Well looking at the numbers after adding the extra fan I think it really was just trapped air being my issue. I just ran Black Ops 2 for about an hour and it peaked at 58C unlike the 73C it was before. As for the paste, the heat sink was moved around a bit trying to lock it down without the instructions but I don't recall actually lifting it up. And BTG, the CPU is a AMD FX-8350 Black Edition.

Not sure actually. It was taken like 4 years ago and he's since upgraded his camera. I just know it wasn't cheap. When we got it for him my mom said to him "this is an early christmas present, as well as your next 2 birthdays."

Watch but not help, eh? Preparing to work on some projects. Just need to get my priorities sorted out.

I'll look into the ready to go one then. Though I do have some doubts about the thermal paste since this computer is no more than a month old. When we were installing the CPU fan though we did have some initial trouble clipping it down since the instruction book showed a completely different model than mine for some reason. Maybe that messed up the paste?

If you try cool down your motherboard by washing it off you might be an idiot.

Omg just found another one. This must be several years old but it's probably the best picture of me there is right now. It was taken by my dad, an actual photographer so that's probably why. XD Hair is shorter in this than it is now. Now my hair would have gone well off the camera.

Testing out something with my PC.

So I'm currently doing some fan layout experiments on my tower and figured while I let the numbers reach their average I'd ask about something. So my default fan layout is pretty standard, 3 intakes on the front, and an out fan on the back. The temperatures are pretty much safe range, with the CPU in the yellow when running a select few games (Witcher 3 and Black Ops 2 mostly) but I just want to be sure. So I tried moving the out fan from the back to the top thinking that having the air vent up into the room instead of into the more enclosed area behind it might help and saw the temperatures actually rise. There's a dust filter on the top so I'm guessing heat's getting trapped in their and not venting out as well. Right now I'm running 5 fans instead, one out on top and one out on back just to see if that vents the heat better. Yes I know about the whole positive airflow thing, this is just a test to see if air getting trapped inside. Question though, if staying with the standard still keeps my temperatures high, is there any suggested alternatives? CPU is the only thing that seems nearing the danger zone. I briefly considered water-cooling for the CPU but my friend told me that's a monster to deal with so I'm not doing that unless it hits actual dangerous ranges. Also if you can't tell, if my computer knowledge were a skill in oblivion, it'd be around 15.

2351 - another number of insignificance to me

So I found an old picture of when my mom discovered the webcam on her macbook and I photobombed her FB profile pic.

These are the games that have stood out to me beyond the rest of games I like: Bloodborne - Beautiful game both in visuals and gameplay. Wolfenstein: New Order - overall great game but I just love the method of storytelling they used in this; specifically the whispered thoughts of the protagonist. Risk of Rain Terraria FTL: Faster Than Light - These 3 games are shining examples of how amazing a game can be without needing a 3rd dimension. Dying Light - Pretty much everything I ever wanted in a zombie game. Could use some improvements but one of the best imo. S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripyat - To this day possibly the best gun-based open-world(ish) RPG I've played Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - I recommend TES as a whole, but I recommend this above all else. The controls and gameplay are highly outdated but of the series it has THE best story. It's worth it for that alone. I've played the game for years and i still haven't seen everything it has to offer. Final Fantasy 7 - Had some of the most memorable character of the series(even if the derivative works did kinda mess up Cloud. He wasn't ever THAT emotional in the original game. He was very sarcastic) and the gameplay holds up very well. People underestimate how creative you can get with the materia system. Starcraft series - One of my favorite Si-Fi universes of all times. Gameplay is both balanced and fun and the universe and characters are extremely well written.
