Stick with your Frio until you can get a proper watercooling setup or something better than H50.

I got a plain old TRUE with 140mm fans...... good for cooling VRM's etc too (Skythe Kaze I think or something like that) on in push/pull and I'll tell you this, they are still damn effective, I run my C0 stepping 920 @ 4gig24/7 on 1.28V and she will bench happily at 4.3gig @ 1.375V without any temp issues, in fact at 4gig she never goes above the high sixties although I have been lucky with this C0, it's a good D0 in disguise I think I have had this rig for 2 years now (less graphics card) and previously I never had anything longer than 4 months without upgrading!

They are a very good starting kit, you get everything in a nice package, and the things in the kit are quite decent.

Isnt the frio a high end air cooler? i mean i usually see it for at least £40 and upwards (not including postage). I thought it was pretty good.

LMAO im still on an old xiggy s1283, i recently replaced the thermal paste and the temps are still kinda high so idk if i just bent a fin or something like a year or 2 back. Its not as effective as when i first got it.

i heard the frio was about the same actually, maybe even better then the integrated systems

Probably just fan wear with the s1283

Im currently developing a love hate relationship with play.com

YES they have some amazing cut price deals on Batman Arkham Asylum fell to 3.99 the day AFTER i bought it.

I also bought 3 kaspersky Internet security 2011 licences for £12 - thats now gone back upto £17. and a few other misc items like a T-shirt that says "No! I will not fix your PC" - the 2 Arctic cooling F12 fans. and some other junk
----

none of this stuff is here yet. they are just so woefully slow with their deliveries.

Play.com havnt been that bad with me, they just use regular Royal Mail so blame it on them. They ship from Jersey (channel island).

Id like to replace my cpu cooler with something better but im a tight bastard and i need a headset after i get a new keyboard. My house is not sound proof even though it has massive brick walls inside, i think its the gap under the doors where the previous owners had flooring.

The fan in my cooler might be wearing down but idk if it is worth replacing at all might not even effect it that much.

If your looking for something Cheap but decent, have a look a the Gelid Tranquillo.

the Tranquillo was my second choice if i couldnt get my Frio for cheap enough (paid £35 for my frio - still not cheap but usual price is £38-40 so i saved a few quid)

The Frio is one of the best for air cooling i understand.
Maybe a reseat with some newer thermal paste might help?some dry out or crack over time which can cause air pockets.
or clearing out the dust in the fins and on the fan blades.

tenuous i know but possible.

I finally got my refunds from ebay last night Re: the dodgy 1200 ddr2 and the moment i decide what mobo and ram i'm going to grab the mrs tells me shes overdrawn my bank account

Oh man, I know that one! What mobo + RAM have you decided on? There's 8GB of Mushkin Silverline for £50 over at Aria... Only 1333 @ C9 but it's still 8GB lol

I hate not having any money.

I need to replace my GF's crappy S775 mATX board so if any of you guys have an G3/4X based, DDR2 mATX board you're happy to part with for a tenner I'm on the look out for one.

Excellent! Is it mATX? How would you feel if I arranged for Yodel (DHL) to come and collect the Mainboard from you instead?

Alright mate
That RAM looks way too pricey for what it is. The seller basically wants £75 for 4GB? I've got 4GB of 1600 C7 for less than that! That eBay RAM's worth £40 tops.
Mobo looks good for the money tho.
