    Were those unused files or something similar? That's a lot storage!

    decided that after managing to pick up programming AVR chips baremetal quite easily rather than cheating and using arduino all the time that I would try the same on an MSP430, I have LEDs and they are blinking, fucking fuck yeah.

    I just played Skyrim for a while and temps didn't go over 50. I love having a proper cooler.

    Also I just accidentally MarkForDelete'd Alduin. Fuck.
    Gonna SetStage the shit out of the main questline...

    That was what? About 280GB? I just cleaned from ~630 to 226. It took forever. D:

    me? i probably cleaned out about 400+GB worth of stuff

    also did you just go manually find all the files and delete them? you should have used windirstat, makes cleaning out everything MUCH easier

    I just purchased an i7 5930k.

    My problem now is what I've been hearing about the new motherboards owing to manufacturers rushing them out. I need reccommendations!

    Don't normally hear anything against asus motherboards. Problems galore with laptops and tablets. But PC motherboards and GPUs they seem to nail.

    I owned an Asus board before this one and had no problems. They are pretty reliable from what I've heard and seen

    Yeah, I have an ASUS board right now. Hell even an asus laptop. I normally trust Asus as their stuff has always been fairly bulletproof in my experience. I'm just hearing bad things about the x99 boards and apparently Asus had dropped the ball on this one. Can't hurt to crowdsource more opinions :p

    Hmm. Basic blink program for MSP430G series launchpad.
    The version written using a bare metal C compiler from texas instruments themselves with all optimisations turned off, 368 bytes, also capable of blinking upto 8 LEDs at once with no impact on code size or speed (however all 8 will be in same state at once and must be wired to the same I/O port).
    A version written using Energia (a port of Arduino to MSP430 devices instead of AVR) uses 668 bytes. That expands to 690 bytes for a second LED with a slight slowdown too. By default, optimisations are enabled.

    Its easier to understand arduino/energia programs. Much more newbie friendly to just say
    Code:
    pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
    digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
    
    to set the 13th pin on an arduino board to output mode and then write a high voltage to it. People generally understand that.
    They don't necessarily understand that pin 13 corresponds to I/O PORT B pin 5 or that the code to do the above would be
    Code:
    DDRB |= 0b00100000;  //0x20 is also an acceptable alternative as is 64
    PORTB |= 0x20;
