    I wouldn't want my CPU in the same loop as the GPU... especially when the GPU is a HD4870x2...

    Re: The Sapphire HD4870X2 Atomic - liquid cooling speed

    OT (sorry but this gives me an opening to get this off my chest): Why is this show back on the front page with todays date? I don't get why this happens a lot on Hexus. And also why when I check Hexus at say 4PM, then check it again at 8PM there will be news items from around 2PM, that weren't there when I checked at 4PM. Oh, and also why I get e-mails weeks later with replies to a thread I've already read? Lol.

    Anyone else find this?

    P.S Not meaning to seem like I'm slagging off Hexus, just a few things I've noticed and wanted to know if it was just me imagining things or not.

    Cheers.

    hi Chap,


    the front page re post was a clerical error on the backend - it's been resolved now.

    The reason to the delayed mails - good question can you PM me the message header please?

    Cheers

    I haven't got an e-mail right now, though I'm sure I'll get one in about a week showing me your reply lol. And as far as the repost, I can still see this on the front page showing 30th Dec as it's post date.



    Sorry if it's hard to make out, but I didn't wanna post too big a picture.

    It will carry on showing as the 30th as it was re-published yesterday. I do not have the webdev skillz to go into our database and edit it to reset the date back to the original publishing date... I do have the requisite lack of skillz to have pushed the wrong button and caused the initial problem.

    Yeah, that was it. I didn't realise that was the default option. Thanks mate.

    No problem Nick, just mentioned it because I've seen it happen before and it's frustrating when I realise that it's actually a news item I've already seen haha.

    Keep up the good work.

    Re: The Sapphire HD4870X2 Atomic - liquid cooling speed

    its a good idea, cant complain when its a single slot 4870x2 but the price was silly. just hope the future water cooled x2 cards aren't twice the price.
