Well, the first chip I would put down to severe abuse, but am I reading it right that the replacement ended up faulty aswell?

No, the 2nd chip is happy at 4.6ghz 1.36vcore

Yes, thankfully it unselfishly took all of the pain and sacrificed itself so that the other parts could live on, I got a new board too though it ended up not being that so sold my old one on the bay and kept the new board and CPU

Not bad at all then (except for the down-time) good to hear it all worked out for you

Loads of broken phones! I've been keping them for the screens (my excuse for hoarding broken things) Other than that Berlingos and LDV Iveco's. Nothing you'd be interested in

FreedomEclipse · Nov 3, 2011, 04:08 PM

well, If you manage to get to something before they see you coming and trash it. send me a pm

and you said price hikes but you didnt say that they jumped to over £200! that F3 used to be £40. if they increased the price to £60 or 80 - fair play, but over £200???? they have no shame

Lol yeah but still said price hike up just didn't say how much and even external drive prices gone up.

scaminatrix · Nov 3, 2011, 04:32 PM

Looks like it's time for me to start selling my HDD's...

Wonder how much i could get extort for my 1TB WDC Black

cheesy999 · Nov 3, 2011, 05:13 PM

i thought SSD prices would go up as well since they would have less competition from HDD but they seem to be continuing their downward trend

Dont ask me where but i saw an SSD for £1 - 1gb ratio, it was 60gb. Now that is close to a price i would pay for a boot drive.

Going to ask if the dude still has that cpu i was offered, i think they relisted it tho

64GB for £69 but this is a high end drive --> http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/cruc...ebuyer-1050944

96GB for £95 here --> Kingston 96GB V+100 2.5" SATA-II SSD - Read.. | Eb...

120GB for £115 on scan's today only page

EDIT:Just noticed sky have upgraded my broadband without telling me, now i have 6Mb with 28ms ping time

FreedomEclipse · Nov 3, 2011, 05:57 PM

those HDD prices make SSDs look value for money

thats how retarded these prices are. Samsung F3 for £212??? bitch plz!

£212 for a slow ass 1Tb HDD that doesnt use half the bandwidth available on Sata II (or sata III)

128Gb Crucial M4 = £145
180Gb Corsair Force3 SSD = £198

still cheaper then a 1TB SSD for those who who need the storage though

FreedomEclipse · Nov 3, 2011, 06:00 PM

You dont need to load all your programs onto an SSD though! Using it as boot with 1 or 2 games on it is more then fine.

but the point was even though hard drive prices are now incredibly high they still look better then SSD in a lot of scenarios

If you already got a hard drive and were planning to buy another one at this juncture. even paying £130 for a 90Gb SSD is a better idea - Migrate all the boot files over and that saves the hard drive at least 40-50Gb. (40-50Gb is based on W7 ultimate with all current updates with a few regular programs like Office, Roxio/Nero, Paintshop/Photoshop and maybe 1 or 2 more)

KieranD · Nov 4, 2011, 06:58 PM

I never got an answer back about the cpu, guy resold it on ebay. lol kinda muffed

Tatty_One · Nov 4, 2011, 07:46 PM

Considering how these hard drives have exploded, a 500Gig Barracuda 7200.12 for 75 quid aint too bad and they are pretty fast too. Got bored and am scouring the net for deals lol.

Edit: Cancel that, this is an even better deal......

Coming from a guy who owns a Jaguar XF and about 3 or 4 different properties.... Yeah!!! aint bad at all Mr Moneybags.

If they aint so bad why dont you treat some fellow TPU UK members to a few of them?

On a side note....

Tried to put my old back up rig together again and i cant get it to boot in or out of the case. I suspect the board as copped it as graphics card still works...

Not worth buying replacement parts for an AGP rig so i guess i'll sell off whats left for beer money

FreedomEclipse · Nov 4, 2011, 08:00 PM

Prices are terrible compared to less then a month ago when you could of had a Samsung F3 1Tb for £40.

...but you dont drink beer?

Ridiculous how bad the prices have become but i have a suspicion the prices will take ages to come down next year because hard drive prices where so cheap before the flooding.

FreedomEclipse · Nov 4, 2011, 08:02 PM

Just because I call it beer money doesnt mean i cant spend it on whisky
