Randy must have also sent a 9100f/1050ti to someone who paid for this system and that guy is PISSED right now. :)
I was thinking about exact same thing :)
Luckily ebays buyer protections are really good
@@flamingscar5263 sometimes to good..
@@kaymigiwa Yeah, if you're enough of a piece of shit thief you can return scam just about everything with eBay's "buyer protection". They will almost never side with their sellers in any dispute.
@@kaymigiwa So good that sellers have no scam protections.
Really nice of you to message the seller back to let him know. I wonder what he'll say! Hopefully it hasn't put him in too much trouble for the work he's doing
I'm thinking the customer support of the seller is so bad that Dawid will end up keeping it lol
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI yeah, that's a good law. It's meant to prevent somebody from sending you something and then demanding that you pay for it. Apparently it used to be a thing where scammers would send something valuable, leave it for a while, and then contact the recipient with a huge bill with the justification that "well you used the item so you have to pay for it". Pretty damn scummy. Having said that it's not usually quite as simple as "yay free stuff". You often have to make a genuine effort to rectify the issue, and return the item if possible. You just can't be forced to pay for it or be held legally liable for the delivery. Obviously this depends hugely on where you live... Some countries probably have no such protection, and others likely have very different rules.
@@veryevilpersonfromillumina5893 here in The Netherlands, if a seller sends you a more valuable product than you had ordered, you are obliged to return it if the seller asks for it. Logically, the seller is responsible for the costs of the return shipment and sending you the correct product.
Only if a company sends you a product without any request from your side, you are allowed to keep it under any circumstance. Would you however decide to return the product anyway, the original sender will still be obliged to pay for costs of the return shipment.
(for those interested, above is based on Dutch law: article 7:7 Burgerlijk Wetboek (civil code of The Netherlands))
@VERY EVIL PERSON FROM ILLUMINATI Might be why, when i ordered 3 cables and got 40 the seller said keep them. And postage.
@@diizzii 🤡
Weird stuff happens. I once ordered a used Amiga 500 system off of EBAY for $500 C.O.D. So the ups driver delivers it at my door and leaves. Never collects the money. It took me 3 days of arguing with the company before they finally looked it up and discovered they made a mistake and it was a C.O.D. shipment. Long story short, they told me that since I was the first one who was honest & reported it, I could just keep it as a reward for my honesty. Still have it.
imagine if Randy said "no refunds"
😂
@enrique amaya does this Jesus have a 3060 Ti?
@enriqueamaya3883
@@vangelis7 probably only gt710
@@GewelReal lmao
I'm confused as to why randy managed to tie the cables down NEXT to the actual cable routing channel that NZXT has built into the case.
bang up job, randy.
well Randy did send him a rtx 3060 not a gtx 1050 so yeah🤣
@@raven4k998 fair
I've bought quite a number of refurbished PCs from eBay/Amazon/Newegg marketplace sellers and in a few instances, a better system arrived than what was in the listing. It was always the same case/chassis, but it might be a generation newer, have a higher-spec CPU, more RAM, and/or an SSD instead of a hard drive. I got in touch with the seller the first time it happened- the system had an i7 for the price of an i3, and twice as much ram as I'd ordered. They told me there was no mistake, they simply send out the same model PC with higher spec components if the one ordered is out of stock.
My coworker isn't a computer guy, but asks basically everyday, "is there a new Dawid video?!" Great stuff for everyone bro!
I wonder if Randy mixed up the Addresses and someone else that ordered a 3060 Ti System got the 1050 Ti system instead? Oops!! LOL!
ohh god big ouch indeed if so...... haha
Thanks for making consistent, very high quality videos Dawid! The quality of your videos for how often you post them is insane!
What an honest and upstanding dude Dawid is!
Its probably pretty easy to be honest when you've got 10 other computers and this is purely for entertainments sake.
There's a test I would love for you to do if possible. My friend recently bought an H5 flow and his glass panel was cracked in half... Tempered glass isn't supposed to crack, it shatters. I've never seen a case do this yet and because of that fact, his refund isn't going very smoothly with Canada Computers because they claim it's impossible.
I bought a cyberpower prebuilt back in 2017 that came with that foam packing stuff. They also had to leave the power connectors unplugged put had a note inside to let the end user know to plug it in before you do anything else
"There's a cpu cooler you wouldn't be embarrassed to whip out at a public shower.
Although it's curved a bit funny"
Goodness sakes that's one of Dawid's best ones yet 😂🤣
@enrique amaya Hail science
Absolutely 😆
Had me feeling Ozzie Man vibes with that one.
