green stuff?

I can see one at the top left.

What is the green gunky stuff?

 

[alexp999]

Still cant see no bent pin, maybe you could circle it, and there is green stuff in the bottom left of the socket in that pic.

I see the green stuff too...unless its his cam....I don't see a bent pin though.


Some eyecandy to try and lighten the mood:

Redid the CM and tried (failed) to make it cleaner...I also love how XFX put the logo upside down.

I see green stuff, and possibly where a pin is outright missing on the top left, apart from that nothing. I wouldn't put it past OCuk to of deliberately damaged your board. Their known for doing that too.

 

[alexp999]

There are no pins missing, what you are loking at is the alignment notches

And @ acid, dont you hate how fingerprints and dust only ever show up in photos

 

[MoonPig]

Hold on, i'll get another picture.

I think the green stuff i Feser. Which is weird as i fitted the kit before i put it on this board... and that was over two weeks ago...

Yep, I hate that...but what I hate more is this Lian Li picks up prints so much easier and faster than any other case it appears...pain in the ass.

One of your links on the front page is broken too;

Missing that "L" in there, Alex.

Fixed thanks

OcUK just send me a reply that said their in no way responsible.

Even though this clearly states they are:

[alexp999]

How can they not be responsible for a faulty product.

Its trading standards time!

 

[MoonPig]

waiting for next email.

I forgot to ask, I'm getting (what I think anyway) low scores in 3DM06 with my 4870 @ 850/1100 and my E8400 @ 4.5GHz....15500~ at default resolution, this seems low as my GTX+ used to do 17100~ with the E8400 at the same speed and I have no idea why my 4870 cant outscore it when its obviously faster.
;confused
Anyone got any ideas?


My BIOS is m2002 if you want to add it to the list, Alex.

 

[Ketxxx]

Make sure to save all correspondence you have with OCuk moon, especially that one stating they are in no way responsible. Send trading standards that and they will have a field day over it.

 

[MoonPig]

It's all in my Gmail

GTX 260 is faster (in terms of performance) than a 4870. Those scores seem bang on the button

Thats just ATi. Their phillosophy is very different to nvidias. ATi focus most of their time in giving the user real performance gains in real games, not benchmarks. Where nvidia focus quite heavily on increasing benchmark scores to make their products appear better than they actually are in real games.

 

[MoonPig]

OOOOOOoooo... Let the FanBoy war begin.

lol

No their not, OCd that 4870 should score 17k or so, maybe more. The reason it doesn't is as I said, ATi focus on gains in real games, where nvidia like to focus on benchmarks for corporate penis size reasons.

Your score is as quoted: "3DM06: 18904" Your card isn't 3500~ faster than my 4870, I think Ket's idea may be more like it though....my old GTX+ is only 1800 points behind that 260 of yours, and that's a lesser card.

We will see how fast these 4870's really are when I'm running two of them!

No fanboy, just from my own experiences from both sides. I'd see massive benchmark gains with nvidia and see very little improvement in games, where with ATi benchmarks might look low, but game performance goes up quite nicely. I know what I'd rather have

 

[aCid888*]

My e-penis suffered a 3500 point loss.

Edit: Off to bed, done an all nighter and its now 10:33am.

 

[MoonPig]

lol, nighty night.

 

[alexp999]

Any chance we could see these replies your getting from bunchOfC****UK ?

 

[MoonPig]

Only one so far:

Dear Sir,

The board has quiet clearly been damaged as such all warranty upon the board is no void, No where in the sales of goods act does it say that we much replace goods that have been damaged by the customer as such no refund or replacement will be offered.

Waiting on next one.
