Its happened twice to hardware unboxed... Makes me wonder if this is just accepted practices now and they got in an argument about price??? Maybe im over thinking this?
i'd unplug everything take the gpu out, take the ram out, unplug all cables take the cmos battery out and let it sit for like 15 mins then put everything back in.
Yeah, i'd probably drop the 3950X down to a 3700X and pick up the 2080 TI. I dont really think you would really miss all those extra threads for a gaming rig.
