    A couple of mics for podcasting

    Its been a while since I've bought something. But I purchased a couple of Samson Q2U microphones for podcasting. I bought one of these earlier, reviewed it. They were more convenient- except the stand. So I bought a couple of Ammoon desk stands from Ali express.

    Graphics Cards related queries here.

    It still depends through which AIB you're buying it from. The store owner keeps it for accounting purposes. Distributors have a record of all the serial numbers. However irrespective of the brand, in an unlikely situation where they can't find the serial number, they will need to see the...

    Best Motherboard brands

    Honestly, I would never recommend buying any component based on brand name alone. All brands have the ability to make good SKUs, but somethings they manage to screw it up. Once upon a time, most of the mid t high-end motherboard designs feel as if nobody bothered to put inside the case and see...

    Scary and unsettling experience with Gigabyte motherboard

    A friend bought an Intel NUC from a store who is also a seller at Flipkart. From the outside, it looked all fine but the specs were wrong, incompatible driver. Turns out the motherboard for that particular NUC was not the same. The NUC didn't have a seal at the time of purchase. After bringing...

    Psu damaged 3rd time!

    Wow from an S12II to a VS is a serious downgrade. Did you try getting the plug checked? Change the power surge? Try another socket? Check if the grounding is all good? If the bill is a printout and you still have the product, you could show and they can search by using the barcode. I...

    Warranty policy of gigabyte

    That's a 2013 quote. Gigabyte said a lot of things but the reality is everybody needs an invoice to see the validity. First, they check with the serial number which cannot show the time of sale. It could also mean that if it crosses three years from the date of manufacturing but within three...

    Warranty policy of gigabyte

    It is always from the date of invoice- not from the date of manufacturing. When I say invoice, I mean the invoice the dealer gives you as a buyer and not the invoice or challan distributors give to dealers for reselling. There's no harm in doing some legwork and finding a store that sells this...

    Why there is no Graphic Card board manufacturers in India ?

    Corsair VS450

    To be fair it can happen with any power supply. I am not sure if these use ball bearing or sleeve ones. Its best to RMA it, saying that the fan is not spinning. Once the case is closed with such a PSU there's no telling what would happen. Brownie points to you for narrowing down the issue...

    ASRock motherboards for Ryzen - India availability.

    Honestly, a lot of people just don't care. This line of work will not always encourage the best people they can get and nuture them.

    ASRock motherboards for Ryzen - India availability.

    The management is laid back. I've had interactions with Supermicro who now makes consumer motherboards (calling it SuperO from Intel 200 series onwards) but its the same response. I dont think they have any interest about making Ryzen boards and having it available at a time of launch. Which is...
