Awesome rad. Mine is 3 years old now, cooled 4790K+980Ti, 5775C+980Ti/1080Ti, 8700K+1080Ti, and now 9900K+1080Ti. In loop with another 120mm, cools a lot of watts.

I have being using their radiators for a while and i am pretty happy with it, i owned a Black Ice Nemesis 480GTX and Black Ice Nemesis 420GTX both sold and now in my current Rig i have a Black Ice Nemesis 280GTX i bought the 360GTX because i am Rebuilding my Rig

I had to replace the thermal pads on my 1070 because the factory ones were flimsy and fell apart when I cleaned it. I took a chance with this brand I wasn't familiar with ,but they're actually very good quality.

$6.50 for the piece below.

That's a pretty big thermal pad for the money @jboydgolfer :toast:

Does it have the "peel and stick" side on it?

it is tacky, but not adhesive. its exactly what you'd want, it wont stick, but it wont fall off either....perfect for applying , and getting the shroud back on with them sliding around & falling off.

Just a quick post. I got this yesterday. Have been a long time since I bought 2nd hand things again. The last time was that Jonsbo UMX1 case I got last year. I call it buying old "trash" haha. It is sentimental treasure to me though. I got this Lian Li PC 7F for about 20 bucks. Bought it home taking the train again with this case on a foldable trolley. It remarkably light for a case this huge. First time carrying a Lian li aluminium home. I gave the case a good wash and a good scrubbing, it looks a lot better now. It had the smell of cigarettes and dust. So I immediately washed it upon reaching home. Pardon no day light pics, would take on a the coming weekend. This case is so old that I can't find the page on lian li site anymore. This case was released in 2008! Those 5.25 inch bays are now endangered species nowadays for new cases. Seeing that many bays bring me back memories. I miss 5.25 bays. More pics coming soon. Need something to fill up that missing 5.25 bay slot.

Didn't quite like the mismatched look of my PC Vega 64 Red Devil and reference RX Vega 64, so I sold off the latter and got a Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming OC. Still that mismatched look, though both used third party coolers. Wanted to get another Red Devil but couldn't find any that I could get right away, so I went for a 2nd Gigabyte RX Vega 64 Gaming Pro, now they match....now, all is alright with the world.

Personally I think I've overspeced and would of been fine with the cheaper 8inch version. In fact the whole thing is a bit of an exercise in wasting money tbf. The yamaha was secondhand though for £100 the sub cost me significantly more than that and I bought the sub new

sam_86314 · Dec 4, 2018

Well, the heat sink arrived and I was all ready to do a temperature comparison...

..until I tried to install it and it didn't fit. I looked and noticed the heat sink seemed too thick. I specifically ordered the 2mm thick one as you can see.

The coin in the next picture is 2mm thick, and you can clearly see the heat sink is thicker.

Gonna try and return it for a refund since they sold out. We'll see how that goes.

mine sits in a small'ish room in an apartment, so if you thought it was overspec'd in your case, think again :laugh:

How much did you pay for yours?

the sub was £160 off amazon. I looked on ebay and was watching a pre-owned one but bidding ended at £130 which is pointless at that stage I get free delivery and full warranty for the extra £30 so why the hell not amazon? I was also looking at Yamaha subs but those didnt have as many reviews or 'tweakability' as the wharfedale. I ebay searched other subs but nothing really caught my eye and most of those available just seemed like really old and battered ones or ones for cars. I probably could of looked a little harder.

....totally random stuff from all over

Only the mouse came from newegg. The Dierya mechanical blue tooth 63 key keyboard, logitech remote were both new but from offer up. I got 2 ...560'tis for $20 bucks...because $20 bucks.

....I did it again. Last build I was putting together, I discovered that I had power supply boxes but didn't have power supplies so....

For the next two builds bronze is all that's needed.

I bought a calculator.

It weighs several pounds and it works quite well.

AsRock · Dec 6, 2018

And looks like it will last forever too P

Liviu Cojocaru · Dec 6, 2018

I have bought a new headset, Steel Series Arctis 7, as the previous one was kind of uncomfortable and I got myself an early Christmas present the Huawei Mate 20 Pro

Komshija · Dec 8, 2018

I bought stickers. Again. Xeon sticker is going to the back of my smartphone because it has a true octa-core CPU, so C2X or i7's aren't suitable.
