Well i usually dont even look at your posts, and simply ignore you...
You're always good for a giggle with these ignore claims, Jellymon...
Then again, I think you were one of the people to suggest an Asus Motherboard, which has now cost me allot of money.
Your thinking is gufflawed. I've posted to numerous C2D and C2Q threads that I've not bought yet because I'm waiting for the dust to settle on C2 mobos. I'm getting closer but still patiently await. I'm looking forward to reviews of the new DFI C2 mobo. I'm tempted by the high FSB people are getting on some 965 chipsets but would like to see a better supporting cast of abilities like some 975 boards have. Patient, that's me - because I have functional rigs already and although I could use more processing power, I hope to keep my next Intel rig for 4 or 5 years and thus am cautious. Unlike you, I detest the RMA process and anything else related to part failure or limited functionality.
Unfortunately I have built a system far beyond what 99% of the people around here have built
How did you determine this percentage? Did you take a poll? And how is a system with a history of breakdowns better than even my rock-solid old P4, let alone my game box?
their recommendations; though appreciated, have often backfired.
Well, you have to be careful who you listen to, and patience is a purchaser's virtue.
I also have had some really bad luck, and made some mistakes. But its part of the game. Beign that the Core2Duo was so NEW when I bought it (it was out less then 2 weeks) I had to make allot of decisions without other peoples experiances to point to.
Clearly, your overeager, gotta-have-it-now approach is 180 degrees away from mine. It's all about priorities I guess.
I have also done a MAJOR amount of modifications to wirers and other parts of the machine.
I don't know what this means. Does it mean that you routed your cables carefully?
I have spent money on parts I dont use, though I may be able to use in the future. As a new comer to Watercooling, I relied on the advice of FrozenCPU, and was burnt.
Yea, that's a tough break. I'm leery of buying just based on a retailer or etailer recommendation alone. There is so much water-cooling info on forums like Toms that it's just not hard to figure out what to get for a given price point. Then again, my approach is to go slow to go fast - set goals, do the research, check for other opinions and THEN buy.
As a side note, I havent been on this site as much as I use to be. I really like to help out people, but these forums are under moderated and the flame/attacks that happens here is excessive. Instead of showing people compassion and solutions for their mistakes and problems, people here ridicule and put you down.
I consider that to be a gross generalization. This is kind of a high dynamic range forum with many different behavior sets. But having been a Usenet regular since the beginning, nothing on Toms has ever managed to get me very worked up. I'm likely to be entertained and educated much of the time and I truly appreciate the in-house and forumz expertise. It's all about perspective and expectations. Fer Chrissakes, it's ONLY the Internet. With Al Gore as chief-co-inventor, how can you expect too much?
Clueless, pointing out my problems, without ever offering any sort of help or sympathy.
Maybe you don't see my replies as attempts at help, but that's your problem. Ever since you came on here whining about all of your problems, my message has been consistent: decide what you NEED and use that to guide your research. Be patient, look at a variety of resources and be patient some more.
Taking Clueless's history this is a comon behavior.
I doubt that you have the slightest idea of what my history is here. I'm on no Mission From God to go out and be the world's best Forumz helper, but I pay my dues here when I have something to offer and have received many, many 'thank-yous'. The fact that your feathers were ruffled by my replies is not something I'll take all the blame for. You have little sense of humor, dude and I like to laugh, so plug that into your harmonic logic. You mention sympathy above - you're in the wrong place for that kind of support.
Its really to bad that he doesnt have compassion for me and others who struggle through a build. Sometimes builds just dont work out perfectly. I am unable to control everything.
Compassion? If I shed a tear over your RMA-heavy past, would it make you feel better? I've given you solid advice in the past and you ignored it. I dissed on your PS and you were adamant that it was a great piece - but now you say you had to RMA it. Hello in there, Jellymon - you just don't listen.
I will be welcome to come back and help out even more if the forum if moderators stopped people from engaging in such angry and malicous responses.
Before you go dumping a bunch of "advice" on this forum, maybe it would help if you did the background work to learn what the good stuff is and what's the junk?
This place has the opportunity to be a friendly place that could help allot of people, and could be fun for us. Instead we loose some of the best people available (such as Wusy) and as more of the people who care leave Thoose left will be the mean insulting people.
You think Wusy left because his feelings were hurt? Maybe you do have a tiny sense of humor after all. What, you weren't kidding? Wow.
Lastly, Clue69Less will last less then 3 days on the forumz of OC without beign banned.
Too bad you didn't put some money on that since I've been a member for many months...
I hope you will get better Clueless, and stop feeling like you have to bully people. I will pray for you to get over this defect in character and that you may grow spiritually as an individual.
Right, dude, and I hope you learn how to pick out a good PS that has enough bling to fill your starry eyes cuz my money is on your new Ultra taking a dirt nap any day...
Amen sister! Too bad an all too high proportion of people on these forums just believe what others say blindly and if you reccomend a particular PSU or anything they'll buy it. Then there are the people who just go for pretty shiny things like the Zalmann 9500 LED. You can buy far better coolers for far less and so many people have been told this but still go for this overpriced yet still fairly decent cooler.
Sad....... some people seem to go for bling abnd shiny crap over reliability. That's not my way.
