Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

We lost one of ours a few weeks back. It really hits hard doesn't it? Definitely one of the family members has gone.

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I don't think I'd ever buy anything from facebook but I do check out the seller's profile. How old is it? How many posts has it got? Does it look legit? etc. Driving: yup, people just don't bother indicating. It's not just BMW and Audis now. It's everyone. If I have to stop at one more roundabout be...

Re: General Gaming News

Starfield was a really weird one. I racked up over a 100 hours in it but it still hasn't left a need to go back. Once the gamepass sub dropped I didn't feel the need to get it again.

Well, discrete is a silly name then :) A big eff off GPU and noisy fan is not discrete :)
Yes it is. It is not discreet though.

Discrete: separate or divided
Discreet: polite and careful
oh
my
god.

I never realised that! And there's me thinking I was a learned gentleman!

Re: Gaming laptops and fan noise

I was thinking of just youtube browsing or the like with discrete turned on. I tried it and it seemed to just ignore the discrete bit and fired up the nvidia GPU anyway when I started a game to test it. I was hoping to try a small undervolt but it seems the laptop has that pretty much locked down. T...

Re: Gaming laptops and fan noise

I've removed some bloatware. Flattened the fan curves and it's much nicer.

Gaming laptops and fan noise

Any of yous lots got or had a gaming laptop? I thought I'd treat myself (promotion at work, yay) so got one. However, even when idling it can sometimes ramp up it's fan to really high levels. I windered if this was normal? Should I tweak the fan curves to let it run hot but quieter? I've never had o...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Started re-watching that a while back. I loved it back in the 90s.

The (kinda) twist in the middle was fun.

The fleshed out characters. All very good :)

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

I thought you linked the trailer. I wonder how long the trailer is, I thought. An hour and a half? Oh, that's the film in full! Thanks :)
