It was an earlier 1.8Ghz P4. The 2.2 had improvements... it was better. Running that 1.8 @ 2.2 is not the same as running the 2.2 Ghz @ 2.2Ghz.rivas wrote:...

No you offered me $30 when I asked for refund of $40....

Actually you told me $25....

LMAO! I asked if you had a card for it... you said sure... not ever gonna use anyway, just sitting in a box.rivas wrote: You forgot to mention i gave you free agp card.
You are so full of it. You didn't know it was O/C'd? Bull.rivas wrote: ANd yes you claimed that you had to clear cmos because you couldnt get it run .....when you bought stronger PSU all of the sudden the mobo is working.I didnt ask for extra 10 bucks,the price was $130.AFter all you got everything for 95 bucks.I even offered pics,you declined ....blame yourself not me.
I never said it wasnt oced and you never asked.Cpu was 2.2 you said it was 1.8 it was sitting 1 year on my shelf i should have it checked to make sure.My bad.Maybe it really was 2.2 and i got ****ed but im not gonna start some flamming war for 35 bucks heh.
...LMAO... What would pics have told me? That it was O/C'd ? OMG, I think I just hurt myself laughing.rivas wrote:... I even offered pics, you declined ....blame yourself not me.
That pretty much says it huh? I dunno, last time I actually was into looking at mobos for sale, I seem to recall them being listed as what they are at stock speed... and then if O/C'd, the specs on the O/C. I dunno, but I had this crazy idea that O/C'd merchandise is labeled as O/C'd. It shortens the life of the cpu for one thing.rivas wrote: I never said it wasnt oced and you never asked.

I dunno anything about -$4.36. I paid $140 to you.... plus the $10 fee for a card I needed to buy to send you your payment.
I have all the pm's saved to a csv file on my other box that just died.
Don't make me go pull that hdd. Not for something like this.
FYI, maybe I talk privately with a couple SG members every day... as the end of the sale enfolded, and that zip code thing too btw, just maybe I was sharing that bs w/ my friends.
I can't beleive some of this crap you posted.
spamming you for six days?
OMG![]()
How about if I tell what really happened?
You Goof, after I sent the money... you sent me a pm that there was no zip code in my addy... and that well too bad... I f*cked up, not you... not your problem...and so forth.
I pm'd you several times about that... and all very civil... and you simply never acknowledged the messsages or it contents- basically a request to confirm the address you shipped too... that wasn't too much to ask was it?
So it was 6 days until you responded? I see.
You were not responding.
You're gonna tell me if that it was reversed... you wouldn't have tried following up on that? You think that is spam?
I find that to be hardly plausable. You'd have been sending a few emails too...
At least one a day. not 10, not 5... per day. 1 or 2 the first 24 hrs...then like 1 a day. Until the friggin mobo arrived. And it was the way you ended the zip code pm too... you stormed off.
And what does this say about you?![]()
fact was you f*cked up on the zip.... it turned out. When I got the package I determined that.
And overall, you were in fact not polite nor civil to me once you got your payment.
In fact, I could say you were spamming me with your repeated requests to make sure I include your name in the Honest Traders thread.
Yeah dude, here ya go, I put your name in the thread as requested... and as it deserves to appear.
As to the mobo.... it sure wasn't down 6 days for the psu .... OMG..![]()
I bought a psu the next day.
Yeah, I had a psu prob. The largest psu I tried was 290W P4? That I had no POST, no activity at all w/ no drives attached, only the memory, agp and cpu. The night I got it.
The rig arrived on a friday afternoon...I didn't get to it until evening. I sent some pm's to rivas... he replied...I bought the psu that following morning. Problem solved.

