Hi there, Just got my new haswell build today!

unfortunately the wrong CPU cooler was sent, does not support 1150

#This is what i ordered http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-099-TR

but the one sent has brown fans and it not 1150, easy mistake to make as the box says the right pt number, but the model of mine is extream, and that is not on the box.

So, i'm buggered then? even the instructions say no 1150, so i cant use it, but I want to build my computer and i want to use the stock cooler from intel for now, but what about a new cooler? Will OC send me a new one and pick up old one, will they throw in free paste and paste remover for meh grubby chip or do i just have to wait?

OK cheers
 
YES!

It has 1155, so ill use the guide for that then?

Right, Ok then, hmm i well gutted its brown, because i ordered Orange for my Z87 Oc board and Orange RAM.... Maybe I can overlook it, but i'm not a patient person

#Aye I ordered the right one, but the one received is brown not orange and its not the extreme version, so i'm al least due a small credit note?

#Sod it, I'm building this tonight or the world ends and I'll suffer the brown fans and lack of Orange extreamness and argue the toss with OC tommorow.

the main thing is I can use it, and Jesus H it big and heavy, good job I bought a 650d or i would be truly buggered!

So use the stock intel and wait for new one? Whats DSR anyhow, some returns policy or courier?

I cant decide now, I'll have a beer and think about it, but you know what, the brownish beige colour is quite fetching, I think I like it... I like beighe. Yeps i'm getting old.

ahah yes its your fault mate!

I'm not puttin it in, i just saw the bag of bits.... Yeah, maybe i was ment to get the wrong one so i get the h100i, its only 40 bucks more....

Its just i want it working tonight, im gonna have to use the intel one, but it will mess up my chip with paste, wont be a problem i guess, just need that alcohol for removing it, maybe oc will throw it in for me if i order a h100
 
'high street' hahah, you've never been to deepest darkest Norfolk have you? we have a 'lane'

Its OK, i'm going to that Norwich tommorow, hopefully they'll swop me a bottle for a few hens
