I was looking for the Vendetta 2 but couldn't find it in stock, so I opted for the Xigmatek S1283. It knocked 20c off of my load temp on a Q6600 @ 3G with the stock cooler. Here's one site with reviews of these two and others (TRUE, etc...).

They used the same...
I use a Xigmatek S1823 cooler on my Q6600. Highly recommended. I was using the stock cooler and at 2.8 G @ 1.3v it was cooking along at 70c running Prime95. Now with the S1283 and at 3.0, the max temp is 50c. I couldn't break 2.8 with the stock cooler.
I ordered the Patriot 2x1GB 2-3-2-5 set on 8/1 for $199. The order sat in a backorder state until 8/19. Received the RAM from them and popped it into my system. (Previously I had PQI Turbo TCCD 2x512 at 210 2-2-2-5.) This stuff runs as advertized and has 2-3-2-5 as the SPD value. I haven't...
Idle temp on mine is 57C with ambient 41C. Load shows about 74C while playing BF2.
I installed RivaTuner and it has a great tool to show ya temperature history.
I've overclocked mine to 400 / 1100 though. I'm sure that add some heat. It only takes about 1 or 2 minutes to cool down from...
Add me to the working column. At least so far...
I received a retail box with all cables and games included. The box was a little beat up and it appears as though thes box was returned at some point. The card was clean and shows no sign of wear. The AGP connector did not show any...
As far as I can tell, great deal for TCCD RAM. The other PQI pc3200 TCCD set is $249.

Maybe not the best TCCD available, but at 117 for a Gig!

Anyone willing to post their experiences with this router? I'm looking at this one or the Linksys WRT54G. I saw that the internals of the two are very similar...
Anyone have experience with the 25 pack or 50 pack via mail order? (There are no local PC Club stores here in Pennsylvania.)
I'd really love to get ahold of a couple 50 packs if they are 2x. $90.98 incl shipping ain't shabby at all for 2x media.
Just got back from hauling my butt over to BJ's and scored one of those Panasonic NiMH packs. Excellent deal. The $5 rebate for this only states it must be submitted within 4 weeks of purchase.
Better than getting the 1600 Powerex's and the fast charger combo at Thomas. Would have been $41...
