Thanks for the advice

it's carbon based so it won't fry your shit if you apply to much by accident

You’re only supposed to apply as much as a dot, right?

theres different ways you could go by doing it

some do a small X on the cpu i just do a pea size dot right in the middle

the heat/pressure of the heatsink will spread it for you

Yeah, JayzTwoCents made a point that if you spread it our before applying the heatsink that you were more likely to get air that would disrupt heat transfer trapped in there

well ive had this cpu for about 5 years

my temps have always been in the 30s or below at idle

at true idle id probably be at 27-28

My father has had his for pretty near a decade; it’s an old Phenom II 6X

i had a phenom ll 98something

the late 900 series

It’s old AMD junk, that’s what it is

I’m sorry, but outside of TF2, I am firmly on Team Blue

the cake is a lie

...

No

I refuse

CAKE IS NEVER A LIE

just wait till that spy backstabs you

I MUST HAVE MY CAKE

my father is in his late 50's hes been around home computers since they came out and i learned everything from him

nowa days he comes to me

😂

though granted he can still put a pc together better than i can

My dad wouldn’t let me put mine together

3300 Canadian dollars after taxes that I won’t get to peel the plastic off

you say it's your first pc?

Yeah. To be fair, it is a machine intended for college as I’m taking game design, but it wasn’t even that he thought I couldn’t put the computer together. He thought I’d screw up installing windows

well don't let it get you down its ok if its the first pc

Eventually I plan to just get the cheapest parts on. the market and then just practice with those

Like

2005 office desktop parts

well if you can ever find one of those computer stores that has lots of old parts

ever look up "metaljesusrocks" on youtube he went to a place like that and got them to build him like the best pc of the 90s?

I haven’t, no

But it does sound interesting

yea hes a cool dude lots of videos on retro consoles etc

he has a man cave with over 7k games and 50 consoles

Holy hell
