Touching cloth for a while but I have video output again - Nvidia drivers installing.

Bloody whole new BIOS now, need to go do my CPU overclocking again.
good to see everything is back on track. redoing oc is way better then bricked mb.

edit: think about some cheap vga card kept in reserve for cases like this.
some of those should do the job

My, such a big thing you swoosh around. Luckily I am quite very drunk and trying to consume enough water to nullify the effects of the evil alcohol (namely IPA's) so that tomorrow I awake none too worse for wear.

FWIW - it has taken me about 10 minutes, no 15, to edit this post to make it legible. Jesus - don't tell Finners or Freedom, they'll not play BF4 with me on Sunday. Oh Yeah - One last thing - I have a 75.9% asic Kingpin - guess what - it clocks about 1500 on stock - hint for the wise - Fastest GPU on earth is any 980ti. Unless you like copper or want to void warranties - buy a Palit Jetstream card.

It was my old X79 BIOS. Did some googling on wife's laptop and found others with same issue. Had to flash it using the USB flash function (with PC on standby), which was pretty cool but never worked for me before.
But new BIOS obviously wiped old settings and has left it a wee bit wonky.
Best thing is, my Bitspower full cover block arrived yesterday so I'll fit it next week. It's for the 980 version but works fine on mine, according to Kingpin cooling guys.

Christ, Skylake got expensive. Got my i7 for £180, and intel is charging £320 for the 6700K, not to mention the cost of DDR4 being higher.

4790K - £259.99
6700K - £319.99

Seems ludicrously overpriced to me
ofc it is. question is why diff in uk is so big when in ger is about 25 euro (what is this 17-20 gbp?).
intel factory is in dublin so i dont see any reason for those prices. i think retailer is trying to milk unaware customers.

I usually get most of it done in the days beforehand, but we'll have to take a timeout at some point on the Thursday because it's review day. I usually throw something up at 12.30 so it'll only be the morning when I'm busy.

Partner is also off to work in the morning, and I usually do recording Thursday night but I'm off the whole week so I can do it Friday. You up for heading to the movies or something on Thursday afternoon?

Note to self, Scotsmac is not mead. Asked partner to get some mead while she was at the shops, she asked me if I wanted Harvest or Scotsmac. Always drink Harvest so I thought, why the hell not try something else?

Turns out its a mixture of wine and whiskey and a tonne of sugar by the tastes. Has a bizarre hint of cocoa in there too.
