That's why I don't mess with people's PC builds unless they are close friends.

Same... That poor poor motherboard and CPU. Ignorant people who think they know a lot about computers irritate the shit out of me. Especially when they're extremely stubborn and refuse to believe anything you say.

He belongs on this webpage: http://www.rinkworks.com/stupid/

After reading some of those I'm scared. Only people who have never seen a computer should do some of that stuff. The rest is just unbelievable, especially anything relating to a power cord...

I'm in 11th grade and I'm known as the "tech-guy", people come to me when they have problems be it a phone or a computer. This lad came to me wanting to build a custom pc. Ok, I picked out his parts, ordered them and built it. Everything was working 100%, I ran all the benchmarks. 

Prime 95 Furmark, fire strike, memtest etc. I give him the system and he was thinking ohhh I have a custom built PC so now I know everything. He went to best-buy, bought thermal compound and put it on the cpu. The next day he came to school telling me he had problems. I told him I would look things over and if need be RMA something. It was working before he put the thermal compound on so I started with the CPU. What I found was a mess. The socket was covered in it. He even put it on the pads of the i3 thinking the thermal compound on both sides would give him double the performance. RMA option is now gone.. Maybe I could clean it up some but ohh wait, he bend almost every pin on the mobo.. I tell him he needs a new mobo, maybe cpu and he tells me he wants a FULL refund as it's my fault and I broke it. 

 

 Last time I talked to him. 

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH IDIOT:PPPPP

What a colossal fuckwit, I tell people right from the start if they have me build or fix something that if they mistreat it I won't continue to fix it.

Hold up. why did he need to change the TIM? you said it was working and even ran benchmarks... I want to know what was going thru his mind at that moment when someone gives you a brand new custom build PC and goes, "im going to change this". This story hurts real bad.

Well if he applied the TIM you can tell him to go fuck himself with his refund.
