There's a famous line in fine print, pretty much everywhere in the world, that people miss in warranties: "even if the product fails in its intended purpose" Now, legalities aside in a product being merchantable, all that's required by any company for this argument, is for them to honour...

I have to second Mussels' statement: you can only go by whatever the stipulation is per region/country/whatever. Obviously, you're in a much better position in Canada, than we are here in Australia. We've always been considered the backwoods of the world, despite having the second-highest...

Nice temps! :toast:

I think I paid AUS$72 for it. I'd say to stick with the V8 though, and use some OCZ Freeze thermal paste to compliment it. Judging by the reviews, there's something about the way the V8 is setup that makes it more efficient than the V10 :D

OK, well he should be able to get one through any of the e-tailers down there. Shouldn't be more than $52 at the most. Some sell them more cheaply. Thing is; it's not going to be a budget cooler once you factor in the cost of getting it to you. Unless you can get the postage cost down or for...

Not sure mate. As far as I'm aware, they're only selling on the Australian market (maybe New Zealand too). I'll have a look around to see where else they sell these :toast:

Ah! That'll be the Aywun A1-V8. I have the A1-V10 atm, which is just fine. The V8 actually gets a better wrap then the V10, but I can't see how that is (V10=5 copper pipes per side; the V8 is 4 per side). Use that heatsink with 1 (or 2) Scythe Gentle Typhoon(s), or the SlipStream (1900rpm) & you...

Use the High setting, with the default 5 runs as a minimum. For reference, you may want to enable logging as well. Standard is OK, but it's really not as good in finding probs, should there be any :)

Luck is no substitute for precautionary safety ;)

Perhaps TMI? :roll:

There's nothing wrong with adopting a "better safe than sorry" attitude mate :) :toast:

I'd have to start suspecting a bad PSU with that kind of luck.. Do you know what the relative voltages are?

I've had components (RAM to be exact) die on me, whilst taking it out of of the anti-static packaging, as this very action caused that much ESD that I didn't even have to touch it. The amount of static the outside of the packaging itself collected during transport was simply rediculous. This is...

Gotcha. That shouldn't be a problem. Um.. why would you not just use that RAM straight out though? Ooh.. just 'perving' on the new goodies perhaps? Not that I ever do such a thing often :toast:

LOL! Potentially, you will hurt yourself first. Working with a strap, is mainly for use with the PC turned off. In theory.. you work whilst the PC is off. Why would it need to be on? (just curious)
