This is how Gigabyte boards are built, possibly typical. Some of you know I'd rather have pins in my eyes than have a Gigabyte product.
In the video you may see a few dozen places where mistakes could be made and the inspection process is very quick at each stage except the last where it is power up. The narrator pronounces "solder" as "sawlder", do we say it wrong? HE also calls where the CPU goes a, "PCU socket".

In Great British English we pronounce solder. US English uses the lazy L and soder which would get you in trouble in Blighty. When I worked at Thomson as it was a multi national company no one batted an eye lid but when I visited some home to fix their TV's they had a hard time figuring out what I was going to do with their TV sets capacitors............

Well, not everyone here pronounces it that way, but you are right about that. Luckily, we are on a forum and we all spell it right, or most of us anyway. But, those are not the tings that get me. In the US, there is a difference in a Holiday and a vacation. Christmas is a holiday, taking off work for a week to take your family on a trip is a vacation. What's so hard about that? And while on the subject why, pray tell, is a chip a French Fried Potato and fries a crisp? After all they are officially called French Fried potatoes (even though I believe the fry was invented in Belgium). I mean, come on, folks, get it right. I know I left a lot of stuff out, but I figure that I said enough already to get me in trouble with my UK friends. But, this is a US site, we need to be able to communicate (even though the site is owned by a Brit) And don't give me any crap about the Queen's English. (or the Kings English, depending on who is sitting on the Throne at the time. I just got off what we in the US call the Throne).

Back in a min, I just need to get some beer and crisps from the BOOT of my car. You never know I might get a little peckish later as fish and chips never seems to fill me up too much.

I think their crisps are potato chips. Biscuits are cookies. Oh, now I need to go to the head...throne. Or library room, lol.
Torch=flashlight
Car trunk= Boot
Toilet=Loo
Colour=color
Truck= Lorry or Ute, or is a bus a lorry?

Biscuits.



We do get cookies as well, just that most of them are not very good. Millie's Apple & Cinnamon and White Chocolate & Raspberry are the mutt's nuts though.

In England there's no such thing as a vacation.

Christmas is a holiday, taking off work for a week to take your family on a trip is a vacation. What's so hard about that?

You can't argue with Cliff. It's a holiday.

Get your hairy arse (not ass, that's a quadruped) over here Steve and I'll teach you the ways of the English oh BSOD friend of mine. xx

US biscuit.

OR scone?

 

[paulpicks21]

UK Beer, Nuff said. End of subject!

 

[kbrady1979]

Absolutely no reason to put "U's" in places they don't belong

 

[Indianatone]

SO what about changing the s in realise (Et AL) to a ZED. And Calling a ZED a ZEE. What is all that about then? Bicuits are French for cooked twice and they are the McVities kind. Scones are what biscuits are called in most of the US. There are NO English Muffins in England but there are American Muffins sweet and fruity. Don't get them started about Scotch Pancakes, Crumpets and Pikelets....I am hungry.

 

[essenbe]

What, no Tea and Muffins?

 

[Indianatone]

What, no Tea and Muffins?

That is correct. Muffins are English Muffins. American Muffins are what we call muffins here in the former colonies.
Don't ask me how all these things got different names. I have no idea! I'll wager the the UK drinks more coffee now than tea.

 

[essenbe]

You're right, I forgot. It's Tea and Crumpets (whatever they are which is probably why I forgot)

What's the Difference? Crumpets Versus English Muffins | The Kitchn
That's funny Tony that the UK has no English muffins. Silly name anyway, it's not a muffin at all. Who cares what they are called as long as they taste good and we know what we mean when referring to things, eh?

People from Cornwall will fight to the death that they are the only one in the world who can make pasties. I can make them here.

This thread is making me real hungry.

AddRam, are they overclocked?

Gary. I don't believe the people from Cornwall meant the frozen kind.

:roflmao:

Well, this is supposed to be the "Official Overclocking leaderboard" Just nobody wants to overclock any more. I thought AddRam may have started a new competition. If so, I may want to join, especially if it is an eating competition. I did try a couple of Lobsters the other day, but they were almost impossible to overclock, so I ate them. I didn't take pictures though. I couldn't get CPUz to run on them.
