    We need a TEST version of this beautiful piece of art!

    This is the revised version which gives more prominence to the TEST logo - as it's nine hours after posting the original this one took more than an hour.

    A disturbing coincidence

    One last check would be a query with Customer Services to ask if their work on the account didn't create a false-positive :) But yes, I know what you mean. I always used to get security warnings that someone in Germany was trying to access my email account. Transpired thats where the servers my...

    He's Number 1! No, litterally - if you do @SeungRyul and quote the message the code says he is User=1. @Montoya is User=2.

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    Many thanks for all advice, I might have to start a saving pot and when the machine finally craps out use whatever is in it to get whatever is the best available for the price I finally have... So as far as AMD goes i'd be looking at FX line which weren't great performers... Many thanks for the...

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    I tried on PC Part Picker but realised I had no way of knowing if what it was showing me was actually true or not... As example, I added my DDR3 RAM on there as the first thing, then went to CPU's and it said the Ryzen 1600 was compatible - Great - So added that and then went to Motherboards...

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    Many thanks, please don't prioritize this over anything else so if you find your house needs some extra work please don't hesitate to do that over this :)

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    Thank you for your kind help :slight_smile: Form factor of current case is ATX, no idea what a PSU form factor is but it has all of these wires coming out of it and is rated to 450w. Willing to change both of these if needs must. I've already looked into SSD's, have the DDR3 ram already, and...

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    As this is theorycraft the max spend is theoretical - as being older gen I can get ebay/clearance prices if I am clever. The current build is: AMD Phenom2 2.8Ghz (hex core - yes, a 2.8 runs SC in patch 3.2, later patches it may not though) 16gb DDR3 RAM installed (Motherboard limit) with...

    Theorycrafting a DDR3 build.

    Hi chums. TL;DR: Which were the last generation of AMD and Intel processors that worked with DDR3 RAM? Full post: I'm not exactly cash rich (I have more priorities than funds) and with the recent issues with my game PC I thought I'd better start looking into options for a new gaming machine...

    I think my machine just broke...

    All good tips there, it very well may have been heat as the GPU has never been as loud and we are in the middle of a heat wave so it's starting temp is already around double that of its usual. Might just take the side off the case and blow a desk fan in to it.

    I think my machine just broke...

    I might try to make an ISO of the drive so I can keep the machines OS going but otherwise there is nothing on there but Scrap Mechanic and Star Citizen, nether of which games are finished. No other data on the Gaming machine, I have four other computers for other tasks :slight_smile:

    I think my machine just broke...

    Okay, so a quick search online and I disabled S.M.A.R.T. monitoring on the OS SSD in Bios and it booted to desktop again. I think that drive is about to die but the system is back hoorah! According to the internet one other option is to unplug its cables, plug them back in and turn S.M.A.R.T...

    I think my machine just broke...

    Okay, the plot thickens - before pulling all the bits out of the machine, i popped an Ubuntu boot-USB into the machine as I usually have everything on dual-boot (apart from this machine, ironically). Again it went to Disk Read Error, so i CTRL+ALT+DEL to restart and then hit DEL for BIOS - as...

    It's a little known fact, but that toilet only had two days left until retirement.
