I just made a quick video showing how this thermal compound dissolved and destroyed this stock Dell heatsink. I couldn't find any results on google for it destroying any other heatsinks so I don't know how well documented this issue is, so here you can see the carnage for yourself: For some...

I have a lenovo E560 and I installed Debian linux which I run on my other machines no problem. But I never get a dual boot option on startup. It said grub was installed which is the linux boot loader that normally gives you the option between windows and linux. I have this same setup on another...

I used to buy the 'enlobal' bearing fans from Enermax. But now their new ones are all ugly looking to me. Funny shaped 'batwing' blades and leds all over the place and "enermax" written over and over around the inside of the fan shroud... ;-; Noctua or one of the other major brands have a...

So I delidded my chip. Now the motherboard clamp won't clamp enough into the pins without the extra thickness. So I just set it back on top for now with no glue and it works. The heatsink can't really tighten down far enough to hold it down enough either and I'm not even sure if it's the best...

I'm really confused how this happened but I was overclocking more and more to see how far I could go. Turns out it's perfectly stable at 4.7 but not at 4.8 even if I turn up the voltage. Anyway after one of the BSODs I had (I would have one every few hours at that speed) I rebooted and I...

Just installed an rx 480 today My friend gave me this GTX480 a number of years ago when I couldn't afford an upgrade from an ancient XP 3000+ nVidia GeForce 3 Ti500 setup. And I loved it and appreciated it for so many years and finally today it has seen it's last use from me. Holy crap I...

I'm currently running an i5-4670k overclocked to 4.7GHz* and a GTX480 I have a 144hz screen and in the games that I don't get 144 frames per second such as Insurgency or Natural Selection 2, it's still very smooth, but it will float around 100 and vary. When I look at the system status it shows...

I thought this was an incredible deal. I've been looking for a Thinkpad for a few months now. On their official website if you spec out a computer that equals this they are asking around 1,285 dollars. And I don't even see this particular model with the disc drive on their site at all. So I...

Hey guys I currently am using a very old monitor that I bought back when prices were first coming down into the few hundreds. I am interested in buying the best 144hz monitor for fps and twitch gaming. After reading several forum posts as well as a monitor review article I've narrowed it down...

Hello, I have been a member for around 8 years. I haven't been on these forums for a few years, but my account logon still works. I don't know why it says I only have 5 posts... I definately used to have a lot more than that. I used to frequent these forums in the genmay days and was into case...

Hello everybody its been a while. 8 years ago when I build this computer I was really into modding and was going to post a picture in the thread where everybody mods their cases. I never got around to posting any pictures, but the case came out pretty cool looking. Anyway now that my comp is...

What is the difference between ram with 3-3-3-8 or 4-4-4-12 timing? What is the fastest timing? How do you convert the pc rating of ram to the actual max FSB the ram can take? :confused:
