General computer talk/advice

As you can see, I store my spare motherboards in a safe anti static manner.

 

Eh. There's a T5500, several hard drives and a partially rebuilt IBM thinkpad sprawled all across my desk, where I regularly put clothes, food and other unsafe materials on. These damn things don't break, even if you subconsciously try to break them.

 

RIP cpu. i think mine is dying. Its an i5 4670k. I still get artifacts with the old gpu and motherboard. Anyone got ideas before i spend 300ish dollars on a new cpu? its gonna take a while to save that much.

edit
wow used cpu prices went down a TON since i last looked. much more affordable now

 

I should take some photos around my computer classroom. At least the PSUs are on a separate shelf... Oh wait...

 

It's ok, my poor 4690k has some heat stroke still. I damaged it a little having it overheat one too many times. It falls behind other 4690k's now, and it used to be a silicon lottery winner. Oh well, all the more reason for me to look into x99, I guess.

 

It's like those light tube things, (don't know what you call them), but when you're trying to break one, you cannot.

 

What?

 

Fluorescent tube lights. when you're TRYING to break one you can't..

 

Weakling

 

No no, i smashed it on the front of the step and it didn't break, only when you don't want to break them do they break.

 

Apparently... I can't say I've ever attempted to break one (because glass) but it doesn't take much to break them. Drop something on one. It will break.

 

I've broken one. Takes no effort, they're pretty fragile. Not even sure how its relevant to thread.

 

Please tell me you aren't talking about those mercury-thingies.

 

They are, don't worry. There isn't enough mercury in the lamps to harm a human.

 

So they lied to me? Good.

And always remember: It's just a prank. Bro.

 

I'm a little skeptical of CPU-Z's benchmarks software, fairly sure even at 4.5GHz I doubt my I5 would keep up with a I7 4670k.

 

CPU-Z benchmark does not scale well to hyperthreading. Hyperthreading isnt as magical as some people on these forums think

 

Wait, it doesn't x100000 gazillion the performance and make your games run as smooth as a .pptx?
