    Nice one, I've managed 1:49s but I think lower than that may be beyond me, we'll see...

    Create a calendar event for it, then people can indicate if they're going to make it, or not.

    Hopefully I'll be back in PC land by then, so I'm sure I'll be up for it.

    I have ham and eggs most mornings, after I've been working a while, usually between 10.30am and 11am. I cycle to work so I've no problem with that. Impossible for me to eat before that time for some reason. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    My CPU is from the summer of 2013, Haswell it be. I was on a laptop before that. Overclocked to 4.4 too but I'm a demon for worrying about temperatures. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Faulty because it was getting really powered up the first few seconds and shooting it's load, completely spent, before trying again and failing repeatedly. Hope that helps[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    The guy came who came round was pretty competent and knew what he was doing. I was standing over him, quizzing him on his every move, so he needed to be[emoji41] I've heard of horror stories like you described. In fact, the first place I phoned and described my issue made me laugh out loud with their suggestions and I pity anyone who uses them. Fortunately I know a few things, i just lack patience...

    I decided on the Corsair H100i. Also, as my case is a fucker to manoeuvre around in and the new water cooler will be bigger, I'm you going to get a new case. Can't believe how long it took me to replace the power supply the other night... So that's a new PSU and cooler and case this month. After getting the new GPU before Christmas. The PSU wasn't fucked after all but I've got a better one now with 10 years warranty. I'm tempted to upgrade the CPU but I think I need to buy some food this month too[emoji28] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Corrupted bios and it appears I have a faulty pump (the cpu is watercooled). New part needs to be ordered and then will see if that's the only issue.. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Yep, but it's just one of many possible things to check and I haven't the knowledge/context around any if it to be confident i know what I'm doing. I have a guy coming round later to check all the components, one by one. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Not great news on the PC front. Checked each RAM sticks to see if there was a problem there. Nope. Installed a new PSU (which was a bastard of a job due to some tight cabling). Switched on. Same issue still. So, options are becoming limited. I’ve read online about CMOS, MoBo battery reset etc but I’m no expert and it looks like I’m going to need a new Mobo, or CPU. I can really do without the expense but I suppose the MoBo is an old Z87X UHD3 and was probably due to be updated...just not now damit, if that's what it is.. I may call in a specialist for advice, but for the moment I’m a console peasant. Annoying.

    Open Beta next Friday. I enjoyed the private Beta and i enjoyed the first game. I don't know if many FGers will be giving it a go but I'll be all over it.

    I got a call from Dutch South African tech services, great advice and shit jokes, all part of the service. Amazingly, i wasn't asked for my PIN[emoji1787] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Sadly yes, it's true, PC won't start, not even enough to access bios. Well, it starts, thinks for a second, stops, starts again, rinse and repeat. Hopefully it's just a dying PSU, and I've got an EVGA Supernova G3 80 Gold arriving tomorrow. 750 watts. Really hope it's the PSU and nothing else but the CPU is just as old and so is the RAM...

    He released an impressions video on YouTube today. He loves the game. I'll wait and see if it ends up on Steam next year. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    It's probably enabled. I only did a few laps so 1:50 and lower should be achievable, with BOP off on my first lap I think I did a 1:48 Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Back to Anthem. The loading screens on their own are enough to put me off Anthem. That they appear without notice while traversing a map is pretty ludicrous. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    I had a quick revisit to Driveclub last night. After months of Gran Turismo it feels so arcadey all I will end up doing is GTA style race moves and shenanigans. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
