    I shut my pc down every night, because it makes noise and it's in my bedroom. Therefore, it's "only" about 3 hours.

    TomvanWijnen got a reaction from Guest in Guess who's late for the WAN Show! #LinusLateTips   
    If you compare the USA to the Netherlands, the USA will start daylight saving at the 8th of March (I think) and the Netherlanda will start it at the 23rd of March (I think). So, usually the WANshow starts at 1:30 AM for me, but now for three weeks it'll start at 0:30 AM for me. Then, my time will go an hour forwards, and it'll be back at 1:30 AM for me.

    TomvanWijnen reacted to Meladath in GPU Sag - Is it still a problem today, if so, what are some common solutions to fix it?   
    I dont think this is the case at all.
     
    I have had over the last 2 years, 2X MSI Twin Frozr R9 280X, an ASUS DUII 770, and a sapphire R9 290 Tri-X.
     
    One of the 280X's had no sag, the other had a fair bit but not too much, the 770 was literally a banana and the 290 has been prefectly straight for months.
     
    The R9 280X's had no backplates and one had some sag the other didn't. The 770 HAD a backplate and sagged like a bitch, the 290 had a much larger cooler than both of them, no backplate and no sag at all.
     
    I think its just luck, or overall build quality of card.

    TomvanWijnen reacted to Arct1c0n in You kids have it so easy these days in building a computer....   
    You kids these days have it so damn easy in building computers. It's utterly amazing how much has changed when 14 years ago at this time, I was spending hours and hours between my college IT classes figuring out why the hell Intel was getting its ass kicked by this "AMD" company and why spending the money on this new "Geforce 3" was such a big deal compared to previous versions that ran Quake 2 just fine but Unreal squashed that.
     
     
    Back when I wanted to build my first computer in late 2000/early 2001 as a  young lad of 20 *God I feel old now* I had to go through a rirtual only other old, get off my lawn farts can understand now 
     
     
    1. There was no Youtube, social media, flash art to give you visual refrences on how to put stuff together. You went and got a "Build Your computer Bible " Version 28 book from Barns an Noble and marked pages
     

     
     
     
    2. You didn't have price search engines, you opened up multiple WINDOWS of etailers and compared prices side by side
     

     
     
    3. You spent SLOWLY modem dialing across  forums for hours on end dealing with "veteran builders" who kept ignoring you
     

     
     
     
    4. You had to still learn to use jumpers on your IDE drives correctly, or no booting for you. And God forbid if you bend one of the IDE pins
     

     
     
     
     
    5. Make sure you didn't crush your new Athlon GPU die by putting too much pressure on heatsink
     

     
     
     
    6.  USB was VERY MUCH "Plug and Pray" back in those days...
     

     

     
     
     
    7.  Driver downloads took half an hour on times on dial up modems
     

     
     
     
     
     
    8. BIOS'es were still big Blue and white screens of fear.  Good luck configuring boot up devices if you didn't understand with the included manual 
     

     
     
     
     
    9. LED lighting? Hah, didn't exist. You spent good money on a cold cathode to show of your pimped rig through the window YOU YOURSELF cut and installed
     

     
     
     
     
    10.  Dual CPUs?  On a single die? NO no, they had their own sockets. If you had a dual cpu setup, you were a farking god among men
     

     
     
     
    11. Overclocking was a true russian roulette game, with a mis firing gun.  You would spend hours on forums trying to get detailed information on what BIOS settings to tweak and NOT to touch. There was no preset and "forget" oveclocking, let alone Windows versions
     

     
     
     
    12. Boot to windows over USB? Whats that? 
     

     
     
     
     
    13. If your Windows key didn't take for whatever reason, have fun spending half an our on hold with microsoft. 
     

     
     
     
    14. Is your Soundcard or add on NIC card *most mobo's didn' thave onboard LAN* not working or crashing system? You got to play the PCI slot swapping and reinstalling gaming to find which one was the culprit
     

     
     
     
     
    15. All in one, prebuilt water cooling kits for $100? Pffffaa bwaa haa!! You had to spend $300 or more from DangerDen on DIY kit with tubing like garden hoses and pray to god your seals held on your waterblocks and self made reserviors. 
     

     

     
     
     
     
    16. Downloadable ISO's? Hah, you went to the store and bought your copy of Windows 98SE or Windows 2000 if you were a really rich pimp and prepared for hours long install with the CDROM drive spinning away
     

     
     
     
     
     
    17. Pre painted and sweet looking cases with good airflow? HAAA!!! Nope, you broke out the spray paint cans, the dremel and jigsaw and MADE your case look good and cool well. 
     

     

     
     
     
     
    18.   24-30 inch flat screen LCDs? Oh no, you were a pimp if you could afford a quality, 20" flatscreen Sony Trinitron that weighed 40 pounds that you lugged to LAN parties. If you were poor, you bought Viewsonic 19'' CRT monitor.
     

     
     
     
     
    19. If your dial up 56k modem was getting you downloads speeds of around 33 kbytes a second, God was smiling on you.
     

     
     
     
     
    20. Was your case getting to hot with that AGP graphics card and multiple hard drives?  You had to make your own blowhole, jigsaw style!  Or get real creative....
     

     

     
     
     
    21. Presleeved power supply cables and SATA cables? Haa!!!  What are those?
     

     
     
     
     
    22. If you couldn't afford a $300 CD burner, you got a Iomega Zip drive.
     

     
     
    23. You wanna listen to your Blink 182 music CD in full digital? Be sure you have this cable installed
     
     
     

     
     
     
     
     
     
     
    So be thankful you little digital rascals of what you have today. Now get off my lawn....   
     
     
    And after some googling, I actually found a archieved image of my VERY FIRST computer build back in May of 2001 with my very first case modding project based off the Enlight 7237 case which was vey popular back in the day. Wow....the feels....

    Well based on the amount of power that AMD cards have used in the past mixed with the amount of heat that they produce, I'd say that it probably could literally kill it with fire.
