However, what that one dude posted about 're-applying thermal paste'?

...I wouldn't touch that with a 10 ft pole. Don't unseat thermal coupling stuff, even if you think it's hosed. If it's hosed, it's hosed. If it's not, you're going to gently caress it. Don't touch that.
Which kinda goes against my previous "Oh it's hard to mess poo poo up" post, but, really, you can literally bend the motherboard to cram RAM into or out of a slot or do whatever, all of that stuff is cool. Don't gently caress with thermal stuff on your proc. I guess that's the 'caveat' part of my previous post. I do know why that stuff is so weird, but it's dumb as poo poo nerd stuff.

How Often Should You Replace Thermal Paste?

In most cases, you shouldn’t need to reapply more than once every few years, though you should replace your paste if you remove your cooler for any reason. You may also want to consider reapplying thermal paste if you find your CPU temperatures are climbing.

op I hope you have learned your lesson about asking for help with homework on the internet.

I suppose I have, in a vicarious way that doesn't really apply to my life anymore.

Like, it super depends on your price bracket and what model you're looking at.
Honestly what you need to do is set a price point, and then start doing searches for 'X component' in that bracket and see what's up. There are MSI boards that are really good, and there are some that are crappy. But, they also have a $500 price spectrum and which are where on that spectrum don't match what you might think.

It's a bugger.

The same goes for all your components. Give yourself a budget, stick to it, and prioritize on what you want. Make sure all the parts click together and she'll be good to go.

i like question ii. youd have imagine a line perpendicular to AB that intersects C. say this point intersects AB at P. this would form 2 smaller triangles within ACB. because PC is perpendicular to AB both of the triangles would be right triangles and both would also have either angle ABC or angle BAC so both the smaller triangles would be similar to triangle ACB and have hypotenuses a and b and thus side length ratios to triangle ACB of a/5 and b/5. line PC the shortest distance from C to AB would have a length of (3*4)/5 cm
2.4cm

Anyway, I'm here doing my part in the 1000 page thread. Sometimes I wonder if its enough. Sometimes I wonder about the goal. I've seen 4k and bigger threads after all. Are the sights set too low?

Meme Poker Party posted:

You can always set a new, higher goal after the reaching the previous one. But setting a closer goal after not reaching a farther one is an admission of defeat.

Agreed that question ii was the best one. The 3-4-5 triangle was pretty straight forward, angle is easy with sohcahtoa. I had to stop and think about ii though, then I realized all the pieces were there.
