Wow! Ambient air temperature is a real consideration I reckon! My own room temperature is about 20C, so how you manage to sit there at 33, I don't know LOL. If I was about to OC in high ambient temperatures, I'd probably be looking to install a more "high end" watercooling system, just to be on the safe side. I also use Prime95 to test the CPU temps. It has a "Torture Test" which pretty much pushes the CPU to its absolute limits (much more so than any sim), so if you can stop things from going beyond the 80's in that test, eveyrthing else should be fine. Bear in mind too, that if you push things too far, the PC will likely just refuse to boot, so it's just a case of going back into the bios and stepping it down a little to find a setting that works with YOUR cpu and ram. Everything you do is at your own risk!! :bomb: (And don't report any bugs to ED while overclocked)

Yes, it's a fact that a successful overclock depends heavily on the quality of surrounding components. The P6T Deluxe V2 is a quality mobo and I was fortunate enough to put some good memory from Corsair. Having said that, I went through hell and three lots of memory before getting all 6Gb of that 1600Mhz ram to work together. I had started off with some "G-Skill" memory but the mobo just couldn't see it all, so I switched to Corsair and all was well with the world! By the way, Carney, I originally bought a CoolerMaster V8 and although it looked amazing, it was a pig to install and nowhere near as effective as the H50.

I've got an Asus P6T and an i7 920 overclocked to 4Ghz with NO issues whatsoever. It's extremely simple, but you need to install a decent cooling system as DarkEagle suggested. I bought a Corsair H50 water-cooler which was a total doddle to install. It works very well for me (and I know that FopeyDucker has the same setup). Don't bother to play with the settings in your bios UNTIL you've installed the cooler. Then get back to me and I'll let you know which settings to change. Tom

Hahahaha, I like your sense of humour :lol::thumbup: Great videos mate! They REALLY flatten the otherwise steep learning curve. Hats off to you mate! Rep inbound! Tom

Oh man, I would just LOVE DCS to do an F-16 sim.

In light of the fact that people have made donations to the Children's Hospice (many thanks) but didn't want to enter their names into the competition-hat, I'm going to extend the closing date to Sunday 14th. So come on guys, get your names in! You could always give the kit to a friend. Just PM your name and you're in!

TM staff I should imagine, along with other notable serial numbers. Bet the MD gets 12345 :)

Looks like TM are already up to half a million pounds of sales!

I agree - there's no shoddy workmanship in sight here - just a difference in appearance between the two switch-types. From an aesthetics point of view, it looks odd, but like I said in the first post, it's no big deal. I was merely griping (as is my way) :music_whistling:

Serial # 00456 Location: Bolton, UK.

I'm with you on that Kylania. I'm all in favour of supporting the things I love :thumbup:

EXCELLENT guide to MultiMonitor setup Kuky! Your setup looks stunning! +1 Rep

I heard you also did the occasional "Sack & Crack"! :lol:

I was about to create an online squadron and was thinking about the name for that. Eventually, I chose to name the Squadron after my favourite film at the time - "Reservoir Dogs". At first, I was going to call myself Mr Brown as a salute to Quentin Tarantino, but in the end I chose to be "MadDogMcQ".

Did I mention that I got mine straight away?? :music_whistling: Speaking of quantities, I wonder how many units have been made on the initial run?? My serial number is 0048# and was delivered in October.

Sounds like a plan! :thumbup:

Hahahahaha, that estranged wife will probably be mine!! I got complacent and it has cost me big time! I was in the garage last night repairing my grandson's electric car and she walked in with a coffee. But instead of giving me my drink and fecking off back to the house, she walked to the end of the garage to the section that is closed off by a large curtain. What was behind that curtain??? My Saiteks in the big Amazon box that the TMWH arrived in. After giving her some "off the cuff" bullshit, she went back to the house, only to return two minutes later in a fury, having seen the new setup lit up like the Xmas tree in Times Square! :cry: We're not speaking and we're sleeping at opposite edges of the matress. And it's her 50th birthday next week and I feel like a right *#@! :cry: Never mind, the feeling will pass. :megalol:

Indeed

So we can deduce from that, that the A-10 will be completed and on the shelves before Xmas. :-)

Hey, I remember you BRD! You rated one of my missions called "TUN OF TROUBLE" and you said.... "Excellent fun! Tough to go head-to-head with a Tunguska. Got a real sense of achievement to get the Mav off the rail as the SA-19 smoke trail looms closer" [brit Radar Dude]" Boy that was some time ago, huh? Believe it or not, that site is still up on the net, quietly rotting away :-) Nice to see you haven't bought the farm :thumbup: Tom

Just printed it off at work - many thanks Shu. It looks GREAT!! +1 REP

Roses are red Violets are blue I’ve got Alzheimer’s Cheese on toast

I'm from Bolton (UK) and wondered if there were any other serious DCS: A-10C simmers around? I seem to recall that in years gone by, groups of Viper fans would arrange meets once a month for a LAN Party. There must be other pilots closeby, surely! Give me a shout. Tom :)

Was already included in B1

I know it was me who raised the issue, but I'd be careful about ordering those switch-boots, because if you look at my photo (at the beginning) you will soon realise that there's barely any threads protruding through the casing for the switch-boots to screw onto.
