The fact that i'm still using an old GTX 570 in a brand-new build.

 

Waiting for maxwell =(

 

This is also holding me back from replacing my ancient, pre-LED era LCD monitor as i'm planning to upgrade to 1440p and I think that will require a new GPU first. (also waiting for G-sync here)

My CPU doesn't like being overclocked.

 

I am not happy with my cable management.

Could be vibrating dust filters.

I've checked on that. I've replaced all but one fan to my mobo so I can put them on completely silent  mode. No go :(. It seems that they are always running at a 100% no matter what I do. I'm probably gonna swap them out for higher quality ones and maybe do some case upgrades. On the bright side, my 4670k is running at 17 degrees idle and at most 70-75 degrees under prime 95 oc'ed to 4.4 ghz at 1.25 volts...at (get this) AIR COOLING!

I have this weird bug where the secondary monitor on my machine has really poor performance in Windows. I have tried all sorts of things over the last year but my GPU/Windows just doesn't seem to accelerate basic functions on that monitor and windows stutter across the screen. I just can't get that second monitor working properly and I barely use it because of the problems.

Also, my monitor has a dead pixel that is right on linus's face when I'm watching the wan show...

 

Have that pixel problem on mine too, but I don't think it's a dead pixel, must be some problem with twitch. The pixel's fine on anything else.

Actually it does use power when in sleep mode, but so small and insignificant amounts, that for us it's basically nothing. Maybe 1 or 2 Watts were talking about here...

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

My lack of a dedicated graphics card. I have integrated 2500, and it sucks.

In a perfect world, I'd have my PC specs here. However, my PC specs are embarrassing, so I'd rather not.

Well... In these cases you shouldn't round numbers down. Oh well... it's just a single Watt (if even that) after all. Not a big deal.

What HDD you got?

Hitachi 7200rpm 1tb, dunno exactly what brand, but I bought it in 2011

Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea, Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof.

As I get older I get angrier more cynical, meaner. I feel some warning posts coming. I feel a ban coming. I was warned.

That i didnt get the corsair air 540. I saw that case and fell in love with it. I have my phantom 410, to much cheap, shiny, scratchable plastic.
