That is the truth.. But, i've found, after using every brand, only bp can hold a water block... Meaning...


rad up top.. 1/2 tubing to cpu block... the block dangling from the barb it self... only bp can keep the tube in place without it slipping off.. How I know... the $200 paperweight I have sitting here....

Picture quality is bad, not exactly close ups, but still sexy (to me!).







Hit up the microcenter sale today, got all the above for $324.

Well I got the i5 for $189 and with the purchase of the cpu the mobo was $84. I had a budget of $350 and figure the i5 will be just fine for the gaming I do.

Not a bad deal at all. I was considering an i5 like that before I decided on the FX-8150.