Whip it, Whip it good 😊
I'm kinda excited to see Dawid pinning a message here about the update, it's been an hour yet.... hopefully the guy from ebay isn't screwed(first time for me to say).
5:56 You can use Sysprep mode to install all drivers and stuff so that the user can create his own account. If you install windows and press crtl shift f3 in the setup screen this mode will open. The seller forgot to close Sysprep mode by clicking ok in the Sysprep window.
such a humble man for messaging the customer
*Honest*. But I get what you mean, and that was very good of him 👌
@enrique amaya bot
Loved the XTREME CLOSE-UP spamming the Del key to enter BIOS 😂
I died a little bit on the inside when you used a screwdriver on the thumbs screws 🤣
Don't know the situation in Canada, but here in Germany you have to report such mix-ups because there is no legally binding contract for the delivered goods. The seller can, at least in theory, reclaim the goods for up to 10 years.
If an ordinary guy experience this they would never contact back the seller
Karma is real.
@@makuIa Technically yes, it would.
An ordinary guy would realize that someone else paid for this and got the potato PC. If they weren't a self-absorbed asshat they'd understand that's not okay.
There is no reason to. If someone sends you MORE than ordered they can't charge you more and that's on them. Only a FOOL, NOT a "good person", would send back an upgrade! This is NOT just some guy doing this to pay for his mom's cancer meds. This is some kinda company who is making big profit over pricing low end systems and clearly they pay so little attention to what they are doing chances are people get ripped off more than they get upgraded for free!
You do NOT own a sell anything if they fuck up in your favor, you only have to say something if you didn't get at least what you paid for!
@@twiztidsidfreak13 You quite literally know none of that to be true and factual.
Buying a potato and getting a decent rig is a win in my books
a potato saved GladOS.
Never underestimate the processing power of a spud (or a baking soda volcano)
TBF... he has had enough crummy builds that he well overpaid for. It was karma that he found a nice mislabeled box for one that was not a gtx 1030 and a celeron
buying a potato and getting one baked with all the toppings....I fixed it for you
@enrique amaya DO NOT use this platform for religious proselytization!
Next time I WILL report you.
It is absolutely presumptuous and infuriating to assume you know anything about my religious point of view. If you enter that discusssion with bias towards one particular man-made god, I do not have the time of day for you. It's way more complicated that you could possibly imagine, (and Jesus has nothing to do with it).
@@PeBoVision Alright now just spam this message 10 billion times like the other guy and you'll defeat him !
anyway I'd rather have someone spam religion crap than links to cc stealing sites
When linode dropkicks tour screen at the beginning of a Dwaid video, yk it gonna be a banger
I remember when I bought a copy of Heroes of Might and Magic 2 for $10 on sale and the lady at the store accidentally put a copy of the newly released Heroes of Might and Magic 3 disc in the case instead! This was totally one of the best things that could have happened to a nerdy 13 year-old in 1999!
Crazy, one automatically assumes you were sent a crummier pc. Surprised it was the opposite! Will be interesting to see if the seller responds and what he actually says! Way to be honest n upstanding Dawid!!!!
The anemic psu in every prebuild makes my skin crawl. Yes the hack job assembly and mismatch components are annoying but even once all of that is sorted, whould you by a hyper car and put a 9v battery in it and hope it is enough power to support crucial components?
I would think a 11400 would be a fine pairing with a 3060 Ti.
Yes, something weird is going on. An 11400 will noot bottleneck a RTX3060ti.
@@Frydo If you looked at the readouts the cpu was at no more than 50% when running most of those games.
@@sauce777 Thats core dependent. I have a 7950x. Almost never see more then 25-30% usage, even thought my 4090 is at 100%.
Other videoen i have seen of the 11400/3060ti combo shows GPU utilization @100%
"Hey man, so the computer you sent wasn't what was on the listing"
"Sorry man, no refunds"
"Wh- Are you sure? I mean, if you don't wa-"
*"I said no refunds"*
"... Okee"
Imagine the person who bought this pc from him getting yours 😂
golden sample fr
Any updates on Randy over a year later? Did you get any response from them?
Dawid im wondering you buy a lot of pc what do you do with them all .. do you resell them >? or do u just have a big storage of computers lol... either way great video.
I don't peel my side cases or screens as the day after I do they end up getting scratched by the ghost that lives in my house.
So they remain on until. A they get gross. B They naturally fall off. C when I no longer have to do anything with it.
Frosted case side actually looks nicer with the amount of RGB I have case wise it's the one your cat picked in another video. :)
here back in 2018 or 19 i ordered a laptop off fleabay, it was a refurbished, very low spec, paid like 200 or 250 for it, and when i received it, i was absolutely blown away by what i had received, it was a brand new dell g7 15. i went to message seller about it, and the seller was no longer on flebay. so i received a 1500 laptop for 200 or 250. ohh and yes it had a full dell warranty as-well.
