I think in all my years of buying open box from the egg, I had one motherboard (Asus WS) that arrived DOA. I sent it right back and was rewarded with a brand new one. Those days are long gone since it switched hands. Bummer.
I did the oven trick on several cards with great success. Last card I baked in the oven was a 980Ti I purchase on flebay for parts or repair. When I tested it, it was sure dead, but the fans spun up. Baked it and sure enough it came back to life. I sold it to a neighbor and he still has it in...
I'm still using spinner drives since they're cheap. A couple of them raided and I got the speed I want and the storage size I need. As long as spinners are cheap, I'll keep using them. I've been trying to get large SSD's at least 10TB, but the prices are still wayy too expensive.
*Edit* I just...
I dunno about you guys, but I quit paying for cellphone service. My last carrier was Tmo, then my neighbor hooked me up with the freebie. I get unlimited everything and it costs me zero. Same exact shit I was paying $70 a month for, I now get for free. Hah!
Suckers! :ROFLMAO:
As a kid I remember living in an old house right under power lines. The house was like 50 feet from the large lattice that hold up the lines. I always had that "your leg fell asleep" feel for years. Once I moved away, that feeling was gone.

Since I have 4 sticks (4x16gb), I added 1.45v to the ram and 1.2v SOC. My ram won't run tight timings so I just used one of the presets in the bios for the ram @ 18-22-22-22-1T. I tried cas 16 with no joy.
Seriously I wished there was an MC near me. There are 2 in opposite directions and each of them are a min of 6hrs each round trip :(
In a way I'm glad because I would begin with a ramen noodle and tea diet in order to have the latest and greatest :ROFLMAO:
Anybody remember CompUSA? First time I went there I thought I died and went to heaven :ROFLMAO: I made ALOT of money building rigs with parts I got from there. A shame they went under.
