Also I discovered that I was due an upgrade of my internet fiber, so I requested an upgrade from 50 to 100 mbps for free! It should arrive tomorrow. yay |
i feel like such a pleb having only 50 Mbps.
I mean, that's all I really need anyway; I don't do any heavy gaming or anything of that nature, so going any higher seems rather unnecessary. |

Just last year I was upgraded to 60MB p/s. Makes downloading games on the XBOX One a breeze.
|
I think once I get a PS4 and a Switch I might upgrade to faster internet speeds, but I think even then 50 Mbps would suffice for the most part.

*has 50 down and 50 up*
|
I have 40 down and 8 up... never had any issues though... but seeing everyone else in college have like 400 makes me wonder
|
I don't even know what my upload speeds are. Probably sub 10.
|
I have 50/10, from now on it should be 100/20.

Sister's PC parts came in today except the GPU and the SSD... Probably the first time im building a PC from scratch and having to apply thermal paste... this can't possibly go wrong right? :P

As for the thermal paste I recommend you the rice method, apply a small dot in the middle of the heat spreader of the CPU and when placing the heatsink on top it's gonna spread evenly as shown in this image: Spoiler:

I agree with Raff, it's actually pretty simple... I mean most stuff only fits in one spot anyways.
Though unlike the Raff-meister I was always taught to apply a thin but even layer of paste over the whole top. Then again that might just be the Military way as my teacher operated systems in the field during Desert Storm so idk. It's worked well enough for me! |
I recommend at least a pea-sized dot in the exact center with thermal paste, as when you lie the cooler on top of the CPU, it will spread evenly and not make a mess at all.
Here's an example on how NOT to apply thermal paste: Spoiler:

I've had a windows 10 box for a little while now, it's just a slim laptop. I noticed it right from the start going slow, and one day I got curious why. So I looked at the C drive's information, it's little 29 gb were almost full. So I uninstalled a bunch of crap, but mind you, I had only used it a handful of times. I got it down to about 24gb, but I still don't understand how it can be so full when I've barely done anything with it.
wtf is clogging that muk? :X |
Yea the only issue I would face is the thermalpaste, the rest is doable for me. Thanks for the help! :D
