On Ulfheonar. Fire Strike - 25487, Legendary :D Time Spy - 10561, Good :) A slight improvement on my previous score 😁

I know, I know, on the carpet is terrible. I have further plans afoot to completely resolve both the carpet and the door issues. I'm the only one who lives here now, so I know not to throw the door open. Temporary measures are now in place until my plan comes together, just in case, for both...

Ah, you've never come across the rolling method either then. Sorry about the initial ad I use this way, but standing at the foot of my bed. Roll up some, drag it down, roll some more, etc. Then just some vigorous shaking to get it unrolled, after unrolling the first foot :D There are several...

Here are a few, with the last one for @AgentCooper, to show my cable management :) There is one loose cable, it's just long enough to go where it needs to, no slack to detour out of sight. I haven't decided where to put my wi-fi antenna yet, that has quite a short cable too. So it's stuck on top...

It keeps itself warm enough without 😃 It isn't horrendous, and I'll hide the rest 😃

YES! 😁 It arrived on Tuesday afternoon, specs in my sig', bottom of my posts. I've now, more or less, got to grips with Windows 11. Got everything swapped over from old PC to new. Downloaded updates, programs I want and games. Photo's of the new PC, with benchmark results, tomorrow 😃

I left the army in March '91. I'd been abroad since November '81. We, me, my wife and 6 month old daughter, were sent from the UK to Cyprus, where we lived for 2.5 years. Man, that was a hard tour :D I became a qualified RYA Windsurfing Instructor, with open sea (as against inland water) and...

Ah, yes, a bit more expensive than the other broadband providers. But then you pay BT as well, for the use of their wires, so in total, there's next to nothing in it. When I came back to Britain and got a house, I wanted a telephone line. I had to pay a £200 deposit to BT, because I'd been...

It's a pity they didn't learn about the 'rolling' method of fitting duvet covers. A bit late for that now I expect 😊

It wasn't so much the 4g/5g idea, that seems quite a good idea. 5g, on my phone at least, seems almost as quick as wired broadband. Although, as you say, if there's a major power outage, possibly neither of them will work, mind you, neither will my computer. No, it was using EE again that I...

It seems to be a fantastic upgrade over my retired setup. Although I'd be rather hacked off if it wasn't tbf 😊 This wide screen is amazing after a 22" 😂 I already had a busy week this week, so sorting everything out is going rather slower than I'd like. W11 is taking a bit of getting used to as...

And we appear to be cooking with gas. Ladies and Gentlemen, I give to you, Ulfheonar. It is alive 😆

They do indeed. My deepest apologies for doubting you sir. I now have 14 pins inserted in 14 holes, 6 + 6 + 2. It took some time, the last 8 pin socket on my PSU was in the inside column. So to get to it I had to remove quite a few plugs, then get them back in again. Not easy with 2 left hands.

Ok. My dinner is in the oven, burning. Be back asap with results

Sorry, no. The 2 pin has extra tags as part of the molding. They won't fit into the 8 pin sockets.

Ooh, I have a spare 6 pin +2 PCIe. Which end of the 8 does it go to? 2 extra holes at the right? So 6 + 6 right beside each other? Or 6 space 6? Your pic looks like 6 + 6 then space.

Definitely no 8 pin cables. A spare 6 pin PCIe +2, and a 6 pin to 3 x daisy chained 4 pin SSD power plugs. A visit to Curry's tomorrow then 😥

Aaah ! I'll have a look in the back again, but I don't think there's an 8 pin plug in there. I had a look earlier, in case the PCIe cable left out in the front wasn't plugged into the PSU. As far as I can see, it is. There doesn't appear to be a spare 8 pin port on the PSU either, a couple of 6...

Well it's here, unpacked, evga Nvidia 2070 Super installed, monitor set up, plugs all in. I think that's it. Switched on at the wall, switched on at the back. Press the power button, wow RGB 😁 Look at the monitor, aha switch that on too 🙄 Yup, little white led, Gigabyte logo, DP input ? Screen...

I'm wondering if anyone will start making a short extension power cable, pre bent, or with a 90 degree plug on it. With the 4090 being quite a wide gpu, and the power socket being on the outside edge, pointing straight out, this seems like an accident waiting to happen.
