Hello everyone, I'm Crazy Silver Bear......
Written on the front
A few days ago, I swiped a netizen at station B, and I just fought Xixi online, because the third-party merchant who spelled Xixi sent him a second-hand 4070S, and now it has gone to the prosecution procedure, although I really support it, but I am also very emotional when I see him defending his rights for more than two months. You must do your homework when buying things in Pinxi and Douyin Mall, and there is no way to appeal if you are cheated.
Because recently the author wants to play "Black Myth Wukong", so during the 618 period, I bought a set of machines, i5-12600kf and Nvidia 4060ti, the overall cost is less than 5000 yuan, of which the processor is 800 meters in bulk, also from the Douyin mall, superimposed 1000-120 coupons to buy. The graphics card also comes from the Douyin mall, and after superimposing 3000-240 coupons, it was purchased at a price of 26000 yuan, and the others were previously saved. Attached is a configuration map, everyone can feel for themselves, as far as this configuration is concerned, it should be no problem to run a 2K game. Because the graphics card is the largest piece in the current installation,So many people are more cautious when buying graphics cards,The author is too,I used to place orders on Jingdong's own operation before,But it's more expensive than Douyin Mall200,For me who is stretched,This is still unacceptable。 However, Douyin and Pinduoduo are all sold by third-party merchants, and there is a high probability that second-hand graphics cards will be mentioned. Today, I will share the author's experience in purchasing graphics cards and CPUs to avoid pitfalls, hoping to help friends in need.
Precautions for choosing a graphics card
1. Look at the comments of purchased netizens in the comment area
Because the sellers are third-party platforms, buying large items mainly depends on the seller's conscience. When buying a graphics card, the first point is to look at the comment area, if there are a lot of products, then please avoid pitfalls.
Of course, many sellers will put the same product off the shelves after the new listing, so that there is nothing in the comment area, at this time, we can enter the merchant's homepage, check the evaluation of other graphics cards, if the comment area is also mostly bad, then the merchant will be blocked.
2. Communicate with customer service to confirm the status of the graphics card
As soon as many netizens saw that the seller had a good price, they couldn't help but shoot it and wait for the delivery, in fact, the good price is really not much, please be cautious if the price is too low, the best way is to take a picture first, and then communicate with customer service to confirm the condition of this model graphics card, whether it is brand new, whether it is in China, whether it supports warranty, etc. Every answer from the seller is a proof of your rights protection in the future, so be sure to communicate more, whether it is before or after the purchase.
3. Must be signed in person
Nowadays, many express delivery points are put on the consignment point, and the general graphics card is JD Logistics or SF Express delivery, so you will not refuse if you ask the courier to deliver the goods to your door or sign in person, and you don't want to say a word "put the consignment point", because you don't know how the consignment point will visit your goods, whether to throw or put, you don't know, and it is very troublesome to receive the problem card later. It is recommended to sign in person, record a video of the receipt when signing, and confirm that the outer packaging is intact before receiving the goods.
4. The unboxing video must be recorded
Sometimes the author has the risk of ripping off when buying things in JD, not to mention third-party stores, for graphics cards that are easy to second-hand products, everyone must record an unboxing video after buying, the video from the outer packaging, to the appearance of the graphics card, and even the installation and booting, until the more detailed the score, the better. Of course, as long as it's brand new, there is a high probability that there will be no problem, if time is tight, like me, you can record it until it is confirmed that it is brand new, and of course I also sent it to station B......
5. If you look at the appearance of the graphics card
After receiving the goods, the outer packaging must be intact, and then after unpacking, look at the graphics card packaging, the general graphics card packaging has plastic packaging and dustproof, this should be confirmed by looking at the pictures in the comment area of JD, which sells more. Of course, there are also brands that don't, for example, the Yingzhong that the author received doesn't have. Then a very critical step, look at the production date on the package, whether it is the latest batch, generally the newer the graphics card, the lower the probability of second-hand, such as the author's this, the newly produced graphics card bought in June, the probability of being a second-hand product is almost impossible.
Second, look at the tear-proof tape on the left and right openings of the packaging box, whether it is brand new and has not been moved, this is very simple, generally opened, there must be bubbles in the tear-proof sticker, and there are traces of fingers or related tools on the edge, if you find that the tear-proof tape has moved, then don't open it again, at this time, contact customer service twice to see if it is brand new, and show the picture to the seller, if the seller admits second-hand, then ask for a new one. If the seller insists that it is brand new, we can also ask the seller to exchange the unopened interface for 7 days without reason. Of course, if you want to fake one and pay three, you can also video record the subsequent unpacking results.
