My PC is, uh, running a teensy weensy bit HOT!

80 deg Celcius plus for a CPU? REALLY?

So I returned my stupid non-bombastic ATi GPU for a Galaxy Geforce GT 430 (number coincides with case number), and ordered a case fan + a CPU cooler.

What kind of PC did you build?

With intel, they say that it's fine if it's under 100 deg Celcius i believe (i5 and i7)

are you sure you have placed a cpu cooler in that case ( yea a pun :D)
now serious, have you applied thermal paste?

A new CPU cooler is coming in the mail soon.

BTW, this is the PC I built.

My fan kept kicking into "vibrate the desk" mode during everyday use, did some poking around and discovered I had a nasty infection of Sirefef. Never even noticed it had disabled my Antivirus, and I am careful to never get a virus. Took me a solid 24 hours to fully get rid of it, and I'm still a little concerned that I missed something (nothing's happened, but just gun shy)

Next time I boot up LA Noire, I'll take note of what my CPU and GPU hit, but I know that I cannot have my laptop in my lap while playing Minecraft or any AAA 3D title. (Minecraft is just terrible programming, that's the only reason I can come up with for why it gets SO HOT.)

Also, my comp used to freeze all the time for no apparent reason, but when I got a laptop cooler, that stopped. Funny how that works.

[quote name='Bladexdsl' timestamp='1342323943'] my cpu runs at 10 deg c idle and about 25-30 deg c when playing high end games. that's the power of the corsair hydro 100 and Phantom - NZXT [/quote]No way! But...I'm kinda on a budget for my homebrewed PC (built it myself)

    True, very true
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I think we should outlaw healthcare entirely because the fact that people can get healthcare today is unfair to those in the past that couldn't

    Howdy @mthrnite , great to see you :D

    hola mi hermano
  • cearp @ cearp:
    @Sicklyboy - the comparison would be forgiving all medical debt, not making healthcare illegal!
  • cearp @ cearp:
    Although I still don't agree, medical debt is rarely a choice, whereas enrolling in university is certainly a choice

    we need more smart cats tho for reals
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    College costs, college loans, book prices, the entire thing is predatory, oft touted as essential to a successful life for my generation and the ones since, and completely unaffordable without putting you through an insane financial hardship for literal decades in many situations.

    Many of the same issues can be seen for the insanely predatory healthcare and health insurance system in the US

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's important for society to be healthy and educated. If those things can't happen because all of the institutions that prop up those industries make it unattainable for all but a small portion of society, then your society is largely going to be disease ridden, dying, and uneducated in very short order.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Issue is it's too rich of a coperation already with bad sugar diets causing diabetes and killing teeth a new set of teeth around 90k
  • cearp @ cearp:
    I agree it's not easy for the average American, let alone the ones below that average. Free / cheaper healthcare is much more important I think than free university education.
    Of course like @mthrnite said, why not both. But I doubt both will get solved at once, and surely healthcare is top priority.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    If it's needed to keep you healthy it shouldn't cost you $90k. The fact that it does is an enormous problem

    but yeah, affordable is all i'm asking for

    And if the concern is that "well we can't trust the government to intervene for this because the government can't do anything right and wastes tons of money" then holy shit push for a better government. I'm certainly trying to. Don't throw your hands up and go "we've tried nothing and we're all out of ideas"

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @K3Nv2 that's crazily expensive. how long will that take to pay off?

    Although diet is largely education, people don't need to go to university to learn what's healthy and what's not,
    it's the whole country, big corporations and advertising that is to blame for leading most of the population to believe that poptarts and froot loops are healthy to feed a child
