    And why are so many people so anal retentive about this? The paste on there was whatever came preapplied with the out of the box heatsink. I haven't touched it since I bought it 5 years ago.

    I just did something similar... I changed the BIOS boot option from UEFI to CSM and it booted again.

    Computer Issues

    Ok so im back in action. The CPU actually survived despite being turned on three times until I realized the problem. I was shocked by this. I spent a few hours dealing with BIOS and CMOS, installing the H100i... it sure is a lot quieter too. Good experience but I am getting too old for this...

    Computer Issues

    So I got the CPU and the Corsair cooler but I actually need to replace the original mounting brackets before I can put the thing in there. Fucking dumb. The $300 heatsink doesn't come with all the required mounting pieces?

    No but I already ordered a new CPU and a Corsair H100i so whatever I guess!

    Fortress #3 after brushing off 6 years of rust: Did okay for a while, had a bunch of farms and a nice resevoir setup. Plenty of resources around to use. However, I had one dwarf and his wife have quintuplets. While I was managing those the father had like 15 unmet needs. All of which were that...

    I read like 300 chapters of this... But this wuxiaworld link did they do some editing for him? It reads way better than whatever I was reading.

    Also I am reading that the newer CPUs actually have good protection against this and actually survive losing the heatsink? Neat. Oh well new CPU anyway.

    This was the out of the box heatsink mind you. I don't do any overclocking or anything like that.

    It looks like the weight of the heatsink+cpu heat gradually weakened the brace.

    Computer Issues

    Actually, it wasn't the tension but the plastic frame thing that holds the heatsink in place. Which then caused it to lose tension.

    Nevermind I found it. The tension latch on my heatsink came undone and gravity did the rest. RIP cpu. It had been sitting in this position for 5 or so years.

    This morning. My PC just shut off in the middle of doing something. It will turn on but then quickly turns off. Where do I start looking for issues?

    Plague, wanton slaughter, worshipping demons and shit is bad but did you hear that Diablo also tried to rape a troon?

    Diablo 4 / IV / IIII / Fore / Cope / Seethe

    The longevity of an ARPG game lives or dies by its ability to make the grind fun and engaging. Its why people still love the super bloated over complex Path of Exile. Its why D2 was so good. D3 sucked at that hard... so everyone is hoping that somewhere in Bliz they decided to actually do what...

    You only ever needed to flood rooms if you didn't have the right soil anyway. If you flood it and let it dry out the soil becomes something you can plant in. Most caves will have this somewhere unless you use the desert biome or something where its 6 floors of sand.

    What are you listening to at the moment?

    If such things as musical history interest you. This dude was before any of the rockabilly bands of the 50s. Yet he had the sound. A primary influence of the Beatles. And again Lonnie borrowed this song from Lead Belly. Similarly if you're into Country. Take a day to listen to Old Hank Williams...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Never tried that. When I feel like having it with something more sour I swap out the mayo and sweet relish for a small amount of whole milk greek style yogurt with lemon juice and horseradish mustard. It may sound weird there but trust me. Try it. When you do it that way also replace the...

    I would argue that this nerf actually makes Blood DK and Druid stronger because you just weakened aggro tools against them. They just don't have the massive 40 dmg Big D... only 20 or so. Astalor going to be in every deck now since D now sucks for all except two classes. Nevermind that Druid...

    They've nerfed Theodor 3 times. They've never touched Denathrius or Scale of Onyxia or any of the big problem cards. Hunter wont be getting nerfed.

    Its stupid. Diablo is about killing motherfucking demons, hunting for items to make cool builds work. You think I care if your troon character was raped?

    Back in the 1970s Sabbath usually played this song super fast like this. Their album version was much "normal" paced. But back in the day a super fast tempo metal song like this was unheard of. Unsurprisingly they made that whole album this was on when they were hopped up on yay 24/7. Ozzy says...

    Also I am going to continue ranting a bit but the Rune system for DK needs work. As it just constricts how you can build decks but since discover mechanics favor class cards if you run enough discover cards you will likely find the other rune cards and quite reliably. They should have had some...
