Full extent of Windows 10's data collecting...WOW!

Who cares? You're constantly leaking all of that data anyway, it doesn't matter what operating system you're using, do you know how often your equipment/system configuration is blasted over the internet every single day? Microsoft have actually declared it and they've provided opt-outs which...

MSI 970A-G43 MS-7693 Bios

Sometimes MSI changes the way it labels it's Bios updates. My bios ended up with 1.F or something, and then all of the new updates have been 1.0 - 1.4 when realistically the latest would be 1.10. If you're sure of your motherboard model I wouldn't be too worried about it.

MSI Z270 Tomahawk a good board?

I'd recommend it. MSI motherboards have gotten so much better in the past two years, they've worked out of all the deficiencies that other brands are still suffering from and aren't fixing. Excellent fan control, Intel NIC, Intel Wifi (not that board), Intel SATA controllers/raid. Only two...

Half of all white heroin users started by initially using prescription drugs

There might be, but it wasn't any less addictive. I still needed it pure 24/7. I still spent every penny I had on it and it still took the place of medication I needed for physical disabilities and mental illness but wasn't given until they realised all of the problems. I was awake for 80 hours...

Can this radiator still be used?

Yes, Sorry about that, it was more of a personal question. I had blue stuff on top of nickel plating on some parts. I was just wondering if I used too much resulting in a stain as opposed to corrosion. I guess I'll need to examine them and see if it's something I can remove.

The motherboard has an Asus O.C. socket. The board did it my theory and not absolute fact. It'd be interesting to see if Intel actually attempts to diagnose the processor instead of just recycling it/binning it and replacing it. A whole bunch of people tackled Asus who've not done the right...

It's bent otherwise it'd be uniform. I'm sure the Amazon guy meant well but failed to spot such a small defect. I wouldn't risk the new CPU. Enough hassle, next time you build you'll want everything to work and the instant stress relief that comes with it.
