I engaged Armands services after bumping into this thread, I sent in the first batch of gpus for normal servicing, changing pads etc, still satisfactory.
Second time I sent another pc of gpu, he told me can collect the same evening. I told him 2 days later la I come. Manatau when I came for collection, it’s not done at all, he totally forgotten. So he said give him 15-20 mins, for me no issue. After that when I received the gpu i thought it was surprisingly fast, too fast to do a proper job. I double checked with him if he actually tested the temperature after he changed pads. This is the right and proper procedure for all services.
He replied yes, normal la at idle speed 39-40 degc. At this moment I really had my doubts, the turnaround time is too fast to check, if he replied he hasn’t had time to check as he didn’t want to keep me waiting it’s the professional thing to do, not lying.
When I run the gpu, unfortunately, high temperature persist, the guy did not do any verifications at all and just lied. When I contacted him, he say send back. But no, never again, I don’t engaged unprofessional services no matter how good their technical levels are.
They are dozens of repairers in kl, unfortunately this guy has just been strike off my list.
The 1st 3 cards all ok bro, then u send another card, i mention on whatsapp to bring back and i change the other pads, maybe my staff not doing it properly, i even ask to refund but you dont reply.
