Dear Tom,
how many times does a man need to follow another and bump his head before he starts thinking that maybe he should find out himself ? You were a guiding light for many years if it came to computers and harware. I won't attack you on the mistake you made with the Gigabyte VRXP mainboard , that has been done too many times already. But I would like to share some comments on your great cooler revieuw with you and the readers. After carefull consideration and mostly reading your article on coolers I decided to spend a big chunk of change on the SILVERADO NOISE CONTROL cooler. This was the best cooler around especially if you didn't want a computer sounding like an Apache helicopter. After convincing my wife that I really needed this and this was the best around ( TOM SAID SO !! ) I got the fan and installed it instead of my $10 coolermaster. I fired up my XP 1700 and saw the temperature rocket up to 62 degrees celsius while my coolermaster managed to keep it at a very impressive 47 degrees celsius during this heatwave. After trying all the cables that came with it , I hooked it up on the heaviest setting straight on the MB.Yes my fans worked , yes the paste was applied good, yes I even tried with more airflow in my case, shortly put I tried everything around even using this cooler in another guys pc. And what does it do ? Less then a 10$ coolermaster !!! So I really was wondering now , do other physics apply to your laberatory then in our ( my ) home(s) ? I give up. After having enjoyed so many hours with you I'm going to wait of I get some reply's from this and after that is all dealt with I'll just kick you out of my favouriteslist with a little tear in my eyes.
Thanks it was nice as long as it lasted !!
