  1. This stuff is the worst i have ever bought, i think i will go back to good old thermal grease that looks sort of like toothpaste and is a 1/5 of the cost. Anyway i think Arctic Silver is $*** to put it nicely. May reduce temps but i dont wanna have to be in my comp every month to replace it. frown


  2. Ok i added this stuff to my cpu and it was nice, cpu never went over 49C ever. Now all of a sudden my temps are up 5C with the same case fans etc and when i look i have no arctic silver on the cpu anymore :x , does it dry up or something because i aint keep pulling my comp apart every month to add the damn stuff. Got me anoid really when its £5 a tube. frown

     

    If it is supposed to dry up i will buy some paste instead.

    Hopefully the company from which it was ordered won't have a problem exchanging the board for you... What a pain, though!


    I would loev to see you try to get your money from royalmail laugh , they are useless, my new cold cathode light wassent to me by them and it arrived in 6days, not 3 as intended. Apparently they had tryed to deliver but there was no card so maybe they had forgot to drop a it off and even forgot to knock considering there was 3 people in the house the time they said it was delivered.

    Just bought this case a couple days ago for my Bro.

    THe Case Rocks. we got some Neon fans to go with it too.

    THe only drawback is lack of thumb screws. but you can take them from your Lian Li or buy new ones.

    I will probably buy an Antec Case for my next purchase


    If Sapiens74 likes them and he wants one then i certainly want one too laugh

  5. Yep UK, I was originally intending to go for a chieftech but i owe my mam money and i wont be able to afford a chieftech plus the window(especially considering that the window is £30 for a side panel, making it nearly double the price of the antec case even though they are pritty much identical except that the antec has 2 fans on the rear of the case :), and the antec case comes with the window :), where the chieftech has only 4 fans and no window.

     

    The Antec 1000 in all its gloury,

    £65.80

     

    If you ask me thats a damn nice looking case

     

    The chieftech case,

    £89.80

     

    I prefer the Antec out of the 2, and i get an extra rear case fan 8) and the window :D, personnaly they look so like, they have same features, same internal looks, Not to mention i can keep another £25


  6. Sound is an aspect i love laugh , thats why i have a full size Eltax Subwoofer under my desk with a dedicated amp for only the PC. Provides so much sound i cant hear myself at its 1/3 sound level and at full bass my wardrobe doors at the otherside of my room rattle very badly 8)

     

    However i have never found creative,etc PC speakers (5.1 Sets) to be good value, my amp and 5.1 set came to £200 and i have a lot better sound than than those speakers can achieve and its cost me around the same price


  7. It is probably going to be an excellent move for providing new technology into the CPU's, the only thing that is maybe a concern is that IBM may end up owning AMD. wether or not this will be a bad thing who knows?

     

    Anyway AMD are doing well and if they introduce new AMD only technology's into their processors (3DNow+ for instance) then this will certainly help boost sales of AMD processors. Intel have been ruling for a little too long on speed and reliability.
