Never ever ever trust user "reviews" of hardware on webshops.
Looking at the 3770K, it's got 3 "reviews", 1x 5/5 stars, 1x 4/5 stars and 1x 3/5 stars.

Want to take a wild guess at that they deducted the stars for?
The boxed cooler...

Same deal with the 2600K.
People are retards. Spewing out retarded **** to sound smart.
People annoy me.

^You just need to look carefully to weed out the bad feedback from the good one, user comments and mini reviews like you called them helped me out pick up some good stuff.

Re-read what he wrote. They are complaining that it comes with a cooler in the box. My point is that I can't see why being provided with a cooler is a bad thing

Just because you don't want/need the cooler its no reason to deduct points because its included

However, I must agree that I do like to read other peoples thoughts on products they have purchased as well.

Pretty sure their problem with the cooler is that it's Intel stock crap rather than a performance cooler.

^They should be glad they are getting a cooler... i mean its logical its going to be something standard, no point in having something rise up the price even more and maybe not even appeal to the costumer, that would be bad for the product and business.

I think the issue may have arisen from Intel shipping vastly superior coolers with review samples.

No, that the cooler is crap.
Apparently 80 degrees is "too ****ing hot" when running full load.
Just shows their total inability to research items before they purchase it.

The EA customer support page is a cluster**** designed to make people not want to contact EA, I'm sure of it.

Here I am, trying to install Bring Down the Sky, a free DLC for Mass Effect (1), so I find this link.
All fine and dandy, until the installer informs me that the key is all used up, but the aforementioned link says I'll just have to talk to tech support and they'll reset/renew the key for me. Fine, so I click the link, and it asks me what game it is (even though I clicked the direct link from the page I was trying to get help for.
Being slightly annoyed at this point, I filtered "Mass Effect" for the search, and there was an article for "Bring Down the Sky" at the bottom, so I clicked that.
Lo and behold, it lead me straight back to the first link!

What the ****ing **** man.

As an added bonus, I thought it was just EA ****ing with Opera at first, so I tried IE. Yup, had to go through all that again... But still no dice.
Seriously EA, what the ****.

So a guy came in today was waiting in queue to use the self scans and apparently a customer pushed in and went on to it, and the thing is I had no idea that she had pushed in and the guy didn't even bother telling me instead he starts swearing at me that I should be sorting out the queues.

There are 12 self scans that 2 colleagues manage, at the time of this incident I was on my own so I could hardly make sure that queues were fine as well as attend to the customers.

So this guy is swearing at me and tbh all I can do is apologize despite his attitude, as he goes to his till there's some food that a previous customer did not want, and he just throws it on the floor in anger. I pick it up and ask him whats the point of throwing this on the floor and he just starts swearing at me to do my job properly and at this point I'm slightly angry and as I was walking of I called him a prick( Not at his face, I said it more to myself then to him and yes I know I shouldn't have, but I was too pissed off to care)
He hears me and follows me, grabs me and slams me against one of the self scans and grabs my arms all the time asking me what I called him. at this point he also tells me that he is a 40 year old man and he will kill me.

My colleague then comes back and asks whats going on, guy lets go of me and I go to tell security and at this point he comes out leaves the store not before telling me that if he ever sees me outside of the shop he will cut my nose.

He also threatened my colleague as well as i was walking towards security. He had grabbed his throat and was pissed that he had got in the way. He's been banned from the store and I think the security guard said he was going to be arrested. The police are going to get my statement as well.

I honestly have never been in a fight in my life and I have never been threatened like that. It was quite scary really and I'm worried he might still come after me. Although the threats he gave are quite funny now that I think about it. I have no idea why he told me his age and what he has against my nose, I mean he could have just said he will cut my face, why did he specifically go for my nose?? lol
Thought Id just share this with you guys

He's just a dickwad. Best thing you can do is ban him from the store, and have security be on the lookout for him, then follow him around should he come back.

[ozzgx4]

Yeah they have printed out his face from the CCTV footage and also taken the footage of What happened which they are going to give to the police.

That's good. No reason why he should've snapped at you like that.
