    some htpc gaming... I'm mostly into older games so it will have plenty of power for that.

    making games is not like you woke up one day and you decide that you'll make game in 3 days.
     
    but... if you really, really want to make game but you don't know c++, try this

    i think if you force reboot it 2-3 times while it boots (on boot logo) it will go to recovery mode where you can force windows to return to pre-update state and ignore that update. not a Win10 user though so I can't tell you more.

    LordMMX got a reaction from Canada EH in Retro Water cooled laptop?   
    According to this article, http://www.hitachi.com/New/cnews/E/2002/0717/index.html , Hitachi made water cooled laptop back in Pentium 4 days. I would love to see it in LTT video review.

    If you can format it first, or if you have a usb connection (hdd enclosure), then that would be preferable. Your BIOS will read it as a boot device and might try to load it.  That's the only issue. But once windows is up you can plug them in, open up disk management, and format/set a drive letter for it.

    FSB is okay (100x34 = 3400Mhz)  +/- 2Mhz on FSB is normal.
     
    temperature sensor may be broken , but it also may be good , it's just missinterpreted by AIDA. look at cpu temp in bios.

    LordMMX got a reaction from Jimboynoob in what do you think of ECS Elitegroup Z87H3-A3X Gank Drone?   
    it is a legit board, ECS has been around for years, they also bought PCChips [an infamous motherboard maker, known for faking L2 cache chips on 486 boards]. board looks good and it should work with i7 4790k. but still it is a budget board.

    LordMMX got a reaction from Keenan1996 in Setting GPU fans to 100% while playing heavy games a good idea?   
    you can do it. it will help lower temps by few degrees. no harm will be done, except it will be a bit louder while running at full speed. but if you use headphones while gaming, it does not matter.

    you may try to get an Phenom II x4 965 BE as far as I can see on google, there are few threads where people are claiming they have successfully upgraded their Inspiron 570.

    btw, seems like this time, dell used standard mATX form factor

    that means I make living by fixing them and testing them. so in theory, yes, at least 1 laptop per month. Sometimes 2 or 3 at same time.

    LordMMX reacted to Jurrunio in Need your irl experience, buy cheaper and upgrade, or splurge now?   
    The biggest problem is finding a machine that looks subtle with good hardware. Flashy ones will attract unwanted attention .My cousin has a Gigabyte Aero 15, in which he put multiple cartoon stickers on top that covers most of it to make it look like something cheap
     
    Dont spend that extra money for a 1070. Not worth it.
     
    Actually, a mobile 1060 can last quite long (in performance). Laptop screens are small enough to make lower resolutions like 1600x900 still look decent, which means the same GPU can stay relevant for longer. Besides, a 1070 cramped in a 6lbs laptop will get quite hot unless you opt for the Max-Q version, which isnt all that much faster but is a lot more expensive.

    well, first of all, Windows 10 sucks badly thanks to it's data collecting features and constant upgrading and patching itself.
     
    now, your windows 7 install may not boot anymore after upgrade. it may help if you deactivate it frist [some activation cracking tools have option to deactivate windows], so it becomes 30 days version again that can be run on any kind of hardware.

    LordMMX reacted to Sparky Brony in I saw this on youtube   
    Okay, I was watching another youtuber, the 8 bit guy. And while he primarily handles vintage systems, this is actually amazing. A computer case, built for an ATX motherboard, but it has the shape of the old Apple II computer. The vintage looking case also has premium mechanical switch keyboards, a small place for USB input and plenty of fan room. This thing looks AMAZING! I would love to see LTT actually do a video on this one. Please guys, get one of these and make a baller system inside it!

    Ok, this is my last post, since you think I'm homophobic (think what you want, but I'm not wishing you anything bad just because you are member of lgbt) . 
    picture you posted earlier from canadian pride shows people in normal clothes with rainbow flags...  meanwhile here, in my country, lgbtetc pride is attended by people who aren't as homosexual as they are deviants or pervs. [man in suit made from rainbow dicks hanging from it for example]. I know many LGBT community managed to achieve many things and respect for community itself in front of others, but let's face it, for conservative people [like I am] , seeing a dude in costume from dicks doesn't create a good image to whole idea of pride.
