Oh man, while Avexir stuff is shiny as all hell (pretty sure dave gave it a review too), isn't it crazy expensive?

Also, you still down for karting + paintballing for my birthday? Package is £50 per person, probably do it on the 19th August. Let me know.

In other news, since I moved house and I have ONLY changed my address with three people, I was confused about getting marketing crap through the post. I changed my address with EE, Natwest and obviously the council for council tax. Now I know the council don't sell information, but I got a letter through from "Generic Credit Card Company". So either Natwest or EE have sold my bloody data!

letting agent/ sales agent probably.
EE keep their marketing in house. High St banks are regulated against 3rd party marketing unless you have neglected to tick/untick a marketing box.

In other news, got a 50 % full load stable o/c on my Xeon x5650

the Avexir's aint too bad - basically its about £60 per 8GB(2x4) kit before shipping. Im paying about £130 for 16GB plus shipping. The only real problem is only OCuK sell it so cheap and its its overpriced as fuck on ebay, its going for £20-30 more per kit on ebay.

as for your birthday, you can put me down for that. I am a paintball veteran though we're gonna need to work out a deal on a box of 3000 paintballs to save some cash

Guessing OCUK have the UK's supply nailed down. They look super pretty though, and perform like beasts.

Need to get numbers sorted, so I can call up and book the event. You're welcome to get the train to my house and we'll drive down together, I'm sure partner won't mind you using the spare room overnight either. As it stands it's looking to be me, you, partner, plus David and Brad. May go out for drinks/food afterward, who knows.

Either live too far away or simply not the types

 

[FreedomEclipse]

its ok - youre not asking them to come live with you! just to party down for a day lol

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Put in an order for the Avexir rams - probs gonna arrive tuesday

 

[FreedomEclipse]

On second thoughts.... those Avexir kits are insanely cheap! - Heres a 1866mhz Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB(4x2) kit going for £88 on amazon - and thats supposed to be classed as 'cheap'

I bought the 2400mhz Avexir kit as it was slightly cheaper than the 1866mhz kit. 1600mhz kits are £50 or £55'ish after P&P for an 8GB (2x4) kit.

Load up while you can!!

Sorry, lost my key to the clubhouse - been living in the garden throwing random posts at random threads.

And you have me pegged all wrong . I'll not buy a 390X obviously (it's a 290X wearing a new dress) but I will wait for Fury X (or whatever the poop it's called). I already know any Nvidia I buy will be a Classy 980ti so i need to wait for the waterblock confirmation's anyway. But if Fury X is as good as the hoardes of AMD chappies believe it'll be, I may go for that. But again, I'll need a block for that too, to slot in my loop. Either way - I need to wait way past June...

I don't think its going to be better than 980Ti. At most maybe competitive.

I don't see how it could possibly be such a massive jump over Hawaii myself but hey - lots of brand loyal people swear it'll be most awesome. I'll wait and see and poke fun at whichever team loses

Always good to be optimisitic

For many, I think TDP will be a major deciding factor. More people seem to be more 'aware' of energy efficiency these days and the TDP of the 290X put quite a lot people off especially when 970s offer the same or almost/around the same performance for a lot lower TDP. Folks might see the 390X and think better money would be spent on a 980Ti to save having the repo men breaching their doors with C4 when they have trouble paying their electricity bills

---At least this is the case for me. While i only contribute to bills where i live, it doesnt make me any less self conscious when trying to find out how much power i personally use.

TDP also measures the amount of heat you have to dissipate. For people living in hotter climates, it becomes a double whammy: spending power to run the card, and then to cool the room.

Whats cooler then being cool?

Just curious - does anyone have an unwanted 4G supported android phone they'd be willing to part with for cheap or know of someone who does? Im looking to pay under £50.

It doesnt need to be in the best of condition either. Dont need original accessories, cables or charger - just the handset itself!

 

[CAPSLOCKSTUCK]

I need to do a swapsie,

i need 3 blue SATA cables pref shorter than 500mm
i will swap for 3 red ones and will pay both p+p. I can Paypal the postage costs

I dont really want to buy new ones as i am Welsh

alternatively i have heard of a spray coating that is used in case modding that can/may be used on cables though i cant find it, anyone heard of it or a product name?
