Hi,
And you might of thought the new optimus cpu blocks were expensive

EK just made them look affordable

Not sure what's up with all these techpowerup reviews showing little more than a fraction of a degree 00.10 .... advancement has to be the way he assesses data and never posts max core temps ever just an average and still no HEDT chip tested

Cheapest 2066 or 1151 water block is 256.us for copper acetal and go up from there

Well I bought my first SSD back in 2010 and paid $235 for a 120GB OCZ Vertex 2 SSD drive. Now you can get a 2TB for less than that - Samsung 860 QVO SSD 2TB
.

I got my first SSD a few years after you and my OCZ 120Gb was $129 with a $15 rebate.

Only thing worth mentioning is that it was the only SSD that failed (2018).

Would that be the Vertex 2? I had one fail as well. But I've not had a single SSD fail since then.

That was my first SSD too. It's still working in neighbor's laptop.

Mine is still working; though it's currently not in an active machine. I just treat it as a temp external drive by connecting to PC via USB/SATA cable when I need to move files around. In fact I've got a Vertex 2 & 4.

I never bought another OCZ after that, Samsung now has my soul.
