Ah I see, yes. Dirt Rally has Cloud sync. Thanks

orbitalwalsh · 26 Apr 2018 at 20:18

Still find the saved files on the desktop as well , all about redundancy storage ! Haha

Any idea on the best way of finding and transferring save game files? Don't want to lose my Dirt Rally save haha

Clicky

NathanL · 26 Apr 2018 at 20:24

Thing is Plec, doesn't that back up ALL the files? Rather than just save game?

Think I've got it though, I've found thre Dirt Rally files I want. I don't really care that much for the rest at the moment, maybe the witcher 3 but I'm happy enough taking the risk of the cloud storage with that one

Yes, but you can can pick and choose the games you want to save/back up.

If you've only got a couple of games that you care about it should be pretty simple - especially as they're not third party installed games.

Best tip, build on the Mobo box or out of case. Just to see if it posts to bios

Can't wait to see some pics

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 19:19

Already confused, there seems to be a cable that comes with the wraith which doesn't have a place in the fan unit anywhere. Think it's the RGB cable but where do it go from and to??

What do you mean by this?? I was going to do all the mobo, cpu, cooler outside and then put it in the case, that correct?

Most people just build into the case and power up, some of use out the board on the Mobo box, out the chip in, and cooler, slot in the GPU and plug in power cables . Then see if it boots into bios.

RGB cable with plug into the RGB header on the Mobo . Believe that board has 5pin RGB and 3 pin digital. It will plug into the 5 pin but leave on pin sticking out as that's the White 5th pin

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 19:44

Ah okay, think I'll just put it in the case, seems correct to me.

Yeah, so one end goes in the RGB header, what of the other side? It's just a loose cable

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:04

Is there a specific direction the wraith needs to be over the CPU??

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:05

And I'm using an alcohol wipe to get rid of the pre applied paste yeah?

If you've got better paste then use. Use some tissue first to wipe the bulk off then go in with the alcohol wipe

Believe this time the cooler can be mounted in any direction.. could be frong though , think the amd logo should be around the top

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:09

I've got the grizzly, okay will get some tissue

They slap that stuff on to much

orbitalwalsh · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:11

I was thinking about the 2700x cooler , bit above video should help

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:14

Sorry they slap what on too much?

NathanL · 27 Apr 2018 at 20:18

Also, he seemed pretty sure of spreading the paste out, will just putting a blob on be okay? Will it spread when I slowly put the cooler on it?
