3) What mic is that you're using?
-It's an older model Samson Lavalier with receiver. They don't sell this model anymore, but you can get one (better) like it here: http://amzn.to/2ka8f01
4) What thermal paste did you use?
- Arctic Silver 5: http://amzn.to/2Bu6u1Y
5) How long did it take to do this?
-It likely would have only taken a couple hours tops, but because I wanted to present it in a 'fun' and different way than most do when they're on their own like me - It took about 8 hours, broadcast time.
6) You're doing [insert anything you want] wrong! Why didn't you [insert what you think I should do here] instead?
- Because I'm very new at custom PC building, and this is all kinda self-taught. Regardless of what you think I should do though, this works/worked well.
7) I was at the live stream... where did [some part you remember] go?
-I cut some of it, to eat away at a lot of the lag time and breaks. I can't cut as much as I normally would, because these cut-up parts are exported from Twitch, but when I can cut things out, I did.
8) How's the computer running now?
-It's running great, but not as I had hoped. It appears I once again lost the Silicon Lottery, as my chip has a very hard time overclocking without overheating. Intel puts terrible thermal compound between their PCB and IHS (the big silver part responsible for getting the heat off the chip). As a result, I probably need to "Delid" my chip in order to get the performance I expected, and paid a premium for.
9)... Delid?
- It's where you separate the IHS (big silver part) from the PCB (the green part that does all the work), and clean off the terrible TIM (the cheap thermal compound that Intel puts there) that's in there, and replace it with good stuff. I'll likely have another live stream of that part when it comes time to do it.
10) Isn't that dangerous?
-It used to be super dangerous. Today it's very easy. I'll say nothing more about it other than "you'll see" later
11) Are people really going to ask these things? Are you just making up things in the FAQ now?
Yes... and if you're still reading - I hope you got a smile out of it.
