GPU Upgrade Success 2017.
That's great information, thanks! I'll update my previous post with this - Not sure why you didn't reply with this in the first place? (also being pedantic but, my anecdote is not wrong).

OP Asked specifically for anecdotal experiences. To me that reads: "Story Time!". Possibly, OP didn't want to read through hundreds of pages of posts that might also tangentially wander to gather his information.
In the end, I'm just not sure I understand your complaint on this thread. This is a forum where discussions occur, not a static users manual, you can read United's pages for that information. Airline rules, regs, successes, failures, they're a living thing. Their policies change regularly (and by agent and airport and hundreds of other factors) and an experience from 6 months ago might not even be relevant today. The number of times I search for FT threads on a topic and end up with hundreds of pages from years ago frequent. It can be hard to know if that information is still relevant or worth even wading through. I'd hate continually discouraging people from asking questions just because something similar has been discussed somewhere else.
Now that this is sufficiently off topic, I'll refrain from further commentary.
