So my better half is currently learning to drive, and therefore it’s first car time. What better, then, than a Mk2 Clio? So it’s a 2005 1.4 16V but it’s actually pretty clean. There is like ZERO corrosion underneath, and the engine is absolutely sweet as a nut. It’s even got a sunroof which...

Yup, if you want accuracy you get the mics out. If you want to quickly check stuff then a vernier.

I guess it's because I'm a machinist but I'd always take an analogue jobby over a digital one that will, no matter what you do or buy, eventually end up full of coolant.

5800x and I use it to play Splinter Cell Chaos Theory and NFSU2 😂

Yes and no. A Max Q is massively downgraded, and in many cases even a full card is highly power limited, but for £2500 you could definitely get a decently cooled/powered desktop card in a laptop.

Definitely PC master race, but the decision between laptop and PC is up to you. 1. as you say, a laptop will not be as nice to game on because touchpad etc, however you could simply buy a keyboard and mouse and have them set up on a USB hub. When you get home, plug the hub and screen in and the...

Had to search for his username. Stokie4ker fuckin hell. Not good.

The kids showed it to me.

Who was the first?

That is the $64,000 question.

My favourite comment was ‘Ahh I was just messing around lads, tell you what, come on in, I’ve got some cracking stuff to show ya on the laptop’

I don’t think he’s going to reply somehow.

@DaveDreads can see to that

And we’re back to £25k again, still holding steady which is encouraging.

Yeah I reckon it’s gonna settle around £10-15k but it’s bounced up and down in the 20-30k mark for a few weeks now so could just as easily stabilise again. National currency of El Salvador ftw

To be fair it was fine running with just a few cars, but yeah once you amp things up it struggles. Very happy now, although it’s using the remainder of the thermal paste applied to my 4690 about 5 years ago, lol. New paste here tomorrow, not that 60-70degrees CPU temp is the end of the world!

Currently testing with Assetto... 25-30 cars on the grid would max out my 4690k. 5800x is handling 56 (full grid) at 26% utilisation, lol

I was trying to reinstall windows! Tried via DVD, USB drive, nothing. Flashed the BIOS and it fired right up on the original OS 🤦🏻‍♂️

f**king 5000 series processor on an AM4 motherboard... BIOS update required to accept the CPU 🤦🏻‍♂️ t**t.

So I’ve swapped my motherboard/cpu/ram over and when trying to boot (windows boot manager or the ssd directly as 1st boot priority in BIOS) it’s stuck in ‘Preparing Automatic Repair’ No biggy, have to reinstall Windoze I guess, but it gets past ‘press any key to boot from CD/DVD’ and then...

Exactly, the same awesome content with better FFB/visuals/physics would be a killer.

Yeah, I don’t think they’ll be using UE5 for it though, apparently the devs thoroughly hated using UE4 for Competizione as they couldn’t tweak as much as they wanted at the engine level. Hopefully it retains the moddability as it’s obvious from AC1 how much it’s helped sales, but also just how...

Racesimstudio.com So good, even F1 uses them.

Yeah absolutely no interest. In other news, I’ve just upgraded basically everything other than my GPU - 5800x, 32GB RAM, 2x 2TB M.2s, and motherboard to suit, first world problems but my 56 car Assetto Corsa grids were really maxing out my 4690k. Also got a 3060 laptop as well for work.

Rookie badge for racing. Apt for a learner car ;) LY is my favourite colour by far but for some reason it looks even better on the Mk4s. A tad deeper, I think.

I think things are going to be fairly stable until the next architecture of graphic cards come out and everybody can mine that much more profitably, so a few years I guess.

Kinda, was up 5% yesterday and down 7% today so not massive. BTC at least. I cash out when it’s high and accumulate when it’s low, I’ve made getting on for £300 now but that was starting on a high. When things are crashing it can be a bit hard to get your money out but that’s only if you’re...

Fcuking love this guy. How best to start a video? Well let's roll a Hilux onto its roof on the driver's side, whilst wearing no helmet. (30,000lbs is 13.6 tonnes)

Half the people on here don’t even know what chads are! Looks lovely that, between that, Albi blue and Liquid Yellow, I don’t know why anyone would choose any other colour for a 200.

Post your long card number, expiry date and verification code off the back and I’ll look into it for you.
