Shorting out the mobo.

Anything bad with socket CPU.

Anything with Video Card.S

 

Stuff like that.

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

When you put the CPU in the socket then press down on the mechanism, I'm always scared that the CPU pins will get destroyed or something.

 

I know it's meant to work like that and I've never had any issues, but you have to press so hard! The 24 pin connector is scary too because you feel like you're going to bend and snap your motherboard in half.

Hehe.

You know what I mean.

I don't sweat a ton when building PCs.

The room always seems warmer however.

 

I think I might have to add RMAing stuff to the list.

I hate when I get half way through a difficult build and realize there is more than one part D.O.A. Rare, but it's happened to me before!

 

Also, when water cooling... Leaks! Shorts! Cries! Retries!

When you a part is defective.

So then you have to return it through warranty for a replacement.

No they will accept if it is within warranty.

It's called an RMA because RMA is an acronym for.

Return Mail Authorization? I think.
