yeah, I'm still pretty short on cash at the moment, I have been buying lots of things for the past 2 weeks, kept on adding stuff here and there, I'll see what happens with this acrylic.
I didn't really screw the fittings too tight as what a video from daz was telling me not to.. But if I really need to change, I'll get the best one next up

And now that you know what the problem is theirs no need to reseat the cpu or mess with it.
And i all ways do clean re-installs if theirs a big hardware change its it's blasphemy not to.

Ps acrylic plastic crackOmatic water blocks blow,and its just a mater or time before they crack.
mine has like 4 and its fixed with hot glue,watch out for that given time and imho the only way to go really is all copper or copper ~ brass combo for quality i mean.

yes the new sockets are unforgiving to disruptions of zillions of contacts


quality is the key not trashy bling

Just wanted to post to say I was also helped by the advice in this thread - the "HOWTO: Get Windows 7 to detect your new multi-core processor - Microsoft Answers" link on the previous page fixed my problems with getting all eight cores of an FX-8350 detected. Big thank you to all.
