No. When you go to download the driver you're asked what series card you have.
The older cards have probably been optimized as much as they can be, the newer cards use different, newer technology, architecture, etc, etc and are just starting out thier optimization, tweaks, fix and whatever else cycle.
The newer cards can do more things, DX10 for example, which the older cards simply cannot, so why update them with stuff they cannot use.
I'm not so worried about the chocolate thing either, think there's an over sensitivity to possible racist comments when there is really nothing behind it or something else is meant.
I'm more bothered about his ridiculous assumptions that all people from the UK are blind Hamilton fan boys. Like others have said and I have said it's not about defending or being a Hamilton fan, but more being totally sick of the constant negativity that always coming from certain people, without fail.
For every Hamilton fan boy there are 5 anti-fan boys who are just as blinded and the topic is lost.

You really have no idea at all
I would suggest that others don't lower themselves to harjuns level with meaningless threats, I understand the frustration, sheer disbelief and anger but it doesn't improve anything.
You put a layer of thermal paste onto the CPU then mount the heat sink. If you buy a retail CPU (one with a heat sink and fan) the heat sink would normally be pre-applied with thermal paste so you'd not have to worry about it.
The rest is just plugging cables into things, pretty easy but daunting if you've never done it.
The main benefit that comes from building it yourself is that you can put whatever bits you want in there and tailor it exactly to your price range and needs.
You can't be anonymous in S2 because your username (lerts) comes up when you enter, get a PB or leave so it doesn't really matter what your display name is as people still know it's you.
I don't think people are trying to defend you, more not agreeing with what others have said, but you still don't help the point they are trying to make. Being a little more humble might help or just not letting your attitude about it seep out so much.
The repuatation you think is fine will always follow you here and your posts will always turn into this.
I'm afraid speedway has stomped all over you warm fuzzy chi with hard science fact.
The fans just replace the warm air (heated up by all the hot gubbins inside) inside your case with cool(er) air from outside. The cooling effect totally depends on the temperature in your room; the fans don't really cool the incoming air at all.
