This is golden. The 2nd episode is even better imo.

Could someone with the K90 please measure it's length :/ Can't seem to find the info anywhere.
I have a sneaky feeling it's not going to fit my desk

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

500mm by 220mm (including the wrist-rest).

What's your preferred method of applying thermal paste ? I'm a vertical-line-man myself.

A decent size dot in the middle, it sorts itself out after that.

Depends on the chip, for quad-core CPU's I use dot method but it's more of an "stretched-out" dot down the middle (nearly a line) since that's where the cores are located.
For huge GPU chips (e.g. GF110) I use X method.

For a smaller chips like i5 3570K/3770K I would always use dot method though.

[BicycleMafioso]

For CPUs? Spreading serves little point. Dot-method in the middle. As always with thermal compound; Rather too little than too much, but extremes in both ends are worse yet. :P
The actual cpu is a small portion under the heatspreader. Covering that area is the most important part, the rest is just bonus. It spreads itself more than it needs to that way, so yeah.
GPU? A careful dot.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

A small blob where the actual processor bit is. I think the "spreading" method opens up the possibility of air bubbles forming between the heatsink and the CPU, and air is a fantastic heat insulator.

Anyone else ready to mlg-360-noscope-aimassist-limited-fov-max-aa-x4 some zombies?



I'm such an actisheep

Sorry I can't hear you over all that money the game has already made.

[Evil Inside]

Not too into the recent fps besides BF3, I was excited about getting Assassin's Creed 3 but then I saw that they're doing a staggered release for pc >.< It sucks, but I guess I'm better off since I found a way to get the deluxe version for $46 instead of the $80 at retail price.

Inux, did you get the mass effect 2 error?

Never bothered using the discs, it was simply too slow, used steam download instead :P

It concerns me that thare's no manual in the box though, I enjoy reading those on the toilet.

Edit: Just checked my disk, was a regular disk =/

[Evil Inside]

Lol well that's an interesting error.

[Xuvial]

LOL how the actual fuck?

Still, I don't get it why he was so angry. He just got one of the best RPG's of all time (probably my favorite RPG actually), disguised as a Black Ops 2 disc.

It's a sign!
