It depends on the pump, you’d need to check the specific AIO. That said, you can pick up manually controlled 12v PWM signal generators for less than a tenner on eBay, or Noctua do one for about £20 if you want a trusted brand.

Yep, something along those lines should do the job just fine. You can now get air coolers which can handle 300W loads too, but they’ll be on their limit. A decent water cooling loop should handle that load with headroom to spare. Really it depends what your future plans are, if you think you...

Yes, there should be plenty of options, the main potential difficulty is in mounting the cooler to what you want to cool and getting good thermal contact. Is it something which could be immersed in water? Or something non-conducive like mineral oil?

Holy mother of god…… We got very close to having a back door which could arbitrarily inject malicious code into ssh requests as part of the default install of some major Linux distros...

That’s really interesting, thanks for the feedback. I was hoping for way more plug and play than that, a bit of tweaking is fine but not tons of messing around. Maybe that’s a benefit of Fanatec, is their compatibility a bit more mature?

I imagine they've run into some fairly mahoosive cashflow problems because their entire shipping chain collapsed. Will have been chargebacks a-plenty from people who paid on credit cards for a start. Then you've got the reputational damage which will have impacted new orders too. All forseeable...

Yeah that’s a massive vote of no confidence in him from the bank right there. “We’ll give you another few months to get your s**t together, but only if you fire this useless berk.”

Picked up a sliding pedal mount for £40 in a sale recently, it's made such a difference to have easy fine adjustment on the pedal position. Definitely ready for a wheel upgrade now. It's still so, so much better than a controller but I've got to the point where I want some detailed feedback...

"Full service history" Um...... riiiiiight........

3 year burn-in warranty on the Alienware too, which is nice.

I’m more thinking of the difference OLED makes compared to LED, the contrast and blacks are so good. I think micro/nano LED is supposed to get close but not quite there. My current monitor was a very good one at the time (ROG Strix XG35VQ) but compared to the 42” TV on the Xbox it’s nowhere.

IIRC the Alienware AW3423DWF was supposed to be the pick if you want something a bit smaller. I keep looking at these new generation OLED ultrawides ever since I got an OLED TV for my XBox, they just look sooooo good.

Yeah I was having real trouble with the main gun, until I remembered that one of my buffs was frag bullets. Yeah, probably not ideal for that mission 😂

I ended up just wading in there and punching most of them to death, because they had handguns and I’d buffed my armour so they were basically just amusing squishy things 😂

Finished it. @Darren S your review is 100% spot on. By the time I'd upgraded to auto-heal, full armour and 50% of the combat tree I was basically unstoppable unless I did something incredibly stupid. Glad I played it, can't see me going back to it, worth what I paid.
