    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Anything really with a bit of detergent action to it. I've even used glass cleaner in the past - but don't use anything abrasive like cream cleaner (JIF). As mentioned earlier, we've got a big bottle of rubbing alcohol in the office and use that regularly. The big plus point with that is that...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    Definitely my favourite if I was running on air alone. But the colour scheme of Noctua..... my god. Even looks out of place on a Morris Marina from the late 70s! Thankfully they've got some black products now, presumably having realised that people don't want the colours of sun-bleached brown...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    As @Daz... says - if it came like that, it's likely to be the wrong way around. It's not going to ruin anything as such, but it's far from optimal if left like it is. Moving the heat-sink off is a very straight-forward process - but I wouldn't do it without having some decent replacement paste...

    I'd check if that HS&F unit doesn't need to be rotated 180 degrees. If the airflow fan is an inlet rather than exhaust, then you'll be fighting the incoming cool air from the front of the case (presumably). Apologies for my scribbling, but leaving it as is, looks like you could have the top...

    Have you got any local access to an air compressor? I spoke to the garage before I went for the MOT and they were happy for me to use theirs on my PC - lol. Doing it by hand or with those cans of compressed air will only do half a job. You need proper PSI behind it as dust and debris will...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    At least we can all look on the bright side. It's highly unlikely to follow the path of Duke Nukem Forever and it's 14-years of development. And even if it got close, it wouldn't suck balls like that game did.

    It’s that time of year again... car insurance

    I think that would be a great way for the industry to shift towards as postcode plays a massive part in your premium. But if you're dealing with people who are familiar with the area themselves - or ideally, would be on hand to come and pay a visit to assess your policy, it would give a far...

    It’s that time of year again... car insurance

    Not quite there yet - but the 12 months road duty I paid for the 182 yesterday, works out more expensive than my mods-claimed insurance :)

    Serious Sam 4

    Anyone tried this yet? As per the usual, previous format - it's superbly stupid, insane, cheesy and completely OTT. That however is exactly what makes it great. I also have to say, that it has a significant body-count per level in it too and is one of the few games recently that still...

    Looking for PS4 platform game recommendations for a newbie

    Have you looked at Overcooked 2? Can have up to 4 players in co-op and is great for all ages. Be warned - it may trigger family arguments though! edit - just saw treemanx's comment above - two votes for it then. ;) https://www.team17.com/games/overcooked-2/

    Clio 172 Phase 1 - Barn find

    Great work - great find. It always amazes me with the skill and patience of people out there when on the face of it, it looks like a disaster! I think I'd cry looking at those cills originally... :LOL:

    The plan and the reality

    Why not try the best of both worlds? @Niall has made his car track focused, but it's clearly had plenty of TLC chucked at it as well. A track car doesn't always have to be a track shed. :) https://cliosport.net/threads/nialls-bg-182.804998/

    Impressive. You've clearly missed out the other four keyboards that are necessary to map keys to as well, from that picture.

    Evo 7

    White is obviously the colour to have Evos in. Not much a fan of the VII looks compared the stunning VI that preceded it - but I certainly wouldn't say no.

    Steering all over the place after suspension change

    I think alignment is a definitive water-shed maintenance job that divides those interested in cars and those who don't give a toss. Been there several times before myself where a realignment has transformed how the car feels. Not only that, but proper alignment will reduce unnecessary wear to...

    Rear arches scrubbing

    I've had OEM dampers and Eibach Sportlines over the years with zero rubbing. Even with four people in the car. Some idea of ride height from the side....

    As @Jeff simply says - PC building is pretty easy these days - colour coding connections and making it so you really are guided along. I would strongly advise checking for the latest BIOS release before you reinstall Windows on the new PC too. I'd never just reconnect an O/S drive into a new PC...

    The Power PC Thread [f*ck off consoles]

    I still think the AMD way of having pins on the CPU with slots on the mobo is superior to Intel being the other way around. When I cleaned the CPU pump recently, my eyes were convinced that one pin on the mobo was bent on the CPU bed. So far so good, but I much prefer the AMD way it slotting...

    RDR2 coming to PC this month

    I'd heard that RDR2 has some weird decryption on-the-fly with regards to the PC version. It's an attempt to reduce pirated versions of the game being played, but in turn adds a performance overhead in running the game. My *ahem* version ran flawlessly on my 1080 @ 1440 resolution. But the...

    RDR2 coming to PC this month

    Just tried RDR2. Were the K&M inputs considered by a lobotomised octopus with clown-shoes on the end of its tentacles? R* has notoriously been shite for thinking beyond the box and believing that a game with what seems to be 90+ inputs would actually be better for any sane person to use K&M...

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    You can get really lucky with drops and other times, not a hope in hell. On the void relic runs, I’ll try four or five attempts and then switch to something else. Chances are I’ll come back for that part in a week’s time and get it on my first attempt!

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    In all fairness - I'd just pickup with the character you had and persevere. You get to a tipping point where things start to fall into place and the more you progress, the more options and connections can be made. That's perhaps a little easy for me to say so though.... ;)

    [PC/XBone/PS4] Warframe

    I have to admit - I login to Warframe daily for the reward and still play it frequently. I wouldn't however be envious of a new player just starting out. It's bewilderingly deep and I can fully understand how off-putting it must be to casual players.

    If it's rebuild time, then @NorthloopCup above is your man. Worked wonders on getting mine back up to spec! :cool:

    182 seat options - with the minimum of fuss?

    Oh - now then....... @leeds2592 please PM me with what you're thinking off, price wise and any further details. Cheers, D.

    Help needed! 182 Trophy 173 (Video)

    When mine had blackened tips, it was diagnosed as being a faulty upstream oxygen sensor - which when replaced seemed to sort out the issue. I didn't in all fairness notice any change in smoothness of idle, or effect on MPGs (if it was over-fuelling) - but for certain, it wouldn't be doing your...
