Found out whats wrong...

Jan 19, 2003, 05:51 PM

with my friends computer... apparently the Heatsink didn't have and thermal crap on the botton, so it was the metal touching the core. Now i thought that after he told me he knew how to/all about putting on the heatsink and the processor, i would have thought he would have known that there should have been some there. Oh well... he will break his computer within 3 months watch. But anyway he bought some thermal goop and said that he doesn't want to have to put some more on everyday and i said "you shouldn't have to idiot" but he is going to take back his processor and get a retail. I don't know why... he should just get a new heatsink but whatever. He is such an idiot. I don't even know how he mounted his motherboard. I figured that he would have metal touching his mobo, but apparently he didn't. I don't know how. Oh well

Good one DIG. Who is more stupid? I guess your friend learned from the best General. Hey, you remind me of Gomer Pyle for some reason. YYYYYYYYEAA! I'm calling you Gomer from now on.

edit: General, it's just a joke. Don't take it personally. I aint gonna call you Gomer. I was just a little bit excited.

lol, i knew it was just a joke. And he is a Private. and he seems to think that he knows more about computers than i do. He has thought that for a few years... don't know why, so far everyone else in my "group" has built a computer and i am the only one to not come into a problem with it. One put his DDR in backwards (self explanitory) another took 6 HOURS to put it together (i think it was longer actually) and now this one (aaron) couldn't use it for almost 2 weeks. And he says he knows more than me... HA

Well, you're name does make you prone to an attack. And your description "you wish YOU were stupid" is also quite tempting for some people. Why do you call yourself stupid?

lol, i actually made that screenname like 5 years ago when i was 10. And i just kept it. People started to know me like that, like everyone here on DH

You made the name? or your friends gave you the name

DriveEuro · Jan 20, 2003, 05:24 PM

I wouldn't be proud of a name like that.... But as you were.

Jan 20, 2003, 05:26 PM

i just tend to not care, and most other people don't care... and i gave it to myself

digitalwanderer · Jan 20, 2003, 05:35 PM

..is usually a good sign in my book. I like folks who don't take themselves too seriously! If you can't laugh at yourself how can ya laugh at anyone else?
