MC462-A Contest
 

Some time ago I paid 130€ for this heatsink. Since I no longer have an AMD system I'm giving this baby away. Best of all is.. it has NEVER been used. So it is in perfect condition.

All you have to do is Sign up @ the forums and leave 1 post in this thread, telling me why you earn it.

Contests ends end this week (1 november 2002 @ midnight) and the winner will be made public shortly after.

Because I like the flashy colors and pointy objects :-)

:o
I need a back-up for my "pro" self made watercooling ;)

You should give it to me because it has a very cool look and because i really need better cooling :)

i wanna kill some capacitators on my mobo :)
that's why i need it

cause my cpu is getting so hot that my mom is sunbathing next to my computer , bwek!

Because I bought too much recently and can't buy a decent HS :(
+ I'm not a designman so I can never win those drawing-contests :/
+ my dual MP CPUs get much too hot (50°C+, room temp 20°C, with alot of casecooling in a Chieftec case. The server will be moved into a much warmer room, so the CPUs need better HS (now: std HS). But buying 2 decent HS like this one in the contest would cost me alot of €€€

Why should you give it to me ?

Well, first of all, I am a very very very nice guy with a little money and money can be spent on beer when I meet you again (bad luck I only saw you once at M²).

Secondly, ALPHA heatsinks kinda like me.
I've built two computers recently for my aunt, she went to Forcom with it (broken CD-RW) and the guys at Forcom said they never saw a ALPHA heatsink installed that good before.
So, I think my own Palliet0r deserves to be equiped with this heatsink.

The third reason why I should win it is because I didn't win anything from you yet. I've won a Radeon 7500 from calantak, which was very nice.

Number four is that I if I win this heatsink, I could give my own Volcano 7 away in a contest (when I have one of my brilliant ideas for a good contest).

The fifth reason is pretty 'duh'-like : my Volcano 7 is a VERY GOOD cooler, but it's too loud. Darn.

Also a reason (6) is that my father would stop laughing with my loudly working computer.

And to end (yeah yeah, normally one rests at the seventh day of a creation), I have a very cute smile :


-mod- : little misunderstanding, it's NOT an ALPHA, but that doesn't change a bit.

well, i just bought an alpha from w0lfje, so i shouldn't win this one at all.
but i might as well give it a shot.
*kablam*

Because I like to walk around for a bit with 2 pounds of uncleansed copper and alu in my pants when I go to school, it keeps my mind clear and keeps me awake by freezing my bumm off. (damn those cold, windy days)

Also I think it's very macho-like to walk around with a big-*** heatsink tucked in your pants, because it'll also make my wee-wee look bigger.

And of course because you're all great underneath them sheets, especially when the promethia of calantak is participating in our five-some of [H]-dudes to cool us down a bit when it's getting a little too steamy in there.

For a final reason, i'll just tell you that I need a decent cooler to cool my upcoming 2400+ that certainly won't be cool at all, I you catch my drift. First of all I thought about the nice Thermalright AX7, but that sweety will cost me about 40 euro's, and I'm just 'another poor guy', being stuck with Durons for the past 2 years. So if u'd plz, I'll be greatful. :-)

(Next m² I'll maybe spending the €5 bancnote my grandmother gave me on some fluids that contain a certain flamable ingredient that's makes you partially become a delta fan (?) imo)

Btw, I can't compete with sloef's pic, so I'll have to do without any and I hope that will suffit.

You shouldn't give it to me, cuz I didn't do much on this forum yet .. newayz, I hate it allwayz buying nice stuff, and then afterwardz coming to think of it, it's a nice landing strip for an f-16.

And when I look at the temps, the only thing you have to do is put on sunglasses and put on some groovy muzix and you could think you're in hawai.
Damn I hate bad coolerz! :(

Mayb I deserve it, because right now my system is running quite hot. So if I have a better cooler, then I can push the max. out of my system en get an even higher 3d-mark score.

because I :love: madshrimps as an overclockersforum?

pss... don't give it to me, i will weld plates to it and use it als an extreme waterblock ;)

Unlike the rest of em', I don't need it. I have a heatsink. However, I'm always willing to upgrade. Besides, it would just be cool to win something.

-Zero

P.S. Quest for Glory rocks.

i'm currently looking for a cheap AMD mobo+XP (SDR now, upgrade to DDR later)

it would be great to enter the AMD world having such a swiftech on my side:o

Because you don't know /me :^D

Guess I should give it a shot..

I live in a small apartment with my g/f, which is nice.. BUT.. she has become the shegeek of all time and I hardly ever get to use my computer anymore. Which means that I have to get another computer, 'cause she is ready to KO me with the keyboard if I go near her game of Neverwinter Nights.

So please, PLEASE let me win that block, so it can go into that new computer, so I too can enjoy the pleasures of a late night game of UT2K3 :-)

Is that good enough.. ;)

Sloefke, it's not the Volcano cooler that's making the noise, it's the FAN.

This swiftech is only a heatsink, so that won't help you out :)

the swiftech heatsink is more powerful, so you can put a less noisy fan on it

you should give it to me because I've already crushed an amd 1600+ with my volcano 7+ and need a better heatsink for my 2000+ :o)

I need the moneh, plz hand that thingy over, so I can sell it overpriced ! jk ;)


is that SCSI card still workin' fine?

