Amazon still has holiday returns items purchased between October 11 and December 25, 2022 can be returned until January 31, 2023.
Yea that was a big bonus for me. I bought a phone late October and I'm starting to have problems with it and was able to return it and get a refund.
His filming to release schedule is quite long sometimes it's very possible that this was done 3-6 months ago.
Yeah I just watched it to the end, he filmed this in November haha.

Us: "Wow I really love Greg's videos. They're entertaining and informative!"
Greg: "I MUST APOLOGIZE FOR MY HAIR ONCE A MONTH!"
Man I love these, as soon as one pops up in my subscription feed it's an immediate watch. Keep up the good work Greg!
I hope to one day have the money, space and energy to set up a similar thing in Sweden so I can help people the same way.
Much appreciated! And that would be cool!
Me 2 from uk England nice Gregg
facts
totally agree, i love these videos, been following greg since his science studio days :D greetings from Denmark
@@GregSalazar you need a fawhawk Greg...
Judging by the manufacture date, it was manufactured 2021/Week 38, that would be a launch 12900k
Buying used parts and getting scammed
@@christophervanzetta from the circumstances explained in the video, the viewer and friend bought the parts from Amazon to build two systems with the same specs. And Greg's theory about someone returning a defective CPU to Amazon and warehouse staff resealing and selling it again, unfortunately for the viewer, is pretty common place.
Thank you so much for taking the time to fix my pc it meant a lot to me and its nice having the pc back and still running great to this day
I have been binge watching these with my broken pc
Started popping into my feed after a whole year of trying to fix a magically dead in the water 2070 super. Too bad they are of no help.
Love these videos! I have my own rig and I keep it nice and clean, and I always have been able to troubleshoot any issues that arise thanks to this series. Keep it up Greg!
Right on!
13:44 Greg, you saved me. I figure out why my damn 6700xt was stuttering in games and had was running half the wattage that it should be, causing my games to stutter constantly. Got a quality power supply where I can connect 2 separate power supply cables to the graphics card and it fixed it
Like the end of video ramble as well as the hair frustration and chopping your fingers off in the rear fan. Highly entertaining and informative.
Thanks for watching it all, Julian!
Always use two separate cables for PCIe, especially with multi rail PSUs, obviously, but also in general to reduce load on a single cable.
Fixed a friend’s PC recently and it wouldn’t post with the NVME drives installed. Turns out, I had to update the BIOS on the MSI Z390 motherboard, paired with an i5 9600K. Worked fine after that.
Strange that you had to update the bios with a 9600k… those 2 should natively support each other
Awesome video as always.
Very surprising that the CPU died an Intel 12th gen 😯
SPOILER ALERT!
@@jaycarrUK pro tip: don't read the comments section before you watch the video
He raised voltage to high trying to OC and POP!!
great job Greg, always love watching these videos.
I love these as I get to learn so much more about PC diagnosis. I think it also highlights the risks involved in building your own PC. Love the content Greg & the hair 😁.
This is a interesting series I have been following it for quite some time, thank you for these videos you're my biggest inspiration to work on computers.
I love this series a lot, it's very enjoyable seeing you figure out these systems kinda like how someone would solve a puzzle. It would be awesome to get follow ups going over what could've caused any dead components to be dead as that would be really informative :D Keep up the great work!
Hey Greg, your videos have helped me built and troubleshoot my pc. I really appreciate you passing on your knowledge to us! :)
Love these and also all your other ones you do. I work from home and for lunch I try to eat at our dinning table and not just sitting in my computer chair. I can see the computer from there and first thing I do is see if you have something new. They are done well, easy to follow and just the right amount of time. Keep up the good work and here's to 2023 and all it will bring.
Greg I have been watching your channel for years and I admire your honesty, transparency and Wide breath of electronic knowledge thank you so much for doing this. Entertaining and informative.
i love these vidoes and look forward to watching them as soon as they pop up in my feed. I have learnt so much from them and when my daughters PC was playing up I was able diagnose the problem with er Ryzen 5 5600 as having a bad memory controller. Thanks Greg and please keep these coming. Love from the UK.
Still absolutely loving this series Greg! Great work! Keep ‘em coming!
I would have bet good money that the issue was a bad mother board. Good work as usual Greg.
Great Series! Always on the lookout for new Fix or flop episodes.
Forever thankful for these FoF episodes, thanks Greg. 👍
I have to say, I love this series! It's so educational and entertaining to watch. I think that this format of video is a brilliant idea as it helps people learn about building computers through problem solving which not only helps promote the hobby, but make the process more fun and less frustrating.
Hey Greg I love your videos and they have helped me so much with the issues I've had with my pc in the past. Keep it up!
