  1. Would it not have been possible to make the negative of the heatsink and 3d print it, then cast in the gaps?

    Windows 9

    Anyone else notice a more orange tinge to Linus?
  3. I didn't think you could even put the CPU in the wrong way round as the notches don;t line up... unless it was the wrong CPU?
  4. Silly question - what was the camera? I'm looking to upgrade and loved the look of it
  5. Hi again! So i'm in the process of building a new PC and I am pricing parts. I just wondered what most people do with their storage solutions. This PC will mainly be used for gaming, with around 15 games permanently installed and others from time to time. I understand that there is a benefit to having games on an SSD for faster read/write times, but is it more cost effective to buy a large capacity SSD - 900gb+ or go for an SSD + HDD combo, like the one I found here. What I don't want to do is worry about always moving games back and forward, so I guess I could only install on the SSD for big games? As another really small question, the motherboard I have acquired is a MSI X99A SLI PLUS and it states it has quad channel ram slots. Would I be better buying 16gb in 4 sticks to make use of it or 2 sticks of the same value?
  6. Ha yeah I was expecting to see a new PSU in the near future but wasn't sure about the components! Thanks!
  7. Hi there! Silly question I know: Will parts from the US work in the UK? There isn't some silly voltage difference or anything?
  8. That's a good idea - I would probably mainly just use it as a file server, media and hosting some games. It wouldn't really need a heavy duty gfx card at all, and I could just buy a cheap barebones to hide in a wardrobe all the time. That's a good idea! I must have been blinded by the server gods like Linus has!
  9. This is starting to sound like a fun project! I might have to look into it after the weekend! I'm also guessing I would have to acquire some server HDD or would I be able to bodge some normal consumer ones in. I'm not overly worried about setting up RAID to begin with (unless I have no choice to)
  10. Haha is it a good one? I'm guessing the G6 means its 6th gen? Server tech is all over my head!
  11. Yeah I was guessing that I would need a riser, I'm not sure if there is a slot at the back for a card io though?
  12. Hi all! So I recently saw the LTT video on making a Server gaming PC and was looking at ebay at some cheap offerings to play around with. I know that they can be loud, and you are really limited with expansion, but I could move from gaming on it, to hosting game servers on it with relative ease? I found this HP ProLiant DL160 G6 Rack Server Twin Quad Core Xeon L5520 2.26GHz 24GB DDR3 RAM and I am out of my depth. I don;t mind paying for an OS and drives, but would love to know any tips on them. It does have a 1x PCI-Express x16 expansion slot according to the blurb so I'm guessing a small gfx card would fit, and maybe a non power hungry one! Its all up in the air right now and its not a desperate thing to do, was just browsing late one night and stumbled into this world!
  13. I feel bad nerco-ing this, but what would you guys think about a completed system such as this HP ebay offering? I'm guessing a small form factor card would fit in, so all i'd need to buy is a gfx card, hdd and windows?
  14. I'm guessing the YT release schedule is one per week - is the Vessel one faster, or still weekly but on an earlier day? I'm tempted to sign up if the episodes will drop back to back. Netflix has changed how I watch content for the worse it seems.
  15. Maybe not the right place to ask, but it seems SlySoft which was briefly shown is no more?
