Lol see? But you learned something because you tried and now you have IT skills! That's how you develop new skills in anything. People don't realize that and get pissed when people suggest that they try.

Here's the thing in the workplace - "Any other duties assigned to fit the needs of the company" I'm guessing you've worked union jobs where "separation of duties" is a thing. I see the value of separation of duties in certain instances, and I've worked union jobs where that is a thing. On the...

Yes, I agree with this completely. This is a big problem. IT basically holds non-IT people hostage and INTENTIONALLY keeps people in the dark and as helpless as possible. This is so you have power over them. This is similar to software developers who intentionally write source code to be...

"The company pays you to fix those tech problems. The Company pays your coworker to do accounting. Why should she spend additional time learning something that is not within the scope of her job duties?" Oh, the old "it's not my job" line. Got it. I've heard that a lot. Usually from people...

I just want to be clear - I am not criticizing non-IT people for not knowing everything. I am just commenting that we as a society have become way too helpless and way too dependent... and, when being confronted with a problem results is actual FEAR of the problem and FEAR of doing anything to...

Yes, I understand that. I also understand the dangers of keeping most of society helpless and dependent. Let me ask you this. Let's say the light bulb burns out in my closet. I decide to call an electrician to replace it because I never changed one before and I am worried "it would be on me"...

Ironic. I have a z170 motherboard on my desk, yet no CPU for it.

"The other is an aluminium with a copper base for 95W." Hmmm... I have an Ivy Bridge i7-3770 that came with the Intel stock cooler with the copper in the center of the cooler. So, basically, I can just take the stock cooler that came with the Ivy Bridge and use it on the i7-6700K at stock...

found the answer... nm.

Hi everyone- I haven't seen any discussion regarding coolers for people not overclocking on Skylake. For those of us *not* overclocking on the Skylake i7-6700k, is a more intensive air cooler needed with the 95w TDP? Would the stock heatsink/fan that came included with my i7 ivy bridge...
