    Where did you get this from? My girlfriend loves it and wants a set!

    *** Elden Ring ***

    Radahn is an awful boss fight, probably the worst boss fight in any souls game that I've played. In the end I cheesed him by I've played about 35 hours and absolutely loving it. I changed from collosal swords to dual wielding great swords, but already looking forward to trying spells in a...

    Silent case for a hot & noisy setup (5900x and 3080)

    I think a custom fan curve in iCue was all I needed. This is how I have it set now: I played Far Cry 6 for ~10 minutes and the CPU fluctuated between 70 and 75 degrees (35% fan speed on the graph) and it was quiet enough for me. Fan #1 and Fan #2 went up to about 868 RPM: I was already...

    Silent case for a hot & noisy setup (5900x and 3080)

    Thank you for all the helpful responses. I think the issue is the AIO not getting enough air and the CPU being rather hot. Hwinfo shows the "Core Temperatures" at ~55 degrees and according to iCue the pump fan is running at 2900 RPM to achieve that. The GPU fan sits ~40% and if I manually...

    Silent case for a hot & noisy setup (5900x and 3080)

    I'm leaning towards Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL with lots of 140mm fans at lower RPM, as they should produce less noise?

    Far Cry 6

    Is anyone else getting regular crashes? Every 10 - 15 minutes the game freezes and crashes to desktop. I've also been noticing the framerate occasionally drops by around 20. It also feels like cut scenes (which are locked to 30 fps) stutter occasionally. Even with gsync it is noticable and...

    Silent case for a hot & noisy setup (5900x and 3080)

    My current build isn't even a year old and the thermals and noise bug me. NZXT H511 Case (same as H510 but with different usb ports?) CORSAIR HYDRO H115I RGB PRO XT AIO 5900X 3080 Founders Edition I replaced the fans that came with the case. Rear exhaust is now a "be quiet! Silent Wings 3...

    When are you going fully electric?

    After wanting one since 2019 I finally took the plunge and bought a Model 3. It's only the standard range model, but the performance is more than what I need, it has every feature you could want and with a home charger the range is sufficient (~180 miles?). It has the new LFP battery so will...

    *** The Car Cleaning Thread ***

    Apologies if this has been asked before, but what is the consensus on quick drying ceramic coating that can be applied by mobile valets? For example https://www.coatingfarm.com/product/aquacoat-pro-3-year/ has "2-5 hour air dried patented technology." A local mobile valet would do the following...

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    I would indeed consider other cars. I don't mind running costs of a £40k ICE car, if I love the car. 5k is just an estimate. For every year apart from 2020 it's been about 10k a year, but I expect it to drop due to my circumstances changing. It could easily be 10k again depending on if/when...

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    Camshaft sensor, EGR, rear light assembly because one LED went the whole lot assembly wouldn't work, leaking cam cover which caused smoke to pour out the engine bay at one point. It still has electrical issues where the battery doesn't always charge. That's all I can think of off the top of my head

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    Basically up to 40k if it ticks all the boxes. For example a Mercedes S350L AMG Line 2018 might have everything I'm looking for, and it's "only" £28k. I think the Mercedes might be a bit big though.

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    I did a little of this... Standard range Model 3 brand new is £40,990. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104101194910 Price £37,380 Vehicle registered: 12/11/2019 18 months old, lost £3,610 in value. 8.8% in 18 months. https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202104211642214...

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    I'm also worried about that. I work from home and my situation has changed recently, I'm not sure if my life and hobbies will return to normal once life is back to normal. Previous years it was ~10k but I estimate it'll be closer to 5k now, if that.

    Spec me a car, £20k - £40k. Tesla Model 3?

    I'm currently driving a 2012 Jaguar XF. I've owned it since November 2018 and it's let me down a few times, costing a few hundred in repairs every year. I believe everything is fixed now, but I've just lost faith in it. It's comfortable, but the sat nav is extremely out of date and it's missing...

    New toy: Some features: It passed the sock test: I have 3 cats and this tackles pet hair very well. It hasn't been tested with any cat mess, yet. Unfortunately there are 2 steps between the hallway and lounge, and between the lounge and office so it can't do all of downstairs but it's...

    Noisy NZXT H511 build

    The chipset fan appears to be fine. The pins are not bent and it does change speed. I unplugged the CPU fan and the 4000 RPM disappeared and it didn't make an audible difference. From a bit of Googling that appears to be the AIO pump speed? Unplugging that just allows the motherboard to get the...

    [HELP] x570 Chipset Fan running at 5000rpm 100% of the time, no matter the config on BIOS

    I'm having a problem with this too. The board explorer on the BIOS shows the Chipset fan is disconnected: I disconnected and reconnected it but that didn't fix it. For now I have disconnected it and keeping an eye on temperatures. Next plan is to either try and bend the pin back myself or...

    Yes it could be this. Thank you! Although according to the BIOS the chipset fan is only running at ~1400rpm:

    Noisy NZXT H511 build

    I have not tried removing fan 1 because I believe that is the CPU fan and it wouldn't boot without one being connected? I will try this evening though. The fan #1 is what I am hung up on though, why is that spinning at 4000rpm while idling? Based on research the temps seem OK for the specs in...
