Posted March 16, 2015 Linus always says test your components before putting them inside But what if you dont have something to test them with and the only pc you have is the one your building. Nvidia is to Dr Dre Beets as AMD is to KFC.One makes you broke, the other you can get more of and have a midnight snack from the fridge when hungry again. Once you go Nvidia, you go broked, turn into an Elitist, or get the incorrect amount of VRAM. - WCCFTECH I was only 9 years old. I loved Fifflaren so much, I had all the NiP merchandise and matches pirated. I prayed to Fifflaren every night before bed. Thanking him for the life I have been given. Fifflaren is love I say. Fifflaren is life. My dad hears and calls me a fuckhead. I knew he was just jelly of my passion for Fifflaren. I called him a Sw@yer. He hits me and sends me to go to sleep. I'm crying now, and my face hurts. I lay in bed and it's really cold. A warmth is moving towards me. I feel someone touching me. I feel someone touching me. It's Fifflaren. I am so happy. He whispers in my ear; "this is my pyjama". He grabs me with his powerful Swedish hands and puts me on my hands and knees. I'm ready. I spread my ass cheeks for Fifflaren. He penetrates my butt-hole. It hurts so much but I do it for Fifflaren. I can feel my butt tearing as my eyes start to water. I push against his force. I want to please Fifflaren. He roars a viking roar as he fills my butt with his love. My dad walks in. Fifflaren looks straight into his eyes and says; "He is a ninja now". Fifflaren is love, Fifflaren is life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 16, 2015 If your computer posts correctly the first time, you've done something wrong.jk. but that's really all part and parcel of building a computer! It's all a learning experience.Also Linus always says test your components before putting them inside That's. What. She. Said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 16, 2015 But what if you dont have something to test them with and the only pc you have is the one your building.you test them with those components before putting them in the case and if it doesnt post you just saved yourself 3-4 hours off assembly/disassembly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 24, 2015 I should get modular SuperFlower Golden King instead of non modular SuperFlower Golden Green PSU. PSU is great but it has so much cables that I had big problems managing them even with Define R4... Now I am afraid to open my PC just so that I dont have to deal with cables.
