How about a little bit of small talk.  :rolleyes: 

I bought three Cougar CFD120 blue LED fans once, because a few people recommended them.

So when I got them I tried them out and oh god are they loud. They move a decent amount of air, but they sounded like Gigabyte made them. 

Have you ever been disappointed by a product?

Was it so utterly garbage that you could've thrown it against the wall?

Let me know.  ;)

The Fury X was by far the biggest, steamiest and just *holds back f word* WORST component I have EVER purchased!  Hang on let me copy/paste my story 'cause I just told someone else.

Because I am young for all my build I check with someone my brothers and LTT forum and worst thing I bought was a case because I was so dumb that I had the fan that stick out of a case :lol:

I'd have to say the entirety of my original system. Oh and this H80i I don't really like it any more and its getting replaced for sure.

Your whole rig? :o   What were the specs?

Well... it was a prebuild that I slowly updated (wasn't allowed to build it). It had an i7 2600 with some Foxconn motherboard and a GTX 560 TI HAWK.

I put the damn Fury X in my LAN party case, there was nothing visibly wrong, I came back later and there was a split in the hose so some water was getting out not much, but then right before my eyes the entire tube popped out of the fitting and it went all over my system.  That was a wasted 4790k, ROG Maximus Vii Impact, Wasted dominator plats, waste GPU and wasted storage because they were all fried

The Logysis PSU that was in my first ever PC build. I didn't know much about PC building back then, and I stumbled across a barebones kit on sale on Newegg. The rest of the components were pretty decent, but that PSU lasted all of a month. The AMD APU and MSI mobo are still kicking though. I recycled most of that PC into a rig for my dad when I got my FX-8350.

Asus HD4850.

It was a good card, but I had to RMA 2 of them. And just because of the long RMA process I started to hate it.

Slightly disappointed at my case, the Corsair SPEC 03. It looks nice, I like that. However right now the front cover which I thought it would be enough to prevent too much dust is not at all enough, and the cable management is horrible with the bulge in the back working a bit but the bottom and hdd area are basically chokepoints for cables that can (and actually did) ruin cables and snap them off if not careful.

 

It's the second build I go for that has a terrible case, but it's so damn hard to find nice cases here in Mexico. It's all like really overpriced or not at all easy to get. I plan on switching to an Enthoo Pro as soon as I can.

Sounds more like a Cooler Master fail  :lol: 

But I guess you got everything replaced? Oh please tell me they replaced your stuff  :angry:

A 120GB Kingston V300. It's faster than a hard drive, but compared to other SSD's, it's garbage. Thanks for the bait and switch, Kingston.

No the motherboard was not replaced, the CPU wasn't and neither was the RAM but the PSU and Card were refunded.  Oh so the water cooler on the Fury X is made by cooler master?  Huh never knew that.

If the Mongol Horde lived to this day I'd send them to AMD to make sure that all their designs were raped, as well as their return policy!

Oh well yeah, I'm only using it for an i3 4130 (and probably a GTX 750Ti or 950 soon).
