I have to say your all a right shower of f****rs.
Every time I come in here I see something else I despretaly need. Only yesterday I pulled the trigger on that bloody cooler master keyboard( my son told me I need a good keyboard for arma 2) and now you all have me dreaming of 1440p and CF'ing my 7950...ffs.

B*****ds the lot if ya

Only kidding:cool:

Aye, I might have to pick up a U2713HM for my birthday...

120 Hz on my CRT is night and day compared to 60 Hz on my Catleap. Aiming in fast-paced shooters like Quake or Team Fortress got significantly easier because you can turn quickly while still tracking opposition because of the clear picture.

Definitely worth it

ShadowHearth · 05-07-2013 05:32PM

I only do cable management if cables start to get coughed in fans. :pac:

I have no patients with it and I never look inside PC anyway.

That would drive me mad knowing that the cables aren't tidy and out of the way.

I woke up at 5.30 yesterday ran in to turn on the pc to finish downloading my games bundle and crawled back to the feathers and slept soundly till 9.30! :eek:
Not having it in my steam library was going against my nights sleep....crazy or what?:o

Whats crazy is the fact you turned the pc off before the downloads where finished

Came across this today:

Google are paying Adblock Plus to have their adverts displayed. Not too pleased about this myself. Any alternatives that are recommended? It's google ads that annoy me more than any others.

My son was gaming at the time so u didn't want to lag him out.
I'm on 8mb bb cause I'm about 10.5 miles outside Waterford probably won't get fibre optic till 2020

How hot are all your computers today? This room is always the hottest room in the house because of the couple of computers and the big printer always going. No room temp but cpus idling at 44 degrees C, 20 over normal. Must be the world telling me to get out of the house. Nice try nature but no thanks!

NTMK · 06-07-2013 02:50PM

For those of us who like racing sims Project Cars has a new trailer out

Link

it looks stunning

Its made by the same devs that made NFS Shift

Have you the heating on or something?My cpu is idling at 26°C

BloodBath · 06-07-2013 03:45PM

Heating on? Ambient temps are about 26c in my place with all the windows open. How are you getting 26c?

Your ambients are surely no lower than 20-22.

Serephucus · 06-07-2013 03:46PM

I'm getting around 35-40 here...

BloodBath · 06-07-2013 03:54PM

37c here with a 3570k and a 212 evo. Ambient is 22-24c at the mo.

Squaredude · 06-07-2013 03:55PM

I've no idea what my ambient temps are.But according to Core Temp the temperature of my cores are Core#0:24,Core#1:18,Core#2:32 and Core#3:18

Baked.noodle · 06-07-2013 04:05PM

Q6600 @ 3Ghz: 43, 44, 40, 38. Windows open.

glynf · 06-07-2013 04:15PM

2500k @ 4.6; 30 28 26 29, web browsing.

Home a little bit, so room is OK, but its b**stard warm out..

Gumbi · 06-07-2013 04:29PM

30 - 36 for me. My temps constantly jump around, from like 25 - 32 etc. That wouldn't be my board applying voltages etc. incorrectly/randomly? Maybe it's just the temp sensor? My Gigabyte has always been like this.

My room is warmer than usual but cool enough, computer not in direct sunlight and window is open.

I'd like to try the racing sims. What's the basic kit I'd need to get started?

Portlawslim · 06-07-2013 04:35PM

Ah lads what a shower of nerds we are!!!
I'm on the phone sitting in the back just after lighting the BBQ.
But I'd love to be gaming

Spending quality time with the missus

and having a beer so it's all ok.

BloodBath · 06-07-2013 04:40PM

No harm. You might as well make the most of the little bit of good weather we get. I say as I'm sitting inside on my pc

glynf · 06-07-2013 04:41PM

Well, I did my bit-was in town with herself earlier, so I feel I can justify a bit of time on line, keeping an eye on steam as well..;)

Pain to go anywhere else today for me anyway, roads jammed with bloody day trippers and MAMMAL's.

Woohoo! The CM quickfire cherry brown club has another new member :pac:
