Hey look, that's a screenshot of my post, almost 10 years ago!

are you still running your signature specs? that's a 10+ year old rig right there! 

AMD Phenom II overclocking is the video that got me watching linus in the first place. 
Plus the stories of Slick and his mineral oil rig. 

it inspired me to make my first PC build, which was a Phenom II in oil in a custom case that I built. 

We can't Benchmark like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to shove more GPUs in your computer. Like the time I needed to NV-Link, because I needed a higher HeavenBench score, so I did an SLI, which is what they called NV-Link back in the day. So, I decided to put two GPUs in my computer, which was the style at the time. Now, to add another GPU to your computer, costs a new PSU. Now in those days PSUs said OCZ on them, "Gimme 750W OCZs for an SLI" you'd say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had two GPUs in my rig, which was the style at the time! They didn't have RGB PSUs at the time, because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big green ones.

I had an old account here I deleted when I was changing usernames. It's awesome that the forum is still going strong today. Even with the massive social media platforms, it's nice to have a small (by comparison) community still operating like the olden days of the internet. Here's to another decade, regardless of what direction the internet goes in!

I just came across this form last week and love it. If he talks about it in his videos, then I feel stupid.

Main "Rig"=HP 11A G6 EE

Android Tablet

Raspberry PI Zero W 2

If you have any fun ideas for things for me to do with my PI, send me a direct message. 

I plan to upgrade within a few months to a proper computer.

Good forum. Its actually one of the nicest, least toxic places I visit on the internet. I feel like even when people disagree the arguments are mostly respectful. And people are very helpful.

 

Cheers!

Ayy my 10 year anniversary on these forums is coming up. It's crazy, when I started hanging out on here I was in high school, now I've got 2 degrees, a great career, an amazing wife, and a couple pups. I stopped watching LTT for 4 or 5 years and they suddenly went from 10ish employees to... Whatever the fuck they're at now.

 

So uh... Move hot deals back towards the top of the sections. It used to be sick, but it's been damn near dead for 7 years. I know a part of this is the drop in great PC deals, but I saw a substantial drop in the usage of that section once it was moved a while back. Alright, that's my "old man yells at cloud" segment.
