Having my cubical next to the office bathroom just stinks, pun intended.

Did you move to a new cubicle or have you always had it next to the office restroom?

He must've gotten 'Chetty' with his boss.

ID-10T is an "error code" and not bad language. Heh.

Unfortunately, after some troubleshooting hoops and reinstalling the OS, I will RMA the board. Hopefully, it is a bad SATA port and the RMA will fix it.

Take some time to get some compressed air cans and clean off your rig, Baan.

stop trying to defend yourself. regardless, you got kick back ;p

awww man that sucks. sucks that you gotta take everything out too. did you read to see if it's a common problem for others too?

too lazy to take the computer outside and spray it

I fried an APG slot becuzz I wuz too lazy to blow out the Zalman heatsink fins once. The sink was so full of dust that all of the heat went to the motherboard and straight to the apg slot, right below the cpu.

This has been my spot since we relocated 5 years ago. It's also thin walled and I can appreciate the entire process with the patronizer. Good times.

True, he is one of the bigger offenders.

Kick back? From the TF you mean? If I knew it was going to be in the title, I probably should've used ID-10T in the original quote.

It's not that hard to take apart. I just don't like messing with the CPU. So I picked up some thermal goop. I wanted to get Tuniq but it wasn't fulfilled by Amazon so I got Noctua and Arctic Clean kit.

I finally got the 1TB SSD I want to use to install programs too. I installed it last night and the rig is done... for now. Now I got to take it apart and ship the mobo.

Now that sounds like dust bunny haven. They multiply exponentially, I believe.

I looked at my old tower with only a few dinky 80mm fans. My only saving grace was probably that the tower was big that it allowed enough circulation to prevent overheating.

Nitrogen works more quickly, and does not combust.

Nah. Kraken X61 works like a charm. Changed out the fans with Venturi which makes them easier to install in pull config (rubber grommets on the fans) and quiet too.

Having problems with the sata ports. Did some troubleshooting and reloading drivers with tech support but no joy. So, sent it out to RMA.
