About

GNCA is consumer-focused, non-reviews channel that focuses on consumer rights issues, the gradual and perpetual erosion of ownership and property by megacorporations, and investigations into companies. Although GNCA does not produce reviews, namesake channel GamersNexus does. These two channels are isolated from each other: GNCA (GamersNexus Consumer Advocacy) will focus entirely and only on consumer rights, advocacy, and investigative stories, whereas GamersNexus will stick purely to computer hardware. We chose to split these topics to allow each to flourish while allowing the audience to more easily choose which content to receive.

Video Description

In this first episode of RMA Rescue, we bought a user's Gigabyte X870 Eagle WiFi that was reported to have failures with an AMD 9800X3D CPU. The reported failure sounded extremely familiar to the ASRock and 9800X3D CPU failures, and we do actually think that it WAS experiencing that issue initially -- but unfortunately, sometime during the user's troubleshooting process and before we received the board, a pin got bent. Our next episode has some devices out for RMA with companies already! Learn more about the 9800X3D issues here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDX0l5kaYsc You can email rmarescue at gamersnexus dot net if you have a manufacturer defect that is still under warranty. We're working on getting a webpage live that will also help explain the process and give some key words to include, but for now, you can still use that email.
