not to many crazy things but I put the MOBO in wrong once and that was bad and shocked my MOBO and killed it with staic.

Forgot to buy thermal paste when I ordered my new mobo and cpu. Now I have to wait... 

Wishing leads to ambition and ambition leads to motivation and motivation leads to me building an illegal rocket ship in my backyard.

I guess it would be the mess of cables in my Q8200 rig. You should never buy a non-modular power supply.

Whoever needs all these cables probably has a case big enough to actually manage them.

I was trying to overclock my C2D E7500.

But my motherboard doesn't support overclock, because its an OEM motherboard.

So I decided to try PLL based overclock (I forgot that software name).

My PLL ID was not there. So I tried all the PLL ID from the start to end. It was like 90 or around 100 of them.

I ended up setting up one by one and try to set the clock speed only a little. But it always ended up crashing the OS.

So 100 times I hard restarted my computer! :P
