    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    FINALLY after nearly 3 months got my refund posted today because PAYPAL ruled in my favor. B&H dragged their feet some more and tried some bullshit saying they never received the RMA mobo and I had to produce the shipping receipt from Mail Man Joeys and the tracking info showing B&H did in fact...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    I posted picture of seemingly damaged MOBO AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM THEM....and THEY NEVER POSTED A PICTURE OF DAMAGED MOBO WHEN THEY DENIED MY CLAIM. Hey if you love your B&H by all means don't let me dissuade you from buying from them. I use to think they were great until this Asus level...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    No shit sherlock...so the question is....who bent the pins? I cannot say 100% I did just as B&H cannot say they 100% did not. The only way I can think i bent them is if the plastic protective cover bent them while packing mobo back up to ship.....but there is about a million ways I can think of...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    UPDATE: I had RMA'd the mobo directly to MSI and they sent me back a nice repaired mobo. B&H agreed to a refund via paypal for the RMA'd motherboard so I shipped it on June 4th and tracking shows they received it on June 8th. Of course B&H now dragging things out saying they never received...

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    I'm like 80-100fps on the 57 and about where your at 160fps on the AW32 Ahh 38.2 hours with GOT and actually made it 10 hours with DD2 haha

    Would you ever go back to LCD after experiencing OLED?

    I uninstalled DD2 after 6 hours. Ripped off. GOT on other hand I'm kissing 40 hours which is a lot for me.

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Perhaps...I immediately RMAd it to msi free of charge with shipping also covered...then I will return it once again to b&h. They should have been able to do that directly without me involved on a new item.

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    So I'm on the phone with MSI to RMA it and they required the serial number off the mobo. I opened up the packaging and the CPU plastic protector was flapping in the wind because B&H service tech did not latch it back down....Real Quality Service there B&H. I took some photos of the "bent pin"...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Lets be clear: The problems of the 14900k with voltage, thermals, etc, etc have NOTHING to do with B&H's bullshit bent pin accusation. I returned the 14900k because it sucks ass compared to my second rig which has a 7950x3d. The 14900k platform is a finicky bitch that you constantly have to...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Uhh no...all instability issues I had are because the 14900k is a huge gapin POS of a chip. The problems with the 14900k are well documented all over the internet at this point. After two weeks with it I was tired of having to dick dance bios settings with ecores, hyperthreading, volting...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    I've never had a problem with them ever...they have been one of my favorite retailers. I've spoken with MSI and they said b&h could have returned defective item to them for replacement and no reason to force me into rma of brand new mobo of which I would then have to resell since it would be...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    I did use the socket lid and if the pins were damaged by me it would be due to the socket lid as it's a common issue for the lids to bend pins if not 100% in place when closing catch. I cannot say 100% this did not happen because anything is possible....same as it's 100% possible b&h is full of...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Yea but this was not an rma. I'm already qued in to document for RMAs. This situation was me buying a brand new14900k cpu, mobo and ram and trying it out for two weeks....I didn't like the cpu so sent it all back for refund.

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    Its a bullshit thing, petty and annoying....especially after having such a terrible time with that 14900k, man what a pos that CPU platform is in comparison to my 7950x3d rig. Its possible some pins bent when I closed the protective plastic cover, but its also possible it got damaged during...

    B & H Refusing refund because "Bent Pins"

    I bought a 14900k, MSI mobo and Ram from B&H three weeks ago....and it sat unused for a week until my Hyte Thicc 60 cooler came. Could not get the system stable no matter what I tried...always something, nothing but headaches....gave me flash backs to 2007 overheating intel builds. I've been...

    13900K - Out of Video Memory or BSOD during shader compilation in two UE5 games

    Look, return or sell that intel stuff and get yourself a 7800x3d setup. Its a no brainer, practically bullet proof and runs every game with zero drama. I have a 7950x3d rig and tried the 14900k in my backup rig and it was nothing but problems compared to the AMD rig. Intel really dropped the...

    Samsung Odyssey Neo G9 57" 7680x2160 super ultrawide (mini-LED)

    I dont get the option for HDR @ 422 or 444....but I have the 7900xtx in my Windows 10 8700k rig now. When I had 7900xtx in my 7950x3d win11 rig I could only get HDR with 240hz 8bit set....or 120hz 10bit

    I have a 7900xtx Nitro in my 8700k work productivity rig...I haven't tried 422 or 420. I primarily use the display for work productivity at native res 10bit or SDR gaming older titles like Halo MCC. My other rig with 4090 gives a better gaming experience despite 120hz limitations and HDR looks...

    Yea windows desktop is trash in HDR with the 57. Also, AMD GPU dont let you do HDR @ native 240hz if you have 10 bit enabled....you gotta step it down to 8 bit and even then it doesnt look good. HDR at native 120hz looks pretty great on Nvidia 4000 gpus though!

    Yep, so far so good...perhaps I got super lucky. I like it so much I brought my old 8700k rig out of retirement and stuck a 7900xtx in it for work productivity and classic gaming @ 240hz native.

    I bought a 14900k, messed with it for two weeks and returned. Random crashing, Dll errors, thermals, stability issues in some games but not in others and having to modify settings based on games....I was getting PTSD flashbacks to 2007 cpu issues and crysis lol. Meanwhile my other rig with...
