[QUOTE=Odellus;33447765]okay now tell me the difference between the H60 and 212
was that hard?[/QUOTE]
Well I wasn't sure if there was anything better than the 212+ so that's why I asked?
Looking for small heatsinks for my GTX 460's VRAM / mosfets and what not, and I need the thermal pads or a non conductive sticky thermal compound to hold them. Amazon, radioshack, or newegg would be ideal stores, as I have ShopRunner and Amazon Prime.
so what PSU is good for a GTX590 i7 2600K, shitton of coolers and etc?
[QUOTE=reapaninja;33445416]CNPS12X haha good joke
just because you're happy to buy terrible ricey products doesn't mean you should tell other people to buy them
passive and decent cooling are two completely opposite concepts, grouping them together shows how little you know[/QUOTE]
I get 23C idle, 35 is the max after an hour of Intel's burn in with the CNPS12X, with an i5 @ stock.
I fail to see the problem.
Some passive coolers are fine for stock clocks.

Antec, Seasonic (XFX/Corsair) or Thermaltake.
750W for now, or 1kw if you want to SLI later.
850W would probably manage 590 SLI, but might be pushing it.

Yes there are, its just one of the best bang for buck air coolers. Noctua NH-D14 is 10C cooler under load. The closed loop systems aren't worth it in my opinion, they can get you about half way to an entry level water cooling loop.
tower 120 > all air

you paid $100 for a cooler when you could have gotten this [url]http://www.frozencpu.com/products/9489/cpu-tnq-02/Tuniq_Tower_120_Extreme_Ultra_Silent_Universal_CPU_Cooler_-_Black_w_Blue_LED_Fan_Rev_1_CR-T120-EX-BK-RV1_-_Socket_775_1366_1156_AM2_AM2_AM3_.html[/url]
better temps, cheaper, quieter

The Tower 120 isn't even on Scan?
I can't find it on any sites shipping to the UK.
I'm looking for a cheap, stable and communicative web hoster for a small site/portfolio, anyone got some names i could check out?
Nevermind, I was directed to Lithium Hosting, thanks.
Can AMD's new 9xx chipsets unlock CPUs?
Hello, I was wondering if you guys could recommend me a [I]good priced[/I], [I]working[/I], [I]smartphone[/I].
[B]Preferably not an apple product.[/B]
Would Microsoft Security Essentials(+windows firewall) with MalwareBytes(free) be good enough to defend my Asus G74SX-A1?
I won't be going on many untrusted sites, mostly well known ones and I will be playing mostly just retail games.

Quick question regarding a chrome extension:
For [url=https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/lpjpjcgbkjefppoahpegfajifjdmcblb]Chromapaper[/url], is there a way to get images onto the offline copy rather than just [image] placeholding? (The option doesn't work...)
If not, is there a instapaper app which allows for images in offline reading?
Would the Corsair TX650W PSU be enough for a 6950?
[QUOTE=Mindfuck 2;33452834]Would the Corsair TX650W PSU be enough for a 6950?[/QUOTE]
enough for two, easily
Coolio, thank you.

Yes. I don't even use Malwarebytes and haven't had an issue in years.
me and some friends are going grave digging on facebook - are there any apps / tools to see someone's complete facebook life without getting your internet raped by the live jquery update thing when you scroll?

Fuck, you only need one of those.
I have no experience with MalwareBytes but I know MSE+Windows Firewall will secure your computer very well.

Thanks. It's just so confusing that mostly every comment made about anti-virus software is different. Some people say they are good and some say they are horrible. Last time I used MSE+MS firewall and MalwareBytes, I don't think I had any problems that I could notice.
I think I'm gonna get a 550 Ti, which brand should I get?
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;33459811]I think I'm gonna get a 550 Ti, which brand should I get?[/QUOTE]
Cheapest or the one with a nice cooler.
You should get a AMD HD6850/6870 or a GTX 460 instead. Similary priced but better performance afaik.

Has to be nvidia I'm afraid, but the GTX 460 is like £20 more, and the 550 at £100 is pushing it a bit for me - I don't play games all that often
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;33459811]I think I'm gonna get a 550 Ti, which brand should I get?[/QUOTE]
Go with a basic Evga model. Unless you care about noise.

Which brand for AMD graphics cards is usually the best or most reliable?
Go for the Asus.
Do [B]not[/B] buy PowerColor.
Reasons? Explain. pros and cons.
[QUOTE=Mindfuck 2;33461867]Reasons? Explain. pros and cons.[/QUOTE]
Lower-than-reference clock speeds so they can sell the shitty models that don't work quite like they're supposed to and you don't get that big-brand support that you get with something like ASUS etc.
