Brilliant. :) w00t w00t sig

Sal, if I had a higher paying job, I'd give you real money to cast again.

Thanks for also showing areas where you died - not trying to make yourself look super-human.

Impressive stuff.

They'll be asleep.

Sal is good casting. Miss your YouTube, sir.

It kind of looks like what the guy did was put the new drive in (now "K:") and left the old drive there so you could access the files that were on it (now "C:").

Unplug "C:", and see if the machine will boot properly. The boot ini should still be on the "K:" drive. I'm guessing that when you shut your computer down, the BIOS boot order changed from one drive to the other. This is almost exactly what erkston told you to do, it's just a bit less error-prone. It looks like you have 7 hard drives total, one with the system partition. Is that correct?

Either way, just to be 100% certain that your "k:" drive cannot boot, I'd unplug all unnecessary hard drives, and try just booting to the one that you think is the correct one.

Could you post your system specs as well? That could help determine where your system is bottlenecking.

lol awesome.

Should be a fun match to watch. GL HF :D

My two cents: the best thermal transfer is direct metal/metal contact. Think of thermal grease as a way to fill the small machine marks that typically make up the surface of the heatsink and the CPU.

If you want to have some fun, you could lap your heatsink and proc to a mirror finish, and get some crazy heat reduction.

I'd recommend with a pinhead sized drop of thermal grease on the center of the processor. The more metal on metal, the better the cooling.

There are some excellent articles out there. Since you are worried about heat, I'd look at recommendations by overclockers.net, as that's what they are looking out for as well. :)

silentpcreview.com has a ton of great articles on cooling hardware, from a noise perspective. HardOCP is excellent for some hardware reviews as well.

Good luck!

It may be helpful to post your current experience in the class (hours played, etc.), so the right mentor can help you out. Good luck in the upcoming season!

Be sure to scrim a team that challenges yours!

Stabby got me in to competitive play.

So, when you play with me in a pug, or if I ever get back into UGC, blame him.

Was a good time, though.

Oh, that would be sweet... pug channels that auto stream. Wouldn't even need a caster... I wonder if there is a way that it could do that.

Kaneco, I was thinking about this exact thing just this morning.

One; TF2 is an old game. Content refresh is important, but the game remains pretty old (in terms of age, not playability)

The same year it was released:

Microsoft announced Games for Windows Live

Bioshock was released

Crysis was released

Playstation 2 was the number 3 ranked console system.

I think that a lot of people may have written the game off due to its age. Also... I hate to say this but $$$. If Valve sponsored a $1 Million purse for a tf2 event, you'd see the kind of numbers that DOTA 2 sees pretty quickly.

If you Show All Processes it will. I think he was just stating a fun-fact.
