I'm thinking it probably was on too thick and overheated the cpu... either way, the person in question seems like an exquisite example of stupidity... people like that do things like this

What a douche... I hate people like that

Thats almost as bad as when my buddy decided he would build his own machine. He called me over after it wouldn't turn on and asked me to take a look. I can smell a nize ozone odor already, and see a unopened bag of small parts on the floor. Opening the case showed that he didn't use any risers for the motherboard, and screwed it directly to the case. Massive frying.

Oof. Poor bastard.

The more stupid stuff I hear about, the luckier I feel about my first computer building going off flawlessly as far as hardware assembly.

Just let the retard waste his money, haha. He can just get pissed at the guy who had no idea what he was doing.

That's awesome!!

I know very little about computers, but at least I know I know nothing. Before i built my machine I did my reseach and them practiced by taking apart my old one a putting it back together.
