Sleuths in the AMD subreddit have apparently confirmed the 3950X to be fake. I’m having AMD take a closer look at it for verification. This would be the first time I’ve run into a counterfeit Ryzen chip. Keep an eye out. Will link the post below to help others out with the tell-tale signs of a fake:

That's a smart person, assembling a gift before it's gifted to make sure its functional. This is exactly why you bench test parts ASAP.

[tonybeckett]

The variety of issues being presented is why I love this series, great detective work.

[kingofthenerds]

what a smart dad for testing it beforehand. I can remember as a kid in the 80s a lot of times I never even got the necessary batteries for the toys I received. I'm really looking forward to building my stepdaughter a gaming rig when she gets more into the games on pc.

20 years with computers, and I still learn something new every day. Thanks for this. Take love.

I love these videos cuz you show, literally, you can be wrong, and it's ok. A lot of computer repair people won't admit fault, but you do with no hesitation. Good on you!

You should inquire if AMD offer advanced RMA's, they will ship out the replacement chip ASAP and charge you for it and credit the payment for the chip once received and tested.

This is why I like Greg, he's always willing to do as much as he can to get people's PCs up and running, they are also very entertaining to watch!

A dad that builds such a beast with this amazing B/W colors combo. Omg, this dad deserves a reward !

Fix or flop has taught me so much. I'm not a pc builder by any means and it seemed very intimidating. I even had best buy assemble mine a year ago. But as I watched the fix or flop series, I learned about the plethora of mistakes they made. Things like not using dual channel RAM slots, installing my fans backwards... small things like that. Watching Greg disassemble and reassemble and test and retest over the past few episodes made me feel pretty confident about fixing all those issues I had myself and even upgrading a bunch of parts. Thanks for making it accessible. Love the content, keep it up! <3

You're a great fkin guy Greg. Much props for biting the bullet and taking a loss (even if it's only for a short while) to help out your fellow man. Humanity benefits greatly from having good dudes like you in the world. Be easy, and keep on keeping on brother! Peace ✌️

Thank you for these videos! My pc crashed when I was updating my motherboards bios, and it wouldn’t boot anymore. I did some troubleshooting that I learned from you and managed to fix it!! Turns out what fixed it was removing the 4 ram and leaving two of them in when I boot. Now my pc is working with all 4 sticks of ram!

I get as much joy out of watching this series as I did when I binge watched Breaking Bad.
Keep 'Em Coming !!

[forthevibez]

honestly love that you are so kind to people with their rigs. I hope this channel reaches a million subs soon!.

[richardbean]

I absolutely look forward to your Fix or Flop, Greg. I also love your sniffing-out approach, which makes this series much more enjoyable.

[Kwachiii]

This series is amazing, I am learning a lot about different parts and how to troubleshoot it

[mlthmp]

This is one of my favorite "series" on YouTube. Love watching you figure things out as you go. Excellent video!

[MaStRMmm]

Hi, do you think you'd be willing to make a long form video going through basic troubleshooting ideas you use for fix or flop. I know you cover it in the videos, but having one video with all troubleshooting moves would be majorly helpful. I had to troubleshoot a rig for a friend who is completely in the dark regarding PC stuff. I had to jump between 3 or 4 videos since I myself am not perfect and can't remember everything off the top of my head. But some basic things to be covered would be greatly helpful to many people.

[MlhuISGaming]

Your unorthodox approach is what sets you apart mate. Love it. Keep up the good work and cheers for the video.

this is such an amazing playlist. Greg you do such great work on teaching potential issues like this with builds. it is always fun to watch how you go through the troubleshooting. I definitely learn with you.
