Gosh darnit Cripspeeeee! You're right! You dun shown me a ting! I didn't bring any leads home with me but I'll pick it up tomoz and connect this bad boy. Here's where we're at: The AIO (that's All In One for the @Plumbers Crack's amongst us) after a good clean: This is the fan. I've named him Fanny: For the record, the Alienware for some reason was sucking air in to the case rather than blowing it out, so I've swapped from a pull configuration to a push configuration which should gain me a degree or two. Copper block. GO FORTH AND COOL ALL THE THINGS: Of course in able to do this you need some thermal paste, I went to C*rrys and they had no clue what the fuck I was on about (omg currys seriously #incompetent) but at the right time a knight in silver armour and many braces came along and saved the day. I paid 40% over the odds for this: (in this case 40% extra means £7 instead of £5 but the percentage makes Currys look worse and I fully support this notion). Here it is unwrapped. This is more asspensiff than crack: I never took any photos of the application because I didn't want to fuck it up, but here's the whole shenanigan installed: Quite why the PSU is the last component (other than drives, but they're easier to work with than Paris Hilton's coin purse) I'm installing is beyond me, but at least some progress was made. I'll now be removing the Corsair PSU and installing the Dell jobbie. I'd be a lot more motivated to do this if I had a bloody lead but I'm aiming towards plug & play on the last lead tomorrow, so let's see how it goes.

I will hold you to that. [emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

I managed to get a few laps in with the Honda tonight, only 5 or 6 but these cars take some getting used to! They feel so much faster than Gr3 cars and certainly you can carry a lot more speed in the corners. I got the Honda in to the 53's but think I can squeeze that in to the 52's with a few more laps. I want to try the Nissan too as I have that car already.

Quick update, up at 4 tomoz. It's alive. Barely, but it's alive. I got it all together but the PSU cables are too short so it is seriously ghetto at the moment with shit and bits hanging everywhere. I hope these are standard cables as a new PSU is north of 200 bones. I think the motherboard's fucked. It didn't output any picture so it got stripped down to barebones. One GPU? Nothing. Fuck. Remove all RAMS, install one, she boots. Error messages all over the shop but she booted. Insert second RAMS, nothing. Then I started shuffling and fucking around a lot more and it looks like ram slot 2 is borked. With a stick in 1 & 3 she fires right up but as soon as I put one in slot 2 she fails. So atm I've got more tests to run for diagnostics, she's on 16gb at the mo which will be plenty until I can afford a new X99 motherboard. It whinges like a little bitch though, because the motherboard was transplanted from the Alienware case it's lost a shitload of limbs and fans and likes to let me know every boot. Tomorrow I'll pop the second 980 in and see if I can maintain POST. I think it'll be fine but we'll see. Then I have a todo list as long as my arm to get it exactly where I want it but that's all part of the hobby I guess. I said no pics but fuck it, here's a sneaky little preview of what's going on:

Tried a few laps in the Honda and then the Nissan, Nissan was a better drive. 1:57.964 i is the nest from about 8 laps so far. Can definitely get more time off that once I learn the track better. Awesome track IMO. It's a very enjoyable game for me at the moment, and the move to manual gears (loving that 1st gear around tight corners) and bonnet cam is starting to pay off.

I count 9 exhausts, but maybe I'm missing something 😄

Just finished watching Harry’s Heroes: The Full English a two parter that was on ITV this week...quite a good watch. England Legends team taking on the German Legends

Personally I would say just hammer out your main missions so you can get all your unlocks in settlements, if you can't get leveled to beat mains knock out a couple of sides and control points (also used as fast travel locations) spec your shit as you go for survivability as you will likely get munched if you go looking for specific sets before you are lvl 30 plus it's counter intuitive to set for a build as you spend more time looking for loot that you will break down or sell anyway. Keep all purple in your staff even low level one so you can use the skills from them on the recab stations. Via the FG App

So I read the BBC report which said it connected directly to the servers via WIFI. Er, nice one BBC, but I'm not sure that is gonna fly. Honestly the best way to implement this would be a 5G connection to the data centre.

CoD on a phone...I’d never be able to see my gunsight let alone who I’m shooting at! 😂😂

This price is more tempting. I dont like the characters style but hopefully that is insignificant to the world and those enemies that looked cool. Interested to hear how you guys get on with it all.

Meh I love having physical copies of everything, I like having a bit of a collection. Will be interesting to see how this goes and to see how many pick it up. It might be a bit of a flop.

So now comes the showing off bit 😛 these have been taken over a number of years but they are some of my best and favorite photos; DSC_0350 by Chris Roe, on Flickr DSC_0289 by Chris Roe, on Flickr DSC_0016 by Chris Roe, on Flickr DSC_0050 by Chris Roe, on Flickr DSC_0409 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0034 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0244 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0201 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0252 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0327 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0351 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0972 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0394 by greboth_666, on Flickr DSC_0417 by greboth_666, on Flickr
