Your wife gave you a present that was really for her?  ?

 

 

Pretty much. She's going overboard with the X99 requests.

My Ex still lives.

No gf and I don't celebrate Christmas.

Running a top-of-the-line 280mm liquid cooler on a $50 dual-core Pentium - unconventional, I'll give you that

All part of the master plan. First AIO (Pentium ran at 80C+ on a 212EVO with the fan maxed, and for reference my Q6600 runs at 50-54C with the fan at 650RPM), and then later on down the line a 4790K.

 

Even WITH this monster, I still regularly run in the low-60s. Pump speed and fan speed make zero difference in temps, so it all boils down to the IHS contact on my CPU.

Someone gave me... BEATS. YES. THE ONES BY DR. DRE. Those horrible things.

[Ryujin2003]

4 GB USB 2.0 thumbdrive. WHY?????

 

I think I'll glue some Legos on it and make it cooler.

I built her a X99 build for her birthday. She's been making me upgrade her rig from what it already is.

Nice.  Sounds like she appreciates your skills.  ?

Just a little..  ?

 

But on your side too.  (Complimenting your computer building skills.  Or trying to.  ?)

Does it atleast have audio jack?

[JoaoPRSousa]

The fact that I didn't get any tech related gifts?

Nope. It's one of those fancy wakeup-lights (which I hate by the way).

 

And the lightbulb is broken, so it doesn't even work. And now I have to go and spend my money on a replacement bulb and I can't refuse to do it, because then my mom would get mad at me for "not valuing her gift"

 

So yay. I'd take my fifth soldering iron over this any day of the week

[Paytend01]

I got an I phone dock...

 

Spoiler

4gb of DDR4 ram.....

My motherboard only supports up to DDR3

[Gazereths]

Feel free to send me your unwanted soldering irons I got a variable temp one for xmas and it's great!

 

I got a USB flexible light, kinda useless as I have a crap ton of LED torches that I use in a pinch, there's pretty much always one to hand. Might be useful to take with me on holiday as a laptop accessory though.

[bloob16]

I given ddr4 when I can only use ddr3

A smart dildo with built-in camera and RGB lighting from Corsair.

People are smart enough not to buy me things I don't ask for, so I rarely ever get something bad

I would, but I can't really chance it since it's the only chip I have, and with my luck I would bust the damn thing.
