    GPU Fan Cable Heat Protection

    Hello, I've just replaced both fans on a GPU as one had failed. The only place I found to order the exact fans was a site that sent them from Hong Kong. The fans have arrived, they fit perfectly and I was even able to transfer the manufacturer badges on to the new fans. However, unlike the...

    Back in the Day StompMonster

    I was massively in to SETI in the very early noughties. My student housemates were infuriated by the Celeron 600@900 that was constantly crunching in my room and the less well specced AMD Semperon? machine in the communal living room that was also devoted to the cause.

    Spec me a watercooling system for 3x Vega 56 ;)

    If the proper setup is going to cost as much as £750 I might as well just get an all-in-one system which is about £150 per GPU. For the record I'm not loaded but it will take a little while to hit the point of return on investment. It may well be that watercooling is not worth it but I'm...

    Spec me a watercooling system for 3x Vega 56 ;)

    Hello sorry to post one of these threads. I have read the stickies but my build is somewhat unusual in that I want to watercool 3 Vega 56 GPUS becuase they make an absolute racket! I've got an LGA 1150 Celeron processor as well. This could be watercooled but I'm less bothered about that. It is a...

    1070 memory overclock for mining

    just join a pool, run it 24/7 as you've indicated you are happy to do. Obviously you won't gain anything if you don't run it as much as possible! Does look like you are going for quite a big overclock on the memory though. However, I would have thought if the temps are good and everything seems...

    Delivery of parts signed for but never arrived!

    Most couriers are a mixed bag. It largely depends on your driver. Again, depots are a mixed bag, depends on the manager, situation and ethos. DPD are a stinking bunch of turds round my way. Their depots are like black holes that swallow up parcels. However, my local DPD driver is great. Really...

    Elephant.co.uk Insurance

    I have used them for quite a few years and found them generally ok but you have to fight to get the best price out of them at renewal time.

    Honda Axis Track car - Pearoast?

    It looks like Leepoo from "Chopshop" or "Bangla Bangers" on Discovery Turbo has got hold of it and molested it hard with his angle grinder.

    WTF is it with insurance companies?

    If you cause any damage to a hire car, you have to pay for it! They do write carefully worded contracts so that they can charge you for just about any damage you may inflict. I'm also pretty sure they do their best to sell off ageing/dieing cars in their fleet before they suffer from the abuse...

    Cheap Eagle F1s

    switching to the toyos is hardly the end of the world. Still a great tyre in my limited experience of the T1R's we've just put on the new mx5. The price you paid before sounds bargainous! The T1R is a complete bargain in my opinion. Buy it, enjoy the performance, enjoy the value! You can get the...

    No AC on '05 MK2 Focus

    don't take it to Halford or kwickfit. All they will do is re gas it. Take it to a local aircon specialist for service. Then he can actually have a look, tell you what needs doing and get it fixed properly rather than you throwing your money down the drain feeding the car to a bunch of ideots.

    New series of Fifth gear starts tonight

    I didn't see it but who needs 5th gear to tell us that a small(ish) french car is likely to be funky? Pappa and Nicole told us that in the early 90's didn't they? Besides Citroens have always been "wierd". Eveyone knows that. 5th Gear ****es me off because it's one step up from proper...

    Who do they think they are fooling?

    oh dear oh dear. i just couldn't contemplate ever buying something like that. It's not exactly cheap anyway. I'd just buy an older, real lambo. But then again there are fantacists out there and ideots who probably would buy it and insist to their friends and colleagues that it IS real. Sad.

    WTF is it with insurance companies?

    I have to say.....I don't like the stupid credit hire inflated prices and the compensation culture we have in this country but without our hire car me and the parnter could not have done our work properly. Any car would have done but I would not have wanted to fork out for the hire of a car...
