    One day it was bound to happen

    It only happens once then you buy something better to paint from than an open tin, I use the ‘Harris Handy holds’ but there are much fancier ones pro’s use!

    Views on Shed Value for money

    I’m firmly in the you get what you pay for camp. I bought a Beast shed, they deliver and install it, I did the base and guttering. I think it’s more solid than some of my house :) http://www.beastsheds.co.uk/

    Downlighting advice

    Aurora do smart downlights too, I have them along with their smart dimmer, they would be a straight swap. https://aone.auroralighting.com/ProductDetails/AU-A1ZBMPRO1ZX You will need a hub, I use SmartThings atm.

    Air Source Heat Pump Questions...

    I installed an ASHP in my 1880’s built house in 2014 with a mix of radiators and UFH during a complete renovation. Insulation is important but some of the horror stories are a mixture of bad installs, bad quality units and people not knowing how they should be run, so literally worst case...

    Unpleasant smell when washing machine starts and clears the drain pipe.

    That’s some interesting plumbing and I’d be pretty certain that’s the reason for the smell. It should have a drop and the U-Bend should be below all of the inlets. like this: https://www.jtmplumbing.co.uk/pipe-fittings-c433/mcalpine-traps-c138/mcalpine-kitchen-sink-waste-packs-p7580

    Car stolen now recovered - insurance options - am i being fobbed off??

    It’s not going to be recorded anywhere if the Insurance company don’t write it off. Think you’ve been given some bad advice by that garage. If it’s undamaged get it back and forget about it or sell it on.

    Wren kitchens?

    I wont ever buy from anywhere that doesn't give me a good price first try, Wren were a joke, as were Magnet and Howdens. Hence I used DIYKitchens and put the cabinets in myself. 6 years later and people still ask me who made them and don't believe how little it cost. If you really need them...

    30xx Series Founders Edition

    I don't see how this was even possible, I had refreshes on the FE store and the Competitors link, never saw a Buy now button.

    30xx Series Founders Edition

    Having no luck with the FE (5am f5 crew!) which I would have preferred I managed to snag a 3080 from a competitor at 16:49 yesterday. Yodel just dropped it off. Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?

    Under counter bin

    Just noticed the link above was the same :) - echo'd! Had ours for 3 years and its still in great shape, the lid closes as you shut it so stops most smells.

    X299 binned and delidded CPU's now available. Along with 8Pack Elite Tier bundles.

    @8 Pack - any news? I'm still using the stock replacement CPU i bought, an RMA CPU was sent to me but I don't want to risk another de-lidded one at this point.

    @8pack any news? I got an email on Monday saying it was being sent to the manufacturer? Which seems odd! /David

    X299 binned and delidded CPU's now available. Along with 8Pack Elite Tier bundles.

    I'll check after work, but its almost an immediate reboot followed either by BIOS safe mode or just a complete hang until I pull the plug. I wasn't expecting 4500, but I thought 4000 would be doable :( - I wish I'd waited for the OCF now but thems the breaks.

    X299 binned and delidded CPU's now available. Along with 8Pack Elite Tier bundles.

    Hey 8pack, I was wondering if you can share a BIOS profile for the X299 Strix Gaming for the parts I bought? I bought the 5Ghz 7740x, 16GB of c14 3200 8pack RAM and that motherboard but I just cant seem to reliably hit the advertised speeds. Temps are fine - 61deg under gaming load, I haven't...
