HEAT SAFEGUARDS

 

CPU TO HEATSINK CONTACT

We use only the best heat conduction medium in our refurbishment process. For example, we use either Coollaboratory Liquid Pro heat conduction medium. It is 100% liquid metal alloy. Thermal Conductivity is 82.0 W/(m*K). "This is the grandfather of liquid metal compounds, and it still holds the record for thermal conductivity." Tom's Hardware 2020.  Because the following are also in the same and sometimes better ranking than Liquid Pro, we use: Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut, Noctua NT-H1 or Arctic MX-4 depending on several factors.


SHIPPING: We DO ship to Alaska, Hawaii and internationally via eBay’s Global Shipping Program only.  It will of course take much longer for you to receive your item if not purchased within the contiguous 48 states.

 

The package's weight is </=5 lbs. Dimensions for this listing are: 16"x14"x4".

This item ships from the USA.


All items in a single order are in one package. Per eBay policy, we "Don't ship the item until the buyer has paid."

 

It is unfortunate that we must state the following, but we must:

 

Regarding eBay’s 30 Day Money Back Guarantee, note that it references if the item is in the "same condition".  The words [Buyer] and [Seller] were added here by us to make it easier to understand.

 

eBay's policy specifically states:

"An item is returned after it was used or damaged by the buyer". "You [Buyer] get a refund based on the condition of the returned item — you [Seller] can deduct up to 50% from the refund for the lost value of the item. eBay will remove feedback, defects, cases in service metrics, and take care of any remaining issues with the buyer. eBay will complete the return and report the buyer".

 

This is At-Home Technologies LLC’s policy as well.

 

We admit it doesn’t have to be cleaned meticulously upon return, but if it is not returned in the "same ‘resell-able’ condition", buyer may not receive a full refund (in some cases only 50% if there is substantial damage). Examples of substantial damages due to misuse are: smashed LCD, liquid damage, ports not working, etc. or damage in transit back to us. You are responsible for it during return, if returned.  Return shipping is to be paid by us.  Therefore, take care of the item you purchase and (I can’t overstate this enough) if you must return it, return shipping should be 1) secure (as in a stout cardboard box not easily crushed or dented), 2) well insulated from damage (e.g., Bubble wrap, not toilet paper, or Styrofoam, not paper towels), and 3) insured for its full value with tracking and signature confirmation upon delivery. USPS Priority is one example that provides all but the insulation needed.

 

We pay for USPS Priority Shipping with tracking, fully insured for the price you paid and with signature confirmation upon delivery required (for this reason, please make arrangements for an appropriate person to sign for the item upon delivery). If you need it faster message us before purchase for another shipping option or choose USPS Priority Express.
