    DimasTech?

    in Offtopic

    Posted

    Not making it a trade thread at all... nothing I have said about Dimas has been good besides the fact that I hate that there isn't anyone else in the market. Hell, look at the thread I made over at OCN begging CaseLabs to start making tech benches because Dimas is so terrible to work with.

     

    Even though I purchased a bench from Dimas, my updates in this thread have said nothing but they are making me jump through hoops to get a bench that isn't even what I wanted in the first place. They're running their business poorly and this thread clearly shows that.

     

    Like I mentioned earlier, I really hope you can get your money from them. Hopefully some of the money I gave them will end up going to you. By this point though, and if you haven't already, involving a lawyer might be the best step.

    Sorry, but I have no sympathy. You all have seen the threads and heard the stories, yet you continue to support a company that obviously is on the take and doesn't give a crap about any customer anywhere. I don't care how good the product may be, you can't support a company like that. It's just stupid.

     

    You talking to me or chartiet? I couldn't care less for sympathy and it looks like he just found out that this has been an ongoing issue. I'm taking a calculated risk and can afford to have $220 tied up for a few months. It's not like there are any decent alternatives right now anyway.

    Never ship a motherboard in a box that's too small

    I have an Intel board that is more bent than yours and it's working just fine.

    On the other hand I had boards with damaged corners that wouldn't boot (no idea if it's that's the reason tho since they were DOAs).

     

    Best of luck

     

    Yep... I don't think what it is with these motherboards, but I had another taco'd P5E3 Premium that worked quite well. It wasn't quite as bad as this but it had some curve to it!

     

    Here are the photos of that one:

    Tried an X548 Vietnam chip last night with some weird behavior.

     

    Before delid, did XTU at 4900/4800 @ 1.452V measured with DMM. Didn't actually try to lower the volts... After delid, temperatures didn't improve at all and neither did clocks... still loading at ~82°C.

     

    I took it apart again, reapplied TIM, and popped it back in. It started hanging on 55 every time, even with all completely stock. I popped in my 6320 and it booted fine. Started looking at the chip itself and one corner is bent up a tiny bit. I tried to bend it back by hand but it needs heat. I'll give it a go later today.

     

    But damn... how is Skylake so fragile? I didn't do anything to this chip to bend that corner... it was just from putting it in the socket? :confused::confused::confused:

     

    Tried bending the chip back but no luck. Honestly, the bend was so small that I don't think that was the issue. I think the chip actually died in some other manner.

     

    Have two new chips to test today, L548C027 and X548B926. I'll update this evening when I get them tested. Have 35L of LN2 as well... so that should help :cool:

    So it was meant to ship, but they've said there's now an issue with the order? Seems like a classic Dimas.

     

    I hope that you actually get your order.

     

    We'll see what ends up happening. I'll open a Paypal dispute before their window closes. Like 45 days after transaction or something?

     

     

    I wish Pulse and Rosty luck in getting their money back. Until someone else comes and starts releasing decent bench tables, I'll continue to play the low-risk Dimas game. No way I'd send them money for a phase unit though.

    Turns out it didn't ship yesterday.

     

    Hello, we're handling your order but we're having problem with the white V3, will you be able to change color for a choice of blue/yellow or red V3, or directly get an EasyXL for the same price but white color as you asked.

     

    waiting for your feedback soon

     

    I opted for the XL but I really did just want the v3.0, despite the "upgrade" aspects of the XL. It's 50mm deeper than the v3.0 (just under 2"), so not much larger. Width and height are the same.

     

    Unfortunately I love the white color on the bench, otherwise I would have gone for one of the other colors on the 3.0.
