Got any tech confessions?

I'm thy fathers son, confess thy technology sins and thou shalt be welcome into his kingdom of steam.

 

All joking aside I was curious, got any tech confessions?

I'll start:

Whenever I'm reading temperatures on my computer I read them in Fahrenheit because it's the only temperature measurement system I can actually quantify (I live in the US) and then when I go to post them somewhere or tell someone about them I convert them to Celsius.

I can't relate to hardware temperatures in Fahrenheit and I can't relate air temperate to Celsius.

I once bought a prebuilt that I could have built myself for $300 less. Also, the way they wired everything was complete shit and they even used solvent on some wires.

 

I still use the computer but I have a different GPU and PSU now.

Performance expert, building noob. 

There is no such thing as excess in hardware.

to go against your temp confession, I can only read hardware temps in celsius, because I know whats good/bad for hardware temps in celsius, but if you told me your CPU was 100F I wouldn't know what to tell you xD.

 

As for my confession, I usually buy parts one by one as I can afford them :x

 

 

 

I don't care enough about tech to do a degree in it. 

Sounds like the smartest move you can make

But you're not using a stock cooler on a K series cpu, right.. RIGHT?!

I had my Pentium G3258 at 4.9 with the stock cooler...

Surprisingly cool like idle was 40c and load was like 60c. It was also fairly quiet, I didn't do any manual curve on the CPU cooler but all my fans in my case are always running at 30%.
