    Instead of simply clicking fullscreen on a video in science class, our teacher likes to manually expand the window to fit the screen with the annoying bright blue bars all around the video. It might not bother some people, but it definitely bothers me... Especially when there's a mouse cursor in the middle of it...

    Same here, it's like there's no such thing as a DoS because everyone calls everything a DDoS even when it's not. I try not to pay attention to it, but after awhile it gets annoying because almost no one at my school knows anything about tech.
    Another story:
    One time in class I showed my friend a graphics card on one of our school's laptops, and he thought it was just a cooling fan.

    What also makes me mad is that people think Beats and consoles are better than anything else. So many people don't even know what Sennheiser is that it makes me sad.

    After reading through this thread a bit more, I remembered something that happened last year in 7th grade:
     
    In my English class we had to write about the differences between a laptop and a desktop. From there it just went downhill. Of course, me being a "techy" person, I explained it quite a bit. When the teacher called on half the class, they didn't know what to say. Finally the teacher called on this one student who thought he knew everything about computers... Wanna know what he said? He kept spitting out random words like "The... the motherboard is... and... the thing, the wam (yes, wam), the.. the..." and didn't explain ANYTHING. What kills me is that the teacher then said "None of us are as techno as you, but good answer." 
     
    Some weeks later in a different class (with the same student) our teacher put up separate images on our Smartboard. The teacher pointed at the RAM and asked "What is this?" Sadly, he chose that "techno" student who said it was the motherboard. (mega facepalm)

    This literally just happened....
     
    I asked my friend what computer he has and he responded with "HP 2014." He then told me that his computer is better because he gets 200fps in Minecraft, and his computer is at "5ghz usage." I said he doesn't know what he's talking about, but still, he said his computer is better and that he does know what he's talking about. 
     
    After that I just gave up talking because he wouldn't listen to me. I really feel bad for people like him.

    Yesterday in my school (8th grade), I was in a group with 4 other people, and one of them was trying to import videos from a Flip video camera onto a school laptop. First he looked all around the camera saying "How do I even plug this in?" and the teacher had to come help him. Secondly, when he did plug it in, he waited a few seconds and said "This is so slow!!" After that he needed 2 other people from a different group to come help him import the videos...
     
    The part that makes me sad is that he was bragging 2 weeks ago about getting an Alienware for Christmas because he thinks "They're built to be extremely fast." I wanted to ask what specs he has and tell him about building computers, but I decided it wasn't worth it.

    My friend saying, in a Skype call, "My processor is at 4.74ghz when it's only supposed to go up to 3.60ghz." When I asked him where he was reading 4.7ghz, he said, "It's an A8-5600k with 4 server windows open."
     
    (Just to add on to that, he installed a 1200w PSU and a reference GTX 760 into his pre-built system recently without telling me about it. He even showed me a picture of it, and he has the stock cooler on his A8)

    Superarragon reacted to brownninja97 in Cryorig H5: hyper 212 is now DEAD   
    So lets just break this down, i dont want you to think ive put out a title like this for no reason because something will shock you big time.
     
    It has four 6mm copper heatpipes
     
    Its bigger then the hyper 212 but it still has full ram compatibility
     
    6 bloody  years of warrenty SIX YEARS, so if your heatsink suddenly explodes then you are covered, i think
     
    A 140mm fan with 65cfm at 1200rpm(goes from 700 to 1300rpm)

    It has "hive" technology which reduces turbulence which means air can get from one end to the other end quicker 
     
    Furthermore they have somehow done all of this without the use of solder because trees man TREES.
     
    Also with the combination of the hive system and a standard heatsink they have created another technology which quote "happened by accident" acting as a propelling system slingshotting air faster which doesnt directly affect the heatsink temps but it airs heat to get out of the case faster which is nice, air pockets suck.
     
    dimensions:    L140 mm x W140 mm x H13 mm

    Another thing to note is that the pictures on their website are bigger then 4k, a little odd.
     
    Pricing, brace yourselves its crazy
     
    UK: £28
     
    Euros: 34
     
    US: $46.99 (manufactured in the UK so prices are higher for you guys haha).
