Oh yeah.
Riptide basically shoulda been a dlc pack
I would've gone for the 8700k but I don't really do any overclocking and it cost £50 more.
16GB DDR4 RAM, 250GB M.2 SSD 970 EVO and water cooling.
I got the new motherboard about a week ago but I bent the pins in the CPU socket like a dipshit.
Man that’s makes you a dupshit then
how...how tf do you bend the pins?
So I had another one ordered a couple of days ago and it says it'll arrive on the 25th to the 3rd.
Oh by dropping the CPU onto the socket from like 1 inch away and sliding it along thinking it wouldn't do any damage.
If it’s getting delivered to your house, contact your local courier and you can probs get way earlier
Wdym?
Is it getting delivered to your address?
Yes.
I think it's coming from America.
wtf MI come on man
*Sighs* I know...
I know.
If you contact your local courier you can porbably cooperate with him and get it earlier
I have no clue who my local courier is.
I ordered it off of Amazon.
In other words, I haven't trusted myself in the past to build PC's and that incident reminded me of that.
Oh if it’s amazon it should be quick then, I deliver amazon parcels her in Oz and they contract with my conpany, and we don’t get paid if they’re a few days late so I’m assuming they’re doing the same over their
This time I'm going to have my older and way more experienced brother supervising me every step of the way.
First rule of building computers: if it doesn't feel right, stop immediately
Yeah the original motherboard said it would arrive on the 15th to the 20th.
And it ultimately arrived several days before that date.
I've saved countless parts from being broken or damaged by following that rule and looking up videos
Good rule.
I was being more careless than usual (I'm usually incredibly cautious (at least when it comes to static electricity0 because my brother had said I didn't need to worry so much about static electricity.
And I expanded that warning to cover all of the components and PC building in general.
This was the cause of the mistake.
I remember one time I was slapping in a new processor and the arm wouldn't close down on it correctly. Little bit more tension and it still wouldn't go down. Stopped right there and looked up a video only to realize I had one row of pins just slightly out of line.
Saved my ass another hundred some dollars
I still haven't checked to see if my CPU is damaged from that incident (my brother assured me it's fine).
That's a big maybe, it's gold we're talking about. That shit is like the plastic of the metal world. Bends like nothing else.
Hmm...
Well we'll see when the motherboard arrives.
It's still in its warranty so.
Is it? shit no harm no foul then.
Yeah I ordered it less than a month ago.
