Yea, I almost got the mx4, but I've used AS5 forever and it's never let me down... lol Old habits.. Next order I'll try some mx4.

Yea, the 980 does and more that likely that 2200 won't stay in that rig long. :toast:

@Mindweaver do yourself a favor and forget the mx-4 paste. I was an as5 fan till I used mx-4 and now nothing IMHO for thermal paste can beat gelid extreme paste.. My 290 and 290x thanked me big time after using it. I never hit anywhere near 90 now.

And now I'm happy with my PPD.. Over 7k and that's what I'm used to seeing. That little bios tweak may have a bit to do with it but a few more days to be sure

@Norton you mentions for the prize listings hardware is only for the USA.. Well I volunteer to be the cross border shipper into Canada if needed. I have an american Addy and am in the states twice a week.

Just a thought for ya is all

We're gonna have a power outage today from 9-12h CET. They do this once every 3 years and they chose the perfect time this year. :slap:

That sucks

At least it won't be too long.

You know, the FPL has deals here where you can get cheaper power if you agree to be apart of this program that randomly shuts down power, with a little notice. I didn't go for it, not even to save a few bucks! :laugh:

madness777 · Mar 5, 2015

Back online at full power! Just wondering, is this any good?

Peter1986C · Mar 5, 2015

Would not know what is wrong with that (it is meaningless stuff anyway).

I actually have an old AMD xp3500 system at my mom's house that's not being used. Think it only needs a HD to get running.

Prices are coming down on some of the muliticore Xeon chips like this - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-...216?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3aa4545c30

Similar chips have been going about double that until recently. And some 2.1ghz chips at $650 sold out even before I got the email alert.

Is that a pre-production model? Says "Intel confidential." Of course they might just put that on CPUs and I haven't noticed.
