This one shouldn't be all that controversial. It's like if I told you about that time I went to Florida and my wife fed squirrels at the park from her hand
Been there, done that. Squirrels on the UF campus aren't phased at all by humans. Saw one sitting on the edge of a trashcan that was so still I thought it was a decorative statue. Once I walked past, it twisted it's head to follow me, probably wondering why I didn't feed the adorable thing.

Isn't any version of Prime95 over 26.6 is bad for the CPU?
No, I'm not sure where you heard that from. Starting at v27.1, the FFTs were optimized for 32-bit AVX istructions ( v27.3 introduced 64-bit AVX. ) AVX support allows the threads to run much faster for people doing actual Mersenne research. However, it also taxes the CPU a lot more, meaning it runs hotter. When Thomas and I test mboards, this is the difference in the heat chart between "normal" P95 and P95 AVX.
So no, later versions of P95 aren't bad for your CPU, they'll just tax it more. So if you OC your CPU, it might be able to handle moderate loads, but throwing P95 AVX at it will show it it's
really stable or not.

Everybody and their mom refers to those as Molex connectors.
And when I'm in Georgia and I ask for a Coke they ask me if I was root beer. I prefer to be specific
Been there, done that too. Weirdest thing when someone asked me what kind of Coke I wanted, and they didn't mean cherry vs vanilla vs lemon.
I don't mind being specific. "Soda" in the east means any number of carbonated beverages, but in the midwest many people think you're talking about sodium bicarbonate ( or unflavored carbonated water ). Call it a "pop" in Utah and people know what you're talking about, but say the same thing on the east coast and they might think you're asking for a sucker / lollipop. When in doubt, call the thing what it actually is, not the colloquial term.
