Post your first FAIL

What car is that in your sig? I never seen many opels in the US but while I was deployed to iraq I got to drive one on our base.

 

i love it when i get asked that

Its a ford Capri, technically the pic in my sig is of a die cast model of a ford Capri but still looks pretty damn nice

 

LOL I owned a 1991 ford (mercury) capri (aussy built car)

 

Was that an actual variant of the Capri or a comletally different car that they just stuck Capri on the end of. It shares no styling with the Capri lol

 

Here is the details on it.

 

i remember doing something similar with the inverter from a plasma light mmmm burnt flesh

 

hahaha Orange

 

OMFG I have seriously had that happen. been a LONG time but it does tickle.

 

Tried to check my 12v voltage, system running, with a multimeter and it sparked! Everything still works but PSU shut off.

 

thermal paste in the socket and pins.......what a mess! thank god for non conductive, may even be some still in there hahah!

 

when i was building my first pc the power supply i was using only had 1 4-pin cpu power connector and my motherboard had 8-pin (4+4) so i went and bought a 4 to 8 pin adapter and the pc wouldnt boot. long story short i had to take it to frys after a week of testing the crap out of everything to find out the adapter was the cause. at the time i didnt know you can put a 4 pin into a 8 pin lol

stupid story but you asked for my FIRST fail

 

2200rpm fan just sliced into my finger

 

lol, yes i know that feeling, did the fan blade snap off? only happened to me with the Amd HSF... bit of a pain, because the HSF is broken. Well, the good thing is that i don't use the included HSF with AMD cpus.

 

Accidently dropping a CPU into a socket bending several pins...

Wh...How?

 

the thermal paste was xigmatek stuff and really wet. basically just dripped into the socket lol!

@redeye the fan blades are fine.... luckily as its from the aegir and a fan costs £14
