Awesome thread. Thanks!

I had this dilemma recently as well. I wasn't sure if I could use my chassis to ground myself because it's painted black. Also, I read all these alarming articles saying that while shorting may not be initially visible, it could silently degrade performance over time. So I bought one and put it...

Jesus, how did I miss this thread when I was building my first computer last month? Good stuff. Putting in Memory Sticks I would like to say that my motherboard's setup was such that I had to put my memory sticks not next to each other but staggered. 1a, 2a, 1b, 2b. was the layout. All the...

lehtv: Thanks! Zardnok: On to overclocking!

Thanks!
