I'm sure we had one of these before, but as we've got nowhere else on the forums for general game chat, here it is....

Just short of 3 hours on Deus Ex Mankind Divided but I've seen enough. I enjoyed the last one but I've really not taken to this one at all. Another one to add to the list of 2016's AAA games that I have found to be disappointing.

Forget the 'over-hyped' Battlefield 1 ... uninstall it and enjoy gaming again with Shadow Warrior 2 ... it's the 'dogs b******s'! Well done Flying Hog Studios

Forgot to get something to wipe off the thermal paste. Hopefully have some cleaning alcohol at home.

We could always 'couple up' ... would be a long cable though, but my tower is like sitting next to a fridge when it's on ;¬)

Unless you're overclocking?


Yes, overclocking the 6600K. Plus the cooler was free, so no point not using it. Oh, and it looks pretty cool with its infinity glass effect.

You'd think that 2 hours would be enough time to move all my PC innards to a new case, but by midnight I was ready to give up for the evening (well, my wife wanted me to quit and come downstairs). Mostly done now, but need to double check connectors and install the liquid cooler before I do the switch on.

Try running in DX11 mode if you can; NVidia blatantly have some severe problems with DX12, and have freely admitted so (asynchronous compute for a start). I don't think any amount of game patching is going to solve that...


Looked at that and my card already has DX12 disabled but I've just tried 2 Campaign levels and both have restarted the PC! I am now seriously p****d off and Origin/EA will have a request for a refund tomorrow
