It's summertime and CPU temps were a little high so I went looking for something to cool things down.

Lowest on eBay is $1.70 + $5.50 S&H = $7.20.

Lowest on Pricewatch has it for $4.00 shipped free from HardCore Cooling.com

Probably against forum rules.

Thanks for the post though, keep hunting for good deals. Welcome to the forums, hopefully everyone minds their manners and doesn't slam you into the ground and kick you while you're down for missing that.
 
I do beleive this code is allowed.


What about COUPONS and PROMOTIONAL CODES?

You may post:
Links to coupons on the issuing vendor's own site.

Links to scans of coupons that invite you to share them with your friends.

Links to scans of other coupons, AS LONG AS they do not state that copies or reproductions are not allowed, or that the coupon is valid only for the original recipient.


DO NOT post:
Coupon or promotion numbers.

Links to coupon numbers you could not post, here.

Links to scans of coupons other than those listed, above.

Requests for others to post or send you coupon numbers or offers to send them to anyone else.


OK it says Numbers, and I guess it has to be a link

Well since the code is publicly available from Pricewatch and HardCore Cooling.com put it there themselves I figured this was ok. If this was a code sent out privately to me or as part of a mailing list then I wouldn't have done it.
 
Thanks for all the info I was just looking for some but the S/H kind of kills the deal at most sites.
 
Maybe I'm confused, but going to pricewatch it appears free shipping is only for a 10 tube purchase. A single tube came up as $5.99 with $1.95 shipping for me. Also, where can I verify if the code for you gave is good? The link basically tells you they will honor codes from pricewatch, but I don't see this code. Only the $4.00 for 10 with free shipping to be manually enetered and they bill accordingly. I'd really like to get one tube for $4.00 shipped. Otherwise SVC has it for $5.99 shipped free.

When you goto pricewatch and do a search for "Arctic Silver 5" the top two items that will come up will be from Hardcore Cooling.com. The second one is the one with the min order of 10. The first one will says this under price.

Dammm, I going out of my mind, Just searched again, one minute later and now the 10 tube thing is gone and now showing $4.00.......the site still shows $5.95. Is the code good? Can I trust them to manually adjust? thnx
 
Hmmm... weird it showed up on pricewatch for me. This all has to go on faith on the part of Hardcore cooling to adjust the price. It has excellent reseller ratings though.

Maybe you should try to call in your order just to make sure.

They have pretty bad reviews on resellerratings.. Also a lot of the reviews are by people with only one REVIEW and are very short and indiscript... CAVEAT EMPTOR
 
I just called them to check this out, it's their July Special. He said just order however many tubes you want through the website and paste this into the "Special" field:

PRICEWATCH.COM
TotalCost $4.00
Price - $ 4
Shipping - FREE INSURED

He said the amount charged will indeed be $4/tube with free shipping. However, the price will appear higher on the website and in your shopping cart. He assured me I'd only be charged $4/tube.

HOT DEAL! Thanks! 😀

Has everyone who ordered this get it yet?

No, I haven't AND I ordered it on the 14th from the place for $4.60 delivered (didn't want to deal with the coupon hassle!

Received an email saying it was mailed that day but nothing so far and its been eight days....

FOLLOWUP (10:50 CDT)

I tried calling them and there was nothing but an automated service saying I was in the que - and I tried it with their direct telephone number, their Customer Service and their main operator. All the same message. Maybe they are on vacation....
 
Another followup.

I went ahead and checked my credit card and found that they had not even billed me - yet.

SO, with no one picking up their telephone at HardDrive, and no receipt after nine days, I went ahead and placed another order but with HardCoreCooling for $4. When it was done, I didn't see a screen that says it was complete (this is getting frustrating) but one that said COMPLETE, so I called their Toll-Free relephone number (the other site cost). They answered on second ring and he double-checked his end and my order was there.

So, upon reflection, I thought I would save the hassle by ordering it at 60 cents more, and ended up with twice the hassle - GO FIGURE!

Thanks for the deal OP.
