Coldfuson got a reaction from Ben17 in README: How to respond to a no POST or no power up situation
You shouldn't ever have to ground a motherboard through any other means than the ground on the 24 pin connector. In damn near every build guide, it is suggested you do a test bench build on top of the motherboard box. You probably had a loose connection on your 8 pin or something that was corrected when you unplugged everything and plugged it back in when you put it in your case.

Coldfuson reacted to dalekphalm in Remote Desktoping/Locking Down Grandparents Computer
Teamviewer works well and is extremely easy to use.
You install the software, then setup "Unattended Access". You assign a password to the computer. The computer itself is given a 9-digit "ID number". When in Unattended Access mode, it runs as a service, and as long as the computer is turned on, and has internet, the connection is available (Even if user is not logged in).
Finally, you create and sign into a Teamviewer account. This adds the computer to the account. So on another computer, you install Teamviewer, sign into your account, and you see your Grandparents computer in the list.
No need to remember an IP Address, or even the ID number of the computer.
No port forwarding needed (At least, not normally). Also, no need to worry about the WAN IP Address changing (Since most residential connections are on DHCP, which means the IP will occasionally change).
Easier to deal with compared to Windows RDP. And less hassle with setup compared to some of the VNC programs. I've never used the Chrome Remote Desktop add-on, so that might be alright But Teamviewer is simply one of the best out there.

when you never delete the installers after installing "just in case."
When you have a dedicated room just for the tech stuff you've gathered over the years.
When you have to make every computer you use faster than before you used it.
When you have a stack of install discs for various linux distros.
When you have broken computer parts from 1998 still saved "for later."
when you can't find another person to talk with who's "on your tech level."
When you don't have antivirus installed and still have never gotten a virus.
When you overclock a pc from 2003 just for fun
When it drives you crazy to see people throw away a 3 year old pc because "its slow."
That's all i can think of right now.

when you expalin something to someone ,they are amazed about what you know,and what they can do with this knowledge,they want to remember but they can't
when you want to stress test everything and undervolt or overclock them

Coldfuson reacted to Spork829 in UPDATED AGAIN: New Ryzen prices and clock speeds rumoured: lowest-end 8c/16t for $322, lowest-end 6c/12t for $223
It seems too good to be true, but I really, really hope not. I'd love to see Intel actually have to try these days.

When your desk is full of useful cables.
When your friends don't understand you and require you to speak in simple terms, which you're doing already.
When you have multiple old cellphones that no longer work lying around.
When you have all the ethernet ports on your switch occupied.
When you have an external battery on you most of the time.
When your backpack is extremely heavy thanks to the technology it's full of.

Coldfuson reacted to LinusTech in Thermaltake Engine 27
Sheesh. Lose the tinfoil hat man.. The 6700K doens't come with a stock cooler at all, so we grabbed a stock cooler out of a bin of them that we have. It ended up not being the "right one" of which there isn't one since it doesn't include one anyway.
Regards,
Linus

Coldfuson reacted to tom_w141 in Wirelessly powered hardware components?
Based on the current way we "wirelessly" charge devices - no. We charge via induction and if you have ever owned a wireless charger you have probably stopped using it because you'll have noticed its 2-3x longer to charge than a wire.
Also if you have ever owned a wireless device e.g. a phone then you'll know there is a sweet spot on the charging pad and being a few cm off will result in none or intermittent power delivery.
Now imagine all your higher wattage PC components needing constant uninterrupted power. They would need to be very close to the coil of the psu (thats how induction works) meaning that your components would all be right next to each other and adjacent to the psu (like it would have to be case central?) then goodbye thermals and component performance will vary wildly by case design.
Wireless is not necessarily better or the future. Yes its convenient in some applications like Wi-Fi on mobile phone but just like in the case of internet the wired connection will always be champ.
Tldr: No absolutely not unless we find a better way to delivery power wirelessly than induction (unlikely)
