I'm considering Snake-ing up this year.. Colleague at work tied my tie around my head and everyone screamed like little bitches about how Snake I looked. Then whenever I walked up to people I got played the exclamation sound you get when someone spots you.

Ha! My work connection is slower than my home connection and I work for Satan. You think he'd hook us up.

I would if it wasn't for "cameo appearance". Makes me feel special... Although you did kill the thread, so.. thanks.. thanks Mass. I thought we were friends. Now I'm just typing on my incredibly expensive and awesome PC, rather than typing AND bragging. -
Never played Diablo before but I'm really looking forward to this. If it's as good as I'm thinking it'll be (and I've got some pretty Diablo fanboy/girly friends) then I'll probably get hold of the old ones too.

OBVIOUSLY I DON'T FOLLOW BIOSHOCK!! IT'S SHITE!! Pretty sure I'd know the name by now if I did. You're the biggest cunt on the internet. And your caps lock is broken, moron. Why do you play GTA? Is it because YOU LIKE TO HIT PEDZ WITH CARS AT HIGH SPEED AND BECOZ THE GUNS ARE COOL? DO YOU MISS MODDING CARS CAUSE MODDING CARS IS COOL? Dick.

Just to temporarily re-rail, I installed an SSD, up'd the GPU core to 950, mem clock a little lower (still fiddling) and the CPU is at 4.5 atm, rather than 4.6. I just bumped it up to 4.5 quickly when I fresh installed Win7. It'll run 4.5 without any tweaking. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3400741;jsessionid=p5ed0u043qveuc4kgvcerpxw Previous best. http://3dmark.com/3dm11/3215380;jsessionid=jai6yx7x9qmn1o5nkmy47ct9j Side by side: http://3dmark.com/compare/3dm11/3400741/3dm11/3215380 -

Moved to ATI, he's been running Nvidia for the past few years. 7950, Ivy i7, GB Z77 and an Alienware M14x are his last few purchases in no order.. dudes got too much money. If you decided you want the 6850 I've got the Asus EAH6850 you can have for £90, unless you find one cheaper elsewhere, in which case I'll give it to you for that. I need £££ for an SSD. Lovely card, I used it for about a week before I got the 580 and it handled everything I threw at it. I have got someone else wanting it but he wants it for £60, which ain't happening. So unless he budges up to £90 I'll save it until you check what Cy's said above. Also, PSU wise, I've got an OCZ 550W that is handling a 25/7 OC'd system.. Sandy i5 at 4.6GHz and the 580 at 950mhz. So, there's a review for that PSU. Not too expensive either. Google says the board is for the Dell 545/545S, that what you've got Indy? -

Not bad at all, considering I got the 580 for £200 off of a friend of mine who pretty much rebuilds whenever something he likes comes along. -
I seriously have no words, but one. UNF!

Fuck, are the pics still not working? I'll Imgur them, they work fine from mine and work though. http://i.imgur.com/xOQxM.jpg http://i.imgur.com/zxiyu.jpg I don't like to think about it, Indy. About £650, including £130 for a monitor. Pie - Sound card and DVD drive are coming out of this month's pay. Just moved house this weekend so, priorities. Saying that I've no complaints from the on board sound at the moment. For gaming at least. Massy, Selpy - Thanks. Holy fuck, it's Selpy! -
Nigga, I said that three hours ago. I haven't installed Fallout yet, thus I do not go in topics that aren't Skyrim. SKYRIM! Ha! It does actually. Awesome.

Hey hey hey... Any luck Cyantist? I'm finished my build now. Overclocked the i5 to 4.6GHz for my "24/7 overclock", Corsair H60 cooler in push/pull, the Phantom is at 920MHz on the Core, 2010MHz on the Memory Clock. (On the 550W PSU! Stable too!) Pics below. The 2P is for a friend who needed a reference. Sorry the images look like shit, Facebook shat on them. I'll take some with my D40 soon. -
It is Dishonored. Looks fucking amazing. Anyway, finished my PC and installed modz... now, Death Star Moon.

No no.. He can't find his way to the 7,000 steps... That's even worse! The quest markers don't exactly point you to a place, they go as the crow flies, so any one who can't be bothered to get their map out every now and then is fucked... Skyrim's lost on so many people. Also, has anyone who plays on PC got Warzones - Civil Unrest? I installed it at about 12 am last night so I haven't had a chance to play yet, but I'm excited. I've got JaySuS' swords and Dragonbone swords too, so I'm heading out to kill ALL OF THE STORMCLOAKS!

Got this running on my new PC on a temporary GPU (6850, 580 gets here Wed or Thurs) and I'm shocked to say it runs on ultra with the 6850. Loaded up with some mods and a good ENB, I'm still in shock while I play it. It feels so good to run around and feel so much more immersed in the game than I have before. I love it. I can't wait to install this when the new graphics card comes... then I'll be the one coming!

