For the way the GPU looked like. You should've disassembled it and replaced the thermal paste also. Not to mention the heatsink, if the fan looked how it looked, imagine what was on the heatsink.

@user-vs3tx9lv5c Ай бұрын

The Cent per point score should be ignored if not scraped. If 10 cents is a good score, This one cost $350 and scored 5 cents. So, if they spend $700 on it , it would score 10 cents and be considered good bargain. Which is not even close to reality. For $700 you could build something much better. I've felt like pointing this out for a long while, this case really shows how inaccurate the point system is.

@ToastyBros Ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback, that makes sense and this metric isn’t perfect, but it’s a good sanity check for builds we think are good value on the budget side. We will do better to not say “10 cents or less is a good score” because it is relative to a ton of other variables.

@Lurch-Bot Ай бұрын

Benchmark scores tend to scale linearly but that doesn't mean the price/performance does. There is a certain amount you spend just to build 'an computer', regardless of spec and a conscientiously build midrange system is likely to deliver the best value for money. The problem is there are many different ways to quantify PC performance and they are not interchangeable. Their method also doesn't take into account the difference between new and used parts. An all new build with the same spec would score considerably worse than a used parts version but there is value there which is not being accounted for. You also can't account for things like quality of components. Not all 2060s are made the same and a cheap Acer blower GPU doesn't have the same value as a 2060 XC. Then there are other things like upgradability that aren't taken into account. I would much rather have a build in a budget consumer case than some crappy, ugly OEM case with a cheaply made MB and a middling quality OEM PSU. This Acer Nitro Suck Face is an objectively worse deal than virtually any same spec custom build constructed with even the cheapest consumer major components.

@user-vs3tx9lv5c Ай бұрын

@@Lurch-Bot Exactly and well said. The point system lends credence to garbage builds and vise versa. It's more than imperfect, its seriously flawed.

@UppyWuppy1 Ай бұрын

Disappointing that you only got 20$ back. not only does it not cover the difference between a 2060 and a 2070 but also the listing shows it was in new condition which it obviously was not. then again I'm not the one making a video about it, but it kinda felt like it was rewarding a dishonest and ignorant seller. As someone who buys from ebay this entire experience would put me off from this seller.

yea lotta D bags on ebax, got a 1080 used in said "works great! Like new condition" sounded like a jet and instantly hit 85c and throttled itself to be like -300 MHZ boost clock. When confronted seller was like "well its not gonna work like brand new" LOL.

You got a better deal than I did. I paid $300 for a PC that came with an i7 8700k, GTX 1060 6GB, and 16GB of DDR4 RAM. Mine didn't come with a PSU or any storage. I did get an 240mm AIO cooler and a case with 7 fans as well which I suppose could justify the price I paid.

@Lurch-Bot Ай бұрын

Man, with a seller that big, I'd open a case with eBay and ding 'em for it. $20 is not ok when the price differential on the GPU is $50. Covered under the eBay guarantee as 'item not as described'.
