Post A Picture of Your Last Purchase

Put the sealant "on the side of the IHS". Not between the IHS and the PCB.

The problem isn't only bad paste, but also the distance from the die to the IHS, due to the thickness of the glue.
 
A lot have happened. Destiny threw a used Strix X299-E Gaming at me, at 50% of new price.

So i am changing the Asrock X299E-ITX = need new ram.
Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4-3733 QC 16GB to the rescue.

My water RES will block the M.2 slot = Get a M.2 now = Samsung 970 EVO 500GB

And looking around used stuff i stumpled across a Phobya 400mm radiator + 2 180mm fans. So bought 2 EK quick disconnect fittings. Then i'm going to mount the 400mm RAD under the desk, and then just decouple it, and leve it, if i'm going to a lan party.

Along with the fittings, and a fan splitter i also ordered a monoblock.

Good idea, that way no one can see them :D

Yeah not sure if I like the knit or not. I've got a pair of Nike KD which are knit but only on the front end. They are very stretchy and comfy though, ideal for going into the sea.

I tried wet booties but they got torn to bits by the sharp sea floor. So every year I buy a pair of fake trainers from China and they get wet a lot lol.
 
Just picked up a mouse that has the potential to be pretty end-game for me... as i do not use a keyboard. Very pricey at $230, but got it today on Amazon with a coupon for $165-ish, including 4 year Squaretrade warranty.

8 keys for the index and pointer fingers. 6 of those having pressure sensitivity which allows 3 binds per key. Built in gyro, allowing binds to be set along axis, as well as a rocker mount for the mouse if you do a lot of vehicle sim play.

Being able to do things like ADS, Zoom/focus, and change DPI for a sniper shot, all on the same key is a godsend for someone like me that cant stand the contortions most people are used to on a keyboard.

I finally figured out why I was burning out coils in minutes. Basically they are designed for direct to lung, not puffing. So I kinda switched up how I vape now. Have just ordered some of this.

Strawberry jam donut. Had some a while ago, easily hands down the nicest tasting vape ever, second only to this.

So I got two Come Test Me (50ml) and a 100ml Choco. I am going to lower the nicotine soon. Well, as soon as I knock those up I will lower it.

Other stuff.. Got this in 1". Basically before it was powder coated in purple-blue flip they sand blasted it and the seat tube is full of sand, where it had some grease in it. If I put the lovely polished post in there it will totally ruin it.

Turn the bike upside down, put something under the back tyre and basically scrub it out with that and isoprop. Also got this too, after seeing the dude on BGT last night. Always liked the AD, so can rip this to wav.

True that, its hard to be in a bad mood when you're listening to garage

Yup. When this came out I had just got together with my first ex wife. 911 had not happened yet and we were sooo happy. Then it all kinda went tits up lol.

I am trying to find Pure Garage (as name) but it's like 8 quid for a CD :( I do want it though. I love that tune "With a little taste of angel dust". It reminds me of sitting in my room with my 18" subwoofer humming away haha.
 
Got a 1080 Ti for a smidgen under £400 from ebay, Perfect working condition, I put it in my 1800X rig :)

Ha! That's crazy. I sold my ASUS Fury Strix for €300 a few months ago. A 1080Ti is twice as powerful as the Fury. I should have sold my GTX 1080 as well for €700 and then bought a 1080Ti now.
 
Got this for my Proper.

It hangs the straddle cable. I got a pair of these for the GT too, not liking the £60 worth I bought.

And a 18t top end freewheel.

And then, having just decorated my mother's spare room I bought her some pressies. Some net curtains.

That's me done being the perfect son, now it's time to raid her cupboards and drink all of her fizzy drinks :D
 
Why is it that whenever I see a PC steering wheel and pedal set inside my head goes "Vroom vroom ! WAAHHH WAHHHHH" I guess the kid in you never leaves :D
 
Had a good few months working my rear off so it's treat time.

New PCars time trials coming soon!

Congrats!

Although I think you will find using the gearshift paddles far easier and more efficient than the gear shift.

Gear shift however does shift faster than paddles from the game pov. When using paddles you will notice an extended period in Neutral. Master the shifter and you can save some sweet seconds for sure.
