    Thanks again EsaT. I've changed to that cooler and spent a bit more on a case. Just placed my order now :)

    1k gaming rig

    Hey guys, The rig I purchased in 2013 is starting to show its age so looking for a totally new system. I'm really out of the loop in terms of what's decent nowadays so I'd appreciate peoples' thoughts on the following spec: My basket at Overclockers UK: 1 x Team Group Vulcan TUF Gaming...

    Catch all email address for potential spam - Anyone else do this?

    I do something similar with my gmail account. If you prefix the username part of the address with "+" then it'll still be delivered to your inbox (e.g. [email protected]). It's a feature of the protocol so most email providers support this. However some sites won't recognise anything...

    I was very surprised to hear 10% so looked around and found recent research that suggests it's actually closer to 2%.

    That was pretty tragic really. One greedy purchase and bam, out of the tournament.

    *** Official Dota 2 Thread ***

    I imagine it'll be awful with a fresh account but after a while you'll just encounter the odd moron. There's a concept of being put into a low priority queue after being reported enough times which seems to help keep a lid on things. Community aside, it's a brilliant game.

    1.6 still feels nicer to me. Such a tight FPS.

    Hearts of Iron 4

    Is this for your 1950 game? I imagine the USA has an insane amount of divisions at this point so you're gonna struggle getting a foothold on the coast. You could try invading via Mexico to relieve the pressure or invade the West Coast via Japan assuming they've captured Pearl Harbour. I've...

    Upgrade advice

    Haha. I don't delve into this area of the forum often and it has been quite an experience. I have tried to get a feel for things but nothing stands out as providing best bang for buck in that price range. Like I said the 970 looks nice but its age and driver support in the future concerns me a...

    Upgrade advice

    Hey I've been meaning to upgrade my graphics card for a while now and was waiting for the RX 480 to be released. It looks pretty decent for the price but the price wasn't exactly my only deciding factor and I guess I was expecting the 480 to be a bit nippier. I'm willing to spend around £250...

    Bit of a **** move nonetheless. Just makes us who saw the original price feel like mugs.
