Random Thoughts....

Guy on Newegg reviewing a CPU cooler said:
Pros: Only $40, not $70.

Cons: Okay, where do I begin. In order to fit this cooler into my case I broke off the top fin and sawed off the tops of the heat pipes. What I saw inside shocked me. Instead of full copper heatpipes, they were hollow on the inside with a thin layer of copper. I loaded up my system;
Stock Heatsink Idle: around 35 degrees c idle, load 85.
New (better) heatsink: reaches 70 degrees c idle, reached 110 degrees c before I pressed the button to turn it off.

Other Thoughts: This is a piece of cheap hardware and I don't know why it did not work as splendidly as everybody elses did. I hope that, if you're are still buying this, that it works better for you. The worse part is I don't know if the manufacturer will honor the warranty due to the modifications I made.

:blink: Wat?
 
Pros: Looks pretty.

Cons: If you are planning on doing a mass installation of this particular heat sink/fan assembly think about getting a different one. It can take up to 20 min to install this, when you have 1700 systems to build that adds up fast. I do not recommend getting this product as it will destroy your hands and your soul.

If you value the safety of your hands and family I would suggest getting a clip in type of fan assembly.

Wow, not only does it overheat your processor, but it kills your family and devours your soul!
 
Back to school tomorrow, Up at 5:45, out of the house at 6:20, at school at like 7:20, home at 4:00. Fuck my life!

19 and don't like pr0n? :blink:

And what does having a girlfriend have to do with not downloading porn? My last girlfriend liked porn.

*sigh* I really should have known better.

Yes, a 19 year old heterosexual male does not like porn.

And no I don't stay in a basement playing WoW, I actually do get out and do stuff.



To me I see no appeal in it, and it's just boring. And that's good for you your ex girlfriend enjoys porn.

My classes start at 8 in the morning, which means up at 7 at the latest, and my day isn't done till 10 at night when I get off work (occasionally 11 or even a bit later if there's some event going on). I know the feeling. Of course I have breaks and down times when I'm not in classes or at work, but it's a long day anyway you slice it, then throw in the fact I don't get really sleepy till about 1 AM and I really know how a long day goes.

EDIT: And I've just remembered I have Calc homework I was supposed to have ready in the morning. Good start to a new semester.

I know that. What I was implying is that just because he has a few souls that he devoured (as according to his title) doesn't necessary mandate that he has one of his own. I have yet to see proof that blond people, japanese people, asian cars & Apple computers have souls.
 
I'm thinking about moonlighting at Geek Squad, since I'm still working 3rd shift for the foreseeable future, and I could probably make a cool $250/week just working part time and doing nothing but running programs on a CD.

But it's Geek Squad. Someone talk me out of it.
 
Ack...it's my second week of school. Those of you who are just now starting: good luck. At least y'all got an extra week of rest!
 
First day of school for me today.

^I can't wait to finish uni.

Engineering's such a badly run course its not funny.
 
^ 4.5 weeks until I finish everyday classes. Then 2 weeks of nightmarish study, 6 HSC exams and then 4 months of FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

In other news, dad doesn't really understand the magnitude to which his computer is fubared.... or he didn't until he looked at it himself. Hopefully getting repaired tomorrow.
 
15 days until end of school term for me. Then a short two week break and then back into it.
 
^ Ah yes you weird backwards everything. With your seasons all mucked up, so it's currently winter. :p

I go back tomorrow for my last year of school, during which I have to navigate the utter joys of UCAS and personal statements. Oh the joys of applying for uni - I'm not feeling them yet.
