sin0822 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 ...when you go out on Friday night to the mall, but to search for a bigger stainless steel thermos so you waste less LN2, after you gave it enough thought you realized you would save more LN2 if you opened the top and poured it into a larger container that would stay colder, thus less dewar exposure. Â ...When you regularly go to an art store to find a specific brand of eraser, and the lady asks "are you an artist?" and you say hell no. And she doesn't give you a weird look. Â ...When your benching rig is 10x more expensive and better than your main rig, yet you spend 1/5 the time on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 You bench too much when you switch your thermal paste to one that is 8x more expensive and consider the 3% MHz boost totally totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K404 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 I know how you feel, I have 2315 messages in my ebay outbox and only 327 in the inbox  You bench too much when you NEED a copy-paste set of questions to send to Ebay sellers.    Hi. Please can you tell me the batch code for this CPU? It's the bottom line of numbers on the surface of the chip.  Thanks!  Kenny   Hi. Can you tell me if this card is a revision A2 or A3?

Crew Antinomy Posted February 27, 2012 Crew Share Posted February 27, 2012 ...when you spend more time on HW's sites than Pr0n's ^^ dammit I've failed this one. Â Â When you know all CPUs that are installed in the computers at work. And their steppings. And you definitely have checked their overclocking potential months ago.
