My small update. The Red Devil XT RMA was returned, and everything seems to be working 100%. Only had a minute but re-ran multiple Monster Hunter benchmarks which would consistently crash, 0 failures this time. Played some Last Epoch at max settings for about 10 minutes without issue.

Interestingly it is a new card, but the serial number is the same as the old just with a -1 appended to the end.

That just means, they trash canned the old card. Its so they can keep track of what they are using as replacements so when they go to pay AMD for the chips, they can be refunded for the replacement ones.

I've been eyeing this PC at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DZZJX62Y?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1

The price is pretty decent I feel, and Gamers Nexus did a review on another Thermaltake which got a good review from them. I'm pretty sure this one will be as well. Trying to piece parts together strickly from Amazon and not Newegg is almost impossible anymore. I just don't want to deal with Newegg's return policy.

For what it is worth here is my pieced together system from last month. Came out to $2,667.50, pretty sure I accounted for everything when I tracked the build. There were a few small items like fan extension cables, a GPU stand (b/c I didn't notice the Powercolor came with one but it was too tall anyways).

Have a 3060 ti I am using as a backup now. It kind of whines at times. I guess I am in full use it till it burns up mode. If I got a 5070ti or 9070 I "may" have to change out PSU I'm not sure. It's 750watts but I have different connectors and it's a modular PSU but not really sure what I did with those cables and it rapidly gets into more than I want to mess with. So probably go till it goes no more than go with a pre built which I have not done in multiple decades.

Yeah I did a few quick searches for a similar system. Newegg came up a lot, I used to order odds and ends from them but nowdays I most likely would avoid them especially an entire computer. But I'm not very adventerous when it comes to buying stuff.

I ordered this one, still waiting. Not a big gamer, was $1800 when I ordered. I still have and use my work computer since I work at home. It's not top of the line but neither am I.

Used tag stripper app for amazon and still get a ginourmous link

I may or may not get a new computer with a 9070xt.

From Amazon and shipped to my normal address which is a box at a UPS store. Not part of UPS but when it arrives they take any package and set it aside till I pick it up. The package came UPS and got to the town 15 miles away, same town the UPS store is in. It sat there two days then Amazon started sending me emails "problems with shipping if you want a refund...". It made it from TN to East, TX then afer the Amazon email it went to Florida where it has sat for 2 days. Amazon sends me an email multiple times a day "package is still in shipment, but if you want a refund...". I've never had Amazon send me a notice shit was late. Odd.

I'd get a refund and order something else but it was on sale $200/off which covered taxes. We'll see what kind of shape it is in when it/if it gets here.

This same thing just happened to me with a new case. After doing the cancel thing I ordered the same exact one and it shipped and showed up the next day. I was like Amazon is slipping. This was 2 days ago.

I needed a super long ethernet cable and it had shipping issues so they gave a refund. Ordered another one that showed up like the next day along with the 2nd (first) that they had issues with. Usually it means a warehouse guy or the delivery guy is retarded for some reason.

I’ve had duplicate orders arrive several times. Of course it’s never been anything worthwhile. The most recent one was spices, one was a big container so I wouldn’t have to order again for a while, now I have two big containers of it. I’m good til 2042 I guess.

My neighbor had some weird shipping issues from them with a $5k TV, he ended up receiving two by mistake, sent one back and got refunded the full amount. He called to talk to them about it and they didn’t have record of having two so he ended up getting the TV for free in the end. He said he was explaining what happened and the person on the phone just couldn’t comprehend what was going on.

Amazon is still sending emails multiple times a day it's still in transit. Tracking shows it hasn't moved at all.
