It goes 4 RMA on Friday. Till then I ve it out of the cabby, upside down & a 120mm apex pushing, 2 keep it cool.
Wonder how my Circle 450W will perform on this system
You bum- get a HX620. :bleh:
Will do wonders for your 'what am i gonna fry today' kinda OCing. :rofl:
Plus, you of all, don't even need to worry on the resale of your replaced new psu.
@ Supra- Dada, you always do a wonderful job of keeping everyone alerted with your posts and you have won a fan in me.
(Your logic ain't flawed but i know someone who is hated fro his logic- especially on resale value. :rofl:
Even i have posted my explanations on some sale threads (and try to practice what i preach) and am sure not many like me- especially when they are looking to sell the same. :ashamed: )
But if a GO has fair market prices, then making a post directly saying 'Don't buy' is not right too- you could have been subtle or PMed the person, esp those you care for more. :cool2:
People needing stuff urgently for work have always paid more- many got their Q6600 G0 at 13.5K- no one iirc waited for 11k price.
They have made way more in terms of projects fisnished by the time it became 11k here.
Infact people, who use their chips for work, have even bought the B3 for 25K.
Though not really the case with most new chips, esp Intel ones, one couldn't get a 0516/17 A64 3000+ then if waited for price drops na.
Esp true for the OCing community who have paid more for the best stepping to be the first to post highest numbers.
You have always waited it out and cashed in on vfm like i do.
But some are more driven by their urgency to post big numbers and by the time poor people like me afford to buy one, they are already onto the next big thing or even the next to the next. :rofl:
It's a small premium people pay for their passion when they very well know that the same thing can be had way cheaper in some time- i think even the n00biest of n00bs knows that as i know it too. :rofl:
(Like ppl bought N95 and gadgets just when they are out- i in my wildest dreams can never afford a phone that expensive.
I am even waiting for rates to fall on the cheapest Nokia i planned to buy coz it's launched recently and rates fall and stabilise by a decent amount in very short time since launch. :ashamed
I am totally against anyone milking the junta for a better stepping like some dealers who are aware of the steppings etc do (have done earlier).
But if someone wants to pay more and grab one- which has been the case of dealers/businessmen/officials going corrupt in every walk of life- as there is always someone who wants preferential treatment or quick service by paying for it- what more do we do about it but not do it ourselves and ask others to do the same.
And there are those who have bought stuff way above retail price and not felt the pich just coz it wasn't available locally- i see no one complaining about that.
I am one who really doesnt afford that and will always search on hopefully for someone to buy something for me at the retail price and carry it for me and use something for standby till i can do that. :ashamed:
And in this case- it doesn't even seem anyone is making anything extra.
As is the case with every other luxury stuff(changing h/w every 6-9 months is a huge luxury thingie imho)- prices will drop with time and i think all know 'just launched' is usually not a time to buy unless it's for personal pleasure/brag value/records.
(You think anyone will care now if i cracked 3G on air on my 3000+ now?? :rofl
