It is still counter productive and shows a lack of respect by using foul language and name calling. If someone helps you attain knowledge, I think is it only right you help someone else attain the knowledge you have if you are asked or have answer to the question asked. One should be proud others are asking for their input and should not be irritated because a Newbie asked. Remember at one time you were the newbie asking the questions.

I agree to a certain extent with your point of view, but let me add this:

It is also a sign of respect when a newbie comes in and shows that he/she has already taken at least a small bit of effort to search for the answer to his/her questions him/herself.
This is a forum, not a McDrive where you shout your order through a speaker and you get it at the next booth.

On the other hand of course, it's still very nice to see someone new getting involved, but I would like to emphasize the word involved and not ask and get delivered.

I agree if you do not want to answer that is fine. However to give an answer that derides someone is wrong. If you think it is someone like you mentioned just do not reply to the question. The object is supposed to be people helping people or am I wrong?'
There is no such thing as a stupid question, that being said there are questions that should not be asked.

You are not wrong, but not answering those people does not teach them anything. Saying they need to search before asking obvious questions does.

Of course, there is no need to yell at them, but I understand the frustration sometimes gets the best of people.

The issue is people assume we LIKE talking about this sort of stuff with people who won't even look at the chipset flowchart before asking us to give them the end OC. The new people we're barking at wouldn't know what to do with that information other than plug it in. Granted there would be some incompatability with those settings we would be the ones left troubleshooting. BOOOOO!!! :mad:
Click to expand...

I'm guilty of this with Binge :eek: . Why? Because Binge had the same board I had, basically I had the same exact setup as Binge. HyperX memory, D0 stepping, and a T3EH8. I figured, "Hell, I happen to have the same setup Binge has, maybe he has some awesome settings I can try ". So yeah, even " experienced " OC'ers can be guilty of asking newb-like questions, it saves time and helps me get things going whem I'm all excited and anxious to get the new beastly rig OC'ed. Both sides of the spectrum can be guilty of asking the " lazy " questions. But.... in the end, I still ended up doing tons of research and tons of testing to get my setup to where it is now. :toast::toast::toast::toast::toast::toast:

Back to the topic! My 1156 goodies came in and my i7 rig is at 3.1GHz on the stock heatsink.. booooooo!!!! Noctua cooler is going on the i5 rig for benching.. bwahaahahahahah

Picture time....

Took a quick pick of the P7P55D Deluxe, nevermind how everything isn't in focus (and color sucks) , I used the wrong f/stop and I didn't feel like playing with apeture and f/stop settings this early, plus... I gotta get going to work.

Anyway, heres my new toy.

Not that much ram. Most of our servers are 2U and have only eight slots. Even the blades are that way.

I think the highest amount we have in any server is 48GB, and that's our ESX servers. That server above has to have at least 64GB since there's 64 slots. If the are 4GB sticks that's 256GB. Where's the damn drool icon???!?!??!

I remember you asking pretty educated questions, and you don't treat me like a help desk. Easy info is fine to get if you do a little digging. Knowing what overclocking actually is/how it is executed is a start you have over most noobs I complain about. The fact that we had identical setups was also easy because I knew how to troubleshoot the motherboard and tell if the memory was good. Come on man... don't defend the folks who think we owe it to them. Especially to those who want to learn how to spell/write without thinking they need to learn the alphabet.
