I am kind of fed up with Newegg at this point. I was thinking of trying overclocking on my Celeron 330 D so I decided to get a new heatsink and fan. Keep in mind that I am on an eMachine that I got for $199.99 WITH a 17 inch monitor brand new... so you can imagine the stock parts are nothing great. Anyways, I used the search on Newegg to find a good HS, I sorted them by user rating at the average rating was 5/5 eggs and had 13 user reviews that all sounded pretty good. So I went ahead and bought it, I couldnt wait for it to come and be installed with the new Arctic Silver 5 that I bought off of eBay because its a ripoff on Newegg.
So... 2 days after I place my order I go to xoxide.com and see they have the same heatsink that I had just bought off of Newegg for LESS THAN 1/3 of the price! So I wasnt too happy about that. Second, I put on the new HS/fan and my CPU temps went up from 48C to 62C! Thats rediculous! A stock HS/fan that came on a system this cheap was beating the crap out of my new one.
I switched back to my stock to make sure I didnt mess up one of the censors or something when I installed the new HS and sure enough my temps went back down to 48C. Not an error... just a piece of crap from newegg.
I also now know why all of the user ratings are so good on that site... if its negative at all they dont let you post it!
I have tried and modified multiple reviews and they have all been denied.
What a joke. If I decide to build a system, Newegg wont get any of my business unless they have some unbelievable deal. But their prices don't seem that great at all anyways.
