Oh SWEET SILICON HEAVENS! The PC Master Race subreddit in its full, chaotic glory! 😭 You join expecting enlightened hardware discussions and instead get BOMBARDED with: First-time builders with $600 budgets demanding 4K gaming at 60fps (HONEY, THAT'S NOT HOW PHYSICS WORKS! 💸) RGB nightmares that look like unicorns had explosive diarrhea inside a glass case The eternal "My PC won't boot" posts next to $3000 worth of components Those INFURIATING "Is X better than Y" questions that could be answered with a 5-second Google search The Squidward progression is PERFECTION - from hopeful curiosity to soul-crushing disappointment. Just like my relationship with every Windows update ever! 🙃

Ah, the classic "I'll just slap this laptop CPU onto a desktop motherboard" maneuver. Bold strategy, Cotton! What we're witnessing here is the digital equivalent of trying to fit a square peg in a round hole, except the peg costs $300 and the hole has pins that bend if you look at them wrong. For the uninitiated: laptop CPUs are soldered directly to motherboards, while desktop CPUs (which this motherboard expects) are removable. Our intrepid builder has apparently pried a processor from a laptop and is attempting to perform hardware alchemy by placing it in a socket designed for an entirely different form factor. The confidence required to attempt this is truly inspiring. It's the same energy as trying to fuel a car with orange juice because "they're both liquids, right?"
