Let me show you some pics before i finish the first results.

The holes are same like the previous ati models so you can use your old waterblock for example

First benches will be up in a few hours

hehe

Well my partner works in a big IT company here in greece and when a new product comes he gives it to me for review

By the way i have a computer shop and an eshop my self

so as you understand my job has to do with a lot of hardware.
Also i got some hardware from pc magazines for testing or reviewing

Tell me some well known magazines in ireland. I want to be ready when i come there.

There are none. The irish pc magizines are useless. The only ones in the uk worth buying ( which you can buy here ) are custompc and pcformat.

And even they're terrible.

Custom PC are very good...

Maybe they don't eat graphics cards for breakfast like you, but they are a decent magazine up to the standards of most of us mere mortals :rolleyes:

Clearly;) Listen shut the **** up about me being so pro already k?

Custom are NOOBs face the facts.. They main thing they do that pisses me off though is mislead people! They recently changed test processors and suprise suprise.... Every board used to do 510...now they all do 535.. CPU fsb wall much? NAH! They put it down to all motherboards being the same:mad:
Their ram test from like 6 months ago?? they got pretty much every kit to 1130 and no more... all ram is the same too I guess? YUP..

There are also other things they have wrong..like the new DELL 24'' being £460 when it was closer to €450 at the time they went to print. I could go on..

CPC are slightly noobish, but not too bad and the mag is always a decent read.
