  1. Is a free trial available? Looking to purchase a hunting script but with all due respect, I've wasted so much time on god awful scripts and I don't want to waste money on one. I'd also like to know if the bot will pick up traps before breaking, I know the feature list claims it will, however I saw a post previously that said otherwise. Thanks.
  2. I too am willing to bet it's a manufacturing defect, any traces on the board will typically be left under layers to try prevent damage to the traces themselves. Either you accidentally caught a motherboard stand-off and it stripped a layer, or the board was simply damaged from the factory.
  3. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cDyMQ7 While I understand it is above your budget, it's the best bang for your buck list of components you'll get without sacrificing performance or reliability in any area. As previously mentioned, a CPU cooler is not necessary however I will add they greatly reduce noise in your system. If you're trying to cut down on noise, a cheap but effective (and quiet) cooler such as the Hyper 212 Evo is fantastic.
  4. Namely computer hardware, I pretty much join botting forums and provide hardware recommendations/builds, been doing it for years. I prefer forums with a somewhat dedicated subsection, otherwise I have to actively seek the users that want help, which to be quite honest isn't something I like to do.
  5. Any particular reason as to why the section was removed? It's the only reason I'm actually here after all.
  6. The liquid itself isn't usually what makes thermal paste good for thermal conductivity, it's usually the particles within it (silver, diamond and various other materials). Once the paste initially works into gaps on the CPU and the heatsink, the liquid has pretty much served its purpose.
  7. Overheating is irrelevant, the paste will still typically work despite having had dried out. Also, that's called thermal throttling.
  8. Given that each paste will dry at significantly varying rates, it's still not something you should leave alone. My brother not too long ago (in the process of upgrading) had his CPU stuck to the heatsink and had to be forcefully removed, it's still a concern.
  9. I recommend changing every 5 years or so, heatsink paste can and will dry over very long expanses of time. It's best to avoid the issue before it sticks your CPU and heatsink together, believe me that's not something you want to experience.
  10. The point is you don't know what you're recommending. Your current keyboard from Q2 2014 is most likely Cherry MX which means it's not a shoddy switch, new Razer keyboards are incorporating their new terrible switches and should be avoided. Their keyboards are no longer "good", quality control and manufacturing tolerances can't be overlooked. To confirm your switches, you can take the keycap off (assuming it's mechanical), and then you can look at either the colour of the switch or the branding on it.
  11. True that, people are just using this thread as a postcount farm. Repeatedly posting bullshit, I daresay the majority of people who replied won't know an ounce of what they're talking about.
  12. Personally I would recommend a Ducky keyboard, the backlight isn't limited to the key, however the switches are genuine Cherry MX and are built like a damn fortress. I use a Ducky Zero (budget oriented) keyboard with blue switches and custom black dampeners to reduce the sound of 'bottoming out'. My model has brightness adjustment and a breathing effect, however the more expensive models such as the Ducky Shine series have a vast number of effects available. Considering that's a modern Razer keyboard, I would highly avoid it. As you can see on the packaging, it has their own switches (not Cherry MX) and has been proven to have poor manufacturing tolerances and quality control. Due to this, it makes the switches have different actuation weights (in grams), which is not an issue that should happen in a high end keyboard.
  13. Monitor your temperatures, could well be an overheating CPU or GPU and that causes the clock speed to drop drastically (throttling) in order to reduce temperatures. Or it could well be the issue that your CPU is kinda old tbh, the single core performance won't be all that great, which is important for gaming because they are very commonly limited in terms of mulithreading compatibility.
  14. Given we have absolutely zero knowledge on the state of the hardware and ventilation, any conclusion is a guess at best. And putting thermal paste on a motherboard is still a good idea, I don't quite see where you're coming from. Overclocking doesn't usually heat up the bridges unless you're messing with the RAM, which I'm confident he's not doing.
  15. Given that people do remove heatsinks and replace the paste on the north and south bridges, that's not true. In this case the heat source is likely the north bridge or the VRMs.
