    Why is my CPU voltage 3V??

    nah, my mobo is good for monitoring usually...but i mean, cmon...a 1.5V deviation when reporting the VCore is ridiculous. Cant be mobos fault unless it just does not like cpu-z

    now that i think about the physics, it doesn't seem like it would make a difference. The air coming into and out of the bottom fan is going to be the same speed as the air coming out of the top fan..i dunno...suggestions still welcome

    Help me think of a clever custom plate for my car!

    ugh, vanity plates...why do people get plates that say stuff like "MD BABY" or "2FAST4U"...if you do something stupid, it'll be easier for people to remember your license plate. And anyone who would want a vanity plate is likely to do something stupid in a car.
