Yep, it's an NR200. It's only running a 10th gen i7 11700 with a 65w TDP so that little Noctua cooler will do the job just fine. I'd probably throw one of the chunky BeCool! LP coolers in there if I was running something hotter.

Really enjoyed it in the end! Case was great to work in, everything went smoothly, a genuinely enjoyable build. Only job left to do is swap out the top fans for some Noctuas I have in the other case, as the ones supplied with this are a little bit louder than I’d like.

CPU cooler is missing from my delivery. Company say they are overwhelmed with customer queries because of postal strikes so give them four days to respond to emails about missing items. 🤷‍♂️ I also ordered an ATX power supply by mistake. For some reason my brain translated the "RMx" in the part...

Eufy are in the middle of a bit of a scandal about their supposed "all your data stays local, nothing in the cloud" functionality. In as much as, they totally lied about it. If that's important to you then it's worth keeping in mind.

I did something stupid. Again. I fancied doing a case transplant as I don't like the XPS case at all. Then I decided I wanted to upgrade the motherboard, because the Dell one is pap and won't even let me enable XMP. I don't need more memory performance, it just annoys me that I can't have it...

They had me in stitches on the first car auction video they did where they bought a shonky range rover (is there any other kind) and the caravan ones too. Just a couple of blokes cocking around, what's not to like.

I admire the effort which must have gone into it, but it's pure insanity. £22.5k for something where the fun is at least partially in the journey of building the thing. I do get the lure of having one of the most powerful cars of it's type but bloody hell.

Jersey car maybe? Not technically an import but would need to be UK registered.

I’d say either someone has put an older plate on it or it’s a 2002 car which was imported and allocated an age appropriate plate when brought into the UK and registered here.

Hell, I wouldn't have listened to me either when I was starting out. Boring old fart, f**k off, had to get what I could afford to insure and modding is fun.

The boring, but always true, answer is that if you want a fast car you are best off starting with a fast car.

Another 22b went through collecting cars this week. £250,502 plus £7,200 fees. Ooof.

I used to use compressed air cans at work, but honestly they are a bit s**t as they don't last long, get super cold and are expensive over time. Bought one of those air cleaners linked above instead and it's a great bit of kit, really powerful, but the cost buys quite a few cans of compressed...

You won’t be able to do anything that requires accessing the internet or the phone - so no messaging, calls, navigation, maps, etc It will still work fine as an activity/workout tracker and for apple pay.

Erect. That is all.

A (very!) deep dive into the 4090 melting power connector issue, with actual facts and stuff….

To be fair, I sold the X5 to Daniel and bought the Golf off him, so I'm as much sinner as sinned against. I totally, totally would have had this if I'd not bought the Macan - it tickles every single one of my car buying vulnerabilities, of which there are many :ROFLMAO: Glad to see it stay on...

Don't think so, the design is too modern to have been original isn't it? Cars like this make me sad, such an unusual bit of kit and it's barely moved.

Keep thinking I might map the Golf, then I punch myself in the face to remind myself how stupid that would be for what is just my OH's daily driver and get on with my day.

I'd say don't do anything else unless it's free/very cheap. Enjoy it for what it is and save the money you would have spent on modding it for something better later on down the line.

I thought that looked a bit crap... but then I realised YouTube was running at 480p

Yeah, Seasonic have put out some info on what they think the root cause likely is. Looks like the connector just isn't up to the job.

@adamlstr It's part number 563126, not the one you're looking at

I'm getting it delivered so that's someone else's problem, once it's here it can roll into and out of the garage :ROFLMAO:

Just ordered one, thanks for the tip. I don't have a trade card, but the code SAVE10 works at checkout and brings the price down to £117

Have been, would go again, it's brilliant.

Sludged up or damaged oil pickup, failing oil pump, restriction somewhere else in the oil system (when's the last time it had an oil and filter change?), maybe a oil pressure sensor. That's a potential engine killer so if you're not handy with the spanners yourself I'd get it looked at. If you...

I've got an M.2 boot drive, the HDD is just for my Steam folder. I don't play enough games where loading time is a factor for it to bother me.

Not really a “power” PC, but I had a little play with my XPS which I bought during lockdown/graphics card hell as a cheap way to get a 3060ti. The cooling was an absolute joke. Single 80mm exhaust fan, hard drive blocking most of the airflow from the front of the case even though there was a...

As ever, Sniff Petrol was on point with their satire, probably even more true now than it was in 2019 https://sniffpetrol.com/2019/12/13/under-the-influencer-with-olly-higuys/
