PB Tech Hamilton

"Great service. These guys have lent me a tv while my one is away being repaired. I appreciate that very much."

"I recently embarked on an ambitious journey to upgrade my PC setup, and the centerpiece of my new rig was the highly touted Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX, purchased from PB Tech. Armed with excitement and expectations of unparalleled performance, I eagerly installed this behemoth of a processor into my first motherboard. Little did I know that this decision would lead to a series of unfortunate events that left me frustrated and bewildered. Upon installation, the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX proved to be more than my initial motherboard could handle. To my dismay, it caused my motherboard to malfunction and rendered it inoperable. This unexpected turn of events was certainly not what I had hoped for, as I found myself without a functional computer and a motherboard that needed replacing. The disappointment was palpable. Optimistically, I acquired a new motherboard, hoping that the combination of the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX and this new hardware would lead to the gaming experience of my dreams. Alas, reality had other plans. Despite my best efforts and the seemingly impressive specifications of the processor, I found that my gaming sessions were plagued by lag and stuttering. The once seamless world of gaming turned into a frustrating ordeal, with frame drops and input delays becoming the norm rather than the exception. It is disheartening to say that the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX did not live up to the hype. The performance inconsistencies and compatibility issues that I experienced made it abundantly clear that this processor is not as user-friendly as I had hoped. While the promise of top-tier performance was alluring, the actual experience has been nothing short of a letdown. In hindsight, I regret choosing the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX for my build, especially since I purchased it from PB Tech. The troubles it brought upon my first motherboard and the subsequent performance woes on my replacement motherboard have left me feeling disillusioned. Furthermore, despite my earnest attempt to share my experience, PB Tech did not allow me to post this review on their website, which adds another layer of disappointment to this ordeal. For gamers seeking a reliable and seamless experience, this processor might not be the best option. As I continue to troubleshoot and attempt to salvage my PC setup, I can't help but wish I had chosen a different path. In conclusion, my experience with the Ryzen Threadripper Pro 5975WX has been marred by compatibility issues, motherboard breakdowns, and disappointing gaming performance. While I understand that technological glitches can happen, the extent of the problems I encountered, along with the lack of transparency on the part of the retailer, has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I sincerely hope that future iterations of this processor will address these issues and provide the performance and reliability that PC enthusiasts deserve. Until then, I caution others to approach this processor with a healthy dose of skepticism"

"Advertise as 1-day delivery on their website for a TV. Rung Mainfreight who they use to deliver T.Vs & they say they would never do one day delivery??? Which is fair. False advertising on there site, it's after you have already paid. So full of it. Ordered on Monday night earliest delivery is this Friday."

"Pbtech Hamilton has always been a good experience. They usually keep the items I'm after or have it available in a couple of days for pick up. Most staff are good and the service is also good. There were times I've gone in to purchase a few things and been ignored by staff or they will quickly walk away. So if you can then do your purchases online and just head in for pick up's at the front checkout."

"Staff were helpful and directed us to an appropriate laptop for our needs, and meet our budget. The staff have knowledge of the different laptops, specs and what this means. The pricing at PB Tech is always very good, and cheaper than the big brand retail stores for similar spec items."