I bought a old broken NES off of eBay for parts or to replair(I've got 4 NESs). A SNES showed up. I contacted the seller and he said that was supposed to go to a different buyer and he messed up. I sent the SNES back. The seller refunded me my money and still sent me the NES for returning the SNES.
So it looks like the seller left the System in Audit Mode, where you can mess around with things in Windows without setting up an account, useful for making sure drivers and such are on a PC you plan to sell as a one-off. (If there were more you might as well make an image). Hit OK on the little popup (leave the options unchanged) and it should restart the system and go back to the initial setup. Audit mode also tends to get upset about waking back up from sleep/hibernation, hence the message about the disabled account.
Surprised the CPU heatsink had thermal contact; looked more than just a little tweaked. Also cringed a bit when the board flexed back into shape removing the first pillow. Oh well, bonus components that work are nothing to complain about - esp. since there's no comment here so I guess it's not worth their time (?)
we demand more prebuilt videos
"If you look at the... oopsie." Dawid, the whole PC is an oopsie.
I believe the technical term for when that sort of thing happens is 'serendipitous larceny'.
A PC for that Price, oh wi wish i coult have so much Luck. MY old DELL PC is comming to the end of his Lifetime. And Thank you for the Video and Minectraft Server.
"System disabled" message is major red flag. Randy is a delivery guy and stole that PC, then copied wrong specs from the net. Oops!
Nah. Just accidentally left it in OOBE mode
I sort of had this happen with my pots and pans on ebay.
Over the course of 3 months, I bought 1 400 dollar pan (MSRP) and 2 200 dollar pans (MSRP). Because I got the wrong 200 dollar pan, repeatedly, he ended up giving me a refund...for the 400 dollar pan that I bought months ago. So for the price of 1 damaged pan, I have 3 pans. And after all of that labor, I don't think he actually managed to fix his issue with packaging up the wrong pans.
that minecraft server is crazy, love that
Can you do a video about how to clean and prevent dust in these high air flow cases that don’t have filter but have a mesh front?
Are those decently large frametime spikes on BF V normal? Never played it before but just looked pretty odd.
My grandmother ordered a PS4 for one of the kids for Christmas one year, got a box with 3 of them. Unfortunately she sent the 2 extra back, I wanted one too :(
Hey that system was first assembled on my birthday thats pretty cool
I assume NZXT got a great deal on those old Deepcool tower coolers that were much cheaper than using NZXT's own tower coolers.
How are your ambient temperatures always so low? I mean, it's (still?) Canada. But indoors?
I find it a little amusing that you compare the 1050 to the 3060, as that's exactly what my PC upgrade last summer was. 1050ti to a 3060ti. Though obviously the rest of the system was upgraded, too so it was more than just a GPU upgrade lol. But I did play through Cyberpunk 2077 the whole way on that 1050ti. I'm usually cool with FPS as low as 30-40 so long as it's stable, but even that game and setup pushed me to my limits of tolerance haha. I'm looking forward to replaying it (soon?) on the 3060ti, but I've got a backlog of other unplayed games to play before then. RDR2, Days Gone, God of War, Death Stranding, and currently playing Hogwarts Legacy.
Reminds me of my first proper gaming pc back in 2014, was supposed to be an fm2 system with a gtx 960, 1tb hdd, 8gb ram, i looked inside seeing double the memory and a gtx 1060 which when pascal was brand new made me all skippy considering i also got a 20% discount on the whole system! and of course..e-waste peripherals that weren't half bad! £450 well spent! coming from a sempron 2800+ FX5200, e7400 + gt210 system, it was a mahoosive upgrade!
Dawid please please please do a tour of LINODE'S server farm/HQ
You know that 99.5% of people wouldn't never have never mentioned back to the builder for having received something way better that what was expected ? Your an honest dude rare thing nowadays !
okay but too be fair, this guy can afford pretty much any PC he wants, it's not like he NEEDS a 3060 when he can afford to buy 5 4090s and write it off as a business expense
"len - "x" say it with me "len - x" lol never heard Linux said linex before
maybe randy was feeling generous and threw it in as a late Christmas present lmao
I bought a Phanteks P300A from Newegg and they sent me a Phanteks Evolv X.
After I emailed them the purchase was removed from my order history and they never emailed me back.
7:50 ...its 16 degrees in the room. It also midnight Dawid!! Get yourself some rest
Wow that is a very large mixup lol, kind of strange
Imagine the person who got the wrong PC not even noticing and still able to 'pwn' 'noobs' 'like a boss' in The Sims 4.
