i'll try not to let it happen again sir :p

looks like almost everyone else on the thread has had it happen to them..even ribbon13. so it happens to the best of us ;)

You know...if my hair got caught in a fan when I was working inside a case, that could get really bad. :Q

luckily most chicks don't evar take the side of the case off, othewise i'm sure it would happen ;)

My gf took the side of hers today :)

hawt.

:camera:s?

It wasn't very hawt. I just took her ram out and sold it to a friend of mine heh.

She had two x 512mb pc2100 and now she has 512mb pc2700

Sold an 1800+ w/ ECS K7S5A + the ram for $90

poor her ;) esp for sims2 i'd say she wanted the gig ;) or does the extra speed make it fairly the same?

roflmao, dude, I did this TWICE; once by accident, and once due to curiousity.

Both times, My finger split and blood gushed out. The first time was when I accidently put my finger into a delta 120 mm fan. ouch.

the other time, my friend had some ultrapowerful sunon 80mm. That one cut my finger to the bone. PHOK, blood splattered everywhere. omg.

Curiosity? I'm pretty sure I don't want to know what my finger feels like being chopped by a 5000rpm fan. :laugh:

i'm with Synth there :shocked:

I've only done a 4800rpm like I mentioned earlier... guess I'm a pvssy :(

:p

My CPU fan runs at 4800, but I guess I possess the rare good sense not to stick my finger (or anything else) in there. ;)

It's running at 266 because the processor is only a 1800+ too. I only put in the extra 512 for her last week when I remembered I wasn't using it anymore. I asked her to specifically notice if it seemed to make sims2 play any better and she said it didn't.

She does have a radeon 9500pro though, which is a pretty bada$$ card for a girl heh.

I had the good sense to get an A64 with the stock fan which doesn't seem nearly as dangerous heh

is it a t-bred or a palamino? Cos my t-bred (B0 stepping) easy cranks the fsb up to 166, and would hit 200 i reckon with a pci/agp lock (i'm stuck at 185)...

They were both palaminos. I made about 6 or so computers with 1800+ processors when they were the best speed/performance ratio... which seemed to be about 6-8 months.

Poor thing. :brokenheart: :p

My T-bred 1700+ (1466MHz) is running quite happily at 2400MHz and has been doing so since August 2003. I paid $45 for it then. ;)

Yeah, that would hurt a lot. My fan is a Thermaltake and maxes out at around 6500 RPMs. That would hurt like a biotch for a couple of days (that is if i had anything left of my finger).

if that... palos could be very slow. i had some that would never go even 100mhz over stock:p that being said they were dirt cheap

If you know which way the blades are spinning, you can stick your finger in any computer fan safely. It's the angle of attack that matters. Go against the direction of travel and you'll chop skin, go with it and you'll just have the fan blades slapping your finger.
