Good idea: Waterproof computers.

Hell for me? It'd have to be a lack of being able to learn from my mistakes combined with immortality.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this part... From Wiki... Doesn't look like it's that big of a thing to be able to get cyanide out of it...

Overclocking outside of motherboard
BTGBullseye replied to Doublenature's topic in Computer Hardware
1. Put a really small glob in the center of the top of your CPU. (about the size of half a grain of rice) 2. Spread the past/grease around until it covers the entire surface of the CPU as much as possible. 3. If it doesn't cover the entire surface, repeat steps 1 & 2. 4. If the heatsink area that contacts the CPU & thermal grease is anything but perfectly smooth, skip step 5. 5. If you can scrape some off without getting all the way down to the CPU itself, do it. 6. Put on the heatsink, push down and try to rotate-wiggle it a little bit to help get the thermal grease everywhere. Just get lighted case fans, they are easier to mount and usually the same price as dedicated internal lighting. Other than that, I don't suggest you install internal lighting yourself. (it's usually a pain) -

I've heard a lot about them, but have never used one. (I usually only recommend cooling solutions I've personally tested) Yes indeed, this can be extremely helpful if you're not experienced with thermal paste/grease. -

BTGBullseye replied to Doublenature's topic in Computer Hardware
Yes indeed. Gigabyte tends to put their custom coolers on cards in the price range that others leave the stock coolers, and they generally have a better default OC than other brands. Generally. You might want to try out OpenHardwareMonitor as another option for monitoring temps and clock speeds/multipliers. http://openhardwaremonitor.org/ As long as it's not the default stock stock cooler it doesn't matter the brand usually. Here's my suggestions for the CPU cooler, if you're interested... Enermax ETS-T40 VEGAS DUO COOLER MASTER X6 Elite Thermaltake Frio Advanced Or if you're willing to spend a bit more for a bit better cooler... ZALMAN CNPS9900MAX-R Phanteks PH-TC14PE -

I used to be a 'GM' (equivalent to D&D's 'DM') in Shadowrun.

Well, I con only get about 15 FPS max speed on Arma 2 OA at min settings when cutting the resolution down to 720p... If I get a better computer I might do something with DayZ, but not before.

Sounds like a cross between D&D and Shadowrun.

Multiple Personality Order. I have it too, but my characters seem to vary quite thoroughly from day-to-day.

You could use Afterburner... http://downloads.guru3d.com/Afterburner-2.0.0-Final-download-2562.html Be very careful OCing any AMD product though... They have a reputation of burning up instead of auto-shutting down like they're supposed to if you start overheating them. Slow slight increment increases in speeds, and don't let it exceed 75c. Might also want to take off the stock heatsink and replace the stock thermal grease with some better stuff, like Prolimatech PK-1. (or PK-2 or PK-3, PK-3 is the best) You could also look into an aftermarket heatsink. (like this one: Prolimatech MK-13 -
88/100 No reason in particular... It just seemed like a nice round number.

9.9/10 Very true. If life were fair I'd be making big bucks through online hardware reviewing. -
