EddieHero reacted to Cicada in [Build Log] Orange...something-something.
11/9/2015 - A Little Cosmetic Surgery
Took Rumikarimu's advice and heated it up a bit -- The emblem is attached with mounting tape. I used a tiny dab of super glue to re-apply it in the right orientation.

10/30/2015 - Watercooling Kit
Picked up the EK X360 Kit yesterday -- I'll be using most of this kit (pretty much everything except fittings and tubing, though I may use some for draining) for the loop.

EddieHero reacted to Cicada in [Build Log] Orange...something-something.
I'm not seeing the photo Just got my kit (still waiting on gpu block and 2nd rad) and planning out the loop right now -- the rad won't fit anywhere else other than where you mentioned (close to the window, and horizontally) -- the GPU is too wide for it to fit in the case's radiator mount under the 140mm fan.
the front radiator is thick, so that makes things difficult too. I wouldnt be opposed to a bit of dremel'ing to make the top radiator + fans to allow better visibility -- maybe i'll take a look at that.
and i stroke it....sometimes, i even flick it.

You don't need to take off the cooler to clean dust?

You can go for some Antec Formula 7, one of the best. and Best Buy sells it, (so that's nice because I live right next to one.)

EddieHero reacted to CaptainPebbleDash in What thermal compound to get for Intel Stock cooler
After a year of using a 4670k with the stock cooler I was getting a maximum of 65 on GTA5 with the stock paste. Went for some IC Diamond and my temperatures never went over 55, bare in mind the old paste wasn't in good condition but you'll only see a change of about 4-5 dependent on application of the TIM and your general temperatures.

No, he means you don't have to take the cooler off therefore you don't have to replace thermal paste. Plus, it's most likely a negligible difference, like I found with my own

sometimes re-applying thermal paste improves performance

You don't need to take off the cooler to clean it. Just use a duster can or compressed air and go to town.

EddieHero reacted to I need a better name in Unbox Therapy just uploaded a giveaway video
why do i feel that Linus could ask Intel to give him this many Xeon e5 2699 v3s and he would end up forgeting them out in the rain.

When you see your friends taking a picture of their computer screen when there's a screenshot button/When you see your friends taking their phone out to record a video of another video on their computer screen... This just happened to me and my friends just seem so surprised of being able to screenshot/record your screen.
Also, when you are building PCs on pcpartpicker but die inside when you can't buy any parts.

Me: "Click the Start button"
User: "What's the Start button"
Me: "Do you see the button at the bottom-left with the word Start on it, that you click every single day?"
User: "Oh, why do you gotta be so technical?!"

EddieHero reacted to Jonathan W in Dumbest Tech Questions/Quotes You've Ever Heard
oh man i wished i remembered the whole conversation..but ive been trying to get my buddy to ditch his console in favor of PC gaming for the last few months, even built him some lists on PCPP to show him how cost effective it can be
At work last night he hits me with the gem
"well pc games dont look much better than my ps4 or ps3"
he has never played a game on a quality pc in his life
sean- "I cant play pc games because i love my console controller"
me- "Sean you can plug your console controller into your pc"
sean- "Wut are you talking about youre full of shit that doesnt even make any sense"
s- "pc gaming is too expensive"
me- "you spent 600 bucks on your ps4 with camera and headset, and then another 70 to get a new controller and 50 bucks a year for online"
s- "yeah so?"
he makes me want to ragequit life sometimes lol
