11/3 only! Rosewill 92mm heatpipe universal CPU cooler $13.50 AC FS

That's what I tried, but the black tabs kept snapping. Demolished half the ones on my stock heatsink before saying screw it and buying the xigmatek one. That actually has a backplate and spring loaded screws. It arrived today and looks pretty good. Thanks for your help with those, though, dude.

11/3 only! Rosewill 92mm heatpipe universal CPU cooler $13.50 AC FS

I have a stock heatsink with pushpins, but it seems like the only way to remove them once they are installed is to either break them, or break the stock heatsink around the pushpins. There's two tabs on the black part that lock into the white part, and they snap if you try to pry them apart.

11/3 only! Rosewill 92mm heatpipe universal CPU cooler $13.50 AC FS

Got mine, and one of the stupid pushpins broke when installing it. Doesn't seem to be a way to replace them either. So I ordered the $8 AMIR Xigmatek dark knight that was on the Newegg deals a few days ago. Still cheaper than buying a Hyper 212, and now I have a useless paperweight.

Jumped on it. Going to replace the stocker on my i3-2105. Thanks for the heads up. BTW - you wouldn't happen to be Zap Wizard, of PC modding renown ~8-9 years ago, would you?

Limited time Left. 2 QUALITY HDMI's shpd for $13

Oh, I certainly agree. I use all monoprice too, and even have a 50 foot run of their heavier gauge HDMI with no problems. I just want to dispel the notion that digital signals are absolutely immune to any noise, interference, crosstalk, etc. caused by improper cabling. They need proper...

Limited time Left. 2 QUALITY HDMI's shpd for $13

Let's talk. The signal can get really distorted. The cables need to be shielded or use twisted pair construction to reduce noise, and they all have to be the same length to avoid timing issues, as well as be the correct impedance. Any cable that meets HDMI specifications has those things, and...

DEAD - Famous Maker 23 LED Monitor $135 shipped (refurb)

My laptop is 1920x1200 ;) I think the 16:10 fanboys go overboard. I'm 1920x1200 on both my desktop and laptop, and while I certainly prefer it over 1920x1080, you need to be realistic. 1920x1200 is obviously on the way out for consumer monitors. 1080p is cheaper to make and allows them to...

64GB kingston v100 $60 AR

Picked this up when it was like $65AR about a month ago on Newegg. So far, so good. I have it in my laptop, which I don't game on much, and it does exactly what I wanted it to - boot up and shut down very quickly, and be ready to go as soon as it hits the desktop. With the mechanical drive, it...

Team Fortress 2 - **FREE FOREVER** on Steam!

That's a good deal. I'm excited to see what new stuff the updates brought /* begin ranting about how this game "used to be fun", how you bought it when it first came out, how Valve ruined it with all the items, how Valve ruined it with all the hats, how Valve ruined it with the item store, how...

IBM X335 Dual P4 Xeon 2.0GHz, 4GB RAM, 2x36GB HDDs, 1U Server $99 + Shipping

in terms of performance, this would beat out a dual core Atom, but not by a huge margin. Roughly 20%, by any benchmarks I've seen. And you're easily looking at 5x the power consumption. Yeah, noise won't matter much if it's in the basement, but power consumption will, especially if you will...

(DEAD)NE Shellshocker: G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600 1.5v $64 FS w/ 15% code

I have a set of the Ripjaws 2x4GB DDR3-1333 sticks from November, and they have green PCBs. I have another set, same model number, from January, and they have black PCBs. Not sure what the difference is, just pointing out that the newer regular red Ripjaws (non-X) might have black PCBs.

1TB Samsung F3 HD103SJ 54.99 Shipped

Their web/e-mail support is nonexistent for hard drives. I got crap from samsung's websites, but they put me in touch with "Total Tech Solutions" which is their HDD factory service center. Called those guys, had RMA # immediately, and had a brand new drive within 2 weeks. Number was...

Seasonic X750 Gold - $129 shipped

I ordered this, then cancelled. NE let me cancel it online. There is a Corsair AX850 Hot Deal. It's $183, minus 10% off is $165 shipped, then a $20 MIR for $145 total. $15 buys you a hundred more watts, and (IMO) nicer sleeved cables. I've seriously been looking for AX850 deals for like a...

Newegg - $25 off $100 for New Customers

Damn. I spotted the 64GB SSD like 4 hours ago but I didn't get a chance to buy it. Way hot deal for those who did get it.

Dynex DX-46L150A11 46" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV: $499.99

Agreed. I used to work at Circuit City when it was still in business, and there would be far more returns of the cheap brand TVs than the top names. By my guess, 75% of the TVs returned were either Vizio or Olevia. However, there were too many other variables to draw a statistically...

They're baaack, check your email for coupons.

Maybe it's a hard drive thing. I got them for buying a 2TB Hitachi. Some decent stuff (10% off RAM could be decent if you can find a set that's already on sale), but nothing particularly special IMO. Of course, I'm also in a Newegg sales tax state, so the 10% mostly goes to offsetting sales tax.
