TCWO.com is the worst f'skin company ever.
The bastards falsely advertised a heatsink as "up to 1.5ghz" when it was actually rated "up to 1.2 ghz" When I emailed them a month or two later, they blatantly refused to do anything. I have heard several other horror stories.
Avoid these idiots like the plague.

Well, I don't know where the hell johnyguru was when the customer service rep refused to exchange the HSF.
I paid $15 or $20 extra from a AMD OEM fan (for a 1.4ghz). I told him I was getting 55*C on my 1.4ghz T-bird at IDLE! (I wouldn't even dare overclock it[/b].)
You know what rep says? "That's nothing! I have a box that runs around those temps just fine!"
What a bunch of crock. The point was I spent almost $20 extra on a "UPGRADED HEATSINK +FAN!"

What kind of fan was it? The 1.4 did run hot.

He posted in wrong forums. Bitched a whole lot. Part of his bitching is still in the ~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~ thread.

STiSev should get what he paid for. Hey, he paid that price, no reason he should settle for something else.
Second off,Originally posted by: SonicTron :disgust:55 degrees celsius is nothing incredibly high. Even for an "upgraded hs/fan." Crock? Please.
I've seen newegg make mistakes in descriptions like this and it's a vendor we all swear by here.
Back to the point, TCWO rocks and STiSev's talking sh1t about them.

STiStev- check the datasheets straight from ThermalTake's site, you got exactly what you paid for:

Where did you see the 1.2Ghz figure? If it was on the box, it's possible the box was printed when the fastest Athlon was 1.2Ghz so it was only rated for that speed, but once higher speeds came out the HSF was rated for the higher speed CPUs.
