how not to mount a cpu

[frederic2707]

my niece evelyne has a basic pc(a old one at that) and it broke down so she went to our local pc store and asked how it could be fixed in the end he sold het a athlon x2 64 for 100 euros when she got home she asked on yahoo answers how she has to mount it and a troll responded with just tape it on a thing that sticks out of your motherboard and she did that and was suprised that it did not work and then called me to come and have a look this is what i found in her pc

I acutally laughed out loud when I opened these.. Poor thing!

I had a guy bring a FX-8350 jammed into an AM2 socket. Looked like this:

Bent..pins..brain surgery.. And the 8350 is now in my very own "Rigpeice" at my house, free of charge There's a story of course, but I've told it enough times haha

Edit: Can look here: New Toys Thread and my story ..if it meets your fancy, I don't feel bad

That's one powerful tuner card. I guess I'll tape my old processors onto my mobo and go post about my new 4P folding rig in the Folding@Home section now.

Yall are laughing about being tricked into taping the CPU onto another card. Meanwhile the first thing I see is "he sold her a athlon x2 64 for 100 euros" WTF! I sold 17x Athlons of that era with 2 motherboards, and 4 sets of ram for about 120 euros about 2 moths ago. Poor girl shes just getting screwed on all sides with that deal.

I figured it was a fake post because it doesn't have a link to the Yahoo question so I just went on the funny picture.

Tell your niece to come to OC Forums first the next time she wants to do an upgrade. We'll treat her better than those yeyhoos on yahoo.
