  1. Definately looks like someone has heated the blade, You should be able to get rid of this with either a scotchpad or a whetstone.
  2. I had this dilema when building my recent rig, I opted for 980TI as the 1660 prices were inflated and this performed better.
  3. Good morning all, So i have just been given an Asus X370 Crosshair VI Hero motherboard and read online that the early versions of the BIOS on here supported PCIE 4.0 I do not know what version of BIOS it is on currently but is it possible to downgrade if needed and does anyone know the latest version that still has PCIE gen 4? Thanks in advance.
  4. Pics will be coming soon, just doing the xad work this evening
  5. Thanks for the advice. I'll have a look and see if I can use existing standoff points and add some standoffs between the print and the motherboard
  6. Hi all, so I'm planning on designing and 3d printing some motherboard armour but wondering what I can use to attach it, would something like 3m tape work well? I will have all the relevant cutouts for fans and pcie ports etc.
  7. I was looking at the AIOs from a style standpoint. I think really stock cooler would work as I dint really plan on overclocking much if any. Something like a 212 be good for the money?
  8. Thanks for the reply,. I will have a read up on clocking this, I'm hoping to go for a mild clock as it's more of a daily driver than a gaming rig but will help with my multitasking etc too
  9. Yeah it really hit me hard, My wife is a carer and they had NO PPE and neither did my local GP surgery so I would rather have a 3d printed part than nothing at all. over 5k pieces donated but no thanks from them! (the carers and NHS staff were super happy, Interestingly the Management at the Hospital banned 3d printed PPE!) Thanks for the feedback. I was really hoping i could find a cheap AIO to use but unfortunately my lack of budget stops that! I did get donated £25 towards one but nothing under £50 even 2nd hand!
  10. Budget (including currency): £0 Country: UK Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: CAD, 3D Printing, Photo Editing, Coding, General Web Use, Maybe a little light Gaming So here is my story... I, like many others have had a rough time this year but I tried to make the most of it and have been making 3D printed PPE for the NHS running 24/7 and operating on 2hr sleep a night. Sadly this came to an end when the government decided they wanted over £3k for a licence for me to make the stuff to save peoples lives. Obviously I couldn't afford that. Between PPE production, Furlough and then redundancies I have fallen on slightly rough times when my PC decided that it wanted to shart itself resulting in a smoky white death. I have contacted some of the manufacturers but as I bought it all 2nd hand they are not honouring any warranty. Thanks to the amazing community I am part of on social media I have been donated the following: PSU: EVGA 650W GQ Semi Modular GPU: MSI GTX 980TI Armour X2 (Painted fan surround black) MOBO: Asus X370 Crosshair VI Hero CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 1700X COOLER: Stock AMD Stealth RAM: 2X 8GB Corsair Dominator Platinum 3200 CASE: NZXT H510i Black /Red (I have painted red bits black) Am I missing anything I might need? I know I will need some thermal paste to ideally re-seat the CPU cooler fresh. Luckily I have some storage here already and everything was backed up (Thank you VEEAM!!!) Any info would be appreciated.
  11. I have to say i was in a similar position and needed a new chair. I have coxxyx issues and tipped between Secretlab, NobleChairs and a few others. I tried sitting in a few of my friends chairs (who had these) and I found them too firm on my posterior, I ended up with an Atom RS all black premium and love it. I can highly recommend it to anyone. I'm 6ft 2 and 97kg
  12. anyone want to send me a better GPU to use? lol my R7 260x is struggling
  13. Thanks. I lost a load of hrs at work so had to sell my gaming rig but using my spares built together.
  14. Feeling a bit rubbish contributing 130k ppd but it's the best i can do i think.
  15. Nice one!!! i would but for some reason my GPU isnt getting any WU at the moment, Been waiting since 7am
  16. yeah i have had so many issues i'm hoping i can find one that works, the last one i tried stripped out the drivers for my GTX 970
  17. i had big issues finding / installing a driver for my quadro K1200 so just running on the one 970SC at the moment. (and cpu)
  18. I know they are having issues generating enough WU for the amount of availability there is but i for one would love to see the return of the Chome / NACL Folding option
