I'm still waiting for my RAM issue to be fixed :(. The sticks arrived on Monday and still nothing being sent back yet unfortunately.

how?

I was going to buy the 10K one but it's not really good value at $49.99 including the 15% discount. Hoping to get it for around $25-35…

Depends what you are doing but if your games are more GPU intensive go with 5080, otherwise if it’s more CPU intensive (simulation games…

How bad is that and how much will it affect performance vs something like the RAM from this deal…

Did you say you were considering or did you sign up with new provider then put in notice?

> The regular $85/mo for 250/25 they've given me twice now. What do you say to them to get this. Last time I tried they wouldn’t budge…

Lol what they were fairly responsive to me so I have to give them credit for that. Shipping label within a few hours of reporting for…

Yeah I suspect it’s a bad batch as I’m not the only one. RAM doesn’t usually fail which is strange.

Yeah I think it was enabled as it was showing 6000. I didn’t touch the BIOS settings because I didn’t want to actually break the RAM or…

Yeah I put in my email it could be a problem with the batch. I asked if they could do a memtest before new sticks are sent. They have…

I would think so too. I'm not the only person apparently.

I'm offering to send the RAM back rather than the whole PC. Reduces damage risk and I don't want to risk waiting months again. (Also, not…

Yeah, they advised me to run tests and I just sent them the results. Hopefully they reply soon and this is sorted.

Just an update on my build (if anyone is still interested or following). I received it on Tuesday and ran some tests remotely after my…

Wow, the 5090 price jump is crazy! Anyone who got a 5090 build earlier is very lucky, hope y'all are enjoying it.

I ran a memtest and it showed as a FAIL result. I've asked them if I can just send the RAM back instead of the whole PC. I'm lucky my…

Looks like I might be having a RAM issue as well. BSOD crashes with attempted_write_to_readonly_memory error and Memory Diagnostic is stuck…

If you can upgrade to FTTP, chose that over Starlink. Politics and Elon aside, FTTP will be way more stable (especially during extreme…

I suspect it will come back but potentially higher price than before. If not it’ll be a few months before prices calm down.

Just wondering what the clearance under the GPU was so I could order my support as well :).

Sorry, but the videos you linked just talk about the ACCC report. The report did not mention that there was price gouging and showed more…

I think it’s likely a Mobo or RAM issue :( Might have to wait for TechFast to resolve it. Hopefully there’s a solution that doesn’t…

Do you have evidence of the price gouging? If so please let us know, I'm open to hearing it. The ACCC relies on evidence and statistics not…

Does the "lender" offer deposits? If so they must have an ADI and therefore you can file a complaint and if you are not happy, go to AFCA.…

Ask TechFast. They said that all cases should come with one so maybe it got lost?

The wait was long for us (thanks NBN for the one year delay) but it was SO worth upgrading to FTTP in the end. I jumped on it as soon as…

I think they're worried that high uploads on residential plans will cannibalise business sales. I do agree though, I would take 1000/400…

This might not be it but have you tried updating or re-installing Windows? You mentioned it was working fine with Linux so maybe something…

I will have Windows self-installed so we'll see. I think most others installed Windows themselves too.
