I'm going back in time (21st December '98 if Wikipedia is correct) - to start and play through Baldur's Gate. I've got the Enhanced Editions of both games on the PC and at least one on the iPad. They were supposedly genre-defining back in the day and I must have started them half-a-dozen times...

A shame really..... https://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/145585-nvidia-create-sli-driver-profiles-jan-2021/?fbclid=IwAR3SVO_mH8y96uAmgCWJ2q_THVQxgP8L7iKKhrEXluGmoI9kuFlSbDq4Bkc

Personally, it wouldn't be the glass that would concern me - but the fitment. Done wrong, you can get water ingress and potential corrosion at the top of the A-pillars. Unfortunately there's no way to vouch for that, other than the reputation of the fitter. Mine is still the original glass...

Yep - no different than signing up for a Steam account really. Just installs a launcher onto your PC where you have a library and a store - the usual stuff. https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/ Football isn't really my thing, but I did like the older management games back in the day. Tried...

Three away for free on Epic at the minute - including Football Manager 2020, quite surprisingly?

Very similar to me. According the MSI Afterburner, I'm around 29C on desktop. During games, mid 50Cs with the highest I've seen so far being 62C. Really need to blast out my PC with the air-compressor at work, but I haven't gone back yet. Want to reseat the GPU and CPU pumps with fresh paste too.

Intrigued by what temps you typically get on your 1080 with that setup? My AIO rad is half the size of yours, but it's only cooling the GPU. The Corsair H115i handles the CPU. Are your top fans for venting only?

I guess when you're a professional drugs mule for the Sonora Cartel, you don't have to worry too much about the intricacies of Clio cambelt timing.

I'd much prefer a simple sand-back and repair job - but it seems to be swear words with bodyshops. The two that have actually spoken to me about it and seen the car in person have both said about cutting the entire section out and replacing it. I don't know if that's easier for them, or if it's...

I'm looking into the possibility of having the rear quarter cut out and replaced - to fix both the filler cap issue (which has been there for a good 10+ years and is clearly a very poor design) and address the small bubbling paint area above the leading edge of the bumper lip. Standard Clio...

Probably easier to do it that way!

The only thing that puts me off with Fanatec is that the customer service is absolute toilet - which is more surprising given that they are a German firm. Hopefully the build quality will see you through and that you never have to speak to them directly!

I'd be a little concerned at the cooling efficiency of an i7 in there. I know they aren't exempt from laptops, but for a system designed to cool a little dual-core i3 - it's a big step up. He'd probably have a laptop sounding like Concorde the instant he opened Google up.

The sense of ownership of most things has just gone out the window in recent years. It wasn't long back where the only items you realistically had on 'pay monthly/from now to the foreseeable' were your mortgage and perhaps the car. Now everything is heading this way and I bet when more than a...

Oh yeah - I get that - it just doesn't make common sense in my head! Thankfully my GPU with it's AIO cooler is only mid-50sC when running, so I tend not to worry about heat much.

Do you place your mobile on the monitor stand beneath it? They can interfere with the display signal - it does it on mine - more so via my crappy work's Samsung than by my own iPhone. Tried allsorts in the past - new settings, replacement cables, updating the firmware on the graphics card -...

It always looks nonsensical to me with loops - where you have the biggest heat generator directly connected to the second biggest heat generator and sharing the water flow? Although it's the accepted method above - my brain would be thinking about a seperate GPU and CPU loop and having an...

Went for the Corsair K63 a while back and it's been great. I didn't need the extra space taken up by a numeric keypad (never use it outside of work) and this was a decent price point - around £60 when I bought it...

Must be a fairly common issue that. The ex-wife's 182 did the same - pretty much guaranteed between 2 and 3am most mornings. It wasn't an old car back then either - maybe two years or so. Renault didn't actually fix the issue and car was sold old on not long after.

Tsk! Such a nay-sayer! :P

Needs a proper spoiler to finish it off, too! ;)

A good article covering the potential bottlenecks that can occur. https://www.wepc.com/tips/cpu-gpu-bottleneck/

Tweak your command a little to show the max per slot. See what it says then. wmic memphysical get MaxCapacity, MemoryDevices

Welcome! A Campus Sport will indeed be a Mk2 Clio - even though the mainstream Mk2 family finished production in 2005. I could be wrong, but apart from a different rear end and some changes to the front - all the Mk2 Clios are the same. You might just want to ask a mod to change 'brought' to...

Some stats on the 3080 CUDA and OpenCL performance. @SharkyUK

I really hope that the triple fan setup is a better option on the 1080Ti than the dual fan on the EVGA 1080 FTW that I have. When new, it came with the previous Doom game free and within a couple of minutes, ramped up the fans to make my PC sound like an attack helicopter. They were woefully...

I hit a wall of zero enthusiasm with the previous game about two-thirds the way though, but stuck with it until the end. I don't know what they've done with the later Doom games - but caution and patience now seem to be the preferred ways of progression. Even with the Doom64 game on Steam, it's...

Cannot get on with the front end of the new Minis at all. The V6 looks svelte, curved and purposeful. The Mini has a startled front end of Shrek with bad dental work. I do however, love that GP boot spoiler.

Welcome! From your post, you sound handy with a toolkit and spanners - but the timing on 1*2s is an art form. You definitely need the required locking tools to begin and even then, the engine can run very poorly if just slightly out. Personally, unless you're very confident in tackling it, I'd...
