Bit the bullet and bought the v600f on Newegg a few days ago. I was pretty discouraged by the really bad reviews of the case. Then a few good ones came along with easy fixes to the case's shortcomings (i.e. remove top fan dust filter for more space between the fan and mobo) The case reminds...

I stumbled upon an old thread of yours about a thermalright axp-140. Are you still selling it?

There isn't too much info on this CPU heatsink, so here is my mini review. Introduction: The Cooljag Falcon II is a low-profile CPU heatsink that boasts a clearance of 70mm, plus a fraction of a millimeter extra. I can attest that this fraction of a millimeter exists because I own a...

Hi everyone, I've been building PCs and posting on [H] for a while now. I really like researching my own PC components, but this time I want to build a super-stable gaming pc, and that's where single-component reviews and newegg just don't cut it. I need to know which components work well...

SOLD!!!

Thanks a lot guys for the fast response. Got my 5870 posted!

The Samsung memory chips appear a little white because I used Arctic Cooling Ceramique thermal paste, which is white itself.

Here's the story. I have an HIS Radeon 5870 for sale that has a replaced capacitor. I accidentally knocked off one of the 16V capacitors trying to force the card into a PCI-E slot. I failed to realize that the capacitor did not clear a SATA cable (from hell) that plugs into the motherboard right...

I have 55 posts, 5 more than needed to post in the FS/FT section, yet the forum will not let me post. Please, moderators or administrators, help me out here!

Btw, the 5870 runs even cooler than my 4890. After 1 hr of the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta, the HD5870 peaked at 44C. I'm only running a 240 Swiftech rad with an OCed Phenom x3 and 5870 in the same loop. My fans spin at 950 rpm, inaudible against my monitor's capacitor whine. This level of...

Yeah, I used some Arctic Silver Ceramique - it's non-conductive just in case the VRMs are exposed to it - at the end of the heatpipe and let it coat the whole thing as I pushed it into the block. I also put the thermal paste on the VRMs. They're small, so I just scraped a really small amount...

I was a bit worried about the compatibility of my MCW60-4870 GPU cooler because someone over at overclockers.net posted that the MCW60 itself works, but not the heatpipe attachment that cools the VRMs (http://www.overclock.net/water-cooling/586298-hd-5870-mcw60-4870-a.html). Fortunately, that's...