Third, after opening the outer package, the graphics card will generally be sealed with a plastic sealed bag, and when turned over to the back of the sealed bag, there is a tearstop sticker, and there will be a crease in the middle of the tear sticker, which will definitely break if it is forcibly opened, so carefully see if the tear sticker has been unpacked. If it is intact, it is enough to continue.
Fourth, take out the graphics card, first look at the gold finger, the brand new gold finger, there must be no traces of plugging and unplugging, and then look at the fan, the new graphics card fan and heat dissipation fins must be clean, even if the profiteer has a blow, the dust on the back of the second-hand graphics card fan is not easy to clean, it is recommended to take out the flashlight and watch carefully. Finally, take a look at the HDMI, DP socket, if the interface has obvious plugging and unplugging traces, it is undoubtedly second-hand.
Fifth, the last step is to check whether the product code on the package and graphics card is consistent, and then record the power-on video.
Let's talk about it here,Generally, if you have received a second-hand graphics card,And the whole process of recording a video,Then whether it is Douyin or Pinxixi, it will support users to return or change to a new one,Of course, if you want to pay ten for a fake、Fake one for three"Unreasonable"Requirements,Then the platform will most likely not give you a platform,After all, merchants have paid"Protection fees",So remember this,If you have enough time,And know a little about the law,Then you can spend it with the merchant,If not,Then it's better to choose to return or exchange。
Finally, let's talk about how to buy a graphics card,If you're a 2K party,That's the most basic 4060ti8G version,It's barely enough to open a ray tracing,If you want to play4KThe picture quality,That's 4070s to start。 The 16G version of the 4060ti has a certain bonus for the AI large model, and there is basically no difference between the two in terms of game performance, if you only play games, then the 4060ti and 4070s are enough. Of course, if you want to play triple-A games with 4K high image quality, 4080 should be the minimum configuration. In addition, if you have certain needs for editing, rendering, retouching, and creation, NVIDIA is your best choice, if you just play games, AMD is more cost-effective, it is recommended to attach a recommended configuration map for playing "Black Myth: Wukong", you can feel it yourself.
Precautions for CPU purchase
1. How to choose boxed and loose pieces
In terms of CPU purchase, for the pursuit of cost performance, the author recommends starting with loose chips, which are generally hundreds cheaper than boxed, of course, if you have the ultimate pursuit of overclocking, it is better to spend more money on boxing, and the general boxed system is better. Take Intel as an example,If you want to overclock,Be sure to choose the model with the suffix K,The author's 12600KF is a processor that supports overclocking,F means without a core display,The corresponding will be a few hundred cheaper than the version with a core display。
2. Look at the presser foot for loose pieces
Take loose pieces as an example, after buying back, like the graphics card, record the whole video, after unpacking, mainly look at whether there are traces of the presser feet on the left and right sides of the processor, and there are traces that indicate that they have been used, and there is no doubt that they are second-hand. In addition, you should also be confident to see if there are stitches on the front and back, and if they are fine, put them in the protective case.
3. Installation attention
Finally, let's talk about the installation of the CPU, generally there are two sockets on the PCB of the CPU, the design is different, look carefully and then buckle it up, and then there will be no problems. Generally, the position of the bump of each generation of the base is different, depending on the CPU.
summary
For the big guys, most of the above content may be nonsense, but there should be a lot of whites like me, so I still share it seriously, I hope it can help everyone, after all, the price of a graphics card and a CPU is really not cheap, everyone must be ready to buy.
Finally, I will complain about the marketing operation of Goudong this year618 mentally retarded, yesterday night at 12 o'clock in the morning, I sent a 999-100 coupon, 4060Ti graphics card can do a minimum of about 2600, and Pinxixi \ Douyin Mall is the same, or the official flagship store, I think many people should have been Pinxi and Douyin washed their wallets, how can there be spare money to sell to you? In a word, the dog can't catch up with the heat when he eats. However, I don't care about this discount, the author still recommends that Goudong buy Ha, it is best to be self-operated by Goudong, after all, it is more assured and after-sales is more secure.
For the sake of the author typing so many words, friends remember to like, collect, and reward, let me get back blood, refill......
