    Avast has a free anti-virus too.

    That thing is pretty mediocre though. I'd rather go for Malwarebytes and just MAYBE for Kaspersky and just use the Avast for updates.

    i wanted to setup downscaling so using a tool i added a screen resolution higher than that of my screen.
    long story short i couldnt change it back since after that my screen only showed "resolution not supported" when windows was loaded.
    i only managed to solve this by connecting a different monitor.

    Stupidest thing I've done: Installing my CPU heatsink with only 2 pins securely in (opposite of each other, and the other pins were bent) and thinking it would be adequate. Result: BeamNG causing my CPU to run at 220 degrees Fahrenheit. Yet my PC runs cool as heck today (and all the pins are somehow in).

    The thermal compound is still there and I use a large tower cooler. I press it on with a bit of force and it sits. my Temps are pretty low considering I'm running almost a ghz overclock with the voltage to go with it. just don't bump into it.
