    Spannerhands got a reaction from Unhelpful in Price of silicon wafer rising sharply   
    In the production market today there has been a massive increase in the cost of recycled and kraft papers (single wall packaging) & corrugated products (Boxes) due to a Far East paper shortage. Does not make the news, but making a much larger impact.

    Well its not really "pretty bad" is it... Scores inside top 10 best world record on cinebench with no optimisation brand new computer architecture fresh out of the box...  I would say that's pretty good...

    Spannerhands got a reaction from Bajantechnician in FX9590 Project Cool Down   
    Needed a new cooling solution for my FX9590 (bought for £299) so don’t flame me for buying one…

    Anyway, the FX9590 having a 220W TDP overclocking it sort of maxed out the H100i abilities and made everyday operation of computer a bit loud, as fan often went to max during only light load, and with that any hopes or aspirations of overclocking the FX9590 was dashed…

    So I decided to do a bit of an overkill solution and here are the results…

    Hope you like…

    Its on air now with standard reference leaf blower, but I mod'ed the block on my CNC myself, think AMD should contact me next time as I have done a much better job of the thermal contact areas LOL...
