Had a little helper while assembling my new chair so I felt it only right to let him try it out first

I have the fat c**t size of this. Best chair I've ever had

I have to use cushions to fill the space around me in mine! Especially as I've lost weight and dropped down to 10 stone. Not been this light since I was about 14 years old!

Wanna borrow 10 stone so you fit the chair Andy? 😂

Fanatec on the offers again....
Ended up ordering the load-cell pedal today. Looking forward to having some additional resistance on the brake pedal now.

I am not buying anything else this month.

My prescription lenses turned up for my VR headset today, so in all honesty I'm busy taking VR p**n to a whole new level of clarity and crispness anyway.

Just went to check but it turns out I didn't even have Epic installed. Apparently I've got 261 games now 😂

It's a bizarre addiction that most people can relate to. I very rarely play anything on Epic for the main reason that I detest their front end app - it's like the designer for the ex-Origin app gave himself a labotomy with a chainsaw and then felt compelled to write the Epic Games one.
I have been known to 'trial' free games on Epic and then buy them on cheap in Steam, if I like them.

Hmmm - just checked my Epic Games library....

The look on my girlfriend's face as all these parcels arrive after I told her I was only buying a second hand case - priceless 🤣

That'll be spilling out the sides

Better than not making full contact, not that it really matters. This was my 4790k which ran at 4.8Ghz for years and temps never went above the low 70s. May have had something to do with the fact I de-lidded it though 🤔That'll be spilling out the sides

I should have bought an Xbox 🤬

What’s up with it?
Clio 182
Won't power on. Board is getting power because the RGB lights up when I turn the power supply on, but nothing happens when I short the power pins.
I originally thought it might be the power button on the case, but it still didn't respond when I unplugged the button and used a screwdriver to short the pins.
I've tried reseating the RAM, I've tried only using a single DIMM, both of them separately, I've reseated the CPU, I checked for damaged pins, I've tried booting with no GPU, I've tried booting with no RAM.
Something's clearly fucked, but I don't know what 😞
Clio 182
I've tested the PSU in my old system and it boots up first try, so I'm pretty sure that narrows it down to motherboard or CPU. No idea how to diagnose which it is without having spares 🤔
Clio 182
Yeah that's my thinking, bloody annoying though, especially as I used all my thermal paste so I could post a silly photo in here 😂
Clio 182
Either that or there's plenty of mayo in the fridge 😏
It's normally electrically non-conductive to avoid those issues.
Clio 182
Lol no, it's non-conductive anyway so wouldn't be an issue. Believe it or not there was barely any squeezed out the sides, despite my best efforts 😂
Clio 182
I think postage would cost more than the components cost!
Clio 182
Yeah but I don't have a little beepy speaker. There's lights on the mobo for CPU, RAM, GPU and something else though, and none of them were lit up or flashing.

This is the dark side of self-building a PC, troubleshooting is an enormous pain in the arse when it all goes wrong.
I remember saying never again many years back when I just couldn't get a damn machine working and it was due to some really stupid conflict between that particular motherboard and a particular expansion card, but only when used with a specific CPU 💥
Build my last few PCs myself, obviously, because humans forget pain over time
Motherboards with on-board diagnostic readouts are scary expensive these days, I have no idea why, it's become some sort of premium feature.

I vividly remember laughing at my mate when he bought a pre-built a few years ago, I'm starting to think he was onto something 🤔This is the dark side of self-building a PC, troubleshooting is an enormous pain in the arse when it all goes wrong.

I'll definitely forget this experience by the time I decide to build a new one, this is only the third I've built in 8 years, I've managed to have nearly as many children in that time!

my pc is about 6 and a half years now, what's the component prices like currently at the minute? Been saying to myself this year or next year I'll be getting a new one but been saying that past couple years. Overall it's still doing alright other than the blue screen of death.
One of the things has popped in my mind a few times is wether to get one with the RGB's, what's the average lifespan for them for the fans?

It was definitely a dead board. New one arrived this morning and booted up first try. Amusingly it's also better specced and cheaper than the broken one, so I feel a bit better about the whole fiasco 👌

Brave is a decent browser, but as a search engine it can suck a big fat dick. I'd rather use Bing 😂
