With a person unfit as you, there's no way in hell you are getting any legit training
What do you like to do (legally) in your spare time? (aside from wasting time on here of course)
Anything you haven't done but would like to do?
As for me: I like anything to do with cars and motorcycles, going to car and motorcycle shows, and building models of cars and motorcycles. I also like hunting, fishing (on the odd occasion), bush walking, mountain climbing, martial arts training, squash, and tennis.
I wouldn't mind doing up an old chevy hot rod from scratch one day.
I also wouldn't mind learning how to drift and reverse drift. I think that would be pretty fucking awesome.
My hobbies are tinkering with things, reading, and parkour. I've only ridden a motorcycle twice, and it was pretty fun but what I really enjoy is tinkering with them, their open architecture makes them more fun to work with then cars. I also like riding my bike, but as I have been riding it everywhere it has begun to be more of a chore than I hobby.
I have no interests, to my own horror. The second I think of doing something, even something I enjoy for any extended period of time, it loses all appeal instantly. I'm vaguely interested in making videogames, but as I've been without a computer for over a year now, what was left of that interest has been reduced to a faded pipe dream. I guess I'm interested in not doing jack shit.
my interest (as you all know by now lol) is tech related stuff. my dad says i should be a system administrator since i'm always breaking my computer by doing weird things to it and then fixing it again. right now i'm installing arch linux arm to my phone, at first i'm going to install it in a chroot environment just to see if everything works, and then i'm going to see if i can install it as the only os, using the drivers in the android linux kernel so that there's support for all the devices.
Now the kicker
This computer has been sold many times, I keep rebuilding it....... I offer this build and similar with other options, and I push them with 980's or lesser GPU's, I never sold a Titan X, but I'm content to have it for myself, I am a professional after all. I charged everything including the taxes and turned a profit on a count of, no one being able to buy overclocked computers from retailers, and labor fees, no refund is mentioned before I offer 1 year replacement warranty, which is in my possession and I write new invoices for buyers. If they come to me, I go back to where I got it and get a replacement which never happens.
I will sell this computer I'm on now as I do X amount of times a year, and I will keep the faster overclocked processor for myself and sell my promoted 4.0 Ghz i7 machine.
Some of you might wonder why I don't go with the Intel i7-5960 X extreme edition instead. Well, that's because that processor cost $1,000 and it's not as easy to push away as it's 2nd cousin CPU. But in truth, I can have it and it'd be paid for, 3 hobbies ago.
I decided to go to Wiki and look up hobbies and list those I like or have done in the past and might do in the future.
Amateur radio, board games, computer programming, creative writing, DIY, drawing, foreign language learning, gambling, homebrewing, listening to music, painting, playing musical instrument, pet, pottery, singing, video gaming, watching movies, web surfing (crossword puzzles oddly missing from their list), astronomy, foraging, hiking, horseback riding, mushroom hunting, fossil hunting, stone collecting, reading, learning, shortwave listening, aircraft spotting, astrology.
So I guess that is my list.
Damn you. Let this chiptune rip if you read my post.
Make things pay for themselves, and profit. In particular I'll nerd out on desktop PC's. As for me, I'll always have state of the art processing power and so long as I enjoy it, aside from the starting fee, it sustains itself until it literally cost me nothing. ( On a side note, such loopholes brings peace to life )
You need to know what's hot for enthusiasts if you are one.
First you compare versions of the same things, and recognize which one is best.
For the Motherboard, the X99 was my target. Sure the Rampage V mobo is better, but it's also more difficult to flip. Plus there isn't anything on the market that will utilize the overkill features that goes with that. Unless you're catering to some power freak.
You hunt down the cheapest, then go to a place that will price match at the least.
The one on the right, X99 Deluxe, is obviously better, but what makes it so, is it's bluetooth and cloud computing capabilities, BIOS control for overclocking, the freak unheard of lighting fast Wifi, USB 3.0, up to a retarded 64 GIG of RAM capacity, and a whole list that would make you vomit while I'd be required to extend this post more than I wish too. It's the works. People want that, and I want it too. Own it.
