Far too many people are short sighted. Ideas that were once considered are now outright dismissed with no proper thought. Yet those people dismissing something are the very ones who are short sighted.

Very philosophical tonight Ket

I think its crazy there was such a race to get to the moon then that was it, e-penis stunt done (assuming it was for real). I want to see the first man on Mars FFS!

Anyways, thats getting off topic, lol.

 

[Ketxxx]

Not at all. I'm always in deep though. The problem is that I tend not to express my thoughts as there are far too many narrow minded people who do not / will not / refuse to understand something well thought out or a different idea in general. Either because they don't fully understand the mechanics of the idea, or because they wern't the first to think of / consider / say it.

Anyway, back to Mars. Its entirely possible we could land there somewhen in 202x All it takes is for Nasa to get thair lazy arses in gear, the ESA to get more money, and Russia in their typical style just to think "fuck it, throw a few cosmonauts in a metal tube" The Russians make me proud. Their the only people left on this planet who still have their balls attached and are willing to take some risks for potentially massive gains. NASA and the ESA on the other hand, think venturing into space and other planets should be as safe as stepping out into your own back garden

My p5q-e does,shame no.3 is 4x though.The best combo is x8/x8/x4.

My M3A79-T Deluxe has 4 PCI-e slots; 16x16x - 16x8x8x or 8x8x8x8x.


I doubt I'd ever use them all though....unless I get another 4xxx card to slap in with my 4870's.

 

[Ketxxx]

Your a dirty, dirty man running a Phen 2 and bringing it up in this club of all clubs! *sneers at aCid*

 

[aCid888*]

Gotta support both camps.


Value for money, ket, value for money!

 

[Ketxxx]

Value for money = buy ATi

 

[aCid888*]

Value for money isn't just in the form of GPUs from ATI/AMD, it also comes in the form of AMD's PII lineup....very nice price on mobo/CPU package and the value is great.

 

[Ketxxx]

My intel setup cost more than your AM-Poo setup

 

[MoonPig]

ATi is better value than nVidia, and you get similar/same performance.
AMD is cheaper, but it shows... lol.

*Please note, my last AMD rig was an AMD Turion 64 1.8GHz.

And i also sneer at Acid. P45 man! I'm in here and my P45 doesn't even work!

Oh, had an idea. Anyone want to raid a RM van? I fancy insuring my MIIF for £500 and posting it, then getting it stole (Like writing "This is worth £500" on the box), then claiming insurance. lol.

 

[alexp999]

Dont suppose you can claim on accidental damage on your families contents insurance?

 

[MoonPig]

I'll bring it up, but my Dad isn't being very supportive of me.

Oh, funny news. Got two emails from OcUK. I sent them one on Sunday saying i want a reply or i'm talking to trading standards. They've sent me two emails:

Dear Sir,

The board has quiet clearly been damaged as such all warranty upon the board is no void, No where in the sales of goods act does it say that we much replace goods that have been damaged by the customer as such no refund or replacement will be offered.

No, i havn't copied the same email twice. And no, i havn't edited them at all. I think it's trading standards time.

Oh, and i found the screen shot of everest showing my NB at 85c. Yey.

 

[alexp999]

Sweet thats your proof.

I find it really funny how they're automated repsonses have typos.

That also constitutes an inpersonal and unhelpful post as they have sent you the same thing twice.

Definetly Trading Standards time. Probably part of their normal working day, having to fight with OcUK

You just need to reiterate the point with them that it was working fine in terms of the CPU when you sent it off. And now it wont work at all because the pins are damaged.

All you sent it off for was the sound and overheating then it comes back with bent pins. TW@s!

 

[MoonPig]

But i said in the RMA request that my computer wouldn't boot one day...

 

[alexp999]

Yeah but if CPU pins are broke it would never boot. It would be consistent.

 

[MoonPig]

True. Ok, after the Win7 RC has downloaded, i'll send them an email.

 

[Deleted member 24505]

The problem is,its going to be impossible to prove they broke the pin,and impossible to refute(is this a real word? lol) their claim that they recieved it with the pin broken.I'm on your side moonpig,but you have to look at it realistically.They will just stick to the story that they recieved it broken,and you will say it was'nt....stalemate.Imo just fuck ocuk off and get another board,a shitter i know,but i dont see any other option.

 

[Ketxxx]

You may also find it useful doing some reading on the financial ombudsman website. Oh and I'm off into town in a hour or 2 to transfer you the funds moon, you better ship that 4830

 

[MoonPig]

It's already been posted. lol.

Maybe not with the Socket, but i have a screenshot of the NB being at 85c. And theres a whole thread on here about it. That alone is enough.

 

[Ketxxx]

Ah ok I think both 4830s may turn up tomorrow I got a email from ebuyer, my replacement card has been shipped You might find it useful if its the case, to mention about the plastic pin guard 775 boards come with, if the board did not come with one of those in the beginning, it yet again makes OCuk entirely responsible as it was THEIR responsibility to the best of their ability to ensure the board did not get damaged in any way during shipping.

 

[MoonPig]

Can someone give me the email that i'm ment to use to contact TradingStandards? I on their site but i can't tell which one to use...

 

[alexp999]

This looks like the right channel:

No way! Don't let em off sounds like they need a besides maybe what your going through now will help future generations in their quest for decent customer service.

 

[Ketxxx]

^^ Yep that looks like the one to me as well. GL moon. If you can it may be worth storming down to OCuk yourself and having it out with them.

 

[MoonPig]

it's about 1:30 hours from my house... lol. Plus i don't drive... I'm 16...

I've sent a message to ConsumerDirect, had to edit my original message i wrote out in Word as it was 2006 characters too long... lol

 

[Ketxxx]

16? I thought you were 18
