So I'm going to purchase a new tv in the "sales". Probably going to get an LG smart Tv that's currently 429 Currys which is a bargain IMO.
But it has no built in recorder so what if any are the recommendations?
Don't reaaly want to spend that much ideally as it won't get that much use
Ive bought home some toys to play with over Xmas.
One is a thermal imaging camera and the other is a smoke pencil. Pencil will be good to check airflow and what different fans do.
WANT.
Right what are good things to use for benchmarking graphics card?
3D mark?
I ran the 11 one last night and got what I felt was quite low score of around 5320 (I think).
Just installed Skyrim and am getting a solid 56-60 fps whilst playing, although I am getting an annoying flicker...
I couldnt justify/bring myself to spending nearly 70 quid on a mouse. Got this one for £32 I think and even then I was adding it and deleting it from my basket!
My cables aren't that bad now I have the Antec PSU in and rerouted a few things. Plus all the extra wires to power the fan...
I'd get a boot failure message with an option to revert back to known configuration I "think".
Was only quickly messing and a bit tired so I'll try and concentrate on it more tomorrow.... Hopefully!
Huh noticed something odd tonight.
Was doing some reading about over clocking and was attempting to sort that out. Noticed that I have been running my ballistix tracer memory at 1333mhz instead of 1600mhz. I'll have to change that me thinks!
I'm struggling to get my head round overclocking...
Bought some more shiney bits last few days.
A Roccat Kone V2 mouse and Roccat Taito gaming mouse pad.
Also purchase a few games..Fallout 3 GOTY, Fallout New Vegas, Skyrim, Crysis 2, Doom 3 BFG edition.
I know what I shall be doing over the Christmas break.
Im on ULTRA I believe and that is the maximum setting I can set. When your in the main paths etc foliage is fine, but I found a few spots where it was rubbish.
PSU..

Or Nvidia...
Not entirely sure how you do hi res pics but took some screenshots a while ago whilst playing around with bits and pieces...
Has anyone noticed how when you go look at certain bits of greenery thats what il call "out of the way" IE on the side of a mountain how crap the graphics are...
So yeah bought a fan controller.
Decided I wanted the above due to it being within eye shot and its small enough to not get in the way.
Have 4 fans running, Temp 1/Fan 1 is on the PCB just next to CPU fan located at the back of case,
Temp2/Fan2 is GPU fan for that on the side panel...
Games from the latest humble bundle lots of then don't Gove me the option to install on another drive.
Saints row, command and conquer (and all the associated dlc). Yet titan quest, metro 2033 all give me the option
I have done one mission so far.
Spent the majority of my time going to the radio masts, taking out baddies and crafting stuff. Crafted the 4 weapon holder and rocking with the first Sniper rifle until I gets me more monies to get the M700 and add a silencer onto it.
Stealth FTW
