The Official I just "Got" Thread

[realneil]

I was on the front porch talking to my daughter one day last summer. We were discussing her shipping me a Kindle that she wasn't using anymore, from her house in Ohio. She was gonna use FedEx and I told her "No don't use FedEx because they're always damaging boxes or just driving by the house and not delivering the package at all! At least the UPS guys put the packages on the porch by the door without destroying them!"

What do you know?,.......

I felt someone looking at me turned around,.....the FedEx guy was standing there with a box for me, signature required. I signed for the box and told him that Karma was a bitch. He laughed.
Since then, better package handling from FedEx.

Go figure,.....

There's only maybe 6500 - 6800 people living in Punxsy, and I di know my two FedEx and my UPS driver the problem has to do with his replacement drivers on his days off, or when his son's sick. He's a single dad and has custody of his son, I did see him at the gas station earlier that day and he was with his kids, so I know he didn't make the deliverey, one of the other clowns did.

At least the XFX HD7950 DD's, a pair of the new Kingston SSD Now V+ 200 / 120GB Sata III Drives with a Performance Upgrade Kit, and finally, 8 / Noctua NF-F12 PWM fans to be used on the Thermochill TA120.4 for our upcoming 120mm fan review, all arrived in decent shape.

So, you and I both got those 120mm Cougar Vortex PWM Fans recently. How do you like yours?

If the sender didn't mark it down "signature required" then they can't deliver it. But knock on wood, I haven't has a bad experience yet.

Wow, really looking forward to the review. Those 7950 are like works of art. Totally awesome!

Actually I have been using mine for a little over 40 trouble free days. I'm going to try to get them to send 4-8 for our round up, but if they turn us down I'll just buy them. Besides Noctua, SilenX, and Kingwin, I'll be asking Aquatuning to send us one of their 8 fan kits, not sure who else yet, but I'm open to suggestions.

Here are my suggestions:

These fans in particular are very interesting: http://www.aquatuning.us/product_info.php/info/p11634_Phobya-Nano-2G-12-PWM-Silent-1500rpm-Red-LED-Double-Blade---120x120x25mm--.html

I'd also like to see the fans tested on a fan controller. My CM SickleFlow 120's sound terrible on any speed less than 100% on a fan controller (I've tried two different models). I think it's because they aren't designed for PWM control, but I'm curious to see if other fans have this issue. I really like the looks of the Phobya fans so may replace the SickleFlows with those if they review well.

Anyway, those are my thoughts.

Ive got some of the older Phoyba fans and they are nice not a minutes problem in over a year.... the blades come off for easy cleaning while being mounted in the case here is a review I did on them http://thessdreview.com/Forums/cases/261.htm#post1486
Waiting on the UPS man to bring Prolimatech PRO-RV14LED 140mm Red LED http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835242012

[SamCR3]

Thanks for posting the review. Confirms what I was thinking about these fans. May get a couple in the near future, but have other items on my agenda right now (SSD!). My SickleFlow's work fine for now.

Well I have to admit the cards are fast, faster than what I was expecting for a 7950, I'll have to post some benchmarks later this week.

Like others, I really like the look of these cards. That they're fast is an added bonus!

[Doctor_Death]

Yup, sweet looking and fast is always a great mix!
