Summer and broken stuff

So, I’m slightly pissed off at the moment (more like WTFRAGE). Why is that?

1) Above average temperatures in Toronto. We need a thunderstorm to cool things down. Fast.

2) My desktop PC is out of commission for about two weeks or so while the GPU gets replaced. What does this mean? No more owning noobs in TF2 until the end of July, no more shooting zombies in the face in L4D2. :(

What happened to the GPU?

Basically the cooling system aka the fan died. I realized this when L4D2 started getting horrible framerates. I open up GPU-Z and the sensor is reporting 104 degrees celsius. Ouch! I open up the case to check and the fan was not running at all.

Apparently the warranty for that PC expires in 3 days. Kind of cutting it close there.

TL;DR version of story

Its friggin’ hot. And my PC is dead.
