    just make sure you have somewhere away from houses to run a nitro, biggest problem with nitro is the sheer noise they make 🙂

    i need a new case as this one has seen 2 mother boards and 3 cpu's and 4 graphics cards, wonder if i should go to am5 as well , i have a 5700x ryzen with a 65 watt tdp 🙂
  6. Yrkoon
    woot it survived prime 95 on both cpu and memory 🙂 am5 chips will get hot as hell like 95c per core, dads one kepts consistant boost speeds on that and no game will ever make a cpu work like that 🙂 https://www.pcgamesn.com/amd/ryzen-7000-temperatures my am4 chip worries me if it hits 65 i have a am4 5700x with tdp of 65 the same as my old 3600, am4 has served me well but im getting tempted with dads new one 🙂
  7. Yrkoon
    looks awesome dad, just glad its all up and running with memory on expo profile 🙂

    we started to build it earlier and the last of the parts should be here tomorrow 🙂 heres a pic of his old one, the case was about 30 quid and is extremely old now for the shiny new one 🙂 woot motherboard and cpu installed ryzen 7000x and the corsair vengeance 6000 is installed too. woot heatsink installed, thats the easiest heat sink install ever as am5 boards seem to have the back bracket already installed as stock . the start of the annoying fiddly wires for motherboard headers 😛 yay im nearly as excited as him lol

      nope. New PSU made zero difference.

       

      I kind of new it wouldn't, but I had to try. It's a better PSU anyway. Just means I upgraded sooner. The old one was bought when a previous unit blew. It was cheap and available quick. This is a much better unit.

    steam deck is a beast, valve sell them at a loss i think, its a magicical device that kicks ass at emulation and plays new pc games.

     

    i am super impressed 😄

    the only weak point we have found as dad mentioned is the front plastic hinge pin holder, https://www.modelsport.co.uk/product/hobao-vs-vs2-cnc-aluminium-front-lower-arm-holder-fr-408830 that alloy hop up is solid and what we use 🙂

    arrghhhh cats, as soon as one is better another one acts up 😞

     

    good news about elsa but less good news about her brother :(

    elsa is recovering awesome and is back to her normal self she just needs her fur to grow back in from where she was shaved :)

    i noticed gizmo curled up in front of my room door earlier, nothing unusual in that apart from he seemed extremely docile, usually hes pawing at my door meowing to get in, a few hours passed off me passing him coming out room etc and thought something might be up with him.

    i picked him up and put him on the windowsill and he just lied there streatched out instead of his usual getting up, he would have fell down if i hadn't of supported him, took him through to dads room and put him on the bed saying theres something wrong with gizmo.

    he ended up trying to walk and kept falling over, seemed to be mostly focused on one leg at the back but the other back one was also seeming to give him trouble.

    ten mins later he was in the car going to a pdsa vet for a out of hours appointment as our local vet was shut, they ran bloods and couldnt seem to find any thing and they dont think hes broken any thing, only thing they noticed was his bladder was pretty full, so were to take him back there the morn if he hasnt done a pee by noon.

    they gave him a pain killer as well which seems to have helped a bit and hes eating and not throwing up at all, just hoping its nothing serious, he done a poop earlier but no pee :(

    hopefully he pee's soon and then we can take him to our proper vet on monday and find out what is going on with the poor guy.
     
    copy paste from a thread i made on ocuk.

      he seems back to normal today 🙂

      Well took him to vet earlier this evening and he was thoroughly examined and still cant find what caused it

      We did have a vase of Carnations on table in living room and he did chew/eat some and we have since found they are toxic to cats but not causing symptoms he had . needless to say Carnations no longer in house

      The plan was to keep him quiet in livingroom for couple of days but he decided its not happening and was wall of death about the house with his sister

      So i guess thats him fully recovered lol :rofl:

      when vet lifted him onto scales she said ohh your a big boy 5.65KG

    hobao hyper vse is similar to the hyper 7 but comes electric out the box and is a newer design, the hyper st will handle terrain that would have the hyper 7 or vse bouncing about on, i have all three (my hyper 7 and st are converted to leccy) and they are all robust and handle my abuse pretty well 🙂 edit: i cannot pick a favourite out of them, they are all awesome tough models 🙂
