Post the worst thing you've ever done to a computer of yours involving modding and overclocking. Ex: "I did not leak-test my loop and water went everywhere but somehow my hardware wasn't damaged"(now that's pushing it)
Once... I was volt-modding my 5700Ultra(PCIe) while my computer was still on, sparks flew, my computer crashed and restarted... everything worked fine! I had all of my fans turned off on my computer (when I underclock I can switch to passive with my gallium loop installed) so I forgot that it was on... and my screensaver is set to blank.
Another time... the heatsink fell off of my NB (the clip snapped) My computer horridly crashed... a little smoke was given... I stuck it back on with a steel clamp, applied some AS5... and it worked! NF4-U FTW
It was a bad idea to use tape to hold that clip together...
Last time I let my mom use my computer... she was downloading something slowly and got very bored, so she was alt-tabbing through all my windows out of boredom and the voltage controller in my background somehow it gave a "low voltage" warning... she set my CPU to 1.9volts My computer overheated to 80 degrees and it cut-off... and when i tried to turn my computer on... it was still at 1.9 volts(I was using my modded stock HS at the time and the voltage controller was software based so i assumed she didn't alter the BIOS) and my computer turned it'self off again, I crapped myself... and yelled at her over the sound of my computer LOUDLY WHIRRING A LOUD BEEP DUE TO IT OVERHATING.
I'm expecting my 4400 to die much sooner now.
