I've heard someone actually cut to size so that the RAM (DDR2 if i remember correctly) will fit in the RAM slot (DDR).

No .. no it was DDR3 ... and I didn't just cut it like a fool; I carefully trimmed it with a dremel and delicately finished the process with one of my wife's fingernail files.

Piece of junk still wouldn't fit.

That, sadly, is when the hammer came out.

This thread is great.

Keep'em coming guys. I really needed this after a rough day. Ahahahaha.......

The thermal paste takes the cake. But then again, the lines on the 7800 is where you cut to fit ? ROFL........

Hmm, wonder if a 990X will fit in my socket 775 ?

 

[Idontcare]

wheres that one video of the guy who had the p4 and took the heatsink off and pulled the chip out of the socket and nerd raged afterwards?

After a brief stint as a Britney fanboy he bulked up and now he's making anti-AMD nerd rage videos

Look, we all get it, ha ha let's make generic broadsweeping derogatory remarks about an entire community... meme complete...but seriously there is really no need to go "there" in this thread. :\

Since when did AMDZone represent an entire community?

You must really have contempt for AMD fans if you think they are all like the clowns on AMDZone.

lul I watched some of their other videos as well and they were full of laughs too. Meh they are young though at least they have taken an interest in something besides dope and pop music it would appear.

one of those kids was right, hyper 212+ best value for the money for coolers in that price range. didnt agree on the case though.

I took the rear bracket off of a PCI Firewire card once because I wanted some internal Firewire ports. I had no problem installing it in the slot with the ports facing in, although the computer did refuse to boot afterwards, and there was a slight burning smell.

Lesson learned: Don't buy FIC motherboards, they're garbage. Also, don't install PCI cards in back to front.

lol was that in those pci slots with the notch at both ends?

 

[drizek]

I actually still have the card. I haven't tried using it since... the incident.

Look at it. Doesn't that look like you can install it in either direction? It certainly did to me when I was 14.

However big it is, it needs to be BIGGER!!!

I remember when the P2 233mhz came out with Slot 1. I built a PC for a friend for some games to play, he called me up and wanted to know why no game was on the cartridge, or none of his Nintendo games fit.

That happened on my old P4 once. I didn't have nearly as much compound as in that video, but probably had too much though. I had to slide the processor off the bottom end of the heatsink as it wouldn't budge. The suction between the heatsink and processor was really surprising. Ended up with no damage though and still works to this day.

pretty sure it was a user on AT who posted a story about how he sold a mobo/CPU to someone he knew who then called him claiming it didn't work. When he went over to look at it he discovered that his friend had cut about 4 inches off the bottom of the mobo because it " didn't fit in his case"
