**Doctor Feelgood**

Just when they were starting to roll and get past all their problems, they have this problem:

Seems like they are taking some solid steps to remedy it, but its pretty funny that their silver based thermal paste has NO silver in it!! Laughing

They knew it all along. They're just trying to save face.

I dont think they will ever live down the reputation that haunts them, and things like this definitely wont help either.

More like they told the supplier to make it with 1% silver so they could save a few bucks.

No surprise there!

What is kinda funny is that I'm reviewing a VGA cooler from Evercool right now that came with some suspiciously shiny thermal paste labeled "Silver Grease"... After reading the whole story at Overclockers.com which led to the OCZ recall, I see that I have the same stuff from CompUSA which is also 0% silver!! Laughing

The more things change, the more they stay the same; OCZ still hasn't learned their lesson.
