Bought two bottles of Moscatel for girlfriend, she decides its "too strong" after half a glass. Looks like I'm getting wasted on wine while I learn to play Shogun 2

Yeah, me and my brother found that emailing origin is like asking a prostitute for your money back. He set his Origin name in BF3 as GayBoyWalton, they banned him and his account immediately, but he emailed and complained they were discriminating against gays (hes not even gay) and demanded his account back and he would change his name. Needless to say they replied explaining how they're a company that supports "all ways of life" and gave him his account back, but that other users may find his name "Offensive" and should change it.
When in doubt, just pretend to be gay.

I've had this in my basket for 4 days now:

But no money (except overdraft and credit card)

 

[d1nky]

i couldnt even find a way of emailing them, i tried the help centre bit and i was stuck in a loop of questions and redirected to the same page.... i gave up, i was drunk and thought i had enough of their immature games lol

ive got a order for this

think it is,this is what I've just got-

A 120GB PNY prevail elite, seems ok to me, my boot time is amazing, less than 30 secs. I'm also getting a 2TB WD black tonight to pair it with, my windows storage will be nice and fast now.

This is the drive i'm getting, for £50, bargain.

I'd say it should, wanna see a massive OC on it

 

[d1nky]

Can never have too much storage, I got my Corsair Force 3 with only 12GB left, my 2TB Games drive only has 300GB left and my 2TB data drive has 800GB left. Game drive may need a 2TB RAID 0 friend soon.

I got a decent 8350, 4.8 on 1.475v

How good of a deal is £60 excluding shipping for a used 5870?

 

[RCoon]

You could get a 6850 for the same, probably better VRAM too.

EDIT: That being said, the 5870 is more powerful.

 

[d1nky]

you could probably find better tbh

i got a broke 6850 here, trying to track down the person i said id give it too but hes disappeared and so is the thread lol

and i hope with uber cooling and a bit of luck ill get some good oc.

im planning on making an ice tray for the bottom rad lol

 

[Tatty_Two]

You can pick up B Grade HD 7850's for under £100 (still comes with 1 year warranty), faster than the 5870 and better value IMO.

I take two boot time figures-

From beep to win desktop- 26seconds

From when bios screen goes off to boot windows to win desktop- 12seconds

EDIT- this is what the drive is, not bad for £50

[d1nky]

i think ive had it boot to desktop from the beep in 8 seconds.

windows task manager, start up tab shows bios time. is that it?

now i have to seperate os's and got to click which one and using a 4 core, so it takes two days to boot lol

and thats a great deal oon that HDD, i like mine slow. helps with benching from it.

 

[cheesy999]

My computer doesn't beep but

Time from pressing the button to desktop is 20.4 seconds
Time from end of bios to desktop is 5.1 seconds (windows 8's best feature)

(times were taken with the stopwatch on my phone, so +- seconds depending on how well i can judge when the bios ends)

 

[Deleted member 24505]

My pc is a q8200 with a lol G31 board, and ddr2, so I'm quite impressed. Getting a z77 board soon though, so that should speed up my machine quite a bit. Will be able to use the SSd on a sata 6g connection, and my video card will be on pci-e 2.0 instead of the 1.0 i guess on this old board.

I imagine the g31 is a bit of a bottleneck as far as bandwidth go

You got it set to ahci?

I'm really not sure, this bios aint the best, though I will have a look when I reboot next.

Just checked and the HDD has 3yrs left on the warranty (09/2016) so I have registered it with WD.

I think i'll just leave this here....
