You talk like the cop from dumb and dumber that drinks the piss

[lundells1]

@unlockthepower TIC TAC Sir??

[TheSuperiorAce]

Do you still have that rubber grommet (did I spell that right?) that the cpu was shipped with? I threw mine away and need to find one as I'm selling my cpu...or is it ok to ship without the rubber pad?

[lundells1]

@TheSuperiorAce Id'e put it in a Hard Drive static bag and ship it!!!

[unlockthepower]

@lundells1 :-) Pullover! No it's a cardigan but thanks for noticing.

@bearbassett get the coolermaster 212 for 30bucks

best thing to do

[bearbassett]

for the intel i7 dose it matter what kind of cooler you get. are some better that others? and how do you tell which is better?

[AnArousedPanda]

@betaboon2 for NOW intel is better all around. core i5 2500k smokes all the Phenom's ii x4 &x6

I can get a decent mobo and core i5 for a cheap 280, because the i5 on sale here for 179 bucks. Id go with Intel any day but if im on a budget, then AMD would better suit my needs. Not to sound like an Intel Fanboy, i was thinking about getting Amd on my next build, BUT its cheaper for me to get intel core i5 with a decent mobo for 80-100 bucks. Thank god for microcenter! :]]
