lets see..
i dont think i have a microcenter anywhere near me. there's one in dallas, but i swore never to step foot there again (got thrown in the pokey there for a few hours).
so, thats out. appreciate the offer, though.
probably what will happen to me is that i will sell this one, buy another from the egg, and get one with a higher VID or that REALLY is a dud lol. just my luck.
this one does ok i guess. right now i have it at 3.2 and it is loaded at 60*C
i guess i was just expecting to get one and POW it would hit 3.6-3.8 immediately. lol, not the case unfortunately.
water kit was the swiftech compact apogee that is 200 on the egg. yes i know custom built is better, but i am a no0b. and i dont want to spend 300 bucks.
or, i could get a q6700. that would only cost me 75 bucks.
