AMD is 0/3 in good purchase experiences.

[Jumper118]

It's been a decade since I last bought anything AMD or ATi related. I've been staying away precisely because of the 100% failure rate they and their partners had after I made just two purchases.

 

 

Since it's been 10 years now, I figured I was being unreasonable to still be shutting AMD out, and I thought I'd take my chances again. Well, bad f**** idea.

 

 

Just bought an AMD-based mini-ITX system. The motherboard (MSI FM2-A75IA-E53) is DOA. EVERYTHING I've EVER bought (not just PC hardware either) that has been DOA has been AMD/ ATi or one of their partners.

 

 

Not a single one out of over three dozen Intel or Nvidia related products I've bought have been DOA. How is that possible? Is this just me?

 

 

Now I have to start RMA-ing a damn christmas present the 12th of December and there is no way it will be here in time.

Mistakes happen with any mass produced items, and always will. Also its probably wiser to blame MSI for the board, if anyone as AMD don't exactly get a say in what parts are used.
