    The PC Thread

    @Hughesy Just realised the temps I posted earlier were actually a bit off :p With my previous fans I had to tape a bit of clear plastic over the top half of the side window fan to stop it from making a weird annoying humming sound. With these having less blades and a lower RPM, the humming sound is gone so I just took off the plastic and my CPU temps dropped by 3 degrees :)  Sorry to keep posting about them lol, just pretty happy with how they're going :p

    Lmao :p Nah, unfortunately they don't do them in diarrhea brown dude ;) There's blue, red, black, or white.

    No worries bud :) What colour you gonna go for? They don't do green ones :(  One last test for you, with all fans running at 1200 RPM (still quieter than a single standard molex fan!).

    New fans and LED's are in and they're looking good! @Hughesy I said I'd tell you how they perform, and it's good! A lot quieter than my old fans (even though they were quiet!) Sitting here with just my PC on, it's barely louder than when my Xbox One is :) And I've done some idle/load temp comparisons below. Just need to bear in mind that the first 2 tests are with 3 of the old fans at 800 RPM, and 2 at 900 RPM, while the 3rd and 4th tests are with all new fans at 700 RPM, which is why the slight increase in temps I guess!

    Hughesy posted while I was writing mine, so I didn't see it.

    Weird man, I'd say Strikes are about perfect on difficulty. Not so hard that they can't be done, but hard enough to be a nice challenge. As for the farming cave, that was bound to be stopped anyway :p And tbh, I spent maybe an hour there and got nothing that was as good as my current gear, but 2 nights ago did 2 matches in The Crucible and walked away with a helmet and auto rifle that were wayyy better than the ones I went in with :)

    The PC Thread

    @Hughesy I'll have to have a look tomorrow bud, having a night off from gaming :p  Done some maths (which made my head hurt) and shifted money around into different accounts, and I've figured out I should have my GTX 980 on November 22nd :) And I've struck a deal with my brother. Gonna give him my GTX 770 in exchange for his R9 270X and write off the difference as his Christmas present. Then the R9 270X goes into my TV PV as it's more or less on the exact same level as the GTX 660 that would have gone in there. Plus my stepdad is actually really happy with the 660 and the games he plays (mostly older flight sims) don't need anything more intense than it. So hopefully it all works out!

    The PC Thread

    Well if either of you do experience it, enjoy it! Looks more fun the how the game plays normally. If they could separate that bug and turn it into a challenge mode then FIFA could be interesting to me again.

    @Hughesy Have you seen this bug @Hughesy‌  Good to hear about the wheel though, from the sounds of it it's gotta be a problem between the PC and wheel. http://www.game-debate.com/news/?news=14472&game=FIFA%2015&title=FIFA%2015%20PC%20Version%20Bug%20Has%20Every%20Player%20Running%20At%20The%20Ball%20-%20Video

    Just spent the last 15 mins reading the comments on this article, the Ricoh guy is an idiot. All of Steve's comments were brilliant. As much as I love my X1, I know it doesn't even compare to a good gaming rig. http://gamingbolt.com/pny-reveal-the-gtx-970-gtx-980

    I don't :p It rewards far too many points for a win, and gives DNF's and crashes way too high a chance of deciding who might win a WDC. For me, I'd go with something closer to this. 1st.   15 points. 2nd.  10 points 3rd.   8 points 4th.   7 points 5th.   6 points 6th.   5 points 7th.   4 points 8th.   3 points 9th.   2 points 10th. 1 point I think that's mathematically worse. I've picked up from other people to compare points to the winner's as a percentage, so the current one is: 25  -  18  -  15 -  12 -  10  - 8   -  6  -   4  -  2  - 1 100% 72% 60% 48% 40% 32% 24% 16% 8% 4% Yours gives: 15  -  10 -   8  -  7  -   6  -  5  -   4  -  3  -   2  -  1 100% 67% 53% 47% 40% 33% 27% 20% 13% 7% So it benefits lower scores more relatively, but less for 2nd - 5th places. True, when you do it on percentages it isn't so great. But the reason I'd prefer that is that 7 points covers the top 3, instead of the current 10. And like @Chadwick8505 said, 7 points over 2nd is a big bonus, and it really penalises a retirement. Gonna do another table in a minute of this years WDC so far with my points system. Edit: This is with my points.

    That's technology for you dude :p I've been in the same boat and it isn't fun! But thankfully you're still very well within warranty, and with that being a technical fault it will be replaced. Plus pretty much every online shop as a 14 day period where they must accept returns, and you're inside that so it'll all be ok :)  And don't worry about the sob story, I'm gonna PM you something that's guaranteed to make you laugh :p

    Project CARS

    Chill bud, sometimes there's a fix! Do you have a different wheel rim on it to the normal one? Also with the wheel off and unplugged, try turning the wheel all the way to the left until it hits full left lock, then plug it all back in, there's a chance that may solve the off center problem. If it doesn't, you're using it on PC atm right? Check the software that runs the wheel and see if it's set to let games control where the wheel center is. As for the funny noise, I'm not sure on that...

    Project CARS

    Well if you get 60 FPS as standard with the game (is that with V-Sync yea?), it really depends how much of your GPU's resources are being used. But I think with your card, it'll still be hitting 60 with recording no problem :)  I used it to record some Prop Hunt footage, was getting between 90 and 120ish FPS as standard, and with Shadowplay active the lowest I saw it dip to was 85 I think. The only thing you might find is your game freezes for a moment or two when you hit record, otherwise it's fine :)

    The Game Thread!

    Don't worry about too much dude, mine's been making a light hissing/scratchy type of noise since the day I got it and it's been ok :) Plus the PSU for mine has made a similar noise since then too, but again I just ignore it now.

    No Rohan! It's still the 23rd here :p Let me enjoy being a young enough age where when I say it out loud it feels like I can still get away with being immature for the next 3 and a half hours ;)
