    Mercedes Benz and AMG Owners

    Interested to hear how the two compare. You may recall I (sort of) went the other way: M5 non-comp to a facelift C63s coupe. I really liked the M5, but even the preFL was muted, especially after a C7 RS6. I love the look of the facelift M5 comp and even considered it recently, however I figured...

    "Just stop oil"

    ^This isn’t the ‘Just Stop Oil’ brigade, this is a different bunch of loops using similar tactics -?

    do you guys deliberately not take your car to some places?

    I bought a sacrificial estate purely for this reason. It’s also more practical than my other car, so I can ferry both kids and all their junk without worry. It's got all season tyres so I can run it through winter too. I can park it anywhere without too much concern and it gives me total peace...

    AMD brings back consumer HEDT, launches TRX50 platform, Threadripper 7xxx

    I think I’ll be doing the same unless there is something newer coming very soon. As cool as these new Threadrippers are, not much point if they are ££££ and have no benefits for gaming.

    Analogue 3D

    Indeed, there’s multiple options here from just the plug and play to the upscaling and tinkering. I haven’t got time for the tinkering these days, plus I do like shiny new things :D

    Analogue 3D

    I'm in too. I've been toying with getting my N64 an HDMI upgrade, perhaps now I won't bother. Still waiting for my Duo to arrive, it's been a long wait.

    Perhaps this is what I've been waiting for, my i9 7900X is running out of puff...

    What Retro Games Are You Currently Playing?

    Received my PS5 copy of Night Trap yesterday. Never had a Mega CD back in the day, but I remember all the controversy.

    Owning a French car, why why why?

    55 is way young to be a grandad! On the plus side you'll be awesome at footy in the park :D

    Owning a French car, why why why?

    With comments like that, this is perhaps not the best thread for you Pal. Good that you like it and all, I mean, it'd be a terrible shame if you hated it.

    Officially old

    Dude, this is the 'Officially old' thread. I think you were looking for the 'Morally Deplorable' thread and took a wrong turn somewhere...

    OcUK Dadsnet thread

    Absolutely not, but you could infer that perhaps you didn't have the best handle on the current thread/situation, before wading in with an arsey comment and then try to defend it. A bit like the rest of us do before we post stuff. Just sayin' ;)

    Officially old

    On the subject; Jnr Doctors - I don't know whether to give them a lolly or ask them to name their favourite cartoon. The Jnr Dr I saw this morning, I could've bounced him on my knee and I'm not even old! I feel proper ancient now :(

    Everyday Backpack. What do you have or use?

    The wife stole my NF Jester that I've had since uni. I need a new backpack now that I'm back in the office. I'm done with cheap stuff and the horrible work Targus offerings. Colleague uses one of these and swears by it, quite fancy it: https://www.boundarysupply.com/products/errant-pack-x-pac

    Owning a French car, why why why?

    I'm writing this from a hospital bed, seemingly having narrowly dodged meningitis! So please excuse my indulgence whist I await the approval of the Infections Consultant in sending me home... My first car was a Renault Fuego Coupe TX. 'Fuego' meaning 'fire' strangely. Gifted to me on my 17th...

    Check Your 4090's 12vhpwr Connectors To Make Sure They are in Pristine Condition

    So my CM Vertical mount appeared yesterday, this will enable me to remove the CableMod 90 degree connector. I haven’t noticed any issues in 2+ months but can’t take the risk and don’t want the hassle of having to send the card for repair. Pretty miffed I’ve had to spend around 100+ notes to...

    Melted CableMod 4090 90 degree adapter

    Is there any route to return the cards to the retailer as defective, or is it a case that they are functioning as per requirement until they melt? If the AMD alternative was as performant or more so, I could see more people retuning their cards. Instead we’re all trying to find workarounds and...

    Melted CableMod 4090 90 degree adapter

    So what ultimately is the solution here? - if you use the cablemod adaptor or direct PSU cable/nVidia cable you may still have a failure. - if you have a failure and manage to get your card repaired/replaced, will it not just happen again? It’s starting to sound like we all should get...

    PSP - Reviving my old one (PSP-1000) dead/battery

    Can anyone recommend a decent replacement battery for a PSP 1000? There are dozens out there and I can’t tell which are more credible replacements due to all the mixed reviews :(