No you offered me $30 when I asked for refund of $40.... I asked...and then bottom line, it was like pulling teeth to get the $35, and only then cuz of the extra $10 "tip" I gave you, which btw was to go towards a different shipment method... which didn't happen.
You first offerred to have me return the rig... but me pay all shipping costs... and don't forget I do have all the friggin pm's myself- just not handy this moment. You were specific about the method of shipment, it had to be returned your way.
So I asked about a little adjustment to the price since it was a step below what was advertised- and what I wanted. You didn't want to give me $35 back.
Actually you told me $25.... I converted the Canadian amount myself and found it to be $23.
You are such a liar- I had no friggin choice about shipping method... ever. You were adamant about having me ship the return the same method too. No doubt to influence me to keep the rig due to the huge loss I would take. And your plan worked.
I'm starting to feel like I have to get up and pull that hdd for my .csv archives.![]()
LMAO! I asked if you had a card for it... you said sure... not ever gonna use anyway, just sitting in a box.
And... that friggin agp card won't work either, which I informed you of but specifically did not complain. it only runs at 1.8Ghz cpu.... if O/C'd, the box crashes right away on boot up.
I had to buy a used card.... and it works fine. I paid $5 for another used 64MB card. n/p on the agp...
You are so full of it. You didn't know it was O/C'd? Bull.
...LMAO... What would pics have told me? That it was O/C'd ? OMG, I think I just hurt myself laughing.
Duuude, you advertised that rig as something... then stick it in my azz when it's not what it was advertised to be (a step below the cpu listed in the ad).
lol, it was a 1.8 alright... I pulled the cpu and gave you the cpu code. I performed a physical check on the cpu after seeing it POST the first time as...as a 1.8. I had all the specs on the cpu... and on the 2.2...which was another class.
yeah, right, I'm gonna lie about it being a 1.8.![]()
I think you knew darn well it was an O/C'd unit, and that you knew it was that 1.8. You didn't expect me to find out right away.... and then your backup plan was to charge $50 for shipping costs so your sucker wouldn't want to return the rig for a refund.
Why should I pay all the shipping both ways- you provided false advertising, and I think you did it deliberately.
That pretty much says it huh? I dunno, last time I actually was into looking at mobos for sale, I seem to recall them being listed as what they are at stock speed... and then if O/C'd, the specs on the O/C. I dunno, but I had this crazy idea that O/C'd merchandise is labeled as O/C'd. It shortens the life of the cpu for one thing.
Don't make me laugh... this an honest traders list... not a buyers list.
I wouldn't recommend rivas as a seller, not even to my worst enemy. You may not get what you paid for and wanted. You'll eat a ton of shipping costs if you want to return the merchandise in the event it is one of those incorrectly or falsely advertised items. rivas might even get angry and post your real name in the forum, very good for your personal security. Also, when dealing with rivas, you need to backup your SG pm folders to a csv or other format.
rivas has illustrated who not to buy from
Just look at these friggin posts!![]()
And from my viewpoint... I know what all transpired, I have the pm's - just not handy. So this post pisses me off more considering that. Not just revealing my real name, but the gall to lie.
Buyer Beware.
I just don't feel like pulling that hdd to get my .csv backup of my pm's. The box is dead and awaiting a new mob and cpu... I was waiting to grab my stuff like that, that I missed. I've had a little work to get the rig I bought from rivas stable at 2.10Ghz, and w/ whatever else- me not being in town...etc... I still hadn't gotten everything off when that box puked.
rivas, you showed me how you are last night...in the thread you had last night that was pulled... you made a personal attack on me because I put aat something someone else posted.... and you made some nasty comments to a couple other SG members.
Too bad that thread got pulled. I responded politely... didn't see it for hours, and then I didn't throw any fuel on the fire. Quite the opposite. I even apologized. It vanished shortly after my reply... I was a little disappointed because I took the opportunity to be a voice of reason and peace this time, instead of flinging insults back.
Too bad, I wish everyone could have seen those posts of yours. You were so far out of order... No more bro here as far as I'm concerned... bro status is reserved ... 404 Error- Bro Not Found.
In conclusion, rivas demonstrated the need for Buyer Beware in this recent thread of mine
Price is not the same, lol. $200 plus $25 for Canadian shipping.
I thought rivas said "something better for the same price."
Watch out for the slippery ones.

I answered all your questions in general discussion board Helping a friend thread.mealsonwheels wrote:I bought a P5WD2-E Premium off ebay from "Rivas". Everything went well at first, he sent the motherboard in a timely manor and it was packaged decent. He even forgot the I/O shield and sent in Canada Post Express for free, what a nice guy right? WRONG!! The buy it now on the motherboard was a measly $120, which is a steal for a P5WD2-E, so i thought i might as well upgrade if i can get a board of this quality for such a great price. When the motherboard came it wouldnt post. It took me about a week of trouble shooting to figure out the problem. Rivas had bent two of the LGA-775 socket pins. The CPU didnt have full contact in the socket so it wouldnt post (except for the two lucky times the currect arced and allowed it to run for about 10 secs). The bends in the two pins are so small they aren't very noticeable unless you get up close and are looking for them. But sure enough they are bent enough to deny contact with the CPU. I contacted Rivas and told him of this issue and he got very defensive, avoiding my questions, swearing up and down that i bent the pins. After arguing with him for a few days, i decided it was time to file a PayPal complaint. Hopefully i will get a refund so i can buy a motherboard that isnt defective. Im just posting this to give everyone a heads up when dealing with Rivas.

YARDofSTUF wrote:Ok, unless you have a pic that you took of the motherboard before you shipped it, you dont have proof to support or deny his claim.
I see nothing in either post to say you do.
Your actions in the other thread, after the miscommunication about the pins being bent, either on the CPU or the mobo draw questions, because instead of looking to clarify what pins were bent, at first you mentioned he was talking about the pins on the mobo, then later in the thread you talk liek its pins on the cpu, and everytime there could be room for clarification again you become rude and attack.
I question your ability as a trader, both from this problem with meals and from ghettoside's deal.
HAH! Yeah right, it didnt even boot until i spent hours of trial and error. When it did boot it ran for like 10 secs and wouldnt POST again.rivas wrote:When he first got the motherboard it booted.
