Honestly after this week i just wish owned a mac and a console

  Hide contents

liek the problems that come from when I mess up my computer trying the BCLK OC

  Hide contents

but then will be able to survive the closed and restricted platform

  Hide contents

but then that would mean no more problems cause then i would have no more freedom to fuck shit up. 

  Hide contents

and i wanna play around cause then what is the fun then with custom builds

  Hide contents

you know what. Imma just gonna sulk and cry myself to sleep now

 

that reminds me i should go do some BCLK OC on the LAN PC. took me a while to realise how to do it properly, like not just raise the BCLK by 0.1 and then have it crash, you have to tweek RAM speed too so you dont push that beyond what it can do

you should probably get one of the B150 motherboard with a BIOS that unlocks the multiplier lol. just abandon this one because it sounds like you screwed it BAD

B150 motherboards don't have unlocked multipliers. Z170/Z270 motherboards do.

i dont think you were pressent at Skylake launch then, there were big news that some B150 motherboards had external clock chips with certain BIOS versions, these are BIOSes that were never shipped on ther boards but they are sometimes available on the manufactureres website or in other places. this is just a few, 5 or so of them, that have this capability but those boards are awesome. i know ASRock made one and i think there was an MSI and a Gigabyte one aswell.  the boards all need a BIOS downgrade to a pre-release BIOS or a Beta BIOS or an unofficial one from some other part for this feature to be unlocked however

While I won't go on everything, Apple was the first to create an OS with a GUI interface. So in a way, he is correct about that.

Apple bought the technology from Xerox. So...Yeah no

I'm aware of that, I wouldn't trust any of those bioses though. Especially the third party ones. The beta ones are not completely stable and I don't want that, to be booting what I rely on especially since I restart my pc a lot since I triple boot. The prerelease bios is usually just as stable since it wasn't going to ship with any motherboards, they wouldn't really debug it

i never told you specifically to get one, overclocking and maximum stability dont mix at all anyway. i told @DeezNoNos to get one seeing as he has messed up his current motherboard so bad doing BCLK overclocking on his locked chip. the BIOSes that support this should be fine anyway seeing as they are basically what the had on launch day(some of them might even just be the latest BIOS with the modification) with the core clock tweek enabled.

nah the best one was for me, was when I needed to explain to someone how to turn a monitor on, I have also needed to explain how to put a hyperlink into an email (by pressing the big hyperlink button, which took up 1/4 of the top bar), there is also a reoccurring thing of mapping a network drive (which yes I get that that isn't a normal thing people need to do, but I have explained how to do it to the same person about 15 times).

 

My favourite one was when a guy tried to sell me a PC, which parts was worth £150, brand new, for about £400, and when I said no, that's a stupid price lowered it to £300, and said that that was the lowest he'd go

i think you need to get better at explaining stuff man...

you say that, but I how do you explain, pressing three buttons and typing a password and username, in other way than press that, then that, then that, type in username, and password (which are the easiest and simplest things in the world, and I don't care as they don't need to be)

idk lol anyway just make a short video tutorial of it or something, so they can look at that instead of you haveing to explain everything again. probably worth the extra effort to never have to explain that shit again

fair enough, might do that, they are learning a bit, that being said they don't get the fact that they don't need 1TB of storage especially as they are only using 40GB of the 200GB storage from my NAS that I let them use. That just reminds me of when I needed to explain to someone how to play a video (different person)

No, I don't think any b150 mobos had that. If I recall correctly it was only h170 and z170 mobos and anyhow Intel shut that one down

Oh well, I guess it's like Doug DeMuro does with cars.  If they ask "is this what I should get?"  Just... yes.  They won't listen anyways.

And then they blame you for recommending it when the cheapo Chinese thing eventually breaks.

Probably my favorite experience with someone, would have to be at my previous job.

I worked with an MSP who had set up a new VDI environment with VMWare for a confidential client. About a day after it's online, I get a call from the CEO of said client. He asked where on his PC he could go to access his VDI, and insisted that i remote into his system in order to show him.

Low and behold, on his desktop was a lone shortcut with the name "%USERNAME%-VDI"

Needless to say his frustration dropped quickly after being shown where to locate his VDI.

nope B150 had them, i dont remember a single H170 motherboard with it though. Intel were increadably quick to shut it down but the BIOSes still exist and can be flashed to make it work

Really? Could you show me one?

 

I recall Supermicro demoing an h170 board with it but I don't know if it ever went on sale.

there you go, a bunch of ASRock ones, seems there were some H170 ones too, i never heard of those, they just slapped another lable on them and shipped them out lol

see, this is how you budget, cases are a waste of money

Nope not really, don't mind me but I have worked as an SI before 

On 2/27/2017 at 2:20 PM, Bananasplit_00 said:

i see neither of those components here, IMO spending cash on a nice case just because it looks nice IS a waste of money, looks dont give you more FPS

Also motherboards (a friend of mine went with my and 6600k over 6700k and gaming 5) but i get the point this needs to look cool, but I always give the same reply 1st performance

At least you know something's wrong. most people would think the motherboard slowed down the graphics because that's completely logical. 

I have heard that before
