I scored huge

[Billy_Mays]

I got my very first GPU for $40 snow pesos it was listed as "Broken" but little did he know he messed up and he gave me a 1080p gaming rig for $290 snow pesos long time but I thought I needed a new PSU because my 770 was thermal shutdown because it was 50c on idle with the old TIM but with the stuff that came with my M9A it dropped 20c on idle and I couldn't even load Furmark before reapplying the TIM but now for 10 minutes it didn't even touch 71c it only went up to 70c boy I was happy when @STRMfrmXMN told me to reapply the TIM and it made me jump for joy once I found the temps out it was too crazy to believe myself I scored the most important part for the cheapest besides the case but the storage the mobo and monitor costed me $0, man getting a corrupted copy of windows is great for people that don't know what happened it's just crazy how 4 and a half months can do and my build costed less than my laptop but doubles or triples the performance of it but this has been a long ass time waiting but one thing I learned even more is my patience it's a huge player in the world it's so crazy how stuff can go from sour to sweet in time but this couldn't be possible without @Zando Bob he is a great guy he helped me find out what the problem was we thought it was a PSU issue but @STRMfrmXMN told me to repaste my 770 and it ain't rocket science it's as simple as putting a aftermarket cooler on your CPU it's really simple

I got my GTX 970 for $108 Murican' dollars from a dude who listed it on ebay as "no display". It liked to only post to the top DVI connector, so I guess that's where he messed up.

Nah, he's just exited. He though he was going to need a new PSU because his 770 kept crashing and thermal throttling. @STRMfrmXMN told him to repast the card, he did, and it dropped 20 degrees and now runs stable. Which is awesome, since he only payed $40 CAD for the "broken" card. I think he's got some speakers/headphones and a new monitor on the way, so he can complete his gaming setup.

 

The post may may be hard to read, but just skim over it and you'll get the main gist of it.
