  1. I've had a MSI 970 GAMING and I quit trying above 1450mhz clock, and got the memory to 3703mhz.

     

    I since traded with a friend for an EVGA ACX card, and now I run 1475mhz, and same on the memory.

     

    I'm pretty sure I could get 1500, just because it's an even number, but eh. 

  2. Backstory: I work at a BMW dealership.

     

    Friend asks me what I think of a 525it. 

    I say it's garbage--don't do it unless you want a project.

    He brings it in for a pre-purchase inspection.

    Find NUMEROUS things wrong with car, and there's ZERO service history.

    Car is worth 3500, with everything fixed, because 200,000+ miles.

    Seller is asking 6500.

    Friend buys car anyway. For $6000, still far more than it's worth.

    Then winter comes along, heater fan dies. Power windows stop working. Constant battery drain--battery dead after 3 days of sitting. 2 of the 4 aftermarket wheels (that we said were bent in the PPI) are leaking.

     

    Says it's all my fault.

     

    Friend then buys a 2005 Mini Cooper for his wife. 

    Clutch hydraulics fail on that. After fixing hydraulics, find out it needs a clutch anyway.

  3. To answer your questions, the S-series Noctua fans are the airflow optimized fans. They're only good for very open, non-restricted airflow. The F-series fan is better in 90% of situations. Any dust filter, HDD cages, radiators.... you'll definitely want an F-series fan.

     

    NF-S12A - case/airflow optimized.

    NF-F12A - static pressure optimized.

     

    As stated, though, the Industrial line (VERY worth the money, IMO) is the way to go, and there is no S-series fan in that line.

     

    That's because the static pressure optimized fans are better.  :P

  4. It seems that you are not understanding the question. OP wants to remove the boot SSD from the computer, clone it's contents to the HDD to be able to boot from the the HDD and not loose any of the data on the HDD.

    I apologize. I was under the impression OP was trying to do the opposite--from HDD to SSD.

  5. If you really wanted to get creative, you could pull the tach wire from your fans hooked up to the controller, and plug it into the tach sense portion of the header on the mobo. 

     

    That's probably more work/uglier than you want, though.

  6. Yup. Same here, almost completely. I see someone, even family, and I'm quite indifferent as to what happens to them. My grandfather whom I was quite close to died when I was very young. I never understood why everybody was crying. I never shed a tear, except around my grandmother because I thought she'd want to see me "mourning" for him similar to how she was. But I never really felt anything.

     

    For the most part, logic rules what I do. I hear so many people talk about their "passion" and enjoying what the do and I have no idea what that even means. I've struggled my whole life until recently. As you said, manipulating people (definitely exs, they were the easiest) and even family to a point. I never really had many friends, and I was fine with that. 

     

     

    But I finally found a girl (and in turn a true friend) who accepts me for me. She's got a background in Psychology and other brain stuff, so we both kinda feed off each other. It's pretty amazing. I also realized that a long-time acquaintance of mine is also a sociopath, so it's far, far more common than you think.

  7. I used to watch a friend's kid for him while he and the wife went on a dinner date or something as such. The kid LOVED the bouncy pink pony. Pinkie Pie. At first I very begrudgingly watched the "Pony Show" with Henrik, but surprisingly to me I started to enjoy the show. I'm not saying I'm a Brony by any means, but it's a decent show. No hidden nasty shit to subtly screw with people, and the show has a generally good message to it.

     

    I'm kinda surprised at the whole Brony audience, but I've seen damn near all of seasons 1 and 2, so yeah.  lol
