Think I left the protector on the bottom of the cpu heatsink - don't tell anyone :S

just working out how to upload pics😂 sh*t at this tec stuff. Got a heap of mods getting done in a couple of weeks and just wanted to work out the upload process so I can let all know how it went. Cheers

There's a bunch of it at work left over from a previous turbo install so I'll get jiggy with that. I think I'll weld nuts to the dump and use little bolts to hold it in place. It'll give me an air gap and should be kinda neat looking.

Annual leave for 2 weeks as of today 😊 Gonna spend the next two weeks playing a bunch of guitar, working on some songs and just chilling out not thinking about work really. How's things on your end?

Here's you guys with your big PC builds, meanwhile I've gone tiny with my latest PC purchase - a NUC8i5BEK: Literally smaller than my hand: Have bought some other PC related things recently though. Since I've offloaded my Plex server and other associated duties to the NUC, I've set my main PC up as a more dedicated music recording station: Have a bit of a strange issue with the NUC rnadomly freezing if I leave the HDMI cable attached to it. Since my monitors aren't super new they only have a single DVI input, so I've setup a HDMI switch so I could toggle between my PC and NUC and then ran a HDMI to DVI cable out of the switch. Works fine with PC, but NUC seems to be not happy about something (tried all the troubleshooting tips and tricks I can find for it on the net, still no luck)...but unplugging the HDMI cable from the back it has resulted in zero freezes. So there's some sort of graphics gremlin, but whetever, I can just Windows Remote Desktop into it if/when I need to do anything on it, so no big deal really. The little NUC is a bit of a beast as a Plex server though! Have a PlexPass so running hardware transcoding, but it'll happily transcode a 4K HDR movie to 1080p without breaking a sweat (I.e. <50% CPU), so I'm pretty stoked with that! Everything in my house direct plays anyway, so it's not going to be too problematic, but nice to know I have the overhead.
