Because I want my product to appeal to every potential customer I have redesigned the SMIC.
1. The fan now will sit flush.
2. I've added the slot for the lower fan nipple.
3. I've added the lower side nipple on the IC.
4. Redesigned the upper bracket completely.
Unfortunately this will raise the current price about $60. I think it's a fair offset for a perfect fitting IC.
Now, current owners don't feel left out! You got a good product for an excellent price that will function exactly the same as the new one. However, I can offer you an option of sending the IC back to have it modified to be like the new design. I don't have a price set yet, but it should't be a lot.
That's awesome! The guy who started this thread may have been a little bit harsh, but he voiced his opinion and opened up a topic that ended up being beneficial to the whole community. Good vendors like Custom aren't phased by criticism, it just makes their true color come out. Same for the other vendors who have handled complaints well. Bravo!
Wow. Thanks. Wow.
Custom, you surely are awesome. I think a large part of my problem was because I bought the IC second hand rather than buying from you.