Greg, These are the best videos out on YT that help troubleshoot PC problems. I genuinely feel like if anything happens to my PC or my kids PC's that I will be able to fix them myself. AND, if not, I'm only in Jacksonville so I would Def make the drive to come see you if I couldn't figure it out on my own and I were lucky enough the get picked for the playlist. (Hopefully I will never need to) :)
Love this content Greg, watching from the UK and learning new stuff from you every time, you are the master!😄
Man, these FoF videos are really helpful. I started to build my own pc during the peak of pandemic and eventually my friends also asked me to build pc for them and I learned to troubleshoot thanks to these videos. Keep 'em coming, Greg!
i really love this series single handily you have thought me how to trouble shoot pcs with this series. iv gooten so good with it at this point from these videos i can figure out whats wrong with the pc a littler over half of the time when u explain what the broken pc is doing at the beginning of ur videos lol very thankful for sure
thanks Greg. these are fun. good luck on more.!~
Wow another one learning till the end of life from your videos keep up the work bro.
I love this series! Your systematic process to diagnose the problem actually helped me last week when I installed a new gpu in my system. I went from panic to “Greg mode” lol.
greg I think ur a hero, wish i had known abt this series a couple years back when i had to diagnose a dead zen 2 chip over the course of a week
Super duper series and I want it never ends!!!
I also hope one day you bring videos about dead, bricked, nuked hardware with their diagnostics and deep dive investigations.
Keep up the good work Greg!
Much much appreciated 😘👍
Love this series. The fact that you have the resources and platform to to this for free is one of the coolest things on youtube. Keep it up
Love these videos..great way to start the weekend...
Volume warning was appreciated... not in sound,. but the hair :)
Love the videos Greg! Keep it up! You inspire me to be a better TH-camr!
After watching every single episode the axiom "it's never the CPU until it is" has been exposed more than a time or two surprisingly. Another great video and I know I am not the only one that eagerly waits for the new episode. Thanks again Greg!
This series is always entertaining and informative, regardless of what the issue is. Keep up the good work!
I'm going to attempt to fix a PC with the same problem this Saturday so this video is great to brush up on the troubleshooting procedures.
I really enjoy the Fix or Flop series thank you Greg
Woke up to this. Man im a sucker for pc troubleshooting
These videos are really nice and great work, it would be cool for you to do a video on a successful follow up on one of the dead CPU's you've encountered if either AMD or Intel got back to you on them. Some kind of deep dive on the problem with the specific CPU would be so sick.
Happy ThanksGiving to you Greg of the past!
Great video! Looking forward to more.
Awesome! I remember that CPU return periods on Amazon were one week, if they changed though, that's amazing
The best youtube series ever! Thx Greg
yooooo I miss this series nice video Greg!
These are by far the most enjoyable videos on this channel (and possibly all tech channels I subscribe to). Keep them coming!
I agree! Greg is definitely thinking outside of the box when it comes to his videos. You know it's a fantastic channel/video when you can't wait to see the next one.
Had something similar happen to me on a 2 week old ryzen 7600x, would work but shut down without warning, and it'd post and enter bios but it immediately shut down as soon as bios was loaded. Had to go directly to AMD for a replacement due to lack of supply.
I'm having the exact same issue right now only the fans on the CPU don't spin no post no heat to the CPU. This really helped me a lot, ordered a new CPU. Thanks Greg.
The best content you do. I love these video so much.
Wow Greg! what a great video! In my life, the cpu is always the last thing that would cause a PC not to work..... jeez!
I only just noticed your framed Sempiternal record on the wall 🤟🤟
Happy thanksgiving and World Cup Greg 😅😅
One of the best series on YT for sure
clean socket with alchol will remove paste if there were some in socket . I use electronic cleaner gets socket clean and boots right up.
It is so wholesome to see you do relatable things like accidentally sticking your finger in a case fan. I am not by ANY means insulting you as I have done that on accident more times than I care to admit xD
Much love Greg! Watching this series... really really makes me want to do what you do. I love building/troubleshooting PCs and if I could do this for a living I would. Can't wait for the next video!
Its cool you mentioned the world cup lol I am from Argentina so I can say I am pretty happy right now lol
Btw love these videos, I cant get enough of it, as an IT Manager, and many years in the field, I love how thorough your are with your troubleshooting steps, keep it up!
This is why I sub to you. Awesome content.
yah i agree, i don't daisy chain my 3080 either, it's running 3 seperate PCI-E cables back to my modular PSU
Great work. Had to troubleshoot a Ryzen R7 5700G System last week and it was a terrible experience. No post. But the BIOS should support it. Swapped a GPU and CPU from my personal PC into it, tried it unsuccessfully wiith several displays. No post. Frustration. We gave up for the day. And then it dawned on me. Even after watching the whole "Fix or Flop"--Playist... have we tried resetting CMOS? Wie did not. And it worked. Posted like a champ. Why did I not try that first?!! AAAAAARgh!
nice work Greg
You are the man Greg.
