Well if he re post you can recognize him easily. He give crappy advice and always types like this.

hello... how are you... and stuff...

Who talks like that anywayz :D

Poor RPG,
It reminds me of what I must have been like when I was younger. I remember my mom crying and saying "I cant buy anything without you taking it apart"

He seems like he is VERY young and just wants to fit in very bad. I hope he finds a place where he can use some of his ideas. 90% of what he said was junk but there were some parts that showed glimmers of hope.

I am glad I am not a boss here because it must take a lot of effort to keep checking up on the RPG's...

wow i never encountered this guy :eek: , but man im glad that i didnt. I was like him in another forum web site, and man ppl flamed me and when i really needed help they were A-holes to me, i always tough the ppl there were just Aholes but after i did some considering i found out that i was the nincompoop, so i started to learn instead of replying ignorant answers and now i give a good impresion on many forum sites, so i think RPG doesnt even know he is the wrong one here.:eek:

I think RPGs problem is that he has alot of info, but dosen't quite see how it all comes together. Lapping a heatsink is not a solution to an overheating problem with a VF-700, common knowledge states that it is a great heatsink, and if you have heat problems with it either A your PC case is a microwave, or B too much thermalpaste.

This kid is dangerous on any forum. I'm glad I posted before that guy took sandpaper to his heatsink.

But yeah I agree with Markleb he must be young, hopefully in time he will become more knowledgeable about PCs and be able to better give solutions to problems

my biggest concern is that he drives the credibility of this forum as a whole down ... people come here to get help .. not some 1 line bs replies which have no knowledge behind them

It's too bad, RPG seemed to be making progress...but he's been given 3 chances, and each one of them he's messed up. Each one he got a bit better, but in the end, he still posted half-helpful, one lined responses. Oh well.

Yeah, these forums are awesome :D. I pretty much joined because of what an awesome community this is (Cheap nerds helping other cheap nerds :laugh:.)...and as a way of saying thank you for ATItool and the softmod :p. These forums also have chatrooms and a very active general nonsense section when we don't feel like helping people :).

What he said was true... kindof. Using high grit sandpaper will increase contact with the heatsink and the GPU. But he didnt say high grit... and thats only if your overclocking, else there is no real point with the vf700, its already a great cooler.

So sad, I noticed his system specs, and I wondered how he could claim to achieve such high overclocks for both his CPU and GPU, (was it 4.7 Ghz on an air cooled 3Ghz P4?)... :p
Anyway, this is one of the most helpful hardware forums around, and I'm glad it has stayed this way for along time :)

Wow as much useless and incorrect info on here how could you track down just one person?
point is if new people want to over clock they will ask how what works for some on one pc may not work for another on the same set up. a new person should have enough sense to read all the info and decide for them self what they want to do to their pc. myself I have wasted more than a few cpu's/motherboards doing things I have read on websites run by the best in the business. look at the spec's people post on here thats more than dangeruse for noobies to read. curently there are no 4.0 ghz processors on the markit yet many post theirs run that high from oc'ing face it that alone turns many a noobie into cannon fodder.
good luck with your bad advice cleansing program :twitch:

But all of them ppl with very high OC'd systems show proof of their achievements, either by posting compare URL, pictures or other ways...
Besides, you can use common sense to know when someone is lying, there's no way a 3Ghz P4 would reach 4.7Ghz on air cooling alone, that's more than 1.7Ghz of overclock, and a quad pumped FSB of 1253.33Mhz at a divider of 15 on an intel processor supposed to run at 800Mhz FSB!
Intel is just starting to migrate to 1066Mhz FSB, and won't introduce 1333Mhz FSB until 2007...

With correct information you can achieve decent OC's very easily. But his specs were unbelieveable, not as they couldn't be done, just as it was him.
