warm? Dragon Orb 3 w/free Artic Silver II

[skiersteve]

First attempt at a hot deal, dont hurt me...

Just picked up Dragon Orb 3 for $27.99 and got Artic silver for free from www.thermalmasters.com, came to $35.99 shipped to NJ. I priced the same thing from newegg, and it came to $45. Decent deal?

really good deal dude, but I have the dragon orb 3 (the one with the cop-pe base), and the thing sucks...it's super duper freaking (and all the other expletives that I can think of) loud!!!! and if you read the anand's reviews, i think it comes in at the bottom ranking of all the hsfs.

looks really cool though heh.

how do i remove a cpu from the motherboard once the socket release lever stops working? (the lever itself isnt broken, but when i release the lever, the socket itself wont let go). i'm pretty sure my golden gate 38 broke the socket becuz i had to bend inward the clip on the golden gate just to make it stay on the socket.
