I have yet to meet a person who doesn't!

Not a problem!

Anything I can do to get this genre spread everywhere and more known

ELECTRO SWING

This stuff isn't played nearly enough in anywhere

Here's a mix example

The absolute best thing a skier or boarder can hear about a winter storm is that it is "life-threatening"

I will be on the slopes for the next week straight

I'M FUCKING EXCITED

I'll just read the reddit thing and follow along. I can definitely get a few more degrees out of cleaning out my heatsink and reapplying the thermal paste

90 degrees is way past the point where the BIOS will automatically shut off your computer and you will begin to be able to boil water on top of your CPU so 90 degrees is definitely not the safe range for the temperature. Intel chips are supposed to be around mid 50s for max load and getting into the mid 60s range is "a little too high"

I am looking to upgrade my computer's components without actually buying new components (aka I want to overclock) and I don't know (too) much about the process so I was looking for tips.

The GPU was pretty straightforward, I moved some sliders in Catalyst Control Center until i got my Radeon HD5770 GPU clocked at 960 MHz and memory clocked at 1355 MHz. Scored 1866 in FurMark benchmark and the stress test pushed the GPU to a max temp of 80 C. Idles at 43-45 C. Don't think I can do much more there.

For the CPU, I know pretty much nothing about overclocking so I'm planning on downloading an overclocking utility (specifically Gigabyte's EasyTune 6: mobo is Gigabyte GA-P55-USB3). I'll just be doing a similar thing to my GPU in that it'll just be some sliders to move until i can max them out with the system stable.

My CPU cores (quad core i5-750 lynnfield) idle at ~28-30 C, and at load with prime95 they run at ~53-56 C. I have not cleaned the dust out my computer in a year (yeah I know I'm behind schedule) and I haven't reapplied the thermal paste since I built the computer two years ago. I still have the tube with the paste and there's plenty left. My case (Antec 900) is very open and my fans are mostly on medium because I can't stand the sound of them on high (one of them is stuck on high because I cut the wire but that's a different story).

My main questions are
1) is it worth it? (will my cpu bottleneck my gpu or vice-versa)
2) Is it safe? (dunno if I should be pushing my cpu too hard with the temps they currently get to)
and 3)Any tips? I know my way around the BIOS and i can change settings there, I just don't want to change them myself because I've never overclocked and don't exactly know what to change them to.

So I'm gonna get it. How do I confirm that its in good shape? The guy selling says that it works "like new" but it's a year old and it's also craigslist. Are there any telltale signs like the high-pitched noise thing to tell me i shouldn't be getting it?

Bump cuz big blizzard- bad for travel, awesome for skiing

And ofc I have to travel to get to any good mountain. Anyone actually using the snow to go skiing while I'm sitting in my corner crying?

I found a guy nearby on craigslist selling a Viewsonic vx2268wm for $130. I've been looking to upgrade from my 60hz to a 120hz monitor.

1) Should I get it
2) Do 120hz monitors exist without 3D? I really just want a monitor capable of 120hz but I can't find any without 3D and all that the 3D feature is doing for me is raising the price

I'm Jewish :c

Oh and I got nothing for Hanukkah :c

Insult to injury

this thread was created to make fun of the trading fortress community but i guess that's "inhumane" and "cruel" because i shouldn't be making fun of those with below average intelligence

I hate trading. The fact that I occasionally have to do it to get some of the items i want makes me sad. This thread is for posting the dumbest (and/or funniest) trading experiences.
