4Tb 870 EVO is like $275 and the WD Black was was only $80
that's the real reason

You should've gone with a pcie ssd riser card, and used the x16 slot with x4 bandwidth to get pcie2.0x4 which is still 1.5gb/s and supports all the usually ssd stuff.

Having experienced traffic in New Jersey firsthand, I can believe it.

Like, the cables are not white, they're purple. More violet than purple, a very gawdy lifelessly toxic kind of white.

Tp4 is looking for a near beige, regal kind of white. The white of the snow that covers a recently storm broken tree trunk.

The total deep clean and rebuild took 14hrs. Exponentially less time than it would've taken to build it new, but MUCH less money.

I'm a little upset I cannot get my 4x32Gb to work on the Sabertooth Z77, everything I read said 32Gb was totally possible with the latest BIOS update. LIES! I can only get 16Gb to post without the MEMOK going red  :mad:

Temps are on average 40-50°F cooler across all cores (how is that in C 4.4-10°? is that correct? seems like a weird gap, crazy Europeans)

This is a huge problem even culturally.  The uneducated masses will prefer the trashy whites, because they have little reference other than that it's an unlikely color, therefore desirable.

Real purples can be dramatic and beautiful, but those puce/puke off-white non-lavenders really are dreadful.
