[Build Complete] - First Build, gfx question by Flunin buildapc

[–]ClockworkSyphilis 1 point2 points ago

Care to go into more detail about the stock heatsink not working?

Was the fan not actually turning while powered on, or was it just not cooling effectively? If the latter, it sounds like what might have happened was that the stock heatsink wasn't seated properly on your processor.

If you wanna try and save yourself $20, you could try reseating the stock fan. Just be sure to adequately clean both the heatspreader on the back of your processor and the contact point on the stock cooler.

Also, how's the case? I've had my eye on it for a while.

Streetmitch is right, the drives aren't specific to cards, only the series, so the 68xx driver is the one you're looking for. However, you might try downloading the drivers directly from that Gigabyte.

Enjoy!

The UI was designed for use with a controller, not a mouse and keyboard, and then hacked together to function on the PC. The UI could have been much, much better.

I hope you weren't implying that consultants regularly screw people.

Wait, so you were able to do 90 minutes of work in 60 because you got a macbook? Care to elaborate?

Yep. Entirely different teams, each with its own budget.

Freelance question - Charge for client calls? by killerklownin Design

[–]ClockworkSyphilis 0 points1 point ago

You should bill for all the time you spend on a project regardless of what is done with that time. If a client wants to spend six hours a day talking, that's six hours you would otherwise be getting paid to design. To be sure, you still have to get those other eight hours of design work done, but you should be billing them for all 14 hours.

Also, avoid clients that try to spend that much time in meetings.

What is the funniest GIF you've seen? by mrpandaguyin AskReddit

Can I use my laptop Windows 7 license on a new build? by Mr_Picklein buildapc

[–]ClockworkSyphilis 1 point2 points ago

Can you: Possibly, but in my experience not likely.

Is it legal: No. The OS on your laptop is licenced to work ONLY on OEM machines from that manufacturer. In my experience, there's some sort of check that happens to ensure the key is being used on valid hardware.

LikeABox has a valid suggestion; there are work arounds for getting a complete install off of an upgrade.

How to Lead in Ballroom Dance? by NomNomNomisin Dance

[–]ClockworkSyphilis 2 points3 points ago

Having had this exact question:

Dance more! It's much easier to know what to lead next if you've already figured it out before you've finished the current pattern. To do that, it's helpful to be super comfortable with what you're doing. To do that, spend more time dancing. Over time, things will start to flow.

Don't worry about it being boring! People generally love helping beginners, especially when they get to see them improve. Also, tensing up and worrying about it being boring will just make it harder. Just relax and dance.

Riddle me this, Reddit. Why is it, using AT&T with my iPhone 3GS, can't a text message go through with no 3G service, yet I'm connected to wi-fi? by delellesin technology

[–]ClockworkSyphilis 0 points1 point ago

Strictly speaking, it's not SMS, which is typically what 'text' refers to. However, alternate forms of messaging are possible
