how could they use the spoons for shooting up?
there made of plastic.
I'm not saying they couldnt as i am far from knowledgeable on the subject but i was shown to bend the spoon so the heat rises to the crook at the top by the head and then there fingers wouldnt burn when they put a lighter under the head to melt the brown..
i am disgusted that i even know this rubbish.
Has anyone used those air penetratior fans from silverstone?
my intake fan is pretty crap and i see a video of a penetrator literally shooting a plume of air a good foot or so before it starts to flare out and lose force.

looks like a good choice if SPL levels are lowish

thought i should just throw this bargain up here for anyone whose looking for some good PWM fans...

Arctic cooling F12

Already put in an order for 2 of these

IMO best fans are Noiseblocker fans, i wouldn't use anything else. Great air to noise. Also WTF are you lot talking about now?

EDIT: Anyone know any deals on IPS panel monitors my mates in the market for one?

Anyone off to Sonisphere or Leeds Fest this year?
Most people here go to Download or T in the Park depending on your tastes.
LOL i just googled Sonisphere and in the line up is of all people BILL BAILEY. Kinda random to see him in the middle of all those metal bands. Also Richard Cheese WTF? Doesn't he do like covers of songs in idk jazz or easy listening style.

Just ordered some more ram to test, seems that I have more memory than I can shake a stick at, all DDR3, I have just bought a 6GB Kit for £51 (£34 for 4GB with free shipping), it's DDR3 1333mhz CL9 @ 1.5V but my top tip is it will do 2000mhz+ at CL9 @ 1.6 - 1.65V and 1833mhz CL7 at 1.65V :D (Micron D9's) Gonna give it a test at the weekend and finally decide out of 4 different kits which I will keep.

It's amazing how RAM a hoarder can muster isn't it? My shop seems full of RAM too.
Nice speeds, nice prices. It's crazy how cheap RAM's got over the last year.

Micron D9's? how did you know it had those chips? 1833mhz at CL7 is impressive, im right in thinking intels benefit from more speed rather than tighter timings though?
EDIT: Rams really dropped in prices this year, i mean i got my 8gb for £65 but im really struggling to sell the old 1333mhz 1x4gb i had installed before that.

Your right in thinking that certainly on the x58 platform, not so sure that the other current platforms benefit from the raw bandwidth as much, however if you can combine some raw speed with decent latencies it's all good!

I got a tip from a friend who ordered some, they are actually only value ram that don't have heatspreders and he was amazed to see the Micron imprint on the chips, so he tested them and voila! I will wait to see if I get the same before I pass judgement, I knew of these particular sticks and how under rated they were for the price way back when x58 first came out, Fit's got his hands on some back then and actually pushed 1.7V thru them (with active cooling) and got 2200mhz outta them I think at 9-10-9-28. Whether these are the exact same micron D9 derivitives I don't know yet of course.

Where can i find this ram tatty i need some and this sounds like a good deal if it o/c's that much

i'm on AMD though, if i'm remembering correctly latencies better then speed so what will these do at 1600?

i'll even buy 'em off you if you want

I don't want to send anyone up a bad path so to speak, there are still plenty in stock so can I suggest you wait till I get them in my hands, I will run a few tests and maybe post them here so you can all see if they are worth it, if they dont give me better performance than my new GSkill 2133mhz kit (that actually struggle in gaming to maintain those speeds without BSOD) then they will end up on fleabay

Sounds good, but if you wan't to avoid fleabay i've got quite a large need for 'em at the moment
