Rotary fittings are junk... I had some i picked up for a build i was running late on, when the client changed what he wanted after I had the loop 90% done.  So I ended up driving to Microcenter to get some.. I purchased all they had that matched (as much as possible) to the custom machined 90's I have made, and I ended up with like 9 fittings total... Before I even finished the build 3 of the fittings pulled apart while I was still finishing up the system.. (They are only held together by the same O-ring the pivot on.)  All-In-All the system ended up with 4 rotary fittings total, and within a few months they started dripping onto the brand new 1000W PSU, and some other stuff...

-What saved my ass, and my wallet from having to buy the customer a bunch of new parts due to water damage, was me using a custom coolant I make, that Never lets me down, and Looks GREAT under true UV LED lights. (340nm to be exact).. They make anything florescent, white, or UV Reactive, Light UP and Really puts the "Shine" on my systems...
I've ran this same coolant for years in some systems without changing it, so I know its safe.. Depending on how "intense" you make the color, it can stain the clear bent PETG Tubing..  
-Anyways... Here's my recipe.. Use it... Don't Use It... I don't care.. (But i don't want to hear anyone saying "You can't do that", Because I already did!!"
1- Your Favorite Highlighter Color (open it up and get the felt ink tank out. Discard the Tip, and Plastic Body.
2- Fill a Standard Water Bottle 90% up with Distilled H20 and insert the ink tank. Add lid and Shake it like crazy or a few mins.
3- Add that to your new loop. 
4- Add 4-6 ounces of 60% or Stronger isopropyl alcohol.
5-Add all to your loop and Top Off with Distilled..
6- ENJOY YOUR NEW BEAUTIFUL LOOP
 

I just wanted to share my experience incase it could help someone else.
 
I picked up a used 480gb NVME SSD the other day from Ebay for $15.. Found out that It was boot locked using WinMagic SecureDoc.. 
After a bit of digging i found the following works to PSID revert the drive.   You will need  (and to follow) the following:
1) PSID # off the SSD drive
2) USB Thumb Drive
3) Download the Rescue Image Software from https://github.com/Drive-Trust-Alliance/sedutil/wiki/Test-the-Rescue-system
(I found following their instructions on creating the bootable USB was easy)
4)once booted to the usb drive login using the name "ROOT"
5)Use the (no "") "sedutil-cli -–scan" command to find your locked drive
6)Use the "sedutil-cli --query /dev/nvme0" (Dev/????"whatever your drive is) and this will tell you if it's locked.
7)To Unlock (CASE SENSITIVE) "sedutil-cli --yesireallywanttoERASEALLmydatausingthePSID XXXX(PSID GOES HERE)XXXXXXXXXXXXX /dev/nvme0"
8)If it worked: you'll get a message that says "Revert Completed Successfully"
 
I hope this help anyone else who may encounter this problem.

This is an unfortunate he said/she said situation. If they are denying fault you could try to take it up with the shipping company but as was said above, without proof of the box being damaged in shipping or similar evidence they are unlikely to help. I would say your best bet will be to escalate it up the chain at Gigabyte with their customer service department. Explain yourself in a  very calm fashion and explain your position and if you don't get an answer you like continue to ask for someone higher up, eventually you will probably get a solution you want

Well, At this point, they still have the board.... Its my understanding that gigabyte won't ship it back to me broken, unless I want to spend another $30 for return shipping and considering I already paid $30 for shipping it to them for the RMA, just to not have the initial problem fixed, then have them damage something else, isn't really ideal in any way shape or form.  
If it was just some caps that were knocked off, I would've never shipped it to them in the 1st place, and would've just soldered them on myself.  But they weren't off when it left my possession.  
I sent it out, because the board was getting more and more unstable, then finally one day crashed and wouldn't turn back on at all.

I would like to see a Video about GAMES that aren't available to us here in the "Western World".... 
Example: Call Of Duty: Online.. (A FREE 2 PLAY CHINESE ONLY [no english] GAME THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED USING PIA'S HONG KONG VPN)
I know there are more games out there...
 
Or Maybe the video would be showing how using a VPN can also help bypass local content restrictions and FREEING the internet up again!!!

No worries.. EVERYONE knew what you meant anyway.. That's just people busting your chops for using the wrong term, because everyone one here is perfect and their feces doesn't stink... lol

Unfortunately A320 doesn't overclock.
Also, non-X usually means people will overclock, as opposed to X because the X is just pre overclocked but has the same voltage curve.

I know... lol  That's why I'm looking for someone who can help me "decode" the Intel product information to get me the answers i'm looking for.
 
Well, I'm not able to get 1mhz extra out of it.. I was assuming it was locked.  And I guess because the bios can't ID the chip, any "Factory" overclock settings EVGA added to the bios is just disabled.
I wish i could, because Idle voltages are low and stressing it at 2.4ghz on all cores doesn't budge it from around 0.720volts.. So she'd probably be a good overclocker...

2nd Idea for today!!! 
 
I know i'm not the ONLY person that gets confused with all the RGB LED types... Addressable or Programmable? What about the Connectors, Headers, RGB, RGBW, VDG, WTF!?!?!
Each manufacture seems to use their own NON-COMPATIBLE, NON-STANDARD controllers for RGB fans, and LED strips...
What about a DIY--Multi-LED-RGB-Fan controller???  Sounds like a FUN Project?!?!  (I'm already working on one and preliminary testing shows its DEF possible)  USB Controlled MULTI-TYPE RGB/Addressable/Programmable USB Programmable RGB Light show Controller for my Fans, LED Strips, RBG water Fittings (Yes, I saw the vid and had to have them), and ANY THING ELSE RGB i want to add!!!!  
 
-I'm not looking for answer to any ??'s I have posted here... These are Idea's for an episode that I would like to see... I think they'd be FUN to watch...
