Just to point out,

The UK TPU thread now has >9000 replies.

Fuck yea.

FreedomEclipse · Jul 11, 2011

damn, and i was gonna see if he could help me wire up some really old speakers as well

got an old set of 5.1s here that are still usable but suffer from a problem with the wired remote that keeps messing with with the volume. was gonna send it to him and see if he could use his skills to fix it.

scaminatrix · Jul 11, 2011

Ah, there's no shortage of skilled people here, me and MightyMission are quite good with those sorta bits. Take your pick :laugh:

MightyMission · Jul 11, 2011

silly question:have you used compressed air or a toothbrush to clean out the dust/dirt/stuff off from between the contacts?

FreedomEclipse · Jul 11, 2011

Of course. but it still happends. and Scam, i thought you was a Repo man!!

scaminatrix · Jul 11, 2011

Ain't had a sniff of work in the last coupla weeks. Been crap. Having to live off savings

Big payday next week though, so hardware buying time!

buy my gear!!! I'll do you an even sweater deal on my 5850s if you want.

Im still waiting for fourstaff. If he got good results. then hes gonna be buying my gear.

If i cant sell those F12 fans, Im just gonna use a small pair of cutters or something and take the fan off them then use the frame as a shroud for my 920 to stop the noise when the fan ramps up

scaminatrix · Jul 11, 2011

I need an nv card. Got a Twin Frozr II GTX 470 lined up and a MM U2UFO just for fun lol Also, Bo$$'s 9800GT's too. Was thinking of your FRIO, but I dunno if I can find a use for it. I just want it to have it :laugh:

MightyMission · Jul 11, 2011

did you try a new pot?(potentiometer)
470s rock at reasonable resolutions,but going from a 1440x900 to a 1680x1050 still with everything maxed i did notice a bit of a drop in frames

scaminatrix · Jul 11, 2011

I'm gaming at 1920x1080 on a 42" TV so it should be a nice upgrade from my 5770 :rockout:

MightyMission · Jul 11, 2011

that looks like a nice step up,plus the tf version is nowhere near as noisy as reference or gainward/palits twin fan jobbies.

scaminatrix · Jul 11, 2011

Yea that's what I like to hear, low noise, but tbh I prefer low temps. I'll gladly battle the noise of a fan at 100% for under 65deg. temps. My HDD hot swap caddy is the noisiest PC component I've ever owned/heard so I'm not fussed about noise much lol

My results are ... :eek:

Sorry Freedom, maybe next time. This is a really sad day for me, my internet (which has just got fixed) runs at 1.69/0.8, slower than in the jungle I call home. WHY DOES EVERYTHING NEED TO GO WRONG /rant

Resits early September. What a waste of holiday.

I am not going to commit seppuku just yet. At least before I get kicked out of Imperial College.

FreedomEclipse · Jul 11, 2011

you at imperial college??? youre closer to me then i thought!!

Fourstaff · Jul 11, 2011

I probably should consider seppuku then. Where do you live? Or at least a general sense of direction, eg 10 mins from Hyde Park etc.

FreedomEclipse · Jul 11, 2011

Cant wait to get the ram i bought from Scam. Its for a friends rig as he still runs AM2 but ive given him a GTX260 at mates rates and we're upgrading from 2gb to some awesome 1066mhz 4gb OCZ. Should run okay after that, hopefully lol.
