I agree! I have no problem seeing dealers become obsolete. They are just a middleman adding an unnecessary cost to the already expensive vehicles IMO. With the current business model 3 different people are making money.
1. The manufacturer
2. The Salesman
3. The Dealer
By allowing them...
I have a corsair mechanical keyboard and over half of the backlights have already died in under a year. I will pass on that. I have 2 blackwidow ultimates that still have every light going strong.
I don't care who developed it as long as it works. Sure I am not a fan of most all Sony products, but that doesn't mean I won't buy a product from them if they come out with something worthwhile like a thermal paste alternative.
That one is quite simple. The less resistance to air flow the more air it can move, which equals better cooling. That is why aftermarket coolers that absolutely destroy reference coolers do so much better. They exhaust most of the heat into the case instead of trying to push it out a tiny vent.
Lol I am going to laugh if that is what it is. :p A guy on the overclock.net forums made the same mistake of not peeling the sticker off of an EVGA 580 refurb. He made a post complaining about how bad the card looked lol.
It has the same bracket that every other manufacturer on the market has. They didn't have to give anybody the bracket. So yes they are "doing everybody a favor." The initial run probably did not come with it because it was not read in time. Heck it still isn't ready considering it hasn't shipped...
They are up on Newegg! Suprisingly EVGA card is still in stock. I got mine ordered. That Surround performance on BF3 put my mind to rest that I am making the right decision.
LOL now that I think about since his article was releasing in 8 minutes from the time I posted this I can almost hear is eyes rolling from here. :D Don't judge me! The suspense is killing me!
