I7 4790 cooler

I just put together a 4790k system and have the same problem. The stock cooler Intel provides is a piece of crap. I wouldn't mind paying another $20 for them to include something adequate, but they would rather penny pinch to keep costs down I suspose and include a piece of junk.

Louis Theroux La stories 2

I don't post often. Hell I can't remember the last time I posted to this forum. It was likely many years ago. Anyway I'm calling out the anandtech sense of legitimacy. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy Louis Theroux but this program is silly. I suspect they cut out many people's stories to...

Billy Corgan jams out to Siddhartha? In other news, Corgan hires Axl Rose's trainer

holy cow look at all that equipment. My advice to corgan would be lock yourself in a room with a guitar and fast. He would probably come up with something simple and brilliant.

Never watching Football live again

for NFL reg season I toss the local games on some side tvs and put redzone on the main tv and that stays pretty entertaining for the early games. for college football I have a room with 8 tvs and can usually get a game on each of them by splitting cable and running some espn3 on some xbox...

RIP Blockbuster

I hardly ever post on these forums anymore but felt the need to chime in here. The death of the video rental store is the end of an era. My dad, to this day still runs a mom and pop rental business. He doesn't make much money and his business will likely end very soon as he retires. Years...

I saw Oblivion and it was Awesome

I enjoyed it. The soundtrack was pretty good and the movie had a few interesting concepts. It was decent sci-fi which is rare. I think it could have used more freeman and less top gun shit but overall I enjoyed it enough that I'll probably get the blu-ray. those drones are so evil, it was a...

Apathy and refunds are more dangerous than Piracy

just want to toss in my opinion that I thought super meat boy was awesome, one of my favorite games of all time. I completed it 100%. It's a pure fun platformer and easily lets you move on to other levels if you get frustrated. if you are willing to put in a lot of time it is really rewarding...

The most badass scene in any movie, ever?

Errol Morris First Person season 2, episode 6 "Leaving the Earth" the last 15 minutes or so. It's real, it's tragic, it's uplifting, it's sad, it's amazing, it's badass, not in the silly fiction sense most of you are posting about, but real life heavy shit. I try to remember to watch it...

top 10 most dangerous airlines to fly

if you are stupid enough to think 755 dead out of the tons of flights china airlines has had is a "good chance" then you should play the lottery, there's a "good chance" you will win by your logic. It's a terrible chance in both situations.

Poll: Which religion would the world be better off without?

I actually see praying for someone and telling them as a selfish act. If you simply pray for someone and tell no one guess what? it will have no effect. If you simply tell someone you are praying for them but don't really do it, it will have the same impact as telling them then praying 24...

Family fulfills dead son's wish of $500 tip for pizza and video tapes it

from now on whenever these people go into a restaurant, waiters and waitresses are going to expect that monster tip and maybe even fight over who gets the table. sounds terrible. they will probably need to find a different way to do it.

Why did this gen of console go on for so long?

Omg so cute!

growing up one of my friend's next door neighbors had one. it scared the shit out of everyone even though it was behind a fence and on a leash. the thing was vicious. As a kid I wouldn't get anywhere near it. I think the owners were morons though.
