I decided to clean out the inside of my computer and now somehow my GPU is hitting 100 degrees C whenever I run a game. I've reapplied thermal paste to it twice, which did not help, so now I'm at a loss.

This might be a stupid question but how well did you clean off the old paste before reapplying?

If the fan still works, I personally would factor 'its hosed anyway' into my new GPU clock speed setting and see if I can make the bitch glow.

Don't do this until the divorce is actually completed. You need to be the perfect, sad, loyal husband throughout the process.

Also I recommend against alcohol because it's too easy to call/text/email her with something you regret.

Who was our recently divorced goon? He had a lot of trouble but did everything right and finally seemed to be happy again after proceedings were done. You should PM him.

I don't have much in the way of seasonings or spices yet, and I was craving chili. This was the easy mode.

It's decent. Not fantastic, but it's not bad. Needs a bit more fire, and a bit less salt.

For a kit, the Carroll Shelby one isn't bad. It at least includes a packet of actual red pepper to adjust the heat with.

Not to dive down the political wormhole or anything, but I've been seeing some really brazen poo poo in comment sections lately. I'm in a bit of a funk; however, it's been nothing but the worst in humanity.

There was an article on Lanesplitter or something about a dude on a motorcycle who was on the receiving end of a bad driver, and while he was mildly aggressive and rightfully pissed off, he found a cop in a parking lot a block down the road, justice served, etc.

The comments?

I understand your initial frustration. People are stupid; But staying next to her putting yourself even further into harms way seems silly. On top of that you went out of your way to get the police involved. You could of very easily sped up a bit to get in front or slow down and go behind. If I argued and instigated a confrontation everytime some idiot disnt see me or cut me off I would never ve able to get anywhere. I'd be stopping every few minutes to call the police or fight with someone. This lady was clearly in the wrong but I think your pride and what appears to be a little bit of entitlement turned this into something more. The best thing for both parties would if been to leave it alone. Then again you posted a video that got a bunch of views so... Maybe Im wrong.

The ones on Lanesplitter weren't that much better with a bunch of loving moral policemen going "WELL TWO WRONGS DON'T MAKE A RIGHT AND BOTH OF YOU TECHNICALLY DID A BAD THING; THEREFORE,".

Never mind that the news this weekend about Donald Trump is that he shared a thing that was created on /pol/ with "MOST CORRUPT CANDIDATE EVER" text in a Star of David shape, which was later changed to a circle, but the fuckin' comments on the news articles about this are some 11th dimensional chess:




People will go out of their way to be genuinely awful when given the chance. Words have no meaning, etc.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Today I found one of the few who bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT while getting into my Challenger who of course asked if it was a Hellcat which it isn't but ok everyone asks that but then claims that his Jeep is doing low 12 passes stock and that my car is slow as it is not an SRT. Of course it was pointed out that as a Scat Pack it has the SRT 392 and that while the Challenger is a big old beast it is still going to be lighter than a full size SUV but you see I was wrong because the 4WD system makes the difference. Voted 5 would visit New Hampshire again :gary:

I assume you have made sure that there's no crud jammed up inside the heatsink? The squirrel cage design seems particularly susceptible to plugging up in ways not immediately obvious until you take the heatsink all the way apart (instead of just off).
