<p>Despite my efforts to keep up April&#8217;s post count, and possibly improve it, i was <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">being lazy</span> slammed down with many BS which includes but not limited to &#8211; My PC being dead. So hey, might as well turn this into a blog post eh? <img src='http://www.quazacolt.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' />  I&#8217;ll promise to make this one good, so long you stick through it <img src='http://www.quazacolt.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />  (oh and Solomon, ill definitely get those pictures processed &gt;_&lt;)</p>
<p><span id="more-1120"></span></p>
<p>Anyways, PC just went down recently, and got restored with a new Motherboard. Basically, i overclock, and i have a light overclocking profile that have my PC running 24/7 for torrents. Considering the recent weather change for the worse, (read: burning) my old Asus Commando motherboard finally gave in, but that&#8217;s not all, it dragged the PSU&#8217;s 8pin 12v plug along /facepalm.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Everything taken out" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/pcdeath1.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="437" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="The melted plug T_T" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/pcdeath2.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="514" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="The rather empty casing" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/pcdeath3.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="912" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="The fan and heatsink components after a wash/cleanup" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/pcdeath4.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="1034" /></p>
<p>Its not all that bad i guess, i took the opportunity to clean up the entire casing and all of its fans and heat sinks that&#8217;s stacked with pitch black pile of dust. The crappy part is that i have to pay for a new motherboard. (about MYR750)</p>
<p>Speaking of the motherboard, its a pretty awesome <a title="Asus Maximus II Formula official page" href="http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=hOVim24yGru3f3g6&amp;templete=2" target="_blank">Asus Maximus II Formula</a>, and boy is it EASY to overclock with this baby.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Asus Maximus II Formula" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo1.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="601" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Total beauty for sure, be it the daki or the board :P" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo2.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="476" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">There&#8217;s still about 20+ pictures of the process, and the board itself being hooked up with the IFX14 heat sink, and eventually inside the casing. Also showed some minor cable tidying work (yes i suck at keeping things tidy lol, but hey it ain&#8217;t that bad XD). Ill have all of those grouped up in a mini-Gallery just a little bit further down this post.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Anyways, i started rebuilding the PC like 10-11pm? It dragged on until 7-8AM i believe and i gave in to <a title="Moar Horo posts!" href="http://www.quazacolt.com/tag/horo/" target="_blank">Horo</a> and crashed out for the day. About 6ish AM i went off to grab a chilling Peel fresh apple drink loaded with ice and i thought, why not spend that time with mai waifu?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Mai Waifu, happy as usual" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo15.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="362" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Shouldve so taken pics of this mug during valentines :P" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo16.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="453" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">So after i finished my apple juice and some quality time with Horo, i continued on with the PC, and finally, it is done. Even mai waifu approves:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Horo approving :D" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo26.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="558" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">And the final touches &#8211; turning the damn thing on XD</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" title="Awesome Asus logo is awesome" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newmaximusmobo29.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="521" /></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p>In a super slowpoke closing (some 3 months slow), I&#8217;ve got some pictures taken when i bought a new 1TB HDD. Some of you may have already noticed the additional 1TB increment from my <a title="My About/Contact me page" href="http://www.quazacolt.com/aboutcontact-me/" target="_blank">PC specs page</a> though, totalling 2.5TB on this PC alone <img src='http://www.quazacolt.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Enjoy them, along with a slightly related video (again, also slowpoke, so you&#8217;ve probably seen it) regarding HDDs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center; "><img class="aligncenter" title="HDD rack being taken out, maximum of 4 HDD" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newhdd1.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="453" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center; "><img class="aligncenter" title="The SATA/power cables" src="http://www.quazacolt.com/dmmlq/pcdeath/newhdd3.jpg" alt="" width="680" height="747" /></p>

<p>Do take note that the above pics are 3 month old ago, and my PC was well alive at that time ^^;</p>
<p>Lastly, the video:</p>
