To be fair to them, I bought a Gigabyte x58 overclock board at the beginning of December thinking my old Giga board had failed, I received the new one, before stripping everything out I thought I would see if it would start up one more time and it did!
I applied for a return under the distance selling regulations, next day i got an RMA number, within 2 days I had sent the board back and they immediatly credited me with the £150.

Actually, strangely enough, I preferred my 8350. I record and encode for youtube alot, and the AMD board came with 8 SATA III 6gbps ports, this msi only has 2, plus 2 from the controller thing. I loved Metro 2033, but dont play it anymore after completing it 5 times over, so I saw no need to remain in the heavily threaded line of CPU's. Everyone kept going on about the 3570k. Now I have it, I dont think i understand what all the commotion was about, I see almost no difference in real world performance amusingly enough.

Yeh quite possibly, this board can do 300 and it only needs 1.368 for 4.6GHz on this FX 4100. Would be nice to have a bit more CPU power for sure.

Mrs bought a slow cooker a couple of weeks ago ( I think she just didn't wanna be the only slow one in the house... bada boom pisch) so have just thrown in a nice shoulder of pork seasoned with sea salt, black pepper and paprika, also made a stock from oxo beef cubes, thyme and barbecue sauce and tomorrows dinner is now under way, pulled pork sandwiches.
The whole idea behind a slow cooker is as the name suggests it's cooks very slow which has a couple of benefits: You can prepare some veg, stock and meat the night before or in the morning knowing that when you have gone to work and come back it will all have cooked without any intervention Makes really nice sauce and casserole based dishes as the flavours of the meat veg and stock have a long time to marinade together A monkey could cook something in a slow cooker, just prepare the veg and meat/stock chuck it and forget ![]() I am hoping the outcoming of my seasoned pork in a beef and bbq stock is that when it comes to serving tomorrow afternoon, the stock will have thickened and soaked into the meat giving a lovely and sharp distinctive flavour, the meat will be VERY tender and should just fall apart as it has been cooking for 12 hours (albeit at a very low temp as not to ruin it) perfect topped with cheese on a bap with fries and coleslaw sides ![]() It's a Man Vs Food inspired recipe, you must have seen at least one of these shows??? typically american but fantastic at the same time

So it looks like I'm having to RMA that Corsair H80 again
Any suggestions on what to go with for my next cooler as I don't want another H80!

The design yes but all of the pump internals are made in house for thermaltake so performance and durability will be different of antec.

Corsair's SP120s are also decent, but use them at 80-90% with a fan controller otherwise they can be a bit whiney. maybe so, that that means very little when the difference in results are so close they are negligible - apples to apples, you can re-label a TT Water 2.0 Pro as a Antec 920 and nobody would notice the difference. apart from the software or slight difference in design/mounting

At the cost of being able to send my old H80 back for RMA, i decided to take the pump to bits and inspect. The old Corsair pump units are poorly made, my issue was with a cable that wasnt soldered in, it was just glued against a copper plate. While I may have a H100, in the coming months if i were a prospective AIO buyer, I wouldnt get a Corsair after such experience.
