(1/4) > >>

Osme:
spend 6 hours with asus customer support. issue? cpu power wasnt connected.
spent 2 hours working on bios settings, forgot to put the cmos battery back
spent 1 hour fixing shreded cable, epoxying all the cables in place, one wire was too short, has to undo (not fucking easy)
spent 1 hour try to figure out why sound was not working, plugged usb connector into audio port
spent 2 hours figuring out why gpu wasnt working, plugged ONLY the 2pin connector in, instead of the 6+2 pin
all in all, great day

I still think you're a dumbass for overclocking a CoreI7.

Dat $400+ Electricity Bill for the computer alone.

yea, these new cpu's arnt like last gen, they use much much less power under max load, and speed step allows it to only increase the clock speed when needed or wanted.
last gen = constant overclock+more power usage

Theres still absolutely no reason to overclock it though.
