Charge was for 123.xx - I had 50.xx in the account (paypal balance) which it took, and charged the remaining 73-ish to the bank, but it ALSO charged the amount that I had in balance to the bank too.

Problem should be an easy fix, so I called (actually phoned) paypal and the customer service guy saw the issue, but instead of fixing it he decided to make the issue a LOT worse by 'charge back' the payment, which at the sellers site, ended up being a frozen order and locked account due to security reasons, and I've been 'force logged out' of paypal twice now since this happened earlier today.

Now I have supplied them all info (including original receipt, showing actual charge, the paypal records,showing it used paypal balance and charged the remaining 73-ish to bank, and the bank records, showing these 2 charges, along with OTHER paypal charges also placed today that had no problems) and I think giving them full proof / evidence that the issue is not due to my mistake or the sellers, but fully upon paypal, was when they issued the charge back (which lead to the locked account and frozen orders)

Now I wonder at this point, other than sitting on my thumb and waiting for it to fix itself, how would one normally go about something like this. It clearly is paypal's system making an honest mistake, which should have resulted (after a human placed eyes on the problem and saw for themselves the issue) in a swift fix, but has escalated so far beyond (I could have simply canceled the order as soon as I noticed the mismatch and redone it later, but felt that this would be something that paypal would want to be aware of... mybad...) but now due to the order being frozen, and the account being locked(I cannot place or modify orders, but can still navigate the website) I am stuck waiting on paypal to 'decide' if it was an issue or not (And I think the customer service guy getting annoyed with me and telling me to calm down didn't help much...)

So what would u guys do if a similar situation happened. What CAN I do at this point? (Other than wait?)

I have idea but want to know if it is feasible. I am not quite sure the length of tubing on this, never having owned any Arctic AIOs before(but have owned corsair AIO's) and want to know, roughly, the length of tubing, and/or if I can replace said tubing to extend length, and if so, is it wise to attempt a bottom mount (As intake, with filter) with sides (4x120mm) as intake too (or should I put the aio on the side as intake and use 3x 140 at bottom to help keep GPU cooler?)

Best case I have is to prevent as much inflow that is not covered by filters, and with both previous builds, I found the gpu suffered and could get hot (not dangerously so, but hotter than I'd like) and would like to try a setup with a clean, fresh air hitting both cpu AIO and also allowing the GPU clean/fresh airflow as well - Current case is bottom and front as intake, top and rear as exhaust, with a very slight lean on the intake to keep case positive pressurized and keep out dust - which has worked marvelously so far - 3+ years and I've never cleaned the inside, and still to this day I cannot see any dust buildup inside, front and bottom dust filters collect a fair bit of dust, but keeping them clean isn't a huge deal. I would like to emulate this success with new build as far as able, but, as said, want to try to give a slightly better 'clean air' access to gpu.

The PHANTEKS NV9 case has one advantage this one does not, and that is side mounted grill and fan mounts (either 4x 120mm without any obvious gap, or 3x 140mm with a large gap under/above the fans) - so idea was to either put the aio under (so it draws air in and then feeds the hot exhaust into gpu, not ideal) or on that side and find some way to cover the extra gap a 420 would leave. (Then fill all other fan spots with 140mm fans)

So rolling back to original question, how long are the tubes on the ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 420, and if not long enough to reach either spot, can u easily replace the tubing with longer tubes? (Or additional followup silliness, can u chain a 2nd radiator into it and run a top/side radiator aio chain and let gpu have all the bottom intake air?)

Thanks ahead of time for any interest in post.

I am asking this due to being wary about 'cheap ram kits' sold on amazon (and no they not cheap lol, but are cheaper than many others) and after being stung in the past, I want to know what kind of return guarantee you have, if the following hypothetical situation(which is something I had to deal with in past with another seller)

If for example you was able to snag a cl28, ddr5 6400mhz 96gb kit on amazon, and timings were all listed in the product page - but the received ram was a different kit with exact same housing (IE in my example in past it was a pair of Corsair Vengeance sticks, 2x32gb kit, years ago, ddr4) and the kit I got wildly mismatched the product i actually paid for, but I was refused refund/return due to me having opened them already(and I had to pay another 15dollars to have them shipped back)

After having been burnt like that, I am very careful about purchasing ram on amazon, but with prices being utterly freaking nuts the last few years(and no real chance they will drop down to normal prices before that AI bubble bursts) I want to know if anyone has had issues in the past....

So if I purchase a kit of 2x48gb (cl30, 6000mhz, specific model listed on product page matches the expected timings, BUT they are priced quite a bit LESS than all other kits, even exact same kit by another seller... although it does list 'ships by amazon' (Which in the previous case, was also the same, was 'shipped' from amazon but was not 'fulfilled by amazon' which until this, thought they were the same) - so If I buy it, and find that it is a diff kit (not the one advertised, but one of the junky-ish 40cl bad timing kits) can I get a proper full refund, or are you boned the minute you pop open the package?
