wow

Ok that's something.

that was the first time i was working with computer hardware

it was an old like 1998 pc ofc cuz it was in my classes

Thankfully I ever only damaged a PC because I was a retard and touched that poor innocent gpu while it was running and -bzzt- rip in pieces, year-old 550ti

I got a 750ti two years later and a gtx 1080 4 after that with the new pc

And that's enuff with upgrades until like 2025 <:smugon:512048583806025739>

closest to damaging me hardware like that i've did was killing a drive because i used ccleaner on 35pass deletion ALL the time like an absolute autist

ive been running a 1050ti the past two years still going strong

Oh yea, I've been doing that too

ohmygod why

what child porn do you have that a cleaning is EVER neccecary

all you need is 7 pass max

That drive was 15 years old the last time I used it (my first drive, mighty 60 GB) and it was still holding up great.

you dont need any passes if youre just deleting files

i was autistic and thought there was a benefit to doing that for regular-ass ccleaner runs

Ironically, it's a seagate barracuda which apparently have one of the highest failure rates. Maybe the newer models... 🤷‍♀️

I've been running GTX 750 for the past four years

also why unless u dirt poor you'd use a 1050ti

I'd kill for a 1050

even my r9 380 outperforms a 1050ti

ive just never could be bothered to upgrade

DUDE IM SO MAD

fuck, maybe even a 900 series something

I bought 750Ti black back then (2014). Basically the best you could go before 760 and boy I didn't have money for a 760.

i sometimes use my monitor as a sepaker when im trying to do something around my room and watch videos

and it worked fine

the "number bigger = better" thing is pure bs tho

recently updated drivers from adrenalin 2018 to 2020 and now i cant use them as speakers

fuck me

dear god just kill me

It replaced the 550ti and for a change I didn't kill it <:comfort:592107824826417204>

Not that the videocard was the only instance my computer broke, but usually it was like... lightning strikes that blew out the PSU and mobo. Or that time I upgraded with a massive 160 GB drive, one gb ram and that 512 MB radeon and the tech who put it together for me (didn't know cumputers that much back then) was like "yea, we started it, it sort of sputtered and gave up". So I had to upgrade the PSU too

why is your psu so shit that it let your mobo blow out

psu should be 50$ minimum

Imagine how much poverty he could fix if he used his campaign funds he’ll inevitably waste<:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

price means shit. if price was a reliable indicator of quality, apple products would be the absolute best

It was a 2005 ish PSU for a 2003 computer, don't ask me. My parents were completely illiterate about computers and at the time so was I.

well ofc im talking 50$ on a good brand

good brands, price is an indicator of quality
