    The underwear thread.

    QFT. Seems like an American oddity nowadays. Stood out like a sore thumb in Europe until I ditched the undershirt. But travelling back to the US, it seems complete opposite. Oh yea, another boxer brief fan here.

    If he is not overclocking, a stock cooler is perfectly fine. Sure there are very cheap options for big cooling gains, but in reality stock is just fine.

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    I have owned 3 Denon units and the only time I have ever had a problem was when I was driving 4 ohm speakers for a house party and after a few hours the unit cut out. The Denon (3808) was crazy hot to the touch and pretty much fried. That was all down to me being a lazy ass and not getting a 4...

    Yes, CPUs generally will downclock themselves once overtemp. If it gets even higher, it will shutdown like Noodle said.

    Car Insurance

    Granted, I haven't lived in the US for quite a few years but the last I was there I had a brand new off the lot Chevy Tahoe Z-71 completely loaded out and paid about $650 per year to USAA. Do people really pay these monthly rates? I have always paid the yearly up-front rate because it is...

    Depends how much overclocking you do, I suppose. I swapped mine out after reading about the noise at max speed. Typically, fans that are shipped with CPU coolers and cases are fairly bottom of the barrel for CFM (airflow) vs dBA (noise).

    WORLD CUP 2014 - BRAZIL

    Just caught up the last 6 pages or so. I saw a lot of talk about Qatar hosting the cup. As someone who lives in and has lived in Qatar the last 8 years, I figured if anyone had any questions I would be happy to answer them about what I know. Few things I can say: The Heat: Fuck yes...

    Computer Issues

    Usually junk add-on programs have a tick box option to not install. Sometimes you need to select the "advanced" installation option to see it. Otherwise, are you using the CD that came with the motherboard? Sometimes they have a bunch of bloat. I usually just download them off the web and...

    I agree with Jeydax's statement. I have the older Corsair H100 and I just swapped the fans out for some quality ones that are pretty much dead silent. I usually always do this with any case fans to keep the rig as quiet as possible. I have my H100 on max speed and I can barely hear a thing with...

    The Fast Food Thread

    That is kind of like fry knowledge 101. No matter what take out burger and fries joint I go to, I ALWAYS keep the paper bag (and whatever fry container) open. The steam in the closed bag / container is what nukes any fry into a soggy death. Go forth and enjoy better fries all around!! *Edit*...

    Quite a few big name watch manufacturers offer rubber straps now. (Breitling, Omega, Tag Heuer, etc) Plus, on a fitness watch, you tend to sweat while doing activities. I think a rubber strap would prevent slipping a hell of a lot more than a metal strap. I'd definitely prefer a rubber strap...

    Car Buying Help

    There are some pretty weird limits on those accounts. It's 4.01% APY up to $10k, then drops to 0.82%. The interest also does not compound into the same account, but is dumped into a different savings account. You can also only have 1 account per person (stops you opening multiple <$10k account...

    Depends what kind of money you have. Breath of Harmony is the best pre-Epic weapon you can get and since it is Bard only, it sells for relatively cheap.

    I'm with you on this one buddy. I browse from work on a Government PC and the god damn IT alarms would go apeshit every time I tried viewing FoH forums. The fact it went on for so long, I just gave up viewing and missed the subsequent move to Morenets and didn't find RR until about a year ago...

    [NO Spoilers] Star Wars: Episode 7 - NO PUSSY SHIT

    Cameron was doing just as much with CGI in his years as Lucas did effects in his day. The liquid tentacle thing in Abyss was cutting edge and paved the way for the liquid metal (harder to render the reflections) in T2. I always think people that criticise these films do not put them into context...

    Polar RCX5 is marketed as a triathlon HRM. I do own this, but honestly never used it in the water. I would give it the benefit of the doubt, as they are one of the top HRM companies out there and it has been their flagship model.
