Animalpak · Jun 27, 2013

the thread name is SEXY HARDWARE NOT ANY HARDWARE CLOSE UP PICS !!

If you dont have some high end hardware dont bother with random stuff !!! Because i do not care and that s....t do not turn my curiosity !!!

The thread is already f.... up !!

Excuse my language but're bored !!

People you agree with me or not ?

d1nky · Jun 27, 2013

NO..... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

de.das.dude · Jun 27, 2013

Well if you don't like, simply don't bother. And behave nicely.
This thread never ever mentioned that one can only post pics of high end hardware. The financial condition of everyone is not the same.

There are even pics of ancient big sized graphics cards which ARE SEXY! So I think you need the definition of "sexy"!

I considered this forum to be a place of friendly and helpful people but you just made the difference!

This thread, by definition in the first post, is for close-ups of HARDWARE. That's it. It can be old, new, powerful, or budget. If it's a close-up shot of computer hardware, it belongs here:

This club is for up-close pictures of hardware only.
Please do not post pictures that could go in case gallery or other sections, only high quality close-ups of hardware.

^Directly from the first post^

If that bores you, then either stop checking this thread or just shutup about it. We are not here to cater to you or anyone else. This is a TECH and PC forum. This is NOT a high-end/enthusiast-class forum. Go to Xtreme Systems if that's all you're interested in.
The fact that you even bitched in the first place says a lot about you, Animalpak.

Wholeheartedly agree. Certain parts were bolded for emphasis.

NOW LET'S GET BACK ON TRACK WITH SOME CLOSE-UPS! :rockout:

you need some picture taking lessons

youre giving that phone a bad name.

use flash in all the closeups, unless you are taking them in sunlight.
have ISO set to lowest. it removes granyness
Decrease the exposure, it will remove blurriness
change image softness to soft, or hard. which ever suits better.
let it focus properly before you take the picture.
dont get the phone too close. about 6in away should be best for you i think. your phone is better at landscape pictures. not macro ones.

LOL correct.

I suck at taking photos. :eek:

Anyways, the pics are taken with my cousin's Sony WX50.
I am very bad at taking photos. Thanks for the tips. Will apply them the next time I take close-ups.

The pics of the new mobo and its related pics are taken with my friend's Sony Xperia U.

de.das.dude · Jun 28, 2013

yes i was talking about the xperia U. a lot of people i know have it.
the pics in my prev post were all taken with my phone. ofcourse i had to take on average 5 shots per pic, to get the settigns just right XD.

the blue led one came out beautifully i think.

True.

radrok · Jun 28, 2013

Just arrived. Gonna find its brother asap

Too bad retailers are gouging on the 960GB variant, but I'm patient.

Mussels · Jun 28, 2013

ramsinks fell off my primary 5870 and jammed the fan, so i took some closeups of the sexy hardware.

This is how they were sitting, stuck in place to the main heatsink.

Just enough adhesive residue to collect hair...

radrok · Jun 28, 2013

Omg Mussels you can say you have manly Vram :laugh:

eat up your AMD crunchio's, it'll put hair on your VRM's!

thankfully i have an entire spare set of heatsinks + VRM sinks so i just replaced all of them and cleaned the fan.

radrok · Jun 28, 2013

So basically next time someone asks how to remove ramsinks/vrmsinks safely we can say "just a lil bit of patience, they'll fall off eventually" :laugh:
