Tiny - Dont understand but yeah sounds pricy! Why are you selling the G35 and what are you getting for it? And new or used?

Also, anyone a hardcore baseball fan? Im an Angels nut...bunch of angels "swag" in my room...Los Angeles angles! GO MIKE TROUT! Yeah just made the playoffs...8 teams left...world series in 20 days.....Going to it (IF THE ANGELS MAKE IT..)

Selling the G35 because I graduate in December and my girlfriend and I are moving to Denver, CO. She has a job starting in June (we will relocate in May) and I have many prospects there and will certainly have a job by then. I want something that is better in the snow (AWD) than the G35 which is miserable in the snow. I will probably get around 13k for the G35. I'm leaning HEAVILY towards an 08-11 Evo X GSR. A good one can be had with 50k miles for around $25k which is well within my budget on top of the 13k I will most likely get for the G35.

No truck with a Hi-Cab??

If we could harvest the processing power of our brains, we could... Unfortunately, we don't have anybody who knows how to do that unless they live under a rock.

SHIELD was disbanded, we need Stark and JARVIS now

That is a good point.

"JARVIS have you ever heard of the tale of Jonah?"
"I'm not sure I would consider him a role model, sir."

:lol:

stick-

maybe intel uses a really cheap TIM for their lower range cpu's (I mean under the heatspreader, I understand your using gelid extreme, whih is really good), save a few bucks in manufacture costs since they probably figure they will just be paired up with other lower range parts in a budget computer/pre-builts

 

[stickg1]

Yeah, I wanted to check with the guy I bought it from. He's a pretty big time LN2 overclocker and had a bunch of chips he was selling to buy more 2011-3 gear. This i3-4360 was sealed in the Intel box, so I know it's no wrong doing on his part, just bad luck. He said he would RMA it for me, but that means not having a CPU for several days. I might just take a razor to it and fix it myself. I paid $100 for a brand new $150 CPU, so I can't really be too mad, the thing works, its just hot.

It idles at close to 50C in a full blown water loop. That's really bad.

GUNIT- I live 45 min away from ngel stadium! Used to be 5 min away BUT IM GOING TO THE GAME TONIGHT! 3 of the ALDS games and 7 of the ALCS GAMES tonight is KC vs Angels. I'll be in section 426 lowerview MVP

 

[stickg1]

How are you adapting to living in California? Do you still do online schooling or do you go to a school locally?

 

[stickg1]

I'm having a lot of trouble trying to get both the R9 280x and R9 270x to work in the same PC. I've done this before in the past, got multiple GPUs to work together not in SLI or Crossfire. But I can't even get windows to recognize the 2nd GPU. It has power to it, the fans are spinning, both GPUs work individual in either of the two slots. I'm so confused.

I will be rooting (mildly) for the Orioles. For them to finally be doing well suggests I may catch a glimpse of Earl Weaver's ghost in the dugout.

I ordered this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16828113851
I've had good results from Brother. Their consumables cost seems to be a lot lower than their competition. I like the fact that it has wireless and network ports.

Let's go O's! Baltimore represent.

 

[Onus]

I grew up in Baltimore County. Thankfully, I escaped without the dreaded Dundalk/Essex/Eastern Shore accent (if you've not heard it, it makes hillbillies sound educated).

 

[tiny voices]

Its SO BAD. I'm from Howard County, but my buddies and I go to Ocean City every summer a few times. I know I know, trashy awful beach with terrible reputation, buts its cheap and fun for a weekend here and there. Plus my GF's grandmother owns a VERY nice condo on 144th street we stay at. The locals there have MISERABLE accents. It's terrible. I'm grateful I don't have one of those accents.

 

[Onus]

I've been there a couple times I think. My favorite family beach vacation was probably Bethany Beach when I was a little kid. Rehoboth was good too. Wildwood it seems to me we were too far from the beach, and it rained. In those days, I suspect my most advanced technology was a transistor radio.

Edit: What is fried checked? Should an Android spell-check have returned "chicken" instead?

 

[tiny voices]

Rehoboth is unfortunately going the way of Ocean City in recent years.

I like Bethany though. It's nice. I'm going to miss the east coast for sure after this move to Denver in 8 months.

Well impatience got the best of me. I delidded that little i3, the temps are now in check. It was obviously bad contact between the die and heatspreader.

Haha, look at this monster, couldn't even fit it all in the case. But everything is FINALLY working. Although I can't run both cards in the x8/x8 slots and the only thing I can think of is because I have two mini-PCIe cards so maybe they use PCIe lanes too? IDK, but it only works if I move a card to the x4 slot. Since it's for folding, it still works just fine.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Woahhhhhhh... Besides the funky wire management at the moment it looks awesome!! Wish I had a system like that lol

Unfortunately i won't be there since I'll be in Colorado for the weekend but I'll definitely be representing! I've got my tickets for the rest of the playoffs though. :lol:

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Ughh... I've noticed something for the last few months but never got around to it. On desktop with no apps running my cpu is always at 25%... I looked at resources, uninstalled bloatware, ran ccleaner, ran disk cleanup and all of that and nothing helped. No antivirus in the background or anything. Why is this?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Lol, mine jumps from around 10 % to 60 all of a sudden then back down. Lol, I have a pentium tho...

 

[ImDaBaron]

Bought a bunch of stuff today...CPU Cooler,SSD,HDD and Power Supply

 

[Turb0Yoda]

List them please.

 

[Lutfij]

Stick,
Ah I see you've gotten a hold of the 350D Mind sharing your experience with us?

 

[Onus]

PCBuilder, my first thought is a sound driver doing that. Make sure yours are updated.
