Boob

I'm thinking this one needs to be cooler. It was shutting off when I didn't have the water cooler attached to it.

Fair

Could anyone here tell me if there is an optimum temperature for a CPU? When I installed the new CPU with my old heatsink and fan, it was trying to run at 147 degrees F, and then at 154 degrees F. Now that I have the water cooler on it, it is running at around 116 degrees F. Is this safe for it, since it still seems a little high to me.

I had a bit of a scare at work yesterday. I will talking with a couple of co-workers that know I was going through depression, but I haven't told why, since there is really no need to. They are both African-American, and one of them likes to joke that I am racist, knowing I'm not. I go along with the joke, since I know it's only a joke after all. The thing that scared me a bit yesterday was that after that joke, he made a joke like, "He (as in me) knows I'm kidding around, like how he wore a diaper on Wednesday." That one really threw me for a loop, as I've told both of these guys that I'm feeling better, but have not even alluded to the reason why I'm better. I forced a laugh, and don't think I aroused any suspicion. Both of these co-workers have said that I can tell them anything, and they won't judge me, but I have serious doubts about that seeing how much they both laughed at the last joke. Sorry if I'm ranting, but I needed to get this out.

Grown

Fail

I would go with super strength and money. I don't want to live forever.

I've told my immediate family, and they were accepting enough I guess. They didn't hate me for it or anything at least, and it doesn't really get brought up much around them anymore. I can't bring myself to tell my closest friends though, since I am still terrified of it ending near life long friendships. Congrats on being able to tell your friend, and at getting a very positive reaction. I wish more people were like that in the world, but wishing doesn't really accomplish all that much.

I got everything installed the other night, but it was overheating. I took it up to Best Buy, and had Geek Squad install a water cooler for me. Now it appears to be working fine.

Got my video card in today. plan to try to install by the weekend. Also my friend at work has an Intel PC, so my old CPU won't work with it. I'll just have to try again about selling it.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. My depression has almost completely gone away since letting my family know my secret, and I've been generally happier with my life. Now I just get ticked off when I don't bowl well enough for my standards on my league, or when work is annoying (most times). I'm planning to go fishing this weekend, and am hopeful that it will go well.

I ordered this yesterday before going to work.

I'm going to buy some paste this weekend, and will probably install it on Sunday.

I got my processor in today. I can't install it yet though, since I don't have any thermal paste (could have sworn I did). This brings me to 2 questions.

I have a friend that is a Bowtie driver, and I might have converted him to the Fusion after giving him a lift home. The sound is awesome too, rearview mirror shakes all the time, but it's still great. I just need to replace it with the Auto-dimming mirror that my Kia had, since my eyes are affected by headlights badly.

I just ordered this for my computer, and will be looking for the graphics upgrade over the next month or so.

Bowling is easily my sport of choice. I bowl on leagues every year, and currently have around a 180-195 average.

I'm back from the pig roast. I didn't wear while there, since I generally only wear around the house anyway. It was fun to an extent. I liked being able to help out in setting it up by helping get the pig on the spit, and wrapped in wire, but I don't really feel like I did that much, and kind of felt like I was just standing around more than anything. The main thing I don't like about going anymore is all the drunks and the country music (not my thing on both counts). I feel out of place while there, since I don't enjoy drinking just to drink and get drunk. I drink very occasionally, and haven't had any alcohol for weeks now. I did sleep better this time, even though the bunk I was on in the camper was really uncomfortable. I told my sister that I really don't know if I'm going next year, since I no longer have much fun there. I've stopped caring about going to the Nascar races in Talladega anymore for the same reasons, and would rather stay home doing what I like to do, which is gaming and bowling mainly.

Not to take away from the topic, but I thought I would add what I use on my computer. These include Malwarebytes, Spybot Search and Destroy, and Microsoft Security Essentials. I was using AVG beforehand, but it kept interfering with a game I was playing, even after putting the game folder as an exclusion. I've had no problems at all while running these 3 programs.

i just got my variety case from Bambino last friday. I've been wearing the Teddys around the house before bed and to sleep, and they feel amazing. So much better than the Tenas.

I got my sample pack of Bambino Bianco in the mail the other day. I can't wait to try these out, but I will probably have to wait until next weekend to have time, so that they're not wasted, and are used properly.

I'll keep those upgrades in mind DailyDi. I'll need to do some saving before I can do this, so that will take a little time.
