Umm... About that CPU part.. You are supposed to put a small dot (about the size of a piece of rice) in the middle and spread it with the heatspreader as you put the cooler on..

@Lord Pantaloons had a run in of this problem when he opened up his EVGA cooler..

^^ You know it's bad when there's so much suction force from the TIM that you have to double check that you removed all the screws and then pry it apart with a screwdriver.

Well I think I've come up with a way for EVGA to increase their margins on their graphics cards...

one of my idotic cocksucking classmates told me that his a4 laptop can play shadow of mordor at ultra with 70fps LOOOOOOL

Maybe at 1024×768.

Nope, not even close. What about 154p?

yeah, never heard a sane person say #APPLEMASTERRACE cuz then there's a problem. I don't really like iOS but I encourage Apple for making a small phone (minus the 6 plus) because women tend to have issues with putting phones in their usually non-existent pockets and have smaller hands.

As somebody who has smaller hands (for a guy), the 5s and even the basic 6 are nicely sized.

 

Yeah, but a lot of women carry huge ass bags around with them with enough room to fit an mITX lan rig if you were so inclined (or 10 million things that guys would never think of taking with them), and there are quite a few who store it in their bra rather than a pocket. NGL it's a safer place than a pocket.

 

ultra 240p maybe?

 

Is that even really ultra though?

I was screwing around in command prompt at school. This kid literally gets up and yells, yeah, the whole room is silent "OMG SO-AND-SO IS HAXXING!"

 they also do not believe thats pc's have had the same graphical power for 2 or 3 years now. 

They haven't.

well I have an a8 6600K does that mean my computer is 6600 times faster?

No. Clearly the K signifies thousands, so it'd be 6,600,000x faster.

You might want to check the date on those posts. I don't quote anything older than a month.

I've been away for a while. I'm catching up.

I think they used more than $5 worth of TIM on that.. Also, Imagine how hard that would be to take off if you waited 2-3 more years.. Time to grab the truck and tie a rope to the cooler.

Lol.. My school doesn't have regedit or MSCONFIG blocked but they finally blocked Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc... :( Now when a computer freezes, I can't restart explorer as all of the computers are slow Athlon B22's and then the cheapest Chromebooks you can find.. Look at the Samsung Chromebook. You can bend it with ease... :/

Didn't hear anything about a Chromebook #bendgate - wonder what that says about Chromebooks, Apple and people in general.

Its just poor construction... At least they don't stay bent.

Ah, now the laws of physics dictate* that things can be un-whatevertheywere'd so I'm pretty sure one could unbend an iPhone. That said, it may not function well afterwards, but then again phones don't always function well when bent either so that's to be expected.

 

 

*most of the time. Sometimes they let things do what they want.†

 

 †Like earphones, which will always tangle no matter how neatly you put them away, or eggs which can never be uncooked and often can't be unscrambled.‡

 ‡This might be a nod to the Pratchettian Method of Footnotes found in most books because they're more interesting to include than chapters.

Yeah, companies make money whenever women buy purses so that's why they don't get pockets...

And wouldn't having an iPhone pressed against your boobs just feel, I dunno, a little strange....?

I saw one day in a local grocery store someone carrying her phablet (couldn't tell what, but I'm pretty sure it was bigger than 5" just by looking at the size) that way. Just... Wha...? Can't people use pockets nowadays or just a purse? (funny, as she had a purse with her, but she carried her phone in her bra. What the heck was she thinking?)

 

Sometimes, I wish that I could just move far away from here... To be surrounded by more intelligent people as opposed to more or less idiots...

Never trust my advice. Only take any and all advice from me with a grain of salt. Just a heads up.

You're less likely to have it stolen...and if someone tries to they've got two valid claims against them (not just theft) AND probably witnesses to it. And it'd be a lot easier to notice than something in a pocket (particularly a back pocket - why I don't keep my wallet there).

well lots of people carry phones in their back pocked (i do). But most only do it because a big phone (6+") feels uncomfortable in a front pocket.

I've always carried everything in my front pockets. It's safer and feels better to me 'cause you don't sit on whatever's in your pockets :P
