Cheap as chips unfortunatly these days since the improved H80i has come out, in fact you can get a H80i for £77 and that is pretty much old H100 performance, think sixties for the straight H80.......

As a rule of thumb for selling hardare, i minus the 20% VAT from when i bought it, then minus off 10% of the price for each year it has been used.
H80's are good, but H80i's are better, and pretty damn cheap. You might find it difficult to shift a H80 when everyone is getting great performance from the new series.
I just replaced my H80 in fact

Seems about right, find the cheapest and cut it by a pound or two, when i sold it to you, i matched ebuyer price and included postage hence it was only a little cheaper than them
But then again that was the newest series of OCZ psu that model had only just come out
Still thats a good price

I may put the H80 & 1090T up for sale as set, I'm really wanting an 8 core even though I've always told myself to wait for more cores

Why, you won't see any difference, apart from in your wallet of course.

I'm going to be able to afford new components next month.



Really want Fractal Design to release an R2 Arc Mini.

most expensive mouse pad in the entire history of man

having a mouse pad made out of pure ivory works out a fair bit cheaper.

Even though I like the Define Mini, I'm in "love" with the Arc Mini. I just really want a second revision. I know what will happen (SODs Law) I'll buy the Mini and they'll announce an R2.

I'm planning on getting a Sammy 840 Pro (256GB) to start with so that I can breathe some new life into my current setup and then eventually I'll grab a new mainboard (Maximus V Gene) and possibly a 3770K.

After that I'll grab an H110 and finally some new RAM if I cba.

Good times ahead.

After 6 hours of emailing, they finally decided to open an RMA case, then threatened me with a £12.50 testing fee and return postage (even though im paying for it to be sent!) if the chip isnt faulty! Then they suggested i send it to a tech support guy. I swear they are intentionally trying to insult me.

You can only learn from your own mistakes when it comes to OcUK.

I should have never bought a motherboard from their B-Stock area and i should have never returned it. Probably cost me like £130 in the end... and this was when i was like 16/17, not useful.

Maximus II Formula too, amazing board

Have you seen any advantages with the new setup, noticing any boost in certain games or does it compare badly. Just interested

Anyone want a Gigabyte P45 Extreme to play with? It's got a lapped CPU in it which, if i remember correctly, is a Pentium/Celeron or something.

Only issue it has is an occasional BSOD. I think it's down to the NB, but might be worth a play / salvage for copper, lol.

It's just laying around here and i might aswell send it to someone.

*Guessing i can post this, Sir Tatty, as i'm not asking for moneys and it's UK..
