Guaranteed to make you at least twenty degrees cooler. That’s Celsius, yo!

Ditch the stock cooler for lower temps.

Eh, stock’s done fine for the last four or so years, and I’ve been running a mild overclock for a decent bit of that. The four year old thermal paste, on the other hand, had to go.

My dad legitimately thought my tube of thermal paste was a syringe.

DEATH TO THE PUSH-PINS.

This is why I hate stock Intel coolers.

Yeah, they suck. I’m slightly concerned I’ve ended up with uneven spread because I had to fiddle with the fucking things so much.

I reckon my mum could easily make the same mistake. All I’d have to do is start talking about thermal paste, though: then she’d just file it under ‘computer magic’ and move on. Same goes for my stepdad.

I just bought an optiplex 360 for $15! It has a pentium dual core and a hard drive. I want to make a super cheap gaming rig.

Needs ram. I can haz ddr2? Seriously anyone have some DDR2 sitting around? willing to trade.

I had some spare DDR2 a few years ago, but I think it’s gotten lost to the endless expanse of time and my loft.

You’d be better off buying the cheapest CPU and Mobo combo you can find than putting money in that old thing.

Not being a computer elitist I tried this once years ago and it was a complete waste of time and money.

I ended up buying an E3300 celeron for 40$ which has served as the basis for my HTPC for a good 5 years now.

It is amazing the difference the new architecture and instruction sets make.

$300+ for a decent CPU....

Gets this beyond shitty piece of shit to make it work.

Hey, if it’s worked as well as it has for the last four years, it can’t be all bad. I still don’t much fancy upgrading my chip - going from Sandy Bridge to Skylake, you’re still only going to see marginal performance increases in most games - so I might invest in some better cooling later, to support a slightly more extreme overclock.

I don’t want to play crysis 7 just whatever crap it can handle. It has a E5200 I think. It uses the 775 socket so it could be upgraded but when you start talking about architecture and instruction sets I gots no idea what that means.

Oh it's an e52? That's not complete junk. You can play some stuff on medium to low settings

I want the heavy stuff.

I tried sniffing that stuff once but it gave me one of those ice-cream headaches :/
