So you did use superglue :toast:

n-ster · Aug 21, 2010

I cut myself everytime because I am soo anxious to do the thing and want to get to Overclocking ASAP xD

GENTLEMEN · Aug 21, 2010

normally happens when I fiddle with the mobo, but it happened kinda bad while I was trying to swap a fan WITH THE SYSTEM STILL RUNNING. 92mm fans of a CM n520 = lotsa bandaids

Bundy · Aug 21, 2010

Cheap cases and me go back a long way. No pics but several misadventures.

Mussels · Aug 21, 2010

if blood is not given as sacrifice, it will not be stable on your first OC attempt

HammerON · Aug 21, 2010

Well said Mussels :toast:

btarunr · Aug 21, 2010

Thank God it's blood and not some other body fluid.

guitarfreaknation · Aug 21, 2010

No wonder I cannot get a great OC, Im missing a blood sacrifice to seal the deal with a good clock.

Comment above: LOL

HossHuge · Aug 21, 2010

A couple of times on spinning fans and a bad one with a back panel plate. Sucker ripped through me like paper.
