I moved my case around and the rad as well for about 10 min with no change in temps and that's how it's plugged in now it's running at around 4600 rpm. My friend said he'd take back the H60 and I orderd the 212 earlier today. Thanks though.

Sorry to kinda hijack the thread but how would you rate the 212? My AIO craped out on me and I'm thinking of making the switch. Thanks

You think that's the best idea? my friend said that he would be willing to take the cooler back if it's not working for me.

Thanks, when the new paste gets here I will try the different mounting direction and see if that helps.

My old Antec AIO finaly gave out on me and I purchased a corsair H60 from a friend who upgraded to a H100i, I put on the cooler and quickly noticed that I was pushing temps of 66 Celsius at idle and around 85 at full load, some quick googling lead me to the conclusion that I had applied the paste wrong, I removed the paste re-applied after looking at some more guides and i'm sure that there is ample paste and I screwed the CPU plate a bit tighter but there was only a slight difference and I was still pushing 58 degrees at idle, 61-62 with a few chrome tabs open and about the same at load, I added an extra fan to the rad and still saw minuscule difference. That brings me to the thermal paste, the paste I used was cheapo nexxtech heat sink compound stuff because it was the only thing I could get in my town because i'm kinda out in the boonies, I've ordered some Arctic silver 5 from amazon and I'm hoping this will bring the temps down. I can feel the pump working so i'm pretty sure the cooler is not the problem. I'm fairly sure the paste is the problem is the paste but I would like a second opinion. thanks

the title says it all I'm looking for a good TKL keyboard with MX Blues, I love the look of the K65 but it's only offered in reds. Any suggestions? I'm new when it comes to keyboards and any help is awesome. Thanks.

What are the differences between these cards? I am shopping for a non LE version but the only one I can find is used, although under MSI warranty, but newegg has the LE version for slightly less than the used one. Should I go with the used over a new LE? What's the difference? Any help is awesome. Thanks.

Thanks everyone for all the replies, I have decided to go with the MSI Lightning card as the Vapor X is slightly out of my price range. Thanks for all of the help.

Recently my two or so year old Gtx 670 died, leaving me with no card. And after some window shopping, I've narrowed it down to a R9 290x, that brings me to my problem. Who makes the best 290x? I was looking at a MSI Lightning card but it's out of stock most places and I've seen some mixed reviews, so what's the best 290x in your opinion? Thanks.
