Friends trying to show off Tech

[ultimatemythbuster]

People at my school think overclocking will kill your components. Idiots.

 

 

Others think that AMD CPUs are better than Intel CPUs

To give them a little credit, overclocking can kill the components.  But I imagine they think that any overclock at all will immediately kill the components.

So... he's showing off his mom's computer. I wonder what kind of computer he actually owns.

[Almercenary]

dat ax1200, gunna need that....someday

[Oisin Maguire]

in fairness it is an x58 platform (max of 48GB of random access memory a little bit shy of 500GB of ram)

[see the picture]

IT'S A F*CKING MODULAR PSU!!!

no its okay, because RAM= raw accumulated memory (according to him) so just give it a bit, my 8 gigs of ram is already up into the 90s! if its not working for you, try downloading more ram. over. and over.

I could do with downloading some more ram

I am on an after school trivia club team thingy. The game involves answering questions of varying fields (history, science, calculation, data structures, computer stuff, and so on) and naturally I do the computer and obscure stuff nobody else knows. The question went something along the lines of "What is the small but fast memory unit located on the central processor of a computer?" and immediately 3 of the people all say "Random Access Memory!". They are smart people but they just thought they knew a little bit more than they actually did.

 

Another time I was showing my friend how to build a kickass PC so he wouldn't be scammed buying a prebuilt. He was pretty enthusiastic about not getting scammed but then several months he is bragging about his alienware.

Can I cache in on that answer

 

 

 

Sorry

[The_Edster]

I was in a Skype call with my friend talking about his new gaming PC, me and him are always highly competitive with each other. I was looking at his specs that he sent me (His PC) and then he goes and says "Yeah, our PC's are pretty much the same". I literally almost fell of my chair laughing, it took me a while to explain that there was a reason his PC worth half as much as mine.. Oh yeah and I tried to make him build his own but he refused.

Oh man I so should have said that! I ended up just chuckling under my breath after giving the correct answer.

[Maslofski]

i had a friend who bought a laptop, and was telling me it had GTX 690 PENTA SLI, i dont think he even knew what SLI means

[Applepienation]

I know someone who was bragging about buying a 7770 for $200. I bought a 7850 for like $170 or something.

[Almercenary]

my brother used to try and be "tech savy" and make a complete cock of himself while I was laughing my ass off (:

[TheProfosist]

Whoo I just "love" people like this.

[aizdaman]

That was awesome.  I can only hope to achieve this level of awesome one day.

[Stefan Becker]

I managed to make one of my friends think, that PC hardware could look sexy.

 

We're like 4 PC gamers in my class. The rest is all fanboying over the PS4, thinking that it is sexy... Morons ;D

In all fairness, the PS4 is pretty sexy.

Kids at my school dont know what overclocking is. Let alone a cpu or a gpu or ram... you get the point

[SAV1OUR]

at least it isnt as bad as my little brother trying to show off about his wii and the tacking thing  

[Butterfish]

Every non-tech thinks Intel and Nvidia are the only brands thats worth buying.. AMD will just catch fire and burn down their house, along with their CoD collection..

[Corvus]

I feel bad for that computer...

As for "fails", going home to a friend in an attempt to troubleshoot his PC resulted in the conclusion that he had tried to insert the RAM the wrong way around. I have no clue how he could believe it would be fine with the RAM sticking out half way..

[Tuckfam]

I had a friend who wanted to switch from his AMD processor (which one it was escapes my mind) to 1155 because he wanted an i5 (what is it with people and thinking "i5" is a specific processor model anyway?).

His solution? Why, buy a new socket for his motherboard of course.

[Guest]

just got a funny text from a friend, labeled "you thought you had a cool computer,"

What does your PC looks like then?

[SkilledRebuilds]

update. so his moms boss built that computer, and now he wants the boss to make one for him this is my chance to save him.

You can't polish a turd... He seems to be one of those.... "types"

If you don't wanna be stressed,... Don't bother.
