I know mine has a 60 down 70 up thing going on.

And.... Chicago is Chicago you say? :P

Not too great for being your home city! Especially considering you're not even 1mbps faster than your test to Denmark... xD

Also, worth noting that I have 2 VPN tunnels up at all times with activity, and I am running WoW right now? Not sure how much effect that has.

Harvard probably has a decent internet connection. My University in Mannheim, Germany gives me a gigabit internet connection.

Probably not a whole lot, actually.

And personally, our cap at my house is like 24/25 down, 4 up. So. Yeah. =|

Our theoretical download bandwidth is meant to be 16Mbit and upload something like 1Mbit. Not that we actually get that, of course.

Man that's awful.

I discovered I can pay an extra $10 a month to bump up to 80 down/8 up with Eastlink.

I'm not sure if I want to because the shitty SBG6580 modems they give out have issues with bridge mode past 40mbps down from what I hear.

**Kurumi** · 2012-08-10, 02:32 AM

Feelin' bad, mine is 128kbps bandwidth , which is slower than 99% of my country. Average is 50mb, and the guys from the capital get over 100mb. (RDS isp)

I got my new on some days ago , and can't say it's thermal paste was garbage. My processor never got over 52C , even in full load (~35C in idle). Outside was 41C yesterday.

They don't offer any other device, and you can't use your own.

In other news, my Movies folder just broke the 600gb mark and is still growing as I replace all my obsolete 360p DivX movies with 720/1080p and expand the collection

Will need another HDD soon >_<

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-08-10, 03:31 AM

My torrent folder, which I only use for legal torrents - obviously - is >700 GiB large.

And that's due to me being lazy and not moving those to the Movies/Series/Music/pr0n categories.

**Xuvial** · 2012-08-10, 08:51 AM

Oh if we're counting in Music and Pr0n then that's also ~700gb for me

Need to keep a separate movies folder for the family to watch...family things...

**tetrisGOAT** · 2012-08-10, 09:06 AM

And if we count already moved content

**Drunkenvalley** · 2012-08-10, 09:46 AM

Protect the files.~

I've been holding off installing my new RAM for over a month now.

There's something about unplugging a few PSU cables, removing the bottom GPU so I can access the top GPU, remove the top GPU so I can access the sound card, remove the sound card so I can access the CPU-fans, remove the CPU-fans so I can access the CPU heatsink, remove the CPU heatsink so I can access the RAM..
And it's only 2x4GiB RAM anyway.

**Drunkenvalley** · 2012-08-10, 11:12 AM

...What. How the heck did the process of adding RAM become so complicated for you?

**Asera** · 2012-08-10, 01:30 PM

When you fill up a Define R3. I know the feeling.

Unfortunately, not all Swedes have super speeds.

I'm glad we're getting fiber in 6-12 months. It's cost $2700 per house for them to supply us with fiber, but you know, investment for the future.

Who would have known, hard-drive cages make for a brilliant way to stop your window from closing when you don't want it to

Well. Noctua NH-D14. DirectCuII.
Sound card cramped inbetween.
GPU placed below DCII without space, with s-ATA cables coming out between them (straight-out rather than side-of-the-motherboard).
I don't believe there are areas of the motherboard that I can see. :P

**Xuvial** · 2012-08-10, 02:30 PM

Well I dunno what the DCII or the soundcard has to do with it, but some more LP ram should fit under the D14 just fine right?
