    My computer crashed from overheating and I told my father I needed to buy some fans. I came back and he put a bigass house fan blowing directly at it. He told me it was fine now and asked me to try it. Predictably, it crashed but he asked me "Do you think its too cold?"

    ccaian got a reaction from xephoneration in 4 Year Old Rig Update - Define R4 to 760T   
    Just documenting my update of my old rig. Most of its parts I acquired in 2012, it was long overdue for an upgrade.
     
    Here were my old specs:
    i7-960 @ 3.8ghz
    Gigabyte X58 UD3R
    Noctua NHD14
    AMD Sapphire 7970 OC
    Cooler Master GX650w Bronze PSU
    Fractal Design R4
     
    After the new parts:
    i7-4770k @ 4.2ghz
    Asus Hero Maximus VI
    Corsair H100i
    Asus 980ti STIRIX OC
    Corsair RM650i
    Corsair 760T
     
     
     

     
     
    The Original PC, built in 2012. Absolutely no colour coordination, brown Noctuas, blue motherboard and orange PSU. Messy to look at but at least it did its job well.

     

     
    Beautiful sleeved cables done by someone I met online. He charged 60USD for the 24 pin mobo cable and the 2 x 8 pin PCIE cable. Worth every penny.
     

     
     
    Pre-Upgrade Photos. I already installed the GPU and mobo out of eagerness unfortunately. 
     

     
    First Step. Thing was a pain to install.
     
      
     
     
    Installed the H100i V2, 980ti and RM650i. Cool stuff. It looks like massive GPU sag, but really its just the way the card is designed.
     
     

     
     
    Aaaaaand just like that. It's completed. Did not take long at all. Looks so much better than the R4 build. It was a lot of money spent on purely aesthetic parts; like the cables, PSU, CPU cooler and Case. The GX650 was fine, and D14 was actually better. But I just like how cleaned the RM650i and H100i V2 looks. The cables and case were relatively expensive totalling to over 250USD but hey it looks sick. Thanks for reading!

    ccaian got a reaction from rhyseyness in Is game piracy ethical.   
    If you can't afford it then don't buy it, piracy IS stealing why is that concept hard to grasp? Just because digital media didn't exist back then doesn't mean the context has changed. Downloading something illegally is still theft.
     
    Also, you don't have to have every game in the world. Until now I still have not played witcher 3 because it doesn't look like my type of game, but I do want to try it just because its so critically acclaimed. When I was like 12 I had to always choose which pokemon game to get, firered or leafgreen, heartgold or soulsilver and I didn't have a problem with it.

    I like the sound of borrowing a disk, putting in the console and just play the games, without configuration or accounts or cd keys and shit. I also like the fact I play it on a big TV while sitting on a couch. Its not convenient to use a PC on a huge TV while sitting on a couch....

    ccaian got a reaction from Arty in LTT: lost most subs then any other channel. (linuses tweet if you have not seen it )   
    Er your title is wrong. He meant he lost more subscribers than most youtube channels will ever have, meaning most channels don't even have 500k subscribers. I don't think he means he lost the most subscribers compared to other youtubers. Although we won't know for sure because you can't freely check other channel statistics (not to my knowledge).

    In what way was the OP an arrogant whiny baby? You're the cunt here. OP is being reasonable.
     
    You can challenge a criticism, but in this case you don't have a counter argument. You're just stupid Why don't you defend linus instead of shooting down criticism. There are alot of times linus changed his video styles from video criticism for the better, and if it were for crybaby fangays like you he would never improve or grow.
     
    If linus continues to be neglectant and ignore (which is not the case) his audience you think he would still have an audience?

    A gaming PC is what people consider "high performance", which varies from people to people.
     
    You can convince a retard that a 760 cannot max all games at 1080p and isn't a high end gaming card but that dense fucker will still tell you its the best card ever and anything more is excessive thats why he bought it. Its not cause hes poor or makes lousy buying decisions or anything.
