Had a look at it and you shouldn't have a problem replacing it with any standard 4 wire/pin heatsink of reasonable quality sans overclocking. Unless you are thrashing your machine you should bearly hear it anyway. In your motherboard settings you might be able to set the fan to have a less aggressive ramp up curve so it doesn't hit full tilt until it really gets warm. The Shroud is a joke.

Just grab a stock Intel heatsink or something and some good thermal paste. Spread it nice and thin, real thin. If you done it right the CPU idling temp should be 30c. 40+c means you need to try again as you have imperfect contact.

In case you are confused, the heatsink and fan are considered one unit so when the fan goes, you replace the entire thing.

Good Movie.  Not the their best. 

I figured you were going to go for more of a classic.

It's visually very flashy, but not the best work they have done.

I went to this movie cold as I didn't have any intention of going to the cinema to watch this....

Ultron significantly better than the first. The first was an adequate movie which had a monotone pace. Was predictable, awkward, had generally uninteresting action, poor motivations for inter-team conflict, too much Stark also what the point of Hawkeye?.

Ultron is has generally natural characters, most of the action is pretty good although for some reason they decided to ruin chunks of it with shakey cam. Had a good varying pace that let you breath a little, although it is slightly overly aggressive with the editing which was done to keep the length down as it is a long movie that might have been 2 movies, so between the two evils, they chose the right one. We still have a Hawkeye problem where he is still an outsider, but he doesn't bring that to the group and it more for personal brooding.

Stark is something of an imbecile where he once again doesn't think about the consquences of his actions, even from one moment to the next. He never faces up to them ever. Sure he "Fixes" things, but he never takes personal responsibility.

Overall Joss has learned from quite a few of his mistakes and has made a better movie. Good for him and I would wish other directors would do the same but that's not going to happen, if anything else most directors get worse.

Abrams has yet to make a movie that hasn't disintegrated into nonsense mid way through the movie or on the ride home or in the case of Into Darkness, the first 5 minutes. It is partly his over reliance on references and nostalgia that both his crutch and what cripples him. Both his Treks were insults on the viewers intelligence. I expect more of the same with Star Wars because he has yet to do otherwise and given the number of opportunities he had, I don't think he is capable of anything else.

That episode of POI is brilliant. In any other show it would have been a filler bottle episode to save money for the finale, but not POI. Turn that around into a short movie. Those writers have some serious balls.

I gave both Arrow and the Flash a shot, but I just don't like either show.

The Arrow writers really, really want to write for Batman instead. Change the costume, swap out the girl for a butler and you have a bad version of Batman. Grim Dark this and Grim Dark that compounded with crazy poor lighting.

The Flash on the other hand has seriously awful "Drama" and the technobable is just bad. Makes me think back to the JLA cartoons and how good they are. Mark Hamill was nice, but came off wasted and needed more screen time while let loose to chew scenery.

Thunderbirds are Go.

Blah. This show is just schizophrenic. One moment it looks like bad CGI, the next it almost looks like classic TB, then you get awful mixed scenes. Over used the hell out of the countdown and in the first episode they have ready started reusing shots. Pacing was non-existent, at the rate they are going they are going to run out of disasters. Oh for **** sakes, there is bloody "Drama". It has no tension as they never have anything play out like they did in the original. The original Marionettes emote better and a lot more distinct. Unless there is a dramatic improvement with the next episode, I am out.

Danger 5 Season 1

And of course, KILL Hitler.

This is just wonderful. The amount of attention and effort to makes it look and feel 60's is stunning. It is delightfully asinine and surreal. Robots, diamond girls, dinosaurs, old school Thunderbird special effects, Hitler, sexism going both directions in equal measure, all played for laughs done straight.

Go watch this or I will use the sit down gun.

AOS coming from the break was stupid rough. I was hating everyone as everyone were completely off character despite the team having seen worst things happen. Simmons was the worse as she effectively loses her **** with her character completely disintegrating only to suddenly snap back. The writers are simply destroying her. With the last episode though the show finally pulled itself out of the hole it exploded itself into.

I got a short summary from a kind soul. It was pretty funny in a 13 year old xbox live kind of way. I am amused, therefore satisfied.

He's done basically the exact same thing before. This was what, his third go-around?

Was I the trigger last time? I have a feeling I might have been. Most likely my ego messing with me. Yes that must be it.

The best part is if anything I'm the one you'd expect him to lash out at.

It takes a real man to pull the trigger... unless it's suicide.

Eh the actual framing is off forth star fights which ahs something that has been consistent for majority of the series. Also the series has never been about Graphic death imo.

Can you rephrase that? I am having trouble interpreting what you're writing.
