Last week decide to go watercooling on my PC,new cooler arrived!!!! then disaster, removing heat sink from CPU[processor] the whole lot comes away[heating and CPu] not a biggy so start to twist it off, butter thumps CPu spins off fly's into case hits ram chips pin side !!!!! arggggggggggggggggggh in all 15 bent pins....not happy bunny tried to straighten them no joy not happy, £150 of CPu down drain,so off to net i go even ebay they wanted £70 for a 2nd hand 2y old cpu[ quad core 3.5ghz],so better option was to upgrade 6 core cpu new mb £137...soo far so goood nope!!!

Get letter from bank dd charge think wtf for BT huh £76 uhmmmm no we only pay £39.50 pm,so ring them according to web and them its our internet usage,uhmm no unlimited no fair usage policy etc,uhmm well your behind, anyway done the calcs turns out what we have paid BT for our agreed package we have paid in 10 months for whole yrs worth,yet un beknown they have been taking £76 since Sept...wait for it are we right!!!! no according to them were in arrears still and need to double payments,now we have BT infinity option 2 unlimited BT scrapped there fair usage policy[hence why we went there] our last bill for calls even /week ends 57p

the best part when we first got it all installed they cut us off as some how they had a dual account!

From the pricing you would now be on an AMD FX chip I would imagine, they seem nice. I'm only on a quad Athlon II but it suits my needs.

Yeah, CPU pins never, ever bend back quite right so it was gubbed as soon as it fell.

FX6300 3.5ghz 14mb cache clockable stable 5ghz....but more likely wont annoying getting new mb as old one was AM3

I too feel your pain.

I left Bt after tons of probs with them, am now with PlusNet, but to be honest they arnt that hot either. Can't have Sky cuz they don't do it here, too rural or something.

Got the blue screen on death on my laptop yesterday, can't do anything with it. On the IPad now, which I hate. Bloody technology, sometimes causes more grief than its worth.

Damn. Was just about to move to BT.

A brighter tech note - Just scrapped a ten-year old laptop & now have 8 more 18650's.
