That moment when you don't know what it's like to have your CPU at under 80C load temp 

Just saw this randomly, muh cpu runs 40c under load... not really worth the investment in a custom loop TBCH

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

Yep, that's what I'm saying.  Custom loop is nice but 10/10 should have gone air/aio with a 1080 ti or better monitor or something.

Just saw lastest YT video of RandomGamingHD (Searching For Cheap PC Hardware Scams Online) .... even though I have to deal with illogical users and even some "dumb" colleagues, it still amazes me that people fall for OBVIOUS scams, like $30 for a GTX 1080 or $10 for a 128GB flash drive.

$100 for a dead 1080 sounds eh alright..? 

$10 for a 8/16gb USB isn't that good but it's still 'decent'

Sometime though, those "too good to be true" prices are real! Just got 2x 16GB USB 3.0 drives at Walmart for $4.88 ... CAD.

 

I first thought it was a tag mistake, the price was "written" with those big "price signs" so I thought the 1 at the beggining had fell or something (that would've been $14.88 CAD and would've made sense). But no, it really is $4.88 for a 16GB USB 3.0 drive xD

Today, again, I has a customer who complained why she can't connect to her home wifi in Croatis while she's in Austria. But her phone has her wifi listes you know? Sigh. 

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

you tell me, My 32GB Corsair Voyager is dying and it's less than a year old, it can take minutes to transfer a files of a few KBs and it randomly unmounted twice when I was transfering GB files onto it. Filled an RMA but I haven't received a reply yet :(
