every slot. Waited forever, tried…

Can't buy 4090 online?
I am trying to get a custom PC built including a 4090, but am I to understand that this cannot be done except in person? Is there any way to accomplish this apart from driving in? It's a bit of a long drive for me and I'd rather not do it just simply to place the order, and then need to do it again a few days later.

Thank you Microcenter
Growing up in an area without Microcenter, I hadn't even imagined that such a cool store could exist. Best Buy was it for me, and even it was 2 hours away. I just wanted to say thank you to Microcenter as a whole, and, particularly, all of the wonderful employees. It might sound cheesy, but the fact that Microcenter exists…

There's no space between the video card and the bottom fans, nor is there a section at the bottom of the case like the…

Do I need a BIOS update?
I recently tried enabling XMP on my motherboard, I hadn't done this yet because I just recently built this one and my last completely bricked so I really valued stability over everything else. When I tried though it immediately didn't boot up so I disabled it and it was back to normal. I might want to try again but before…

13900k mobo and memory bundle, can I return the memory?

Micro Center in Austin, TX?
With the demise of Fry's in Austin, the options for the markets that it and Micro Center serves mean that potential customers need to travel to either Dallas or Houston.
