Meh... I still like PC gaming better.

Is it just me or the Xbox one look like a freakin VCR?

I guess Samsung skip the 6-cores and went straight to 8. I wonder how good is the battery life with these sucker on the next android phones

In other word, the mobo is bad because of blown caps.

A friend of mine recently bought a Dell power edge 2650 and he restored using an win xp home with the XP OEM key. The problem is the graphic driver is installed but the graphic response really slow like the driver was never install and when you move the program around the desktop, you can see it...

I guess the applying thermal paste using your finger doesn't work well with laptop GPU/cpu/southbridge chip. I'm out of town right now and give it a try when I get back.

I didn't put on too much and spread it out evenly. The size is slightly smaller then a water droplet

My laptop has a persistent overheating problem even after applying fresh thermal paste to the CPU, GPU, and the southbridge. The thermal paste that I use is Artic Silver 5 but the laptop's temperature is always around 140F during idle and around 160-180F when watching videos then shut down...
