Nice! All working well I assume?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Yeah... I am planning to get a few games on Steam and test them out tonight and tomorrow. Also Blender... I need to check temperatures. Going to do that now.

GPU Idling at 45 C... Somewhat high for that GPU, but there is only one slot for PCI then a PSU side....

 

[tiny voices]

Idle doesn't matter too much. My 760 idles at like 45 as well.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Oh wait, the GPU fan was off. I'm messing with MSI Afterburner now(no Overclocking!!!).
I broke the GPU fan xD.. I pressed a button in Afterburner and now I just hear 100% fan. It ramped down now, I think I set the temperature curve.... oops

 

[tiny voices]

Lol, you can reset it if you mess it up too badly.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

I did. I put it on 0 % below 80C somehow. >.<

 

[Mirakledba]

1. Ram not upgradable
2. Battery not changeable.

[Bossyfins]

[tiny voices]

Good luck! I had some friends work at Kohl's. Great place to work.

 

[Mirakledba]

Thanks guys. Ill be heading out at 9:30

 

[Turb0Yoda]

nice.

 

[tiny voices]

Good luck! It might only be Kohl's but you are dressing appropriately right?

You do not need a suit but you do need a shirt and a tie.

 

[Mirakledba]

Shirt and A tie? Every post I see is a tee shirt and pants...I am wearing a Dark blue Polo chaps shirt and black Levi's. Its going to be a group interview.

 

[tiny voices]

I wouldn't even wear jeans to a McDonalds interview. MINIMUM I would wear is a polo and slacks.

Group interview? You'll lose to the guy who wore a button up shirt and slacks while you and everyone else has jeans on.

You do not want to look like a try-hard, but you DO want to stand out. This is why you don;t wear a suit but you should wear a button up and slacks.

 

[Mirakledba]

I dont have any slacks.....I realize if Im screwed the second I See how others are dressed, But I think I will be fine.

 

[Mirakledba]

I do have a very nice brooks brothers button up......

 

[tiny voices]

Why even risk being screwed? You have no dress pants at all? What about Chinos or Dockers?

 

[tiny voices]

What does the shirt look like? You don;t want to wear a $100 shirt to a job that pays minimum wage. For this reason also do not wear a watch.

 

[Mirakledba]

Nope >.> They called me last minute at night so I couldnt really get anything

 

[Mirakledba]

It is a 100$ shirt...Also, why cant I wear my watch?

[tiny voices]

That sucks. You need to buy some dress pants. You need at minimum a pair of sand colored chinos, beige dockers, and black slacks. Buy these with your new job discount. Lol

Do you have a link to the shirt you are going to wear? Or something close?

I know some people who do group interviews for entry level part time jobs like this and every one of them says that who gets it an who doesn;t is decided within the first 2 minutes before you even say anything worthwhile.

Dressing properly is VERY important as first impressions are everything.

What shoes are you wearing?
