    I have no problem getting annoyed with myself but if I started to get annoyed with team mates, I'd stop playing. I'd rather not be a dick. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Finally got the little beast going. It's practically a new PC after all the shenanigans, with only the SSDs surviving. It's been 2 weeks of stress but I must admit I'm very happy with the outcome. The case is glass on one side, and even though I thought I wasn't a tart for lighting, I have to admit looking at the ram changing colour is fucking sweet. Windows 10 won't fully activate as it's a OEM Windows 7 Pro upgrade on a new MOBO but I'm going to moan at Microsoft about that tomorrow. New PSU is a 1000W Corsair (the EVGA is being returned and refunded by Amazon). CPU running at 4.3 for the moment, and I didn't overclock it, so looks like I have a good 'un. [emoji39] I played BF5 on ultra settings. 180 FPS (1080p) and no fan noise. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Hopefully I'll be back on tomorrow, possibly tonight but I have loads of things to reinstall as many of my single player games were on the HDD. Been delayed, as the new PSU had an issue and caused me much frustration. It blew my optical drive, just for starters. Had to return it. I won't go into it too much or Lee will have nightmares. I learned a lot the past couple of weeks... Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    If I hadn't just bought a cpu cooler I might have considered it. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    I played about 10 hours of it over the weekend. The last thing I tried was getting to the dark zone and at this point they really go to town with the immersion. It was epic, shame I ran out of time. Can't wait for release now! Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Welcome to FG. If you have GTAV on PS4, get it downloaded, we often have race night on Fridays with lots of forumers involved, and it's quite a blast[emoji106] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    I think my issues stem from a lightning strike on my house a couple of years ago. I always leave my PC unplugged but the Ethernet was still connected. My modem was fried and when I got a new one, I found that the ethernet port on my PC no longer worked. Instead of investing in a new mobo, I just added a new port. But still, now I've reconciled myself to the expense (I was planning on a new mobo and CPU by 2020 anyway) I'm quite excited to be upgrading. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Welcome aboard @MogwaiPower, you're in a good company here, as most of the forum regulars love a bit of a fiddle. Thanks also for proving me wrong

    PC is working again but the little darling still needs some more TLC I fear. In the end, I have this month added a new and better PSU; a new and better CPU cooler; and a fucking excellent case. If I do say so myself. But I also: Had to get rid of the 2TB HDD as it was no longer drawing in any power. Still have my 250 and 500 GB SSDs. Also, found that I have a RAM issue. I now have only 8GB, as I have 4 sticks of 4BG RAM but two of the ports aren't working, not the sticks, the ports. So I have 2 x 4BG of DDR3 if anyone wants it. With the BIOS being corrupted, my clock speed is down to 3.8 and I'm a bit hesitant about doing the overclock again. My plans this year to get an ACER Predator are now up the spout as.... I think that around mid April I may look to buy a new motherboard and DDR4 RAM. And while I'm doing that, I may as well upgrade the CPU as well. I've got a pretty special GPU and I suppose I may as well complement it with decent partners, which will be expensive but hopefully I won't spend another penny for another 6 years...🙄

    Servers go live in 30 minutes. I'm home today waiting for a PC case to arrive, so what's a boy going to do...

    An overheating laptop will do your head in more than the sound of a laptop fan. If you're planning to play games I'd advise getting external fans to keep it cool. Saying all this despite suspecting I'm just replying to a market researcher[emoji849] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Well, we'll need somewhere to put the Champions League trophy, so I hope so.
