Overclockers UK are rip off merchants
I bought an MSI K7N2 motherboard from Overclockers UK as a replacement
for my existing damaged board. After installing the board, et al, my machine still would not boot, calling an error in the RAM, and beeping like buggery. I bought a new RAM stick from someone other than OcUK, because they were cheaper. This seemed to work fine after installation, but now the motherboard called an error with the CPU, and still wouldn't even get as far as the BIOS. I bought a new CPU from a computer fair as I was now becoming impatient in getting my system back up and running. The new CPU didn't work. I had the original RAM and CPU checked, and the new RAM and CPU checked. All are fine. The new motherboard OcUK sent me is faulty however. And has caused me not only delay in the repair of my system, but also unnecessary expenditure on other hardware. I'm not a happy bunny. They came highly recommended, but on my first purchase have managed to seriously disappoint and inconvenience. There is no reply to the e.mails I sent. Their customer service seems permanently engaged. When I did get through they refused to send a prepaid returns parcel, expecting me to pay for the return of their faulty hardware. Having spent £170 on needlessly replacing perfectly functioning CPU and RAM they refused any kind of compensation. Even if it had been bought from them. Even in form of vouchers for their own store. DO NOT shop at overclockers UK. They're crap! |

I've bought lots of hardware from overclockers.co.uk over the last few years (self build pc's, replacement pc components, etc) and I have always received good service from them. Sounds to me just like you had some bad luck (not Overclockers fault) and maybe did not diagnose the problem correctly initially (again, this is not overclockers fault). I like overclockers, they sell good quality hardware at competitive prices and provide a good service in my experience. 8-) *Peter* - http://www.cix.co.uk/~pjgtech/home.html |
