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!!  |

| 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!!
See the one here:

Looks familiar here:

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