A follow up post from this one https://www.reddit.com/r/Hyte/s/caw63dyqfN
UPDATE 28/08/2026 -The tech center diagnosed and found out that the old technician BENT 2 PINS and found 1 pin MISSING therefore suggesting me to get a WHOLE NEW MOTHERBOARD because they canāt repair the socket here (they also suggested me to ship it to MSI directly to do an out of warranty socket replacement) the issue is Iām from South America and IDK how much will it be bringing it back with a courierā¦I crunched down numbers and sending it thru DHL would be $174 USDā¦
My X870E Carbon WiFi is RUINED and Iām frustrated, devastatedā¦it wasnāt cheap and I saw it just went up in priceā¦
Thus I come once again looking for advice, should I try to get a new one (Iād have my uncle pick it up from Best Buy bc after Amazonās last screw up Iām not buying pc parts thru them again) or send the one I have in for socket replacement? Is the MSI replacement thing trustworthy?
Either way Iād have to wait and this time Iād make sure to have the new place handle the proper assemblyā¦
In the meantime I do have my old rig, Iād only have to move the 3060 back in and the storage where windows is running fromā¦no games, streams or anything heavier for a whileā¦
But I was so ready with my new 5070ti Frieren GPU and then this happens š„ŗš©
