So I have officially achieved one of my childhood dreams and built my own PC, took me a while to save up enough to to afford it and yes it's not the best but it's mine and I love it :)12

If enough competent developers got jobs at Comcast all at once we could overthrow management and make the internet better one cable modem at a time.1

Retards at /r/pcmasterrace are laughing at this dialogue. Kind of shows how many of those people actually knows about PC.3

I'm disappointed by the lack of multi-monitor desktop for profiles.
Also lack of sarcastic t-shirts1 -

I'm not sure if I really should have celebrated 1024++ by buying myself a desktop PC.
But I really prefer it over any kind of laptop. 😸2 -
So I saw an Asus laptop/powerhouse today with overclocked i7 64GB DDR4 RAM and two Nividia GTX1080.6

From one pc problem to the next, today while I thought everything was fine, my pc probably overheated and now the motherboard doesn't seem to boot anymore (rgb turns on, but the lights indicating the current step of the boot don't). I panicked and thought maybe it was the CPU, because it was my first time applying thermal paste and did the thing where I ripped the cooler off the motherboard and the CPU attached to it, which I only learned in retrospect that that was a thing. I slightly bent 2 CPU pins doing that.
So far no reason to be overly pissed than panicked, but then I decided to ask on r/pcmasterrace (or masterinsolent) and boy, probable because I mentioned the game I was playing I was only getting responses like "OP dumb, game doesn't do that. I love this game so much I let the developers fuck my wife while I am playing" instead of trying to help or clear up misunderstandings.
Thankfully a system/server admin I know was able to provide me with advice to fix the bent pins, but the motherboard itself still seems pretty dead.
I'll plug the cpu into my older motherboard tomorrow and see if that might be the reason. If you have additional advice, I would appreciate it4
