He used a Celly e1400 with the Stock Cooler...

He still has to push

As Ricanflow said on Xfire yesterday
" I felt that I almost broke the freaking board"

 

[Puddle Jumper]

My experience with the push pins has gone both ways. I had no problem mounting the stock cooler and my AC Freezer 7 Pro wasn't to bad either. On the other hand when I was helping zmatt with his new build it took us forever to get the cooler for his e7200 mounted right.

I have found that putting a piece of hard foam under the socket area of the board is the best way to avoid bending the motherboard when you push the pins in.

Performance isnt always the issue.

Theres many other factors involved, such as drivers, looks, and warranty.

I am by no means a fanboy, but i prefer Nvidia and XFX cards


If i were looking for the best price/performance, then of course an ATI card would be the best choice.

I'm sorry what?

Ya, I also like xfx for the black pcb. I don't exactly like the ATI red pcb....

Life time warranty... pfft, how long does it take for a video card to go out of date and be no more then a paper weight? Hardly a lifetime.

But theya re good on the "removing the heatsink doesn't void it" and I think they support volt moding also.
