How much dust is too much?

Purge your compressor of condensation, and the air will be dry enough. Especially if you don't use the air compressor while the computer is on, haha. I wouldn't do that anyway because of static.

Upgrades for Battlefield 3

It didn't look like that to me :/. Either way, I'm not actually looking for trouble. Yeah. I imagined this was likely the case. My overclocking changes with CPU/GPU also seem to agree with that. Good point. 50 was a number I pulled out of my ass. Forgive me for that. I just don't want to...

Don't forget: Vote for EA for worst company in America

I didn't say JUST because it's popular. Being popular is what ENABLES EA to be so ubiquitously disliked. People are generally petty assholes that get pissed off about stupid shit. EA interacts with the most amount of gamers. What a shock that it would have also offended the most gamers...

Upgrades for Battlefield 3

Agreed. I'm not concerned with benchmark numbers. Sigh. My inability? Overclocking is pretty simple. I could brag about my past overclocking exploits, but that would belay the issue: Anyone with half a brain can overclock. Er, uh, I AM SO OFFENDED. I HAD MY OPTERON 165 AT 1.8->2.8GHZ...

How much better is current mid range video card compared to ps3?

Consoles also have an advantage in that they're all identical, so they get a lot more optimization than the dozens of potential CPU parts.

Upgrades for Battlefield 3

It's the way the computer has been for years. It has worked with many, many other games. The RAM is rated for 1066MHz, but I'm running it at 800MHz, 5-5-5-15. So, I don't expect it's being pushed hard. Also, the RAM settings stayed like this when I returned to stock CPU + GPU clocks...

League of Legends (My thoughts)

It's a fun (and addicting, lol) game with a monstrous learning curve. If you love being a tank that turns the tide of an entire game with a decisive move, try Amumu. His ultimate is an AoE that stuns and damages. Also, his regular moves are all about damage to an entire team. His Q is a...

Don't forget: Vote for EA for worst company in America

EA produces the highest number of popular games. The people have spoken. Yet, someone always has to hate whoever's on top. Do I love EA? No, they're just another company that happens to be successful. Any large success in media will be guilty of pandering to the masses.

Cheapest place to buy car batteries?

They aren't all the same, but you'll get treated well by a regular 3-year warranty'd Wal-Mart battery. 6+ years. ...As long as you don't do something stupid like leave your lights on for 24 hours. If you really want to pinch some pennies, get a smaller, cheaper battery meant for a different...

Do you allow yourself to entertain potentially "bad" thoughts?

I entertain "bad" ideas all the time. There is nothing intrinsically wrong with a thought. Now, some people, they think too much and they get mixed up. Know thyself.

Load optimized defaults from CMOS. Raise memory voltage a couple ticks. Also, make better thread titles :/

What would your 1-2 lenses for a Canon Body at Disney World be?

Keep the Nifty Fifty and use it more :D Also, I'd get the Canon 18-135, personally.

Why my next PSU will be from Seasonic:

Excellent reliability reputation and stories like this are why I bought my first Seasonic PSU two weeks ago.

Megahalem vs H100 for 3930k

It doesn't surprise me the H100 did better. 11C difference might be high, but perhaps your room was a bit colder. How's it doing now?
