I'm on the brink of emotional instability and evidence is swiftly indicating early onset Parkinsons.

aye well lucky you, hope that ssd delivers

my 500gb 850 evo died and after a week of waiting samsung rma finally told me that they couldnt do f-all about it cuz it's a north american model, basically told me i need to fuck off back to canada or ship it back IT IS THE EXACT SAME SSD YOU BIMBO

here i was convincing myself that heft aluminum SSDs like my SSD 530 held no durability advantage over cheap, lightweight plastic SSDs like the 850......not to mention that my intel SSD is 3 years old and been thru everything the 850 has with nary a scratch (as opposed to the 850 EVO that had a corner physically fall off the sata power connector...

thus goes pt. 2 of flipping the bird to samsung, bought an ACTUALLY ALUMINUM MX300 to replace it. its my 2nd crucial drive (first was MX100, still going, mighty satisfied) and third one with IMFT NAND; feels good to be back after the short lived adventure with samsung

Update regarding the 290x I bought, the seller is out of the country for the next 2 months and has refunded me £120 and I get to keep the 290x, so all in all it cost me £40, I can live with that. Still need to take the cooler off and apply some AS4 or something as it's hitting 90c in heaven/teamVR.....

Appreciate the suggestions for the CPU stress testing just going to have to deal with the fact that my motherboard was one of the low end z77 and can't deal with pushing my 3570k past 4.3ghz stable no matter what I do

Would prefer MX-4 instead purely for it being non-conductive. Prolimatech PK-3 is also recommended as i use this on all my hardware these days. Its slightly better than MX-4 and non conductive. it does costs slightly more though. my 970s idle at 24-27'c and top out at 62'c. my 3930k idles at around 32'c since i fixed the issue with it idling at 52'c previously.

Tbf that's what I meant but I haven't bought any thermal paste in a couple of years and am way behind the curve on whats hot or not, pun not intended lol

how did you solve it?

Things haven't really changed very much when it comes to thermal paste

'Grizzly' TIM are quite popular at the moment

I did have to buy quite a bit of paste in the past two years for putting together various different office PCs and otherwise but as I hadn't built in that kind of volume before I also didn't know what to buy. In the end I settled for NT-H1 and MX-4.

NT-H1 has always been good to me and they could change their slogan to Frank's Redhot and it'd hold true ("I put that sh*t on everything") but it comes in a small tube and I run out rather quickly. Personally I feel it has a big advantage in that it's more viscous than the rest, holds itself together and doesn't just spread goo over the entire heatspreader (harder to clean when it gets onto the edges of CPU/GPU).

MX-4 is nice because it comes in a bigger pack and is generally quite a bit cheaper. I've used MX-4 on my 280X as well as 4790K. But from general use I think MX-4 isn't quite as cool as NT-H1 (but it's only a 2-3 degree difference I think).

I eyeballed the MX-2 but I didn't need that monster-sized syringe in the end for less than 10 PCs.

The liquid metal ones like Grizzly look cool but obviously are going to cost more. Never mind, it's not liquid metal. The flat applicator head is interesting as it seems it could be useful for a big-ass GPU die like Hawaii

how did you solve it?

Changed the ram configuration from 8x4 to 4x8

::EDIT::

On a side note... Anyone wanna buy some 2400Mhz DDR3 ram?

So who's got a couple of high CFM 120mm fans and some thermal paste they want to part with (not for free obvs )

 

[tabascosauz]

Do NF-F12s count? I've 2 of em.

shit sorry I'm so tired that I'm sufferign from memory loss, I'm still planning on putting tyhem in the bottom of my M1 sorry m8

Baaaaaaa but yea anything along those lines I'm looking for, seen a pair of Corsair SP120 LED (57CFM) on a facebook group for £15 shipped but it was a few days ago and not sure if they're still available (waiting on the guy messaging me bk tonight) plus I'd rather deal with someone on TPU tbh

Do you know the model numbers? and are you willing to part with them or are you just trolling me like tobascosauz lol

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I think they were the 3000rpm ones.

 

[NdMk2o1o]

I think they were the 3000rpm ones.

Blame is automatically thrown towards China and Russia, couldn't possibly be the NSA or Homeland Security testing security, or Israel security forces, well known for cyber hacks.
