fried system !!!!!!!!

[Infam0us]

Wow, such awesome

Thread delivers.

Until recently, 'silicon' reminded me only of fake boobies.
Now it have a whole new meaning.
Reading this thread was an education.

I saw this had popped up again so though I'd read and see Gritts thanking OCUK for the kind out of warranty help they'd offered. Unfortunately I was wrong.

What an unmitigated moron.

This thread is why I buy my components from OcUK - the customer service here is outstanding, I've never experienced better service through any other company.

As an aside, I'm fairly new to building computers and I did not realise that one can just plug the case fans straight to the PSU cables - might have to do that when I get back to my rig this weekend. Also, considering this thread, I have a worrying suspicion that I connected my pump for water-cooling into a CPU_FAN header on my motherboard (which some people on here have said is a bad idea); I probably didn't as my system has been working great, but I need to check that out...

what a tool bag. well done ocuk proved to have outstanding customer service yet again.

 

[Pabl0]

What a nightmare some customers can be! some people aren't right in the head!

 

[GeezerButler]

Often thought about starting up a PC building service, but the likelihood of getting a customer like this has made me give up on the idea

Gritts sounds like the sort of guy who should stick to consoles....

Good job OcUK team \o/

Im a late joiner to this thread can anyone tell me what its about, I read that a wire was plugged incorrectly?

I am just interested really..

 

[RJC]

The Plug was correctly installed, once Ocuk got the system it was a faulty GPU.

 

[teenwolf]

where is the OP ??

 

[vectisitch]

hiding in a cave somewhere i would think

The Plug was correctly installed, once Ocuk got the system it was a faulty GPU.

so is it really a 'fried system' or just a new GPU needed?

 

[MooMoo444]

Wow, I would have thought a faulty GPU would have been the easiest thing to diagnose [and we woulda got there before 3 pages]

 

[QlimaxUK]

Depends how its faulty, if it wasn't in straight then it would fry/short the pcie slot which would need a new board too

 

[Holdon Tight]

Great read, it is all fiction isn't it?

 

[Dervious]

Well, that was "entertaining".

I think there needs to be a new saying.......


"The customer is always right..... unless his name is gritts".

Still reading the thread, but these guys don't know what they're on about.

It's far safer to fit a system that has a pump etc on it to a power supply, otherwise all that load goes through the fan header on the motherboard.

Even some fans come with warnings saying not to plug into fan headers. A wc pump will use far more juice than a fan.

-Still reading.

Looks like you've got mixed ram modules, and one of them isn't fully secured. I don't know about OcUK's build practices, but I highly doubt they'd use mixed ram!

-Still reading..

Gritts unfortunately still believes we are to blame, and even thinks we damaged his case on purpose and not the courier.

God, wish I hadn't opened the thread
