Yooo
Not dead yet.
Just really busy.
I've spent probably 30 hours in a car over the past 7 days.
Also, my brother called me earlier this week saying, "Hey, how hot is my PC supposed to be?" I answered, "Well if it's around 100 degrees, you should probably turn it off and let me take a look at it." Now my brother is a user, not a builder. He hardly knows diddly squat about building PC's. He just really appreciates the one I built him (even if it's just a spare parts rig).
Him: Oh. Well it's about 98 degrees right now and it was at about 105 degrees earlier.
Me: Yeah, if it's about 100 degrees Celsius, then it's overheating. Turn it off and let me take a look at it. I mean, 80 is pretty high, but not worrisome, but definitely don't use it if it's 100 degrees.
Him: Ok.
Fast forward to tonight, and I'm taking a look at it. I notice in BIOS that yeah - it's running about 85 degrees on a cold start. So I log into Windows and everything is telling me it's much cooler than that. So I write it off as an error in BIOS since the heatsink is ice cold and the fans are silent.
Then I get back into BIOS to make sure his buddy who gave him an SSD did the transfer right. I'm positive he did since he works with computers for a living. He's a white hat hacker. Incredibly intelligent so I didn't doubt his work. Just double checking that everything works as intended. Well I look up and it says 98 Fahrenheit/37 Celsius.
He was reading me temps in Fahrenheit.
I read the Fahrenheit temp.
Why does this UEFI even have the temp in Fahrenheit?
Who tf is building and monitoring a PC and using FAHRENHEIT?
So yeah, I feel like an idiot.