Your channel inspired me to build a new pc since my first pc I built for music in 2003
I have to admit I didn't see that coming! Thought for sure it was going to be the motherboard after you hooked up the CPU fan header.
Yeah, Greg, I love how real you are, right down to sticking your fingers into spinning fans and such and aren't afraid to leave it in the video. That makes it real, relatable and entertaining. Great job!
I thought the same thing as him, too, that the rear fan wasn't spinning lol.
I love how you use the K.I.S.S. principles in diagnosing issues.
keep the fix or flop going . like these from Uk
2:23 I experienced that pain many times
wow that was insane
i never expected that
I work in electronics repair, and we get a ton of gaming PCs in from our business customers. Most of the PCs are Skytech PCs, and are either on AM4, or 10th/11th gen. Before working at the place I'm at now, I've never actually seen a CPU die, or worked on a system where the CPU was actually dead. I've salvaged PCs from burned homes/apartments, picked the up from dumpsters, and have had several PCs that were very aged (Pentium 2/3, 1st gen Athlons), but never have I seen so many cpus dead. Not a single one of these systems had dead CPUs, but somehow regular PC users are just killing CPUs by using them. Almost every dead Intel PC that we get is a dead CPU (10th and 11th gen i5), and almost every AMD system that we get has a dead motherboard (aside from the 5600X/5600G systems which also seem to have a really high failure rate of CPUs).
very odd times we're in.
As old as this case is... It's just fantastic...
first thing i do is press like, then watch , love your work and dedication, take care.
Salutations too you. Amazing what your are doing here
Great vid Greg I"m betting on the Board but The CPU is a suprise wow Keep coming Men very impormative
Great job.
Greg! You need to update that subscriber count! 857,000!!!! Way to go. 😀
nice work 👍
Great video. It's crazy - it turned out to be a dead cpu - but that can happen with electronics and computers
Are we ever going to see another PCDC? Love seeing older rigs getting restored and maybe a new cooler or power supply added.
I was browsing PSU testers the other day and saw some affordable one's around $20 and possibly a better unit from Thermaltake for $45. But I was like, where's the one Greg uses and had to hunt. I was shocked to see it retails for $590 from the manufacturer PassMark, my mind is blown. It comes with a software suite that can monitor via USB to a laptop so this is shop level tech from a bit of an inconspicuous device! I'm really impressed!
Hi Greg, i have watched almost all the fix or flop video’s. I tried to fix my own pc yesterday, and my CPU was stuck on the cooler. You haven’t mentioned it before, but it is wise to switch the computer on for a few minutes and then remove the cpu 😅. Lucky enough my 5600x is still working
Nice watch Greg!
Loved the intro and the comment on hairstyle :)
Thanks so much for watching!
3:20 when i got my asus board i learned this the hard way and went all night trying to fix my computer
Love these videos - as always the quality of content is awesome. Shame on the flop on the hairdo 😂
I'd like a follow up regarding said chip, always interesting stuff!
This is why I love the Debug LED on Asus boards. The Z690-E should give you a post error code of 'F.F.' if the BIOS is not initializing.
Think sending it back to the manufacturer is better than sending it to Amazon in this case. Never know what they might do if it doesn't get sent back to whomever shipped it out in the first place. Could end up back in the market as an open box or put into those return piles that get auctioned off and you wouldn't exactly want that to happen knowing the product is dead.
Though in my case I'd probably include a note or something with the return both outside the package and inside, just in case, that the product was DOA and doesn't work just to prevent a resell of it.
00 is such a weird Q Code... I had that on my x570 Dark Hero with my 5900X and buddy of mine had the exact same issue of 00. Chip wasn't dead in either case and in my specifically I kept getting a BSOD in regards to memory regardless of which Ram kit I used with the DOCP or manual OC to the specs of the ram.
Ended up switching to a ASRock X570 Taichi RE and both kits worked just fine. Haven't had a single issue.
Well done. They should stand behind the chip
Let’s goooo the Goated series is back again
🥳🎉Happy New Year to you & your family Greg,
So is the next Episode of FoF the one where you tried to fix your hair leading to your haircut?😂
P.s Yeah ended up being Happy New Year instead of Happy Thanksgiving 😁
I'll never forget the video where you showed the copper slug intel coolers were better . I still use that info when building lol
I used to work in the assessment and intake of broken computers at a repair shop. We didn't do too much with the computers other than verify details like data status or physical damage, but I 100% thought the same fan model that hit your hand was not spinning multiple times, so don't feel too embarrassed!
I really love the fault finding you do in these videos. Are you any closer to returning the AM4 CPUs to AMD for full diagnostics?
I've learned so much watching your videos. I swapped my son's computer into a new case and it wasn't booting. I started taking things out and it ended up being a bad USB 2 header.
