filling up a hard drive will slow thing down

depends it wont actualy read it at boot it wil start at the mbr and then start windows depending on what is set to launch at boot will determain how fast all is loaded. just dont install stuff with the express settings so it will all start loading at launch.

Besides the start of a HDD is faster then the end so windows will on general be installed at the start (does not apply to SSD's though).

To freeze a HDD. Can't remember what issue I had with it but apparently it was a viable solution.

 

It didn't work.

1) Always use tons of thermal paste when installing your CPU

2) Antistatic is a myth. It cant kill your Hardware

3) When Shopping for a GPU/CPU always compare the Specs, even though you compare different chips

4) PSU Wattage doesnt matter. When your PSU doesnt have enough power some components will not run but thats fine.

5) Changing stuff in the BIOS kills your PC

6) You can definitly use it in your PC. (For almost any HW you buy in a shitty retail store)

7) Install Tune Up it speeds up your PC

8) Use as many Anti Virus Programs as possible for the best protection

 

I think thats all bad advice ive ever got.

I never really got an advice, but I've heard some crazy shit from 14 year olds. 

"I have an i7 and I can play hardcore games at ultra settings" (Does not even have a GFX Card.)

"My Laptop is better than your Desktop PC." 

 

I can't really remember anything at the moment

Legitimately thought I got pranked all those years ago when I read it. Was funny at the time because my then boss tried the same thing and then went onto rapidly moving his arm from a horizontally stretched out position into his chest.

An 8350 is better than a 4770/4790k in every way.

You don't need an ssd, who cares if your game takes a second to load compared to 1 minute?!?!?
