customer wants their pc water cooled
The customer wants a custom water cooling to their pc. So i removed the cpu cooler and the fan and also the graphics card. I installed the radiator, the cpu block, graphics card and reservoir and put the piping in and the coolant and now its saying replace customer parts?
I cant install the old cooler nor the graphics card back in. what happens now?

I think you have been hit by a duplication bug of sorts.

Make a MANUAL SAVE prior trying what follows (hit ESC and create a new save)

Then if ALL your objectives are green, just don't care about that, you probably have either multiple M.2 or case fans you can't install back.
So just place the PC in the hallway, and collect as usual.

I have seen that tip from bug section, and I tried it lately with a multiple M.2 duplication, so I had them in my inventory, I got 5 stars for completing both main and secondary objectives, got paied as normal, and last, all the tagged M.2 leftover were taken out of inventory.

I have all green lights (even the cpu overclock lol) but when i put the pc on the table and go to email. it says go to pc and not collect. all I have left of the original spec was the old graphics card.

Put the PC on the HALLWAY (caps for emphasis not shouting) into the "ghosts" spaces, not on the table.

You can never collect from table.

I dont have a hallway I changed to the Razor workshop cos it looks nicer. I have the pc in the ghosts spaces but it still says go to pc and not collect

Ok, I don't have the Razer DLC so I did not know that difference. Thanks for head up.

But wait... the CPU cooler and the old GPU are TAGGED with the customer's name ???
If yes, indeed that'e a bug, and I think I missunderstood your issue.
As usually the most common bug is a duplication bug when it says you have to install back parts to customer.

Could you post a screen of the inventory where you usually have case parts (but that also show tagged customer parts) with the "fit the PC" ticked ON ? That may help the devs.

Because if it's then a new bug, you need to provide way more info than original post.
Screens of :
- mail job, so we can read all the job's task and secondary requests
- assembled PC with the greened tasks
- newly upgraded PC stats
- Inventory with the parts you can't place back that are customer tagged
- And also again maybe the mail page with the fact you can't deliver

EDIT : if it's only the GPU that is customer tagged, you have a workaround though, you can dual GPU and have one watercooled and one regular one, as long as it's the same type of GPU (like 2x 1070, or 2x 1080 Ti, etc), but again tis may apply only in certain conditions like the customer did not ask for a watercooled GPU UPGRADE, meaning you have to install a better higher watercooled GPU.

It shows the customers parts as being the cooler and GPU. The box is the size of a matchbox but all the parts fit inside. there is no room for a dual graphics card. This game is full of bugs. I now have 2 machines that I have completed but insist on customers parts being replaced. grrrrrr.

Yeah there are still indeed a decent amount of bugs left.
I was not pleased when devs decided to leave early access, because they had so many bugs left from their last update just before going full release, and it was probably the most bugged version I had played in early access... and now that they are full release, they don't seem to rush bug fixing, applying same strategy as when in EA, aka, fixing bugs with updates... and since updates are less frequent...

Anyway, that's why I keep many manual saves made prior to ghive back PC's to customers, and once all that is done and went smoothly I create a new save BEFORE accepting new jobs, and I rotate saves.
That way if a job is bugged, I can revert to older save, reject bugged job, and move along.

I have a few saves on the go, but I think I may have to quit these jobs because there is no way to complete them properly, ie collect the money. They will probably leave me crappy feedback, but so be it. Its gonna take me a while to get 5 stars. I am almost there but no quite. its a good game. still having some difficulty with overclocking, but the last few jobs have been successful so ill stick with it. custom built water cooling is easy, apart from the replace customer parts thing.

Honnestly I haven't seen too many of those (later game at least, and I should probably say I have never seen any of those lol) so maybe it's just a bad moment in this game where they introduced, and you are right in the levels where they are a thing.
