    Good for you for not frying your motherboard. My card upgrade cost me an additional $800.

    I saw your post. I was super fucking careful because of it. Like I said, knowledge and experience I get here is awesome.

    Yeah, 99 times out of 100 it has zero impact. That one time it fucks everything up. Luckily nothing else went with it. But new motherboard means an updated CPU slot standard, which means a new CPU, which requires upgraded cooling and then also means updated memory. Can you tell I'm still bitter?

    Maybe satisfaction with your upgraded machine will eventually replace that bitterness.
