- Spent an entire month trying to fine tune my PC because I entered into an overclocking competition, maintained 3rd place until the past week where I got sandbagged by 8 other people and ended up i 11th place, all of which were using LN2 to cool their PCs.

- Ordered some thermal paste for my CPU because I didn't think the stock paste was doing its job, and the paste I ordered increased temps by 10C (which is a lot).

- I then broke one of the mounting clips on my $120 Liquid Cooler trying to fix the issue.

- I now wasted $120 because a screw essentially broke. I am left using the garbage stock cooler util Corsair can (hopefully) send me a replacement.

- (If they can't I have someone who's willing to ship me a replacement for free, or I can spend $10 replacing the mounting bracket)

But really, I am so disappointed in myself. I try to do one thing, and I always seem to fail. I don't want to do anything, I am so worked up right now. Exhausted, and I feel like everything I try to do blows up in my face and everything I buy breaks.

Happy Sunday.

How does one compete in an overclocking competition? Like what is the goal of that?

It does happen sometimes. Life is like that.

When it rains, it pours...

But you must learn to cope with the situation and move on. My mum always used to tell me: "This is just a warm up. There are worse things that'll happen. This is nothing. Steel yourself."

I hope things get better for you soon....And they will. Just have patience and faith.

You and me both, man. At least you have marketable skills you can use to support yourself though, I have faith that you'll one day break free and start living life.

Benchmarks spit out numeric scores that measure different things (e.g. how fast you can render a video). You get points based on how fast you can do something. The top 3 with the most points either get bragging rights or prizes (money, new hardware, ect.)

This doesn't sound like a "massive fucking failure as a human being" just a loss in a competition and some bad luck. Don't be so hard on yourself.

Did you clean the dog shit out of your bedroom? Have you gotten your own place yet?

You should beat yourself up over those things instead.

If you really tried your best, then there's nothing to feel bad about. You might not be the best or the winner, but that doesn't mean you're still not damn good at that thing.

No it didn't. You didn't apply it correctly.


I tried Pea, line and X before the screw ended up breaking and thought there was sufficient coverage.

in my experience the single most challenging part of building a computer is getting the heatsink seated properly. everything else is so relatively easy that you don't expect that one single thing to be that hard, but it is.

Then what did you have to clean up and how did people know about it?

Also your room had dog shit in/on it no exaggeration necessary for that one bro
