This thread is getting pretty hot.

I got it on fire but then it started raining

Blutack LOVES the heat, mmmm toasty

and of course it needed a cleanup after all that action (if the vids not working give it time to process)

Regardless, the best thread I read this week, Ty mussels.

 

[Mussels]

i plan to cover the GPU in isopropyl alcohol and just set it on fire.

Either i fix it, or it gets a viking funeral. This this is either a Phoenix or its Phucked.

How about DIY napalm? Gasoline + styrofoam gives you that. Should burn hotter and longer than IPA. I doubt IPA will burn long enough to melt any solder.

Damn it Mussels, you're giving the full firehazard build a whole new meaning here!

Exactly! Here a few of us are trying in earnest to help him fix a card that mostly works and he's taking the mickey and setting it on fire!! I think he wants to live up to the name of the thread...

BTW, Welcome to TPU!

This thread is a good example of the phrase "what is worth doing is worth overdoing".

With that in mind: thermite?

That might be too much... He wants to set it on fire, not completely obliterate it.

 

[Ruru]

This thread is simply awesome. I have to stay tuned.

 

[DeathtoGnomes]

Well, I wanna see the video of the PSU blowing up inside the case.

Taking an easygoing and considered approach does not seem to be quite par for the course here. Also, with you advocating the sensible approach and @Mussels going for KILL IT WITH FIRE, I thought I could represent a sort of counterpoint to you to make his approach seem more like a sensible middle ground

 

[Vayra86]

Fingers crossed

Has anybody suggested converting from SATA to IDE and then back to SATA?

Has to be plugged into the DVI port of the card when it's on fire.

Also, why on earth does this build have a matched dual channel memory kit? That doesn't fit at all. One should be replaced with a SODIMM in one of those weird adapter boards.

 

[Mussels]

Ummm its corsair LPX memory on ryzen, thats a bad enough idea on its own

Well, I wanna see the video of the PSU blowing up inside the case.

the original psu electrocuted me and cut power to the house, that part was not recorded unfortunately

The circuit breaker the psu is on didn’t trip?

nah it wanted me dead, but it was a shitty PSU so it didnt succeed

 

[biffzinker]

i'll use more fire tomorrow if the rain lets up.

I keeping reading that as “I’ll use more fire power tomorrow.”
