The TPU UK Clubhouse

Pads are fairly easy, the discs less so, at a guess the labour charge would be around 75 quid just for the fronts, my oldest daughter just had all of hers done at Kwik Fit and the bill was 205 sheets.

Booked in for Thursday morning, praying nothing else is wrong...

I read something similar to this a few years back - either someone bought or rented a DVD from a major supermarket chain or rental shop and it turned out that the DVD inside was a porno instead of the disney cartoon the mother was putting on for her kids to watch. I cant remember the exact details but i think it could have been Asda that time too.

Anyhoo - Ive finally filed for an RMA of my HX1050 Bro'fessional. They will most likely just replace it with another one instead of giving me something else

Handed over my carkeys this morning, gave the fellas my phone number, and left the car at the garage at 8AM. I've been reliably informed changing brakes takes all of an hour, and the guys said they would look at it early in the morning. It's now 2PM and I'm getting paranoid... no call...

OCUK

Nah, no actual written or spoken word from IC as of yet.

Also there was nothing wrong with my car's brakes apparently. Although they must have done some good work to them, because they feel glorious to use now! Only charged me £20 for their time too.

EDIT: LOL they deleted my message on the OCUK forums!

funny that, i only sold the q9550 their tim dug into the other week to fund this new case.

the pit mark were still in it as the main one was too big to lapp out.

"need more mounting pressure" they said. i increase the washers in the mod to do so and i get told the mounting pressure is not natural and must be fake.....

makes me piss.

good tim but it really is a fuc ker to get right, and cleaning.....

Potential to be excellent TIM, but the customer relations has muddied their reputation for me.

There has to be some way we can let the truth about IC Diamond be known without having links and comments deleted. some of the TPU guys should make videos about the IC Diamond giveaway here on TPU and upload it to youtube with screenshots and links posted in the description about how the guy handled himself and the situation when people we saying his thermal paste was damaging heat sinks or peoples hardware. At most W1zzard should have stepped in and done something about the whole thing but all that came out of it was erocker closing the thread and everyone going back to their own businesses on the forums.

I really think that W1zzard with his connections could do more to make the whole fiasco 'more' public but for some reason nothing is being done by anyone - you cant link the IC Diamond thread on other forums because they get deleted. Youtube or twitter is the only way to make the whole thing more public where they cant touch your videos/views or opinions unless they paid off youtube to flag or remove your video because it was in breach of some silly rule.

Can you find the IC Diamond thread? found it

there are quite a few articles on the interwebs about it - blogs & news posts were made and some members here who are active in other tech forums made threads about it there also, but judging by the thread remixedcat started up on Overclock.net I dont think the people there really cared.

What's the TPU TS server details again? I'll join you on some gaems tonight, need to head to the shops first however.

EDIT: Nevermind, TPU TS server is no longer up anymore guess you'll have to join the same one as before, theunholy.no-ip.biz

 

[FreedomEclipse]

ts21.gameservers.com? port:9207


Let me know if it doesnt work.

 

[RCoon]

It doesn't. I might be buying a house with my girlfriend this summer. Well, we are buying a house, but it's being built. I'll build a crappy low power server and host a decent TS for us 24/7, or I'll buy one for $10 a year or something.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Sorry man, I think TPU changed their TS, that server was working about 3 something months ago when i last joined them. Looks like we will be jumping back on yours

i was not part of the tpu trail, i was part of the first trail on the specialtech forums and when i brought up my issue there all my posts about it were deleted. there was a comp about it for the mounting pressure. it was this which started it for me as i increased the mounting pressure with 4mm of spacers (google true penny mod, my ifx had the same mount) to get the best mount i could. i was told my results where unnaturally high by icd after their rep gilgamesh had told me to do it....

when i 1st posted about it on here when it started i was labeled a lair and a troll despite the images i had posted later being mirrored by other members here on tpu. i had a post vanish here too but it later came back when others had the issue

worst part is that the tim is still as good as it gets, but i would not use it under any cooler with high mounting pressure.


dude what it was imo is that people wanted free stuff....

Its sad that you got the shit censored out of you - and I feel your pain as i was abused in the same way by one of the mods but theres nothing you can do about it with how broken the system is. Obviously there are those who would like to differ and tell you that TPU is great and TPU is awesome but the underlying system that governs not just the members but also the mods here on TPU is broken, and there are quite a few of us here that acknowledge how broken the system is but shape up or ship the fuck out as they say.

as far as reviews goes - which TPU is pretty damn good for, pretty much every thread, every comment started on these forums has to be taken with a grain of salt, and i dont know about you, but the levels of salt on these forums are highly toxic if not fatal.

------

On a less serious note. Logitech has the Proteus Core 502 gaming mouse in stock - I can get it for £60 but if i wait i can probably get it for £40-50 on amazon when it gets released.... Do i buy from Amazon or get it directly from Logitech?

One of the more interesting things about forums is that there is no legal right to freedom of speech on them. It's just the way of things. One of the many reasons Gr33nG3cko was allowed to reign free for so long, despite the entire internet hating him. Pick a couple of your favourite mods, and browse their moderated sections instead. That's what I do, then I know I won't get screwed for calling someone out on something they said.

If I ever have a problem, I just PM @Tatty_One and he gives me a straight answer without the BS. Maybe I'm biased though, he is British after all.

On a more interesting note, I have been looking at the Sennheiser 323D's, either those, or a Blue Microphones Snowball iCE. Can't decide which!
