Post » Fri Dec 31, 2010 5:45 am

How many RMAs can I do? Are they unlimited?
I just bought on Ebay some IC Diamond 24 Carat. It's the easiest stuff to apply. I'll post back results after i've used it.

its the hardest TC to apply,its like a damn rock! i know beacuse i bougth some and use it in my i7.

however it was the best TC i've ever used,just tooooooo expensive.i just dont know if the presure of the heatsink will be enough to spread the TC correctly in the gpu.

i mean,you dont know how thick this thing is. its just awesome!

well,i cant wait either,you'll see

just renember to clean the heatsink too,dust can be a gpu killer

Oh yeah, way toooooo expensive, especially for a jobless guy like meh.

How much of it should I use? I was gonna put a big blob right in the center like what this guy did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlO6Gx7Uf6g

That’s good news because it's exactly the system I am planning to get. (2600K GTX 460 1Gb (SLI) 6GB RAM) Ad first I was thinking on using just one GTX 460 1GB but I already came to the conclusion that for Crysis 2 @ high that would not do it.
(It's also the same system the testers used for Crysis 2 use)

BTW the GTX 460 1GB SLI is not always faster as a GTX 580. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2118943 but at the more critical point, (heavy games) the GTX 460 SLI seems to take a lead. I personally think a GTX 560 570 and 580 are just to expensive for what you get comparing it to the price and performance (and technology) of the GTX 460.

I want to wait for the demo before really making my decision. I'm also not sure about the case and the screen.
As case I would like to get the Thermaltake Armor + (VH6000BWS) buts it expensive. And for the screen i'm not yet sure if i should go for 3D. I don't like the whole TFT stuff. Can't wait for OLED so I don't want to spend to much on it but 3D is very cool. I also like a 1920 X 1200 resolution but they are selling those less and less it's all becoming the damned 1920 X 1080 resolution.
