not, this one has been run for about 3 years and i dunno why suddenly 3 of them is down
yea i bought the same version again since i could find no vengeance and ripjaws locally

de.das.dude · Feb 24, 2013, 11:22 AM

i had to buy both online as local shops dont have stock of the motherboard, and no one has dual channel memory kits!

I snapped one of the standoffs of my old 8800GT's cooler (Zalman VF830) :

Its okay though, I baked/revived the 8800GT 3 times

, almost out of breath and badly burned PCB.

my USB 3.0 hub died

makes a good 4 port wall charger w/ extension lead. using it to charge ipad + iphone at the same time, which most chargers cant handle.

syeef · Feb 25, 2013, 05:05 PM

Is it just me or Mussels having bad luck one after another...

Black Panther · Feb 25, 2013, 05:18 PM

My brother's 4890... may it rest in peace now.

I have no clue how that vram heatsink just dropped. Nor how he managed to get everything so filthy - I only assembled that pc like 2 months or so ago.
