    Antec have the C8 and the C5 coming... now the C3 IS COMING TOO

    Love the layout of that case - not sure about the aesthetics of the F1 grill on the front, but the airflow and cable management looks amazing.

    Thermal paste on CPU PINs

    Is it worth using a bit of isopropyl as well, just in case there is still a thin film you can't see? I suppose you are only really worried about shorting between pins, but still - belt and braces.

    3D Mark announces Steel Nomad benchmark, replaces Timespy

    It's nice to see a replacement for Timespy at last. Be good to see something new beat up my graphics card in a dark alley while I try to convince myself it's time to upgrade.

    Tron themed wall build.

    Oh no - I guess he'll never know :D:eek: But so far it has been brilliant - mounting it on the telescopic TV arms has proved to be a life saver, would have been a real pain if I couldn't easily access the rear.

    Help with Network setup

    Ours is (was) a new build, and even the few meters from the router to the PC (on the same ring main) lead to unusable speeds unfortunately. The most annoying thing is I looked at getting the Access Point version of the TP-Link, but it is based on mesh, which is, apparently, aweful for what I'm...

    Assetto Corsa on Rift S

    Been using CM transforms and it has indeed "transformed" my experience... [coat]. Fixed the sound issue - think it just needed a good, strong reboot. One thing I have done that has revolutionized my life (for people starting for the first time) - I mapped start race, restart race, and exit race...

    Help with Network setup

    I currently have sky fibre, and am using their box in the house. I am trying to get access in the garage, where the signal sits at about 1-2 bars. I picked up a TP-Link AX1500 Wi-Fi router to use as a wifi 6 access point, primarily to use my Quest 3 with the PC in the garage using airlink. I...

    Steam remote play in VR (VR screen, rather than full)

    Finally had a chance to give this a try. I picked up a Quest 3. I'm streaming BG3 from my main PC, onto an old Dell Lattitude 2-in-1. Then using Meta's free Remote Desktop viewer to see the laptop as a big AR screen floating behind the laptop. I can still see and use the keyboard, but have a...

    VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

    I had stumbled across those, and will probably have a go at some point. The biggest issue (of the long shopping list of issues) is the bulk - they really are an either/or with any other sort of controller. Using the HOTAS, they will just be in the way unfortunately. I've seen a few ideas that...

    VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

    Brilliant - thanks - I knew there'd be a specialist forum out there somewhere :)

    VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

    I've picked up a Quest 3, which has pretty decent hand tracking built into it. Has anyone tried it in DCS? Be nice to be able to interact with the cockpit without having to pick up a controller. That said, the HOTAS setup seem to have everything needed on stick and throttle, so I guess if I can...

    Assetto Corsa on Rift S

    Will double check, it was coming through the Rift in the menus so assumed it was set. Need to download CM - found a nice site that also has a load of content available free too, so seems like a worthwhile option.

    Assetto Corsa on Rift S

    I've just acquired a G29/pedals/Seat and have been playing with Assetto Corsa on my Rift S. Getting it all set up was particularly unpleasant, but I have got most of it working now. I just have one last niggle - the sound only plays in the menu, not when it goes "full VR" when you begin the race...

    Quest 3 accessories thread

    I've just ordered the S3 (back order unfortunately - should be here in a week or 2.) Has anyone been stung with import duty on them? Which case works best with the larger halos? I did watch the post on case reviews - I liked the last one he suggested - any others?

    Water chiller project

    Are you looking for peek performance or just something different? Back in the XP-m days I ran a Vapochill on the CPU and a chiller on the GFX card - it was great fun so I definitely recommend it! However, chillers are always a tricky one as the can struggle with loads - not a problem if you are...

    VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

    I really like that homebrew pointctrl, especially at that price. You weren't kidding about the price on the Captoglove - way beyond the price I'm looking for. I have found a few home build options which might make amusing projects - or I'll wait for the Quest Pro to come down in price and grab...

    VR Gloves (NOT haptic)

    I'm planning to get into DCS in VR, initially to have a play with the Warthog. I managed to pick up the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog controllers and noticed that the Warthog DLC has glove support. Ideally I would like to play using VR, the Stick/throttle combo, and my hands. I'm not fussed about...

    Naughty AMD. 5700

    Shows how little attention I have been paying - I always assumed 'X' was AMD's version of K. Guess it really has been a while since I actually bothered to OC a chip - haven't even used the Tuner app on my latest :(

    Was it worth a delid?

    Maybe power down the machine before delidding :p

    Naughty AMD. 5700

    I, absolutely, would have assumed this was simply not "unlocked", and given how little I actually overclock manually any more, it would seem a sensible option to save a few quid - would have been very disappointed - definitely feels like a scam. If however, this turned out to be an old-skool...
