Scan are as bad at times.

I've been for the last 2 years, it's sodding brilliant!

We've got a megadrive and a boxed C64 sat in the attic we should really have a go on...

Is it a 5ghz signal and the laptop a 2.4ghz only unit?

TpLink RE220. 19 quid and great connection.

This. It's a box of electrical gubbins, and when it's on, there's no need to look at it. RGB is for kids and pedos.

I have the version 1s, and they are bloody epic. Great choice.

Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX board in and fully running. MSI board I had is a horror show looking on the forums. All in now though, super fast!

Dead MOBO on arrival - and looking online, I'm far from the first person. Seems I chose an absolute lemon of a board.

Just creating a W11 Media USB ready for tomorrow. All the kit is here. MSI MAG Tomahawk Z790 WIFI i7-14700K Corsair DDR5 Ram (Vengeance) Deepcool AK620 Cooler Sabrent SSDs 3060Ti GPU (ASUS DUAL) Corsair 850x PSU Fractal XL Silent full tower. Should be interesting :)

I've pulled the trigger on finally replacing my 4770k. 14700k inbound, ddr5 and nvme time. Sad part is I'll be going W11, which I'm not happy with, but nevermind.

Awaiting the 14th gen release next month. 14700k will be my poison I reckon. I'm actually going to sell the Jag XF to fund it lmao

Oh christ, is it that bad?

There's a "Japanese" meet tomorrow - is it just arrive and leave for the usual chap off the street there? Or do you need to book / pay etc?

Anyone jumping on the 14th Gen Intel in October?

The AMD variant is the 6750 XT, and £50 more. Fair few websites punting 3060Ti as the go to good budget card for Video Rendering. The big changes come later this year when I retire the 4770k for either a 13700k or one of the new 14th gens.

1070 GTX is about to finally be replaced with a 3060Ti (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BQJLPVSP/?tag=cliospnet01-21) £302 ain't bad. The 1070 GTX does me fine for what I play, but the Video Rendering is a tad slow, so this will help a little. Keeping the 1070 aside for a later build once...

We've been having a BT nightmare recently trying to Upgrade. Apparently, the Cul-de-Sac is now cabled for stupid fast Full Fibre. It's also apparently a 1.8gbps trial area. We're currently on 35mbps FTTC, which works but not cutting edge. Openreach have confirmed several times it's 100% ready...

You sure it's not crabs?

Sadly, a little bit too far to "pop" over - 3 fecking days if I walked, too.

FFS Dave!

Look at the specs on page 1! 10 Years ago!!!

My niece and nephew play it, and of course I batter them at it thanks to my years playing CS:S lol It's comical to bush camp and just pick off kids around the world. The bitches.

Install Wireshark and let it run whilst it's dropping out. I had something similar years ago - DivX was the issue. It was flooding the network and the PC was going mental.

Have you bought the Bosch ones, yet? Not sure if they've been mentioned.

Used them before, are very good. We want Ford UK to replace it, but if they don't (Ford UK technical have also agreed the voltages are too low), I'm replacing it with a Bosch, and then the old one is going to Varta UK (Manufacturer for Ford UK) for a full report that I can use against Ford.

Yep, starts it. It keep flagging up on her screen with a "Start the car or turn off the ignition" once she hops in the motor. The Yaris, with the same type of battery has never discharged, operated correctly over the last year and shows 12.7v when sat / cold.

This is pretty much word for word what the Battery Warehouse chap said, along with "You get away with it on an old car battery and more so the Leisure batteries. Not these".
