I think there was one older involving a rotary telephone.

I hate working on smokers' computers and charge extra. I usually take EVERYTHING apart and wash most parts. I used warm water, isopropyl alcohol and a brush with natural bristles.

That was awesome of you! Bravo Zulu!

What kinds of ROHS solders did they use? My current job uses SN96 and sometimes SN95 for ROHS products. We use good old SN63 for most products. I dread it when we use SN18. It is quit difficult to work with and has a bad tendency to crack during thermal shock testing.

I have bought several open box items and only had trouble with one open box motherboard. I bought it from Newegg and it was quite sad when I received it. It was missing the antennas, CPU backplate, CPU heatsink mounting brackets and the screws that held the m.2 drives, and covers in place. I...

That price for the combo is a steal. I would go for it.

I had a pair of OCZ SSD's in RAID 0 for the Core i7 920 system I built many years ago. I believe they were among the first consumer SSD's on the market. I later got a REVO X2 for the system.

Apple for many years has had good high-speed peripheral support. I would like for Thunderbolt to get more loving on the PC. My past few motherboards had Thunderbolt built-in and I had a card for my X99 system. USB on crack.

I echo the recommendations to go with the 12400 with a DDR4 motherboard instead of the 11400. You will get a lot more single thread performance for a little bit more money.

Thank you!

May want to price the 12400 with a DDR4 motherboard.

This has been very frustrating. I cannot even get a ticket to open. I even registered the product with no luck. I also cannot find a phone number to call about this product. I had zero issues getting MSI to repair a defective motherboard.

I guess our hobby's days are numbered. I was tempted to pick-up a 12700K until I saw those numbers. Full loads too.

This makes me want to vendor my GPU, take the rest of the rig to an outdoor gun range and put several hundred 10mm rounds into it. DESTROYS my rig in everything at 1/50th the size and at a fraction of the power usage. Not that I have an older machine either at about a year old.

I bought one of the affected CPU coolers for my brother-in-law and had emergency shutdown issues. I tried getting it swapped and it keeps telling that this service is not available in your region (United States). I tried opening a support ticket and only get a blank page. I am tempted to toss it...
