AMD Branch out into Memory
It seems a recession brings all the companies out into the diversification market, AMD are just following suit in some very big footsteps, so, if you haven't gathered from the title, AMD is branching out into the memory market!
They have teamed up with Patriot to bring AMD Branded memory to the market, this is a very interesting move by AMD, as it has been done before by a company, i distinctly remember Nvidia branded memory, and ATi branded memory from years back, but AMD memory should be something different.

I'll try and get some photos up. Rig is down at the moment, because my dingy old 7200rpm hdd finally died. And with hdd prices where they are today, I decided to just buy a force gt 120 GB.

With an Asus Sabertooth 990FX, a Corsair H100 and a Corsair 400R Case, there is a slight fitment issue with the radiator mounting holes vs the 8 pin EPS power connector. Basically you need to move the rad to the left about a half inch to fit the 8 pin EPS plug in the mobo... not a huge deal as the 400R offers a honey-comb mesh that you can put a screw/washer through and mount. Granted, this approach doesn't look QUITE as pretty but it doesn't look bad by any stretch.
