    Sanity check before BIOS update

    Thanks for the input. Did a), all good. Just got to fit new cpu at some point, after I figure out where the thermal paste is! The only reason I did the bare board method previously was because the pc would power on but wouldn't boot, I don't think it would even recognise the cpu, so the only...

    Sanity check before BIOS update

    Current CPU and mobo: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and MSI X570-A Pro When I built this system it wouldn't boot and stayed stuck on black screen. The motherboard needed a BIOS update to recognise the cpu and did so by disconnecting everything, bare board, and used a ROM file on a USB stick, plugged into...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Van Tam, April 3rd 2020: "...wearing of face masks by the general public, this has been a controversial area in pandemic preparedness and planning for the 15 years that I've been involved in it. [referring to his friend who was compiling the report on masks for the WHO] we're of the same mind...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Again, here's what you put: "Its the people who didn't get the vaccine who are causing the extra loss of life and extra harm." Maybe you meant to say "Its the people who didn't get the vaccine who were also infectious...", but you didn't. Try taking responsibility for what you said and the...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    I didn't call the benefits vile nonsense, I specifically referenced this sentence that you wrote: "Its the people who didn't get the vaccine who are causing the extra loss of life and extra harm." You have literally, and falsely, asserted that "unvaccinated = infectious" while simultaneously...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Person X is vaccinated, tests positive, has symptoms, 100% infectious. Person Y is unvaccinated, tests negative, has no symptoms, virus free, 0% infectious. According to you, Person Y is more likely to spread the virus....?

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    Good god, are people still spouting this vile nonsense? It's INFECTIOUS people not taking precautions while symptomatic causing problems, vaccination status is irrelevant.

    Pre WSAD & Mouse gaming

    I remember using QAOP & the spacebar before rising to the heady heights of Quickshot II joystick gaming.

    Two drives gone kaput - quick fix?

    I did the latest Windows 11 update V22H2 on Monday, shutdown as usual. Didn't switch on the pc at all yesterday, fired it up today to find two internal 3.5" sata drives have lost all data - both were formatted with NTFS and now displaying as RAW, inaccessible to file explorer, all data 'gone'...

    COVID-19 (Coronavirus) discussion

    I'm unvaccinated and 'avoided' the virus until early April this year. Without testing positive for a week I wouldn't have known I had it. Incredible isn't it?

    5600X idle temps 'issue'

    Thought I'd post an update to this. I bit the bullet and bought an Arctic Liquid Freezer II 240mm. The only stumbling block was the cooler, or rather the radiator, wouldn't fit nicely in my Antec P193 case, so I upgraded to a Fractal Design Define R6. It now sits idling at 32-37 degC, but...

    Marvel Studios Loki

    In episode 4 where Hunter B-15 is in the corridor having "a moment" and the camera pans in to the poster on the wall, there's a man's face. I instantly thought it was a certain someone, and my wife made the same connection:

    Pentagon releases UFO footage

    The "pyramid UFO/UAP" can be explained just as easily, as Mick West does in this video: It's just mind-boggling how easily some people are led down the metaphorical rabbit hole.

    Anyone deal with arachnophobia? NO Pictures of Spiders unless in spoiler tags.

    I wouldn't say I'm scared of spiders, but I have no love for them either and I will do my best to carefully relocate any that I come across. A few weeks back I woke up on the floor next to the bed. I'd fallen out and managed to hit my head on the bedside cabinet. The missus had woken up and...

    Clunking sound from rear of bike - any ideas?

    I thought I should update this thread: As a last ditch attempt I found an identical replacement for the rear cassette (I noticed in my original post that I said I'd replaced it, but I meant the rear derailleur - not the geared sprockets). It took a serious amount of effort to remove the old...

    Pentagon releases UFO footage

    I wouldn't trust anyone who has to invoke magic, the supernatural or breaking the laws of physics to explain an event, over anyone who can demonstrate beyond any reasonable doubt that these events are mundane and easily explained by highlighting ignorance and/or technical incompetence regardless...

    Pentagon releases UFO footage

    If you're familiar with the green flying pyramid UFO footage then you'll see how it is clearly just out of focus footage of a plane's flashing navigation light. The triangular effect is easily created by adjusting the focus of a lens. This is basic stuff, sensationalised by people who want to...

    5600X idle temps 'issue'

    The Noctua has been on it since day one so I can't say how it compares to the stock cooler. Here's a typical scenario - switch on, Core Temp in system tray shows 32 across all cores while doing some internet stuff, news, emails, etc. I come back to it a while later and temps have risen to 47...

    5600X idle temps 'issue'

    I wasn't sure which thread to put this in, but it is cooling related so... Recently upgraded to a Ryzen 5 5600X with a Noctua NH-L9x65 SE-AM4 cooler and set the power profile to 'balanced' as per recommendations. It was happily sitting at idle temps of 32 degC until a week or so ago. Now, when...
