I'll be the party pooper. This is in bad taste. There are children who visit this site. I started visiting a TPU as a minor and visited mostly while at school. I understand it's just for a day but this has no business on a site that is frequented by minors.

If I didn't have a headache, it would be humorous, but I would still offer my dissent.

While your neighbours might not hear it running, everybody in the same apartment will, so there is still some room for improvement here
Check the part number - you might have the 290X model

I wouldn't worry too much - it's a review. Most of the children wont waste precious time reading it - they'll be too busy posting how the drivers don't deliver full performance, the GTX version is wayyyyyy overpriced, or that average f.p.s.* isn't a true benchmark indicator

* f.p.s. = fulfilment per session

This is a real review, by a real (human) girl btw. I just handled the photo and technical testing part. We bought two of them so I wouldn't have to cut up hers :)

Rechargables are bad because they are only 1.3 V vs. 1.5 V on the non-rechargables, so less intensity. Which could be a way to fine tune though if it's too strong for you.

in my small toy i managed to put in an extra battery and it runs much hotter and noisier but much quicker, but i get so worried that the motor would explode due to heat and OC

Wow, first time Ive ever noticed a mecha-dick on TPU, and I feel like I should be amused, but it for what ever reason has made ME feel like a touch of honor and respect has been lost......un impressed TPU..

Also does this have any connection to the mainpage titles being changed to "Toypowerup"?

after coffee I realize it's april...What a terrible, and long month MArch has been
