Yeah I was with my parents and their friends so I didn't really get to leave the stands much. Yeah maybe next time when I'm going solo. Plus when I got home on Monday I didn't have any time to check my computer before getting back in my car and heading over to the stadium.

Wow, man there are so many awesome looking motherboards. If I upgrade my system to Skylake (not likely but maybe), I would get either the MSI Z170 Gaming M9, Asus Maximus VIII Hero, or the EVGA Z170 FTW. Lots of solid choices this go round!
 
My CPU is very weak.... I just noticed that... It hit 90%+ on both cores in TF2!! and my GPU sits at 20-40%...
The fan is really loud, but I messed a lot with the fan curve. It hasn't gone above 70 C yet.

The average Idle is 41C, which I think is good with the little airflow I have.
 
IT FINALLY WORKS! After putting on new thermal paste, doing a FULL dusting, a new 240gb ssd, and a fresh windows 10 install, and finally a new battery and charger, my laptop works again!!! YAY
 
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand, for whatever reason, the new charger is not detected. I lightly dropped it, the corner tapped the floor before I pulled it up again, for a new genuine hp charger, does this seem right, or is something else wrong? I'm using my old charger now, hopefully that'll do something. This is serious bs how much effort I've put into this piece of crap
 
Im having SO MANY ISSUES with my browsers.

IE - Crap. I never use it.
Chrome - Has been sh*t these past few weeks. Uninstalled
Firefox who I thought was my savoir, crowded with ads and ad block wont work and full of weird ad dons I cant get rid of....super lag. Uninstalled
Safari - Nope.

WATERFOX <3 THANK YOU TINY...You told me about it a few weeks ago...It works so well. Words can not describe the love I have for you right now (No homo) So is it a knockoff of Firefox or is it by Mozilla? Whats the difference ?
 


The only ones I've seen that I might like is the EVGA ones. Alot of them dont seem to have alot of PCI slots which I dislike.
 


Yeah, because Firefox is open source, anyone can make their own version of it. Waterfox happens to be one of the most popular ones. I use it and love it.
 


Chrome has been fine with me. It has been stable for me. From what I've heard, chrome is the safest out of all the browsers to use.

Firefox has been fine for me too. I don't use adblock for firefox anymore. I replaced with Ublock, and it's so much better then adblock. The scrolling part of it is pretty stupid, but eh.
 
Chrome is NOT safe; its data tracking and collection is why I expect it to be purged from work PCs in the not-too-distant future. Some versions also contain code that can use the microphone to eavesdrop on nearby conversations. They were caught with their pants down on that one.
 


And that's exactly why I don't have microphones or web cams hooked to my system. I have a headset that I only use if needed but otherwise I don't have those things hooked up for any reason.
 
Would you say the internet improved by a noticeable amount? All of the browsers struggle to make internet connections. Plus I have really really high ping spikes, which never happened when I was on wired... I wish I still had FiOS..