Why you should give the "killer" to me:

First of all, I busted my Volcano Adjustable fan speed by pulling a cable.
Not my fault, my case's fault, and now it only runs at full speed, I tried to "put" an Papst fan on it, but the wires were little big, and so the hs, wouldnt matched perfectly on the proc.

Second of all, i recently bought an alpha pal 8045, second hand, for 80 €.
After my mate D@ Hitch came to install it, it seemd that I was ripped, the little white rings were busted to put tension on the mobo and the proc.
I ran everywhere, my mate and me were desperate. After 3(!!) hours, we concluded that I was ripped off. (Now, we are trying to get the money back, but it looks that would be impossible, its his word against mine, byebye money. The sellers name is Tukker, so if he sells anything, be sure dont buy from him)
Later on the evening, I tried to give it a go on my self (i coulnd believe it that i was ripped off), and busted my mobo.
Now i have a mobo again after 1.5 months.

So as you can see, I have been through alot of miserie, just for a silent pc, all my money ran out, just for a silent pc.
I was being put in a Sanctuary for 6 months, so it would be a Godsgift if i could only win this alpha pal killer.

Now I'm going to take my Prozac.

Thx

Hullo there! I'm new to this forum, but since I'm a belgian [H]ard|OCPer it was just a matter of time b4 I register there (your contest definetly helped a bit ;-) )
well ya should give yar heatsink to me cuz I got a crappy orb(second hand) on an xp1700 and folding+xp=heat :D so help the folding@home project by cooling my CPU ! (I must admit that I close folding when my temp reach 80°C :-O )
usualy I'm a DIYer but glueing nails on a copper plate didn't work out for me (wasn't so cool indeed ;) )

anyway, there is PINK text on the frontpage? wtf? "not that there is anything wrong with that" if you see what I mean ;-)

I should get this get the heat sink because i just bought a new system:
epox 8k5a3+, 2000xp, 512mb ddr400 xms3200
i have already unlocked my processor but i dont have a heat sink. I will make great use of this heat sink:)
JoN

Please give it to me, I need to buy a new pc but I have a low budget. If I get the heatsink I have some extra money left over for the rest off my new pc.

I really need a new pc because gaming on a PII 300Mhz really sucks :puke:

Reason one :
I Use This Crappy Shitty thing
(look at the really ordinary screws which are holding the non-fitting fan onto the ultra-standard heatsink:


AND most of all :





I did not take anything out of there !

Senti go look @ some thread in some certain forum before even replying :p

DUH ;)

you thought I was serious? lol


tooooo easy :)

teus & blackrabbit were serious...

of course I was
I'm always serious
Did you ever see me laugh before? Don't think so!
Having no money (few money) is not something to laugh with! Ow so actually you think it's something to laugh with? Well Mr. Funny guy, maybe you should take a look to all those poor people in world! Or better, you should live 5 days like they do! Then and only then you will know what it is I'm going through!
You cruel man! :ween:

because I want to take it to school, put a 120 m (indeed m.) delta fan on it (with iron blades) and blow al the teachers head's away to your backyard...

I don't have any money left since some hardware failed me :ween:

and especially: I don't EVER win anything...:grum: :grum:

Why I should win??? i could use it on my system so it would run cooler otherwise i couldn't even make up a reason why or maybe because i don't have any money to buy one and i miss my dady who is in benin at the moment .
[crying mode]I want this or my dady [/crying mode]

english please :-)
our site is international, so we've got people from everywhere ! :-)

edit edit :)

The reason I think I should win?

Let’s start.
First of all I’m married and have a little kid. That should be reason enough.
I’ve got a wife who thinks that she married a rich guy (not).
At the end of my money I still have a little month left.
Last week my car decided that he had to wrap himself around a tree that was crossing the road at that time.
The roof of my house decided that it had enough of the view and it was time to see the wide world (come to think of it, there where a few other things that couldn’t bare to be in my presents anymore and decided that the storm was a good moment to go away trash bins, fences, plants, pieces of trees, and so on).
I think all the fish in my aquarium belong to a secret underground group because this weekend they collectively committed suicide.
I have a cat who thinks that it’s the biggest hunter put on gods earth, she brings home horses, cows, chickens, pigs, etc and I have to pay the farmers for there loss.
And now my computer, this piece of crap doesn’t even work properly, at this moment there is blue smoke coming out of the back.
Ok, have to leave you now because my house is on fire, if I’m fast I maybe can save something.
I will let you know to which carton box you can send the cooler. (If I can find the money to pay for 10 min of computer time in a cybercafe).

Disclaimer:
All the above is fictive.

If I hurt somebody with the text above I apologise.
This was not the intention.
:^D

my reason: i own and host you!

you guys may praise yourself lucky, i am an intel lover :)
else the heatsink was for me without no doubt :)

Ive managed to run a cpu to 96degrees C. <- no joke

(the mobo was fired afterwards tho)

well, i'd like to sign up to the contest to, last minute
why? because i'm going to pay shipping costs :p
and also because i've come to realise that case modding isn't as important as case cooling and cpu cooling, to bad i've realised it to late, and invested to much money in the purty things rather then keeping my hardware cooler

Hi all

the deadline has arrived and an innocent beautifull ladieshand just selected the winner after reading through all the replies