Mini update on the first post btw. I've looked at the Corsair H100 a couple of times, but I'm not sure... I'm edging towards the Antec H2O 920 set up with 2 1850RPM Gentle Typhoon's. Really? What mobo & mem are you running? -

Asthenia replied to Asthenia's topic in Geek Central
Oh god no, not on air. I'm not fully water cooling it either though, you know the Antec Kuhler kits? I think there's another brand that does them better too, but my mind is blank. I'ma put the processor on that. Nope, it was brand new, on offer at the time. It does suck cause it was like my own Moby's "My First Motherboard", so it being a dud cut me like a wicked edge... All working at the moment though, just reinstalling Windows for a 3rd time.. Nothing wrong with the previous installs, just finding a happy base for the partitions. -

Howdy! Haven't had a chance to get on properly. Yep, exactly what I'm thinking, Cyan & Dup. The PSU just isn't appropriate for what I wanna do with it now. Pie, no I'm not, but I will be ordering more from them so I'll sign up.. Is it the same sorta deal they had with AVForums (I think it was AVF), where you have to post a certain amount before getting it? Thanks for the tip. -

Hello fellow humans, So recently I've been thinking - I'm a cocky smart ass, why haven't I built a PC yet? I bet I could do that shit, I joined a Service Desk supporting 4500 staff with no prior experience (aside from being a cocky smart ass who knows computers like the shaft of my cock and learns faster than you can say "say, do you know...") and now I'm one of the favourites on the team, I can do anything! And now here I am, typing away hoping you'll pay attention. It all started last year, I bought a case on a whim, cause I thought it was pretty. The Fractal Design R3, which I'll post pictures of below. It ended up getting a few cosmetic scratches while in storage when I didn't have enough money to build into it, but nothing I can't polish out with a little love. The build as of right now, is waiting for me to get paid on Thursday next week (April 5th), and to meet up with a friend to get my GPU on Friday. This started out as a "I'll build something cheap" build that has spiralled into something beautiful. Initially I was looking at a locked i5 and a GPU along the lines of a GTX 460. Yeah, that cheap. That'll also explain some of the components I'm working with, these will all be upgraded probably on or after the 5th, or the 6th of May. I'm in the process of moving into a new place too, so this is living alongside that. Side note - I'm at work right now and I finish in 10 minutes, all pictures will be updated with personal ones and thumbnails probably Monday! Case - Fractal Design R3 Black Pearl My colleague / friend offered me this for £40 when he moved to M-ATX. I took one look and got him the money out before even checking I could afford it. I love the style and the colour, and it's fucking enormous! It looks pretty warm inside there when it's closed up, but I'm not not a fucking moron. There's plenty of space for cooling and I've taken advantage. R3, empty inside R3, front R3, open front PSU - OCZ ZS-550W One of the cheap components I was talking about, this needs to be upgraded to at least 600 of a trusted brand, but for the sake of my future I'm looking at around 800/1000w. ZS-550W Motherboard - Asus P8Z68-V LX A good quality, budget LGA1155, Z68 motherboard. Great reviews, and Asus are trustworthy. LX Rear LX Processor Seat - Dem pins, mmm. Processor - Intel i5 2500K 3.3GHz Sandy Bridge - OEM The first person to ask "y didnt u get a i7, its wel much betta" has the pleasure of my fist in their cunt. Hyperthreading and 100 extra cycles? No thanks, I'm playing games, not processing video or folding! And the first person to ask "y dnt u w8 an get ivy burdge?" gets a reasonable explanation. I bought the 2500k before Intel announced April 29th for Ivy, and I want it now, not in a month. This way, I get to rip 4.8GHz out of it for gaming, and achieve 5GHz stable before selling it on to someone who will appreciate a cheap Sandy when Ivy comes along. This is the thing I've been most excited about since I decided on overclocking - the 2500K! Underside Topside Unboxing I ordered the OEM model, but Scan were out of stock so they sent me the retail version and I get to mount the stock cooler on my wall and giggle at how cute and small it is. Update - 06/04/12 So... My motherboard was a dud. When I bought it, I didn't open it all up and check it. Came to testing and the pins on the socket are fuuuucked. Only a couple of them, but bad enough not to POST. No way in fuck will OC'ers RMA it, they turn away pins and blame it on you. No biggie, sleep well sweet prince. Excuse to upgrade to a Z77.. But I need a mobo to test on! So I rushed out and bought a H67 board which came with an i3 2310 (I think), which I'll be selling for cheapsies... This means I can't OC for now but I don't have a cooler for the time being any way so that's fine, I'm using the cutesy Intel cooler at the moment. Onwards... Memory - Crucial Ballistix Sport, 8GB (2x4), 9-9-9-24, 1600mhz Ramory This is another aspect of the build that was bought for the low spec machine. I'll definitely be upgrading in the near future (when I sell stuff I'll put it up on here first to see if any one's interested)... It's great RAM and I like it so far, but I fancy lower timings and I don't wanna play about with it... that said, I'm gonna run it for a couple of months and see how it goes. GPU - Gainward GTX 580 Phantom, 1536MB (1.5gb) What else do I need to say? I get it on Wednesday, sitting on an AMD HD6850 in the machine at the moment, it was on offer so I had to... So fucking excited to get the 580. Such a nice looking card too. -
Pretty much yeah, both my and my bud had him stalking us and UESP filled us in It's cool.. The World Eater has no time for sleep. Fin kelle prodah, Alduin, rok fent praan...

Alduin is scripted to appear, ressurect dragons, etc.. That way he's not just an antagonist that appears a couple of times in the whole game..
