CIPWTTKT&GC v0X12 (v18): Makol can't Computer Very Good

The other day my english teacher wanted to show us something. She did write down the URL of the site and told us to click on a specific link on that site.
[sp]the link was a google ad that was long gone when all in the class started up their PCs[/sp]
Yesterday, I tried to assemble my PC with my new computer boards, I decided to test my build before I installed it in.
my Mainboard didn't recognize my RAM FUCK!
I always have the 1 short 2 long beep error code(no RAM installed).
I called my asus support, and they tried to solve the problem alongside with me.
they assured me, that all the components are 100% compatible with each other. We did everything that was possible, like CMOS reset only 1/2 Ram sticks in several different slots, reseat CPU...
Now I have to RMA the Mainboard, the RAM, and the CPU (we weren't able to tell, wich component is faulty)
That feeling of pure rage, when you build a PC and it doesen't work.
FUCK :(
Ugh. I'm so mad, I'm about to spent $50 on fucking fans because of bullshit Australian pricing. They're $20 from fucking Aquatuning, but Aquatuning has $65 shipping to fucking Au.
this is bullshit.
How shipping works:
USA: Free
Majority of EU: Free
Everywhere else: $10
Australia: 200AUD

I did the math. These fans would halve my DBa. Want now.
I went through a stage of caring what temperature my components were running at, and how loud my computer is. Now I don't give a damn.
I don't understand why you guys spend $50 on fans just to make things a tiny bit quieter (who really notices the noise while they're doing things anyway?), and make things run 1-2 degrees cooler.
I have a 480 with a reference cooler, loud fans don't really bother me anymore

unless they are delta fans

Tiny bit quieter? These fans will literally halve my noise. One of my main issues right now is constant noise during voice chat which I do a LOT. I do also use my PC without my head phones, a lot. The constant whine is insufferable, not to mention I'd like to sleep when I move my PC into my room next week. Don't just judge everyone's PC by your own personal averages. Not to mention, right now it keeps my parents up when I'm up late at my PC. I prefer not to be a fucking dick to my family. Think before you post, not everyone is in the same operating conditions, not everyone has the same limits for noise and not everyone will use their PC the same as you.
The 4 HDDs in my PC are the loudest part, the fans are quiet because the Asus P8P67-LE is capable of controlling all my fans and I have a temp/rpm curve set up to keep them low unless the temperature gets very high. It's quiet enough that I can keep it in the same room I do audio work in.
It will be much different if you have you computer at ear level, but why would you do that. Location has a big affect on the sound output.
I should get some of those HDD Isolate/cooler docks, it would be near silent.

If I move to these fans I'm gonna be using a fan controller, my GPU should be the loudest part of my PC then. It's normally silent up to 80% though, past 90% it becomes a goddamn jet engine. Good thing is, it never hits that. Best I've ever seen it hit under heavy load would be 65% and it's idling right now at about 11%. So actually now that I think about it, my CPU heatsink will probably be the loudest part. I've never once heard my hard drives.

Lol pcs can be so gay at times. 8800gt gave up again and it's in the oven. I should definitely stick with apple.

But really though. I cannot wait until Kepler comes out so that I can replace this thing. I'll probably get a whole new computer altogether. In other news, my uncle bought my mom the new iPad.

I thought the "But really though" would give away that I was kidding.

Nah, I just took it out of the oven and plugged everything back in. I should be fine for a couple more months.

Piss off, no one cares
You can say I feel pretty damn stupid for not buying thermal paste and a cooler for the new i5 2500k processor I bought.... Going to have to wait untill next month to actually use the parts I bought, even though I'm getting them today.
*shrugs*

Coolers come with paste.

Even this one?

I thought only the cooler that comes with the CPU came with paste. If what you say is true, fucking awesome. I can save myself $10.

No, almost all CPU coolers either comes with paste preapplied or in a separate package.

Sorry to ask, but would you say the paste that comes with is cheap? I've heard nothing but good things about the Arctic Silver 5, and I'm not sure if the paste that comes with could do as good as a job.

It usually is pretty cheap, but good enough to get you started.

Well I had a 10C decrease in temps when I used MX4 instead but I applied it wrong too.
Most likely it will be 1-2C diffrence.
