    Yay for you!

    Have fun figuring out liquid cooling, hope it's a simple process for you.

    Chris said he has a water bubble in it that hasn't worked its way out yet, making it really loud.

    not THAT loud but loud enough to be obnoxious. It almost silent now, worked itself to the top of the rad it seems.

    OMG the OS loads in 5-10 seconds including origin at startup, steam, my anti-virus, itunes, etc. ALL of them. its fucking insane

    Programs install in seconds once downloaded (like BF3). I cant BELIEVE I ever used a mechanical drive.

    Also played BF3 last night on full ultra at no less than 55-56 fps in the heavy shit. Coming from DX10, and all settings on low, it doesn't even look like the same game. the graphics are SO good. I did not even recognize some maps they look so different. I also got a shitload of more kills because I can actually see people, and Im not running 1-15 FPS w horrendous lag. I really didn't even realize how bad it was.

    CN: To anyone who ever considered an SSD, DO IT! Words can not describe the difference it makes.
