well i hope i can get a new one from SeaSonic or buy one and i hope it could be from their EU site but i canT find it there

well i need to find something to hide them better but this here is the way i can do it atm. it's better than bush of cables in the cable and blocking the airflow.

Hope yours stays quiet and cool...good luck with the new card.

Ha!


My wife was all like:


"oh, pretty, can I haz it? "


I think I winked at her.

She went upstairs, came back downstairs, it was in peices, and I'm taking pictures....


Wife:


"Shit. Guess not. "






And yeah, it arrived at my door last night @ like 7:30 pm by courier, and by 10:30, when we had finished BF3'ing, I got right to work!


I do this with all review samples....get it, take it apart, take my pics, then re-assemble and test to make sure it stil lworks, then put it in "queue" on my shelf.

EDIT : Hey, in the second to last pic, does anyone know what that connector is for on the side of the H100 cooling block?

Took the mobo out and redid the thermal paste on both chips and cleaned fan too.

It did wonders for it actually. Saved a mate 2 years of revit work and all his architecture study info.

I love to know how things are engineered, i cant help it, whenever i get new tech toys, the first thing i do is dismantle to see how its made/works.
