[MEGATHREAD] Personal Computer - Updated builds thanks to Logical Increments

[DJ Charizard]

So where my cpu power supply cable and connector meet, they got so hot that part of the plastic on the tip of the cable where the power from the psu comes from melted into the connector itself. I can still boot up and everything, but it legit smells like something is burning. So I changed it to the other connector and (for now) it's working fine. Though, any chance I can get a tweezers or something to get the melted parts out of the piece on the motherboard without electrocuting myself?

Also, will downloading Word and Powerpoint slow my PC down?

no. applications that don't launch on start up won't slow you down.

Discharge the board first, then you should be safe.

Just got a  HP Z600 Workstation from Microcenter today
Cant set it up yet without mother noticing, shes going to yell at me if she sees it.
Upside was that it was only $430 from Microcenter

Quadros are business cards for stuff like video editing and 3D rendering. They suck at gaming, so don't use them for that.

my disk usage has been spiking horrendously recently
this just started today and i have no idea why

for a little bit it'll be like this


then in a few seconds it will turn into this



also it's bsod'd like twice with the error VIDEO_SCHEDULER_INTERNAL_ERRO R but idk if it's related to this at all

this is happening again after it stopped for a while, guess it was good to get the ssd after all

and it's also good that i saved my stuff because i bsod'd again


damn it i'm so bored now

Windows is horribly bad at gauging the actual speed of hard drives.
It says 99% when in reality it is only reading/writing a few MB/s.
Run CrystalDiskMark and see how fast your drive really is.

I thnk its more when you tranfer a file the HDD gives it its most to do it as fast as possible, thus giving it his 100%
Or windows is just stuff, It also gives me 100% all the time

Also sleeve or rifle cooler? Wich is the quietest?

[Pentium]

Assuming the fans are otherwise similar, rifle bearings are best.

Expect that a lot of Microsoft programs do add services and background applications that run on startup.

As said previously, but they also do double floating point precision instead of single floating point, AKA more accurate image.
