MUST. REVIVE. THREAD.

Thanks for reminding me of this thread...

 

I just completed a cleanup and optimization op for a client's notebook... Who the flying faq uses SpeedupMyPC?? There are also tons of crapware and a few viruses on that thing and it's barely a month old...  I returned it afterwards, then he asked why the video app on the win8 tablet that he had won't work... Got VLC player for him but he almost clicked an ad for some shady software... Oh man...

Stories will be posted as they come. This tread is far from death and I'm rather enjoying having less then 10 notifications per day for a little while.

One day I will have my GTX 970. One day. PC specs are at my profile.

Not sure how to check what part works with what? Check out my compatibility guide!

Have you considered setting it up to receive notifications daily as opposed to instantly?

I don't think that's Quantum.  I hope Quantum is millenniums faster.

Surely if it's quantum then the data will simultaneously be both on everyone's computers as well as nowhere, and it would simply depend on what state the qubit was when observed........If it's not there, then simply observe another one :P

I think most people's brain's explode at the part where the info is both everywhere and nowhere. lol

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

My mom used a music streaming service on her phone. When we got the bill, the mobile data usage was waaaaay higher than it should be and we had to pay for the extra mb. So I asked her about the streaming service. Turned out she was using YouTube with HD turned on.....

My cousin and I were replacing ram and upgrading him to an SSD in his MacBook a while back. While I was transferring his files from his hard drive to the SSD, he took out the battery and and washed it in his sink "because it was dusty"... Had a long talk with him on why he can't do that.

These are great people, the best type of non-techies.

I guess that I'm lucky that my friends know the meaning of the word 'overclocking'. However, they don't know that only K-series processors can be overclocked.

Not true, i overclocked my 4460 to 4 GHZ with the gigabyte oc function

My Main Build: NZXT S340 - NZXT Kraken X31 - Crucial MX100 256GB - i5 4460 - Gigabyte Z97P D3 - Kingston HyperX Red 8GB - MSI Nvidia GTX 780 3GB - Corsair LL & HD RGB Fans, Corsair Lighting Node Pro.

You probably just increased the turbo frequency, which you can do pretty easily

I meant multiplier overclocking. Bclk overclocking is more advanced, and I guess you're lucky that you can increase yours that high.
