thats crazy you paid for the shipping right?all they have to do is receive lol.

Called an made sure - they DO take Fedex and UPS even tho their RMA email says mail only.  Idiots.  So I get to Fedex Ground the thing.  I feel safer with a guaranteed delivery date and tracking.

Don't know if people have seen this news already, but the thai floods are expected to increase the price of hard drives, and consequently, computers.  Might not see return to current levels until late 2012.

So My EVGA GTX 560TI 2GB Superclocked card is running great, I cleaned the puter applied MX-2, all in all, system is running great, and the 4 new 80mm fans i put in to replace the dead ones helps a lot too.

still seeing average temps ~15 - 20?C lower than before.


edit make that 30?C lower from what I was seeing while playing TOR.

Just ran intelburntest

FPS with vsync on is solid.

Overall I'm happy with the modest upgrade i did.

edit2: apparently this forum doesn't like the degree (aka alt-0176)???
