Oh and I just bought some of this too...

I've read some reviews that put it within 1'c of kryonaut and cooler than MX-4 by 2-4'c

NT-H1 tim is pretty awesome stuff- that's all I use now.

Let me know how that goes. I'm supposed to be getting my new 9900k this week and I'm thinking about getting some new thermal paste to go along with it

mmhhh tested it, tossed it ... i prefer MX-4 for basic repast work, Gelid GC-Extreme/Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut/CoolerMaster MasterGel Maker Nano (by reverse preference order) for more serious work,
from my test NT-H1 was around the MX-4 level but more expensive (well Noctua ... what else ) tho the Kryonaut and CM MGMN were quite a few °C better.

although if it's the cheapest for you, then it's worth it.

£6.92 so about $9 for a 4g tube -- it was on offer. MX-4 is still cheaper though but i thought id try something new

I think you're better off trying coolermaster for mastergel maker. Seems to be getting good reviews. I also Considered getting it too

that's the one i am using, i was a bit reluctant about it, since it's a nano diamond past (hehehe ... IC...) but works mighty fine, still have some aside for quite a few more applications.

The most interesting is this nice-looking mice from Cougar which I bought for about 55 € or 415 kn. Usual price was over 70€. They still have the black variant, but since i don't fancy a black color, the choice was obvious. It was the last one in stock.

Btw, this is the most expensive mice I've ever bought.

Stuff will probably arrive the next week.

Edit:
Stuff arrived faster than expected!

Here it is - a cute rodent with aluminum frame.

It has top-notch Avago 9800 sensor.

All-in-one USB card reader. It's smalle than expected at 55 x 55 x 11 mm.

Here's something odd...I'll save the hussle: it's a remote. Installed it today, works without a hick up for now.

Just things to have I guess

X79 based Xeon's?? I've one of those boards right here

I just need some more PSU's to power it lol

GreiverBlade · Oct 22, 2018

dear THQ Nordic ... could you please stop doing interesting game boxes ... (will be testing that one later ... )

between that and Elex ... i think it's a "i am glad THQ Nordic still alive"
oh well nice extra ... a double sided poster

and more practical :

reversible micro USB short flat cable keychain (you always need one ... or rather you never know when you might need one ... )

I love the thumb drive.... how much was the set ?

it's actually just a flat data cable with a USB A to USB Micro (reversible) and it was around 13$ the game was 25$

Last week I got this HTC Wireless adaptor and it is really great, i was expecting some signs on the Wireless transmission but so far there is none at all, and i even tried with a more Graphic game like Fallout 4 VR but I didn’t see any change in graphic or technical issues like rubber band effect. it really makes the VR experience complete.

only thing that is a little irritating is if you have a pc with a color Theme (mine is Black/White) then the Green Network adaptor with the SUPER ULTRA BRIGHT BLUE LED is not blending in at all

FireFox · Oct 24, 2018

Arrived today.

I dont know why i have been buying too many USB sticks in the last week :kookoo:

I got this little thing ( Used )

GamerGuy · Nov 1, 2018

My final GPU purchase, a PowerColor RX VEGA 64 Red Devil, this thing's a beast! It easily dwarfs my Palit RTX 2080 Ti, and the latter's not a small card either....

Running CF mode together with the stock Gigabyte VEGA.......they're in my X79 Rampage IV Extreme + i7 3960X (@4.25ghz) build since the mobo's capable of 2x PCIE x16 3.0. The Palit will go into my Z87 + i7 4770K (@4.4ghz) build.

What's the performance of that red devil compared to the 2080Ti? Crazy how low the price on the Vegas 64 has gotten, 6 moths or less back it was $1000+ or more

U n me both. I think I only recently finished the tube you sent me that you had "extra". The only ones I use are

Nt-h1
Phobyia HEgrease
AS5

I have some other stuff from fancy companies ,but it's just tubes that came with coolers, water blocks etc, the 3 above are as good as any from my exp, & they are cheap & reliably easy to spread...plus they keep pretty well.

Watch for a bios setting saying enable ROG grid preload or some such ,i think it's in boot options, disabled stops it putting crap on your pc automatically, or not as you wish.
