Post by: dna on 2004-01-23, 23:08
Con missed posting the link to this (http://www.overclockers.com/articles938/).

I thought it ws interesting anyway.  Just one more example of why OCZ sucks.  Never heard of CompUSA though.

That's false advertising then, and false advertising is illegal.  It also shows that when it comes to the real stuff vs. the cheap stuff spend the extra money and get what you know is good.

And if you dig, you find that the company "producing" the thermal compound outsources the actual production overseas. They are apparently seeking legal action, as this is not only bad press for them, but the "latest batch" failed to meet their requirements of their supplier.

Cheap production, cheap product. And not necessarily good either way.

Yeah I saw that.  I'm just not certain I believe it when they say they didn't know about it ;)
