Nice cable management! xP

So everything works now?

And this thread is now back on topic! lol

Thanks! It just goes to show just how many cables I really don't need on that PSU right now.

And yes, everything works. The processor runs idle at about 43 degrees right now. I only applied the AS5 this morning and booted it up lunch time, left it running all day. It started out at around 50 degrees but it dropped throughout the day. AS5 has a very long (official) set in period...

Isn't that PSU modular?

The TurboJet 1100W isn't modular, no

Oh, I thought you replaced it, lol.

And make it modular, modding style!

No, Overclockers UK just gave me a warranty replacement so it was the same model. It's a good PSU so I don't think I'll change it.

Ah, OK. Do you know what actually happened?

According to the RMA form it was a 'catastrophic explosion'

LOL, nice! Shame it wasn't more spectacular and recorded.

The motherboard was just listed as "fails POST", well, that's what I told them.

LOL, well if it doesn't work, it doesn't work, really.

Now you're kidding me.

No you aren't.

Well I was just saying there was no need for any extra explanation.

Steam is shit

Steam isn't shit... steam pwns

It is when u cant logn on to do a clan match becuase u hadnt logged in earlier ¬¬

Yeah, the updates can be annoying, especially when you need it. Could turn off automatic updates, aslong as the servers aren't updated when you try to play, it should be alright. It can take up to a week for some servers to update (they have to do it manually). Then all you do is update when you have time.

I think that should work, but don't hold me to it.

As far as updating, if you can't get on steam all the time, just subscribe to the Steam RSS feed and use that to know that "oh, i have to update now"

http://www.steampowered.com/rss.xml

That would probably be a good idea, but that RSS feed isn't updated straight away (there's an Ep2/Portal update that isn't on there, and no, it's not interesting, just a crash fix).

Portal dnt even work on here lol

LOL, well this was just a single crash fix for the 07 engine, I think.

I still think there are problems with the PC.

When playing Sims 2 or Crysis, the system will turn itself off after an indefinite amount of time. Either that or it will lock up completely. Strangely, I can play EverQuest 2 for hours without the system crashing, and Folding@Home runs 24x7 on the PC in multi-core mode. It leads me to believe that it is something to do with the graphics card. Good thing I am getting a new one very soon then.

Hmm, very strange. I would ask if the graphics card is getting enough power, but...

Could be a heat problem from the graphics card? Or a driver issue?

Heat stays well within reasonable boundaries!
It's more than likely a driver issue. Fedora doesn't have this problem because it can't find a graphics driver.

Well doesn't that mean it can't play at all so it's not really comparable?