When I was doing this one, I was waiting for the GeForce GTX 980 Ti graphics card to be released, they were sold out and extremely hard to get a hold of. What makes the 980 Ti so great, is that it's almost as powerful as the top of the line GTX Titan X. Only difference is a slight variation in clock speed, and this monster has 6 Gigs of DDR5 V RAM, while the Titan X has 12 GIGs of the same RAM. It's about the cost thing really, they are basically the same. However I had to wait. So for the home group shot, I threw in the good old GeForce 750 Ti box to full the void until the part arrived later that week. A bit depressing.
So the situation is this.
- Corsair 760 casing ( cold and spacy with fingerprint proof glass, compartments and shit for everything you'd possibly get for it )
- 16 Gigs of DDR4 RAM. Vengeance by Corsair again.
- Corsair CX 600 Power supply. ( Remember, cost )
- Corsair H100i Liquid cooler.
- 3.3 Ghz Intel Core i7-5820k processor. Be not deceived by the clock speed, this one's packing 15 MB Cache, with 6 physical cores with 12 threads. We'll get back to the clock speed in a minute.
- 1 Terabyte Western Digital HDD.
- GPU ?... Waiting for it....
The Next day....
The wiring is passed through the other side of the tower, keeps things tidy. The master HDD is in place, same with the ram chips and processor and power supply. I pretty much scrap the idea of using CD or BluRay ROMs cause I don't want to use them. The operating systems and all software were later extracted by my phenom machine and HP laptop's CD drive, then ported in Via USB 3.0. Very quick USB mind you.
In the above image, you can barely notice the puny Zotac model GTX 750 Ti GPU. It was a stand in really until that 980 Ti came in. The HDD compartments are quick release which I like, and they can snap to other areas of I wished, but they were fine there. That cardboard box had something in it I can't remember. Maybe some brackets, I just left it there. Use it for back up flash sticks.
In the center we can see the Corsair logo on that cooling block covering the CPU. Those thick hoses of course is where the liquid passes through, then at the top, there's a radiator with twin silent fans positioned to suck inward. This is only necessary if one plans to overclock the CPU. I went for a well tested by 3rd party and cost efficient brand on the liquid cooling which by coincidence happened to be from Corsair again. That was only $100.00.
She runs cold. And it's very stealthy. There's always a tense feeling whenever a fresh build comes to life for the first time, followed by a genuine sense of success. At this point you can see a 2nd HDD under the master, that is one of the means of transporting data into the new HDD. It's from my phenom build actually. You slave it, and it just carries on working as expected. If I sent it back to the older machine it'd resume being as it were.
Everything was running nicely, it dual boots Ubuntu, and Windows 7 UE. Still the 980 Ti GPU wasn't in stock, and that puny 750 Ti was making me twitch, so after calling several outlets, I went back to the shop and price matched the most advanced single GPU in the universe instead, setting the bar for this build to beyond $3,000,00 CDN.
I mean the GPU alone was 1/3 the cost of everything combined.
.
What I like most about this GPU alongside it's 8 billion transistors, is it has 3,072 shader units called CUDA cores.
Basically it makes software rendering on the Octain render engine do some magical things.
This means, the age where interactive photo realistic CG is coming in pretty damn fast, cause this one can already do it rather quickly by today's standards.
I was satisfied with just staring at the beast before hooking up the connectors, I was so glad to remove the 750 Ti sitting in for it. This is so much better than the 980 Ti I was waiting for too.
You can get a better look at the RAM slots, the 4 sticks of a combined 16 Gigs of DDR4 RAM are space out between the 8 slots. I can go 32 Gigs, or even 64 Gigs, but that's not very practical unless one wants to edit movies that would be hours long, still even for that, this will do.

Here's what happens now....Overclocking the 6 core i7 CPU Using AI Suite software, dual intelligent processors it's called, It will stress test the CPU for 30 seconds, and if it passes, it will crank it up. I tweaked the stress test to 2 minutes. So it will max out the CPU usage for 2 minutes, and for every pass it will up the wattage.
Intel promises 3.3 Ghz for the i7-5820k model, and that's what you get. But when overclocking, it's a matter of luck if you can get an outstanding CPU. There are minute differences and alignments that sets the quality of the processor. While stress testing, this one crashed at a monstrous 4.8 Ghz, which means I can do 4.7 Ghz, but I settled for 4.6 Ghz, which is lucky. It turned my AMD's 12 minute workloads into 3 minutes. When you do the math is saves soooo much time.