Dawid, you are so funny! 8:40 "Cyberpunk is cooking with gas!" Ahahahahaha! 🔥⚗ Great analogy.
9:53 Did you only get 6 fps for 1% low on GTA V or was it a typo during edit?
Try making a pc with parts from every major retailer and second hand service ❤
Dawid Does Tech Stuff my number one source of tech knowledge, and innuendo. 👍
No refunds!
When he said "Hopefully Randy didn't screw us," all I thought of was that South Park episode where Randy is trying to solve the self-immolation crisis. "We Love you Randy!"
I actually have an NZXT H5 Flow case on my pc I love the case so much room
I literally bought an NZXT refurbished PC off eBay like a month ago and had some serious problems too. Thankfully I managed to get a full refund.
hi David
can you please make a video featuring a build with RTX 2060 ? I got one in my Pc but I hardly see any good reviews about it. I would really appreciate it.
Maybe the dent in the back of the case was from when it fell off the back of the truck👀
i got a gaming pc off ebay a week ago that had an i7 12700f, rtx 3060,24gb ram ,256gb nvme, 1tb ssd , 1tb hhd , for $460 Sometimes you just get a good deal
That battlefield experience was quite stuttery tho
Hi Dawid, would it be possible for you to check out the MSI Trident series? The very sleek and mini desktop CPU.
I've had a 3060ti for about a year now, and I can't get it to ever be fully utilized. Like some games run only around 60fps, and I know the card can do better, but I can't get it to utilize more of it.
Do you need help?
The GTA V minimum frames showed 6 on 1% lows switching with 2400mhz . 3200mhz had like 65. Typo?? That’s a real return on investment there!
I have a 3080 and the i5 11400, lots of bottelneck
Randy...you had one job. 🤣
oh poor Randy
What I think could have happened is that they ordered 2 PCs with the same cabinet, one with your specifications and the other with the 3060 TI and they sent you the one you didn't order by mistake.
You're not legally liable anyway, although it's nice of you to send Randy a message in case he wants the computer back.
Linode is the only sponsor i dont skip, lol
Any Update??
It's been a while I know, but any updated info on Randy?
Somewhere there is a very unhappy customer of Randy's wondering why their "3060 ti" is performing so poorly.
Can you please share randys link so we can check out what else he might possibly be seling....
I thought exactly that.
Randy can accidentally send me a system with a 3060ti any time 😇 no complaints here
I honestly would be ecstatic if I got a system like this instead of a 1050ti related build. Normally a 1050ti costs 199 cad here, and that type of last gen i5 would cost 190 as well. But instead, the 3060ti costs like 650 or so, and that i5 is a bit more at 220, so you’d get a really good deal if you paid only 700 for the listed 1050ti build.
Which I would’ve said nothing, cuz they legally can’t take that build away from me. So I’d get a really amazing build for far less. And if I replace that motherboard with a cheap LGA1700 (not those crap B boards, cuz I want all 16 PCIE lanes for that 3060ti) along with either a 12600k, or 13600k, I’d be doing good. Maybe even a 13400 if I wanna go cheaper, cuz that is supposed to be like an i5-12600k, but 50 less.
After that, I’d be set for using that system as a mid-range 1080p60 TH-cam recording rig, and I could use that extra motherboard and 11th gen i5 for a friends PC, or one for my father. Maybe he’d just be fine with the extra processing power, but a 1660ti for him would be good if he ever wanted to game again.
I feel like this show should be called Dawid hates tech stuff
well I hope that minecraft server isn't completely dead or anything. But yeah, I am shocked that Randy is not out of business yet
man, I sure wish I was "scammed" like that out of an ordered prebuilt
I only got lucky years ago when buying about 150 euros monitor but I got about over 300 euros worth of monitor instead. Even it wasn't much and meant to be secondary but as the other that I bought was pretty bad. The IPS monitor that I got became a main monitor.
Also all are 60hz monitors as I do not really care high framerate and mostly just waiting OLED monitors getting smaller and not costing on that point 1500 or more. As stupid widescreen options already are on decent price but widescreens sucks.
You really want to use a game to test the PC test space engineer with mods
maybe Randy is simply an NZXT employee that's slinging some of the pre-builds in the warehouse on the side.. lol
I wonder who ordered this system and got the lower spec system you ordered.
Not a Linode - a Linoooooooodeee! Its a kinda proper brand name already
I gave the same system to my daughter i5 11400f with 3060ti,4x8gb 3200 and I have an i7 11700kf 6700XT, 4x8gb 3600mhz.
