well then i disagree with you cavey, but we wont fight over a cooling system lol the noctua outperform the V70. but yea the v70 is a sexy cheap solution (but more expensive than the best of all: the noctua, nah !) and looking at gamers tech forums, im not the only one thinking the same: http://www.kitguru.net/components/cooling/zardon/corsair-h70-review-versus-vantage-nh-d14-4-53ghz/ http://www.overclock.net/air-cooling/806603-noctua-nh-d14-vs-corsair-h70-2.html http://forums.techpowerup.com/showthread.php?p=2034416

lol i know sorry couldnt resist

k that was for the fun now i like small sexy tatoos for my part, something like these:

lmao nice poor warster

i prefer earth food

Cavey Personally if money is an issue go for AMD.. You get more for your money. Simple. I disagree with CHKN, in this day and age you don't need to know anything about liquid cooling to buy and install one. I just bought the Corsair H70, it is a completely seeled unit. When it comes, simply take it out the box, screw the fans and radiator to the case. Plug in the fan power leads, and screw down the heat exchange onto the processor. 20 mintue job. Cost is about $135, but you can get it cheaper in the States. You would need a big case, but if your case is small then get it's smaller brother the H50. u dont disagree with me, and i dont disagree with you. fact is and u cant deny, a good heatsink+fan is better than your 'cheap' cooling system. i dont say its bad, or hard to install, but its more expensive and not as much effective. or u have to get a real liquid system, and thats not the same price and not easy to install. a noctua keep the cpu cooler than a h70 and it also spread air of the whole case better than a cooling system, so it cool down other parts too. the only way to get that efficiency is to get everything under liquid system, but that means it will cost a lot. u'll have to get a liquid system for the video card too

u'll get cooler with a liquid system than with the stock intel fan for sure. im just saying as u can see on this chart, that most liquid system dont equals good heatsink+fans

they all cheap liquid solution, it may work jsut fine, just dont expect it to be better than a good heatsink+fan. now for the rest, the one with evga motherboard and i7 look to me better than the others, but i dont know latest amd system that much. all i know is that i7 875 is just fucking nice i have the 870 2.93GHz, cant be more happy, i run it at 3.3GHz, its stable, cool and quiet

i think liquid cooling can be good only if u know exactly what ur doing and u have the right parts, meaning it can cost a lot. of course there is cheap liquid solutions, but honestly its nothing but a cheap solution. i have a Noctua NH-D14 (not sure of the exact model), and let me tell you its a beast, its build like a tank, its enormous, but i never saw a system that cool. i mean the air that comes out of the case is way cooler than ambient air, its crazy. but its so big that u have to be sure the case can accept it, that it wont get in the way with ram slots,... here a pic i found of it hmm seems i cant post a pic no more, nvm well that i7 system seems like a good deal, u cant go wrong with that i7, i would go that way if i were you. not that i dont like amd, but the i7 is awesome. and that liquid system u posted is one of the cheap solution i was talking about, its useless

lol i managed to kill myself that way, and i also killed genesis the same way, but i warned him dang it those care package is a nice addition to cod, love em

they not detectable by punkbuster because punkbuster do not work in this game, they use VAC (valve anti-cheat) from what i heard, vac did ban a few people, but yea they surely got a lot of work lets see how it goes

what a sad day, dont know what to say, You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers

may i suggest NY ? that way even us european old farts can get a decent ping that would be wonderfull

i'll play more cod4 as its a real game compared to the mess that BO is.

omfg we want computer porn

wow nice one

happy bday guyz

i hear ya roguekill, this game is pissing me off too and lately there is a lag that delay everything u see, but i got high fps and low ping. then when u check other people's ping u see the server is acting weird, like people below 50ping are all 49, then between 50 and 100 everyone is 99, etc,.. anyway, thats another problem; but yea i feel the same, im pissed, and im almost sure they wont change it to be the game of the century, thats for sure. they may fix one or 2 stuffs, but cmon, there are so many flaws. and on the other hand they put so many new stuffs in this game that i find interresting. not sure what to do, but guess we have to wait a few weeks, and maybe for xmass we'll be able to play decently. and yea waiting for mods badly

yep and there is a weird lag even if ur ping is normal.

lol nice one cheese

hahaha u have to defrost the turkey!

ok dont know if u guyz tried that tomahawk weapon, i did and couldnt hit shit with it, but it seems it work for some people look at this

happy bday mr wildthing, all the best

lmao at that elf vid

killgirl's new signature makes me thinking about this winter_crash map or whatever its called. can we have it in rotation soon ? it started to get cold here, and even snow will be there tomorrow it would fit nicely what u think ?
