lol notice how 95% of the threads in this deal section are on SSDs. I think all are posted by onetreehill.

Why would the problem all of a sudden be gone? I doubt the few minority complaints from a niche market will affect intel's manufacturing process. Keep in mind that most of the chips they sell are to...

haha I think you read it too fast. One core was at 98°C before mod, now it's at 58°C, that's 40°C difference. But the average of all cores before and after mod was a 20°C lower.

Just did mine, 40°C lower on one of the cores :eek:. If I average temps from all cores before and after the mod, then it's 79.25°C before IHS removal, and 59°C after IHS removal. That's still 20°C...

Thanks for the results ZoLKoRn. 10C difference between "normal" TIM and Liquid Ultra is actually pretty significant, considering the difference between the best air cooler and a mediocre air cooler...

What's the best method to apply the TIM between the IHS and the die? I'm assuming 2 drops (since the die is rectangular) of TIM on the bare die, and let it auto-spread when the IHS is clamped back on?

These deals come up so often that I think it's the normal price now. Samsung 830 256gb SSD for $195 shipped, just press on the coupon button to save $45.

How is 80C even considered hot? I ran my gtx295 for several months 24/7 at 105C doing gpu crunching for gpugrid, knowing that it's a suicide run but somehow the video is still perfectly fine lol. I...

:toast:

Wait is this a typo? First you mentioned USA only and you're pushing for international. Now international only and no US?

I just got a 128gb samsung 830 SSD, but the motherboard only has sata2. I know sata3 advantage is an increase in max transfer rate, which I don't really care about. However, will the 4k read/write...

LLiH, sc2 is not very hardware demanding at moderate levels. But setting it on ultra I believe will get you lab in huge battles no matter what hardware you have. Keep in mind that RTS games are...

In the video, I'm watching that blade and PcCI2iminal's fingers as he's slicing through the IC, thinking: "oh gawd I hope that blade just doesn't slip or snap". That could go right into your...

SC2 is not dependent on heavy multi threading, or processor speed above 3ghz. It's hardly even GPU demanding. At the 5ghz range, 3770k will run hotter, but it's also a tad faster than the 2700k clock...

Ok so launch day was today, how long does it take to hit the shelves?

How does this compare to a Samsung 830 or Crucial M4?

Aww bummer, now shows $105 after MIR. Wished I would have seen this earlier, that's a pretty insane deal for a 120gb drive. $105 is still not too bad, but not as great as $70.

Looks like they will release the Ivy Bridge i3 in a few days on June 24, any words on clocks or price of these new chips? I need one really soon, not sure if it'll be below $100 though. The...

Intel reliability, SATA 3, at a low price :)

Intel 330 60gb SSD $50 shipped AR
Intel 330 180gb SSD $130 shipped AR

Amazon is a sneaky one. A few hours ago, I checked right before posting this and it was at $125. It seems like every time a retailer drops their price way down, amazon also temporarily does the same...

These crucial M4's has been dropping in price a lot recently. Just look at all the past deals threads in this section, several are specifically for these crucial M4's. I think this is the lowest I've...

Hmm I think I'd pay a little more for a more reputable SSD.

Wow it was offline for quite a while huh? What was wrong with it? Hardware related?

Benching with HDtune doesn't do much. It only shows sustained transfer speeds, which is only good for copying larges files that are at least a few gigs.

Crazy low prices, both $200 for the Crucial M4 256gb at newegg and amazon:
