Posted May 27, 2014 Yes! WD Blacks are really loud otherwise... But now I can barely hear mine! (My WD Red on the other hand is extremely quiet...) I use it for anti-vibration mostly. The drive would shake the entire HDD/SSD bay. It's made of metal, so you can imagine the noise was pretty gnarly.

Posted May 27, 2014 Don't hoover the fan filter while the fans are running. I managed to break an AF140 doing that, snapped a blade off, then super glued it back on and managed to slice through my thumb while holding it for the glue to set.

Posted May 27, 2014 That reminds me... Last year when I was overclocking my Pentium 4, I ghetto made a watercooling loop with some stuff I borrowed from my friend.

Posted May 27, 2014 LN2 CPU overclocking. Not recommend unless you know what you are doing. (I don't do this on my main computer) Voltage hacked MSi Afterburner to give me +100mV. Really bad idea, the extra performance is not worth it, but it's still pretty cool I thought I had more, but for now, this is it That's how I burned out my MSI GTX 770 Lightning.

Posted May 27, 2014 before i got my new mobo, i was using a trashy prepriotary acer thing. decided to get a corsair h110 but despite the mounting bracket being the correct one for my socket cpu, due to it being prepriotary, i could only get 3 of the 4 screws through the holes for the bracket. needless to say, it wasnt cooling very well tl:dr AIO cooler was only connected by 3 screws cuz of prepriotary BS How do Reavers clean their spears? |Specs in profile| The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend.

Posted May 28, 2014 My cable management is pretty sloppy on the other side of my mobo tray. Maybe not quite as bad as slicks but still ugly. Doesnt really bother me though cos isnt that the whole point of routing/hiding cabling? Who cares if it is messy where it will never been seen.

Posted May 28, 2014 Dont't leave your case open when it's under table. You may put your foots to fans, pull out GPU etc.. :lol: Did that one and got piece of my toe nail cut right off from a case fan. I almost shit myself. Don't own an iMac Or any Apple product. Cutting a can just to improve a bit wireless range Ghettooooo! don't use your pc as a toilet ewwwwww! that is naassstttyyyy!

Posted May 28, 2014 Well, I put my plate of food on my PC all the time. It is not recommended by me because i lost a motherboard that way. Some sauce from some stew chicken ran off the plate and on my ram slots and killed my motherboard. At that time it was a biostar something or other. A water-cooled mid-tier gaming PC.
