Well actually, I just won a family trip to Punta Cana from Air Transat on FB... I wasn't even trying for the grand prize so I was shocked to find out I won lol. I probably won't be able to take the trip until next spring or so, but it was definitely a good motivator to get back into contesting :P  Good luck to you as well!

yeah hope you did not mind me sharing that Amanada in Canada Moment ,,, but thought it was a pretty good example of some of the fun shared in here just hanging out ...getting to know folks a bit. >>>during a contest,between giveaways, waiting for announcements etc..and of course keeping at least one person from dropping a tablet or something in bathroom.

But then again there was a least another winner in recent memory that upon reading the news of winning a HH rig ...ending up running to the bathroom !
Funny that some may recall that winner to be another <coolice>Canadian as well Surprise

Go figure Wink

Nice win Peter. I like how they included the clips to add a third fan into the mix.

This is a very well reviewed cooler. Congrats again,...........

Thanks Neil Smile

yeah that is nice that they included that . Been hearing that some folks are getting a bit more air moving around the VRM etc . as a bonus. Going to putting this Phantek cooler into my FX 8150 rig . Have a CM TPC 812 vapor chill on it now that I received from CM beta testing. Come to think of it the CM TPC 812 is no slouch for a decent priced air cooler

I have an FX-4170 CPU now and I use a NZXT Havik-140 cooler with it. This keeps my temps nice and low.

So yeah, you can get really good results with the proper Air cooling setup.
