You shouldn't give him a refund because hes an idiot. Just be like I'm sorry you broke your computer but it was working 100% when i gave it to you as far as your concerned he broke it so his problem not yours.

I would have asked for more money for the trouble of coming to his house and troubleshooting the OBVIOUS mess :P

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Because obviously they have a fast pc, so through osmosis he absorbed the knowledge that machine had to offer. He just screwed it up here, and there, and there, and a little over there.

I'm in 11th grade and I'm known as the "tech-guy", people come to me when they have problems be it a phone or a computer. This lad came to me wanting to build a custom pc. Ok, I picked out his parts, ordered them and built it. Everything was working 100%, I ran all the benchmarks. 

Prime 95 Furmark, fire strike, memtest etc. I give him the system and he was thinking ohhh I have a custom built PC so now I know everything. He went to best-buy, bought thermal compound and put it on the cpu. The next day he came to school telling me he had problems. I told him I would look things over and if need be RMA something. It was working before he put the thermal compound on so I started with the CPU. What I found was a mess. The socket was covered in it. He even put it on the pads of the i3 thinking the thermal compound on both sides would give him double the performance. RMA option is now gone.. Maybe I could clean it up some but ohh wait, he bend almost every pin on the mobo.. I tell him he needs a new mobo, maybe cpu and he tells me he wants a FULL refund as it's my fault and I broke it. 

 

 Last time I talked to him. 

 

Custom builds are sold as-is, almost universally.

The projects never end in my line of work.

*Tries to fit GPU in a PCIe x1 slot*

*Doesn't fit*

*Cuts conector to PCIe x1*

  

Linus has actually cut the pcie slot on an old motherboard to fit a longer card and surprisingly it actually works. So the card was partially connected or something and it ran at a lower speed but it still worked.

I have seen/heard this before, both actually.

Cutting the slot isn't really a big deal, all you are doing is is turning it into open ended pcie slot.

Cutting down a card on the other hand that's a big deal. I haven't seen this done in a while, but likely it works the same now as it did before. All you are doing is removing data connections, the card should default down to whatever it is cut down to, that and you are destroying a perfectly good card. The only time I had seen this done was with a mid tier card where cutting the slot wasn't an option due to board components being in the way. This method I find is stupid versus getting another motherboard or using a riser.

Any idea why they even chose to add thermal paste... At all? It was all assembled in working order so... Wha?

yeah, usually they only come with the original per-part warranty (which is arguably better)

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨
