  2. I'd trust the guy with Titan X's in SLI in his sig :lol: "Good enough".
  3. Even if I didn't overclock, i'd still put an aftermarket cooler on the 4790k. Devil's Canyon heats up like Death Valley in July.
  4. "You can have my Bitcoins, I don't know how they work."
  5. I replaced both the glue and the TIM and honestly, i've had almost a 20C drop on my processor. It was only 10C when I kept the TIM on and replaced the glue.
  6. I agree that Unix is the greatest operating system family ever created. However, I can only agree that Mac OS X is the expensive brat of Unix. The only way to access it legally costs too much money. The fact that it forces regular users who can't afford it to piracy says a lot. I just sold my retina Macbook Pro because it cost me too much and I only used it for websurfing. I didn't feel encouraged to use it to its full potential at all, but maybe that's out of habit having coded in Windows and Linux distributions for so long. What can I get from OS X that I can't get out of a Linux distribution? Mostly universal agreement with software developers, even though I still find executables that nobody bothered to replicate for Macs. Maybe the tech support of an international corporation, maybe errors that aren't intuitively solved without hours of experience (although some view that kind of learning as potential for growth), but to issue a blanket statement for it like "world's most advanced operating system" is a stretch. I think Apple's marketing and hardware aesthetics is the true reason it thrives so well, besides people who literally grew up with Apple computers. But I guess that's why Apple makes more money than Windows. I dunno, I've never made a billion dollars. EDIT: Sorry for encouraging the necro.
  7. You'd be surprised. Even at a stable 1.2v, the 4790k likes to vary wildly, mostly because the TIM is far less superior than a known aftermarket TIM like Arctic Silver or the Noctua compound. I'd know, i've tried.
