Nice thread.
Also for reflow, I use a lump of copper, stick it in the oven till it's hot, place it on top of GPU till it's cold.

Ah, this one! Ok cool. About that "sticky surface" thing: Furniture polish. A good lemon scented wood oil will do wonder for it. Apply it, let it sit for a minute then wipe it off.

That stache is awesome. I for sure thought there would be a mullet too, not gonna lie I am disappointed.

theres a beard, its just hiding

I COULD have used the rusty ass case in the garage, but i figured the RGB would let it run 4K stable

This is so true! I've telling everyone that RGB improves overall performance and stability, but all these Plebs are deaf to the ultimate truth! Now, I feel validated that a mod is resonating this truth!

Oh yeah, the airflow in the case is just awesome, having 2x biga$$ 200mm fans up in front help a lot with that. That they're RGB would only improve airflow by leaps and bounds.

Don't mind me, I am 43 and I still have a couple of bald spots on my cheeks, and I recently just started having to shave every 3 days. Boo.

And who didn't have a mullet, they were awesome.



So is your rig btw. And that tank too is pretty awesome.. Smoke and BBs?

 

[eidairaman1]

Ok how about my Current Specs with a Sapphire 6900 XT(X) Toxic/Nitro?

 

[eidairaman1]

I hope that the PSU doesn't catch fire !! LOL Althought with that amount of RGB, I'm personally.... lol

VR sounds good, not got chance to get in touch with anything gaming wise half the time. VR kit would cost me far too much lol

I think it will just not start 1 day, hopefully not taking everything else with it.

Me too! My at the time toddler used to lay in bed with us and pet my back like a kitty My eyebrows unchecked will curl into my eyes its brutal man. And to make matters worse, my body bypassed the grey hair phase gave up and went right to white.. started on top then my beard and is now its in my chest and staying in a holding pattern there so far. But sooner or later fuel is going to run out and that holding pattern will drop.. and then I am fooked.

I'm going to look like a dirty Husky from the back if I get caught with no shorts on


Anyway.. how bout that heat..

Wow, that's even more dramatic than the mosfet that exploded in my old PSU after I got my Fury X

(in its defense, it was 7 years old at the time, and I was stress testing a 300W GPU)

When I was a kid in the 1950's I had great fun blowing up capacitors from my father's parts drawers. He fixed TV's and radios as a hobby and we had racks of parts in our basement. I had a 100 foot roll of 28 gauge wire I attached small alligator clips to the leads on one end and put a toggle switch in series with a 115 volt plug on the other end.

We lived on a corner and I was small enough to be able to climb in and out of the basement windows. Night time was best for subversive activities. My father worked nights, my mother was often gone and being totally unsupervised was wonderful. I'd climb out of a window facing the street and string the wire with a capacitor attached into the middle of the street. Climb back in the window, plug it in, wait for headlights of an approaching vehicle then at the right time flip the switch then quickly pull the wiring back into the house after the cap exploded. This was before the street was paved and there weren't any street lights put in yet.

About half the time the drivers would keep going but the other half they'd stop, get out of their vehicle and try to figure out what had blown up. One night a car stopped and the red flashing lights on it lit up. It was a police car and thankfully I'd reeled all the wire back in and had the window closed by the time two cops got out with flashlights and began looking around the area. They found the spot where the cap went off but I doubt they had any clue what the scattered bits of foil were. That was the end of my blowing up capacitors adventures though.

I get the feeling that the adventurous children either end up dead, or modders
