You need to watercool it.

I blame the chilli battered cod last night..

Ok.. should I try cooking and egg on it..

Worried water cooking may break the block.

Only if you post back the results with evidence!

Uss Sir!

Hmm - abject failure.. british summer isn't hot enough.. but tomorrow is even hotter .... hmmm a challenge!

Looks like it's almost on the verge of going for it.. (the slightly cloudy appearance). Recommend non-chilled egg.

OP, do you have a job?

Need about 65 degrees to cook an egg. You're not too far off

Lol made redundant Nov. Currently waisting my own money (no sign on) in getting a new job.. had 3 interviews in the last two weeks, all feedback is positive, got second round F2F interview tomorrow. Job applications today...

I wonder what temp the car is..

What a waste of an egg. I would definitely smite you if I witnessed this.

NickK · 30 Jun 2015 at 15:15

Car is a no go.. it's blue and even the black bits are cooler even though it's in full sun.

Yup, thought so. It's gets tedious when I'm just always right

Your cover has karked it, I'm afraid. I'd normally advise a simple reinstall, but that version of Manhole is no longer supported and wasn't intended to be compatible with your existing hardwear anyway.

I suggest you replace it with a Gatic F900.

Judging by the size of the cover on my monitor, a pringles tin cover should do. Sorted.

Good luck

Your current interface material is failing, I recommend solder.

Speaking as a certified sewerage technician, the heat transfer of the Pringles tin is grossly insufficient and would result in severe degredation, which presents a further risk from a health & safety perspective... never mind the idea of eating an egg cooked on such a rusted surface! :eek:

Watercool the drain.

You would need a total of 6x D5 pumps, with a swimming pool.

48c is a excellent "full load" temperature, overclock it past 4GHZ then post results.
